These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component. The inner surface of the engine bonnet includes a label with the different symbols used. THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM This is an electrical engine locking system which increases protection from attempted theft of the car. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted. Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor. If, during ignition, the code is not correctly recognized, the light Y lights up on the instrument panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; try with the other keys provided if the problem persists. If you still cannot start the engine contact the Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system ECU. 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 selftest (such as following a voltage drop). If the issue persists, contact the Fiat Dealership.
