IGNITION DEVICE
OPERATION
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 6:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g.
Uconnect™
, central door locking
system, alarm, etc.) are enabled;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the device is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON
WARNING
4)
If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by an Abarth Dealership
before driving again.
5)
Always remove the key when you
leave your car to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage 1st gear if the car is parked uphill
or reverse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in the car.
6)
Never remove the key while the
car is moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as
well.
7)
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with type-approval
requirements.
FIAT CODE SYSTEM
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the car, disabling
engine starting.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control Module
to deactivate the immobiliser.
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 STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
control module.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon
appears on the display.
In this case, turn the key to STOP
and then to MAR; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that
come with the car. Contact an Abarth
Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
WARNING Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system's
control unit. Contact an Abarth
