not start the engine.
Warning light
Y
coming on
when driving
❒ If the warning light
Y
turns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
❒ If the warning light
Y
stays on, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine control unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Y
turns on ac-
companied by the related message on the
display.
