WARNING
1)When carrying a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on the
plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane,
the key emits electromagnetic waves,
which could adversely affect the plane’s
flight operation. When carrying a key in a
bag, be careful that no switches on the key
can be easily pressed by mistake.2)Don’t make any alterations or additions
to the immobilizer system; alterations or
additions could cause failure of the
immobilizer.
3)When the key case is opened, be careful
to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.4)People with implantable cardiac
pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-
defibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmitters
(B) see fig. 15, fig. 16. The radio waves
used by the keyless operation system could
adversely affect implantable cardiac
pacemakers or implantable
cardiovascular-defibrillators.

5)When using electro-medical devices
other than implantable cardiac pacemakers
or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electro-medical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the adverse effects of radio waves on the
devices. Electro-medical device operations
could be affected by radio waves.
IMPORTANT
1)Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat

IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) fig. 26 will flash
orange when there is a problem or
