ENGINE STARTING
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat Code system cannot deactivate the engine
immobiliser, the warning lights
¢ and U will remain
lit and the engine will not start. To start your car
follow the emergency start-up procedure.
Read the whole procedure carefully 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 beginning (step 1).
❒ Read the 5-figure electronic code given on the
CODE card.
❒ Turn the ignition key to MAR.
❒ Press and hold down the accelerator pedal. The
warning light
U turns on for about 8 seconds, and
then goes off; release the accelerator pedal and get
ready to count the flashes of the
U warning light.
❒ 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 4 seconds) and
then goes off; release the accelerator pedal.
❒ The warning light U 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.
❒ Do the same for the remaining figures on the
CODE card.
❒ Once the final figure has been entered, keep the
accelerator pedal pressed. The warning light
U will
light up for 4 seconds and then go out; release the
accelerator pedal.
❒ Rapid flashing of the warning light U (for about 4
seconds) confirms the operation has been carried
out successfully.
❒ Start the engine by turning the ignition key from
MAR to AVV.
If however the warning light
U stays on, turn the
ignition key to STOP and repeat the procedure from
step 1.
IMPORTANT After an emergency start-up, you should
contact a Fiat Dealership otherwise you will have to
repeat the procedure described each time you want to
start the engine.
