gundy grip should be kept in a safe

You should always keep the elec-

OPERATION
Each time you remove the ignition
key from the STOP or PARK posi-
tion, the protection system blocks the
engine.
When the key is turned to MAR at
engine startup:
1) If the code is recognised, the
warning lamp ¢ on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; this means that
the protection system has recognised
the key code and disabled the engine
immobiliser; turn the key to AVV to
start.
2) If the code is not recognised, the
warning lamp ¢ will remain lit to-
gether with the warning lamp U.
Should this happen, turn the key back
to STOP and then to MAR; if the en-
gine remains immobilised, try using the
other keys supplied with the car.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see “In an emergency”), and
take your car immediately to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
When travelling with the ignition key
on MAR:
1) If the warning lamp ¢ lights up
while the car is moving, it means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(e.g. due to a voltage drop). The first
time you stop you can test the system
as follows: switch the engine off by
turning the ignition key to STOP,
then turn the key back to MAR: the
warning lamp
¢ will light up and
should go out in the space of about
one second.
If the warning lamp fails to go out,
leave the key at STOP for more than
30 seconds and repeat the procedure
described previously. If the problem
persists, contact your nearest Fiat
Dealership.
2) If the warning lamp ¢ flashes it
means that the car is not protected by
the immobiliser. Contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately and get them
to store the codes of all the keys in the
memory.
The electronic compo-
nents inside the key may
be damaged if the key is
subjected to sharp knocks.
IMPORTANT Each key given with
the car has its own code, different
from all the others, which must be
stored in the memory of the system’s
control unit.
