ENGINE STARTING
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to
the damage caused.
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental protection is
fitted in your car.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can
support the required load.

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on the CODE
card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety
features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

SYMBOLS
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the components of your Fiat Idea. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 10.
fig. 10
F0H0012m
To further protect you car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.

OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the
STOP position, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
At starting, if the code has not been recognised correctly, the warning light
Y
will
come on.
In this case, the key should be moved to
the STOP position and then back to
MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car,
then contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up
to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Dealership.
Warning light
coming on when
Y
driving
❒
If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a selftest (for example for a voltage drop).
Should the inconvenience persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components
inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.

REV. COUNTER fig. 26
Engine rpm indicator.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.
