2007 FIAT IDEA radio controls

SYMBOLS
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.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
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.

CELLULAR TELEPHONE PROVISION (where fitted)
The telephone provision is matched to the radio with CD or CD MP3 and consists of:
❒dual-purpose aerial (sound system + cellular phone 900/1800 MHz), on the car roof;
❒dual-purpose aerial connecting cable and wiring with 10-way connector.
The connector is located between the the steering column and the central console.
The hands-free kit must be purchased by the Customer since it must be compatible with the owned
cellular phone. You are suggested to have the microphone installed next to the front ceiling light.
WARNINGThe maximum power applicable on the aerial is 20W.
Contact Fiat Dealership for the installation and connection of the cellular
phone on the vehicle, to prevent any faults which might compromise the car
safety.WARNING

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that
in any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides suggesting
the most suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fiat,
will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle electric system is able to
withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the car
or in aftermarket shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of
transceivers provided that installation is carried out at
a specialized shop, workmanlike performed and in
compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in
modifications of car characteristics may cause driving
license seizing by traffic agents and also the lapse of

abovementioned modification or traceable back to it
directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damages
caused by the installation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified requirements.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile
phones, HAM radio systems and the like) shall not be
used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial is
mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without separated aerial)
produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields
which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause electrical systems
equipping the vehicle to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the
vehicle body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.
