THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

• The Fiat Code system is an electrical engine immobiliser system which
increases protection against attempted car theft. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is removed.
• Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine management
control unit to deactivate the immobiliser.
• If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
light switches on in the instrument panel.

• In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still
immobilised, try again with the other keys supplied with the vehicle. Contact
a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.
NOTE: each key has its own code which must be stored by the system’s control
unit. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to 8) stored with a code.
THE KEYS – CODE CARD
• The car is delivered with two copies of the ignition key and with the CODE
card which bears the following:
• the electronic code.
• the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Dealership when ordering
duplicate keys.
• You are advised to keep the electronic code with you at all times.
