THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control has a button A-
fig. 7and a led B. The button activates
the system. The led flashes while the
signal is being transmitted to the re-
ceiver.

trol and must be used close to the ve-
hicle.
Ministerial homologation
With respect to the legislation in
force in each country on the use of ra-
dio frequencies:
– the market specific homologation
codes are given in the chapter “Ac-
cessory installation”;
– the homologation code is printed
on the remote control for the markets
which require it.SYSTEM PROGRAMMING
When your new car is handed over
to you, the electronic alarm has al-
ready been programmed by your Fi-
at Dealership. Any subsequent pro-
gramming should also be carried out
by a Fiat Dealership.
If, therefore, you ever need a new re-
mote control, go to your nearest Fi-
at Dealership, taking with you the
key with the burgundy grip, all the re-
mote controls in your possession and
the CODE card.REPLACING THE BATTERIES
Change the remote control batter-
ies when led B-fig. 7on the remote
control flashes once only when
pressed or when ledA-fig. 8on the
central tunnel stays on when the alarm
system is turned off. Change the bat-
teries with a similar type as follows:
open the plastic covers; insert the new
batteries respecting the polarity
shown; close the plastic covers fig. 9.
Used batteries are an
environmental hazard.
Dispose of them in ap-
propriate containers as pre-
scribed by the law. Alternatively,
take the batteries to a Fiat Deal-
ership who will dispose of them
correctly.
