THE KEYS
CODE CARD fig. 4
The car is delivered with two copies of the ignition key
and with the CODE card which bears the following:
A the electronic code to be used for emergency starting
(see “Emergency starting” in chapter “Correct use of
the car”).
B the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Deal-
ership when ordering duplicate keys.
Make sure you have the electronic code A with you at all
times in the event you have to perform an emergency
starting.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of
the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never
be exposed to direct sunlight.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system electronic control unit. Contact the
Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with
the code.
Warning light Y coming on when driving
❒ If the warning light Y
turns on, this means that the
system is running a self-diagnosis (for example for a volt-
age drop). At the first stop, turn the ignition key to
STOP and then back to MAR: if no failure is detected,
the warning light
Y will not come on.
❒ If the warning light Y stays on, repeat the above pro-
cedure leaving the key at STOP for over 30 seconds.
Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒ If the warning light Y stays on, the code has not been
recognised. In this case, turn the key to STOP again and
then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
with the other keys provided with the car. If you still
cannot start the engine, perform the emergency start
procedure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and then
contact the Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is submitted to
strong shocks.
