If the Fiat code cannot deactivate the engine immobilizing system, the warning
lights stay on and the engine will
not start. Follow the emergency start-up procedure to start the engine.
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 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 accelerator pedal. The injection system warning light
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 the
injection warning
light.
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
warning light comes on for four seconds
and then goes out;
release the accelerator pedal.
5) The 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 entered, keep the accelerator pedal pressed.
The warning light will light up for
four seconds and then go out;
release the accelerator pedal.
8) The warning light will flash rapidly
for about 4 seconds to indicate that the operation has been completed correctly.
9) Start the engine by turning the ignition key from MAR to AVV.
If, however, the warning light 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.
