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.
