Start a Fiat with a Dead Key Fob

How to Start a Fiat with a Dead Key Fob

Starting Your Fiat

Fiat models built after 2010 use the rounded key fob shown in the image. Place the “nose” side (side opposite of the mechanical key – its very sensitive to this) of the Key Fob against the Start / Stop ignition button (right) and push to operate the ignition switch.

Do NOT try to remove this button! We have actually seen an owners manual citing an older key and button. Do NOT remove the flush button. Simply press the button with the nose of the key fob!

We have a video here that will help.

Note: If you have made an attempt to start the vehicle without success, there may be residual pressure in the brake system and a new warning light may appear (left) or text message to Step on the Brake. Press the brake pedal very, very hard when trying to start the vehicle again to be sure that the release switch behind the pedal is engaged. Or wait a few minutes and try again.

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
