cations come on immediately after re-

ership.

SYSTEM FAILURE -
FIAT CODE
(amber)
Turning the key to MAR the warning light
shall flash only once and then go off.
If with the ignition key at MAR, the warn-
ing light stays on, this indicates a possible
failure (see “Fiat Code system” in section
“Dashboard and controls”).
IMPORTANT The turning on at the same
time of the U and Y warning lights in-
dicates a failure of the Fiat CODE system.
If with the engine running the warning light
Y flashes, this means that the car is not
protected by the engine inhibitor device
(see “Fiat Code system” in section “Dash-
board and controls”).
Contact Fiat Dealership to have all the key
memorised.
