EMERGENCY
START-UP
If the Fiat CODE cannot deactivate
the engine immobilising system, the
¢ and U warning lights stay on and
the engine will not start. Follow the
emergency start-up procedure to
start the engine.
Read the whole procedure care-
fully before trying to carry it out.
If you make a mistake, you must turn
the ignition key back to STOP and
repeat the whole operation from the
beginning (step 1).
1) Read the 5-figure electronic code
given on the CODE card.
2) Turn the ignition key to MAR.
3) Press and hold down the acceler-
ator pedal. The injection system warn-
ing light
U will come on for about 8
seconds, and then go out. At this
point release the accelerator pedal
and get ready to count the flashes of
warning light U .
4) Count the number of flashes that
corresponds to the first figure of the
code on the CODE card, then press
the accelerator pedal and keep it there
until the
U warning light comes on
for four seconds and then goes out;
release the accelerator pedal.
5) The
U warning light will start
flashing again: after it has flashed the
number of times that corresponds to
the second figure on the CODE card,
press the accelerator pedal to the
floor and keep it there.
6) Do the same for the remaining
figures on the CODE card.
7) Once the final figure has been en-
tered, keep the accelerator pedal
pressed. The injection warning light
U will light up for four seconds and
then go out; release the accelerator
pedal.
8) The
U warning light will flash
rapidly for about 4 seconds to indicate
that the operation has been com-
pleted correctly.
9) Start the engine by turning the ig-
nition key from MAR to AVV.
If, however, the
U warning light
stays on, turn the ignition key to
STOP and repeat the procedure
from step 1.
IMPORTANT After an emergency
start, you should contact a Fiat Deal-
ership, otherwise you will have to re-
peat the procedure described each
time you want to start the engine.
