SYSTEM

Activation

2) 3) 4) 5)

This is an electronic engine locking

system which increases protection

against attempted thefts of the car. It is

automatically activated when the

ignition key is removed.

When the device is at STOP, remove

the key and turn the steering wheel until

it locks.

The key can be turned to 3 different

positions fig. 3:

STOP: engine off, key can be

removed, steering column locked.

Some electrical devices (e.g. audio

system, central door locking system,

etc.) can operate;

Turning off

Move the steering wheel slightly and

turn the key to MAR.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started by

turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat

CODE system control unit sends a

recognition code to the Powertrain

Control Module to deactivate the

immobiliser.

MAR: driving position. All electrical

devices are enabled;

WARNING

AVV: engine starting.

2) If the ignition device has been tampered

with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it

checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving

again.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE

system control unit has acknowledged

the code received from the key.

the code is not correctly recognised,

4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any

after-market operation involving steering

system or steering column modifications

(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that

could badly affect performance and safety,

invalidate the warranty and also result in

non-compliance of the car with type-

approval requirements.

instrument panel. In this case, turn

the key to STOP and then to MAR-ON;

if it is still locked, try again with the

other keys that come with the car.

Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still

cannot start the engine.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety

system that requires the ignition key

to be turned back to STOP if the engine

does not start, before the starting

operation can be repeated.

5) Never remove the key while the car is

moving. The steering wheel will

automatically lock as soon as it is turned.

This holds true for cars being towed as

metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by

applying a high pressure on the fabric in

a small area, could cause it to break,

thereby damaging the upholstery.
