digits, from 0 to 9: to insert the first digit
of the code, turn the BROWSE/ENTER
right knob and press to confirm.
After entering the fourth digit, the
system begins operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes". Once the text has
disappeared you can start the code
entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passportThis document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
