Programming And Requesting Additional
Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by an
authorized dealer.

NOTE:

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to
another vehicle.
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer. This procedure consists of
programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics. A blank key fob is one that has never
been programmed.

NOTE:

When having the Engine Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.
Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to
match the vehicle locks.
For Quadrifoglio models, if you need a
replacement key fob, contact an authorized
dealer.
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized use of the vehicle by disabling
engine starting. The system does not need to be
enabled or activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or
unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button
ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to
the vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two
seconds if an invalid key fob is used to start the
engine.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for
three seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb
check, it indicates that someone used an invalid
key fob to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off
after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is
a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have
the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an
authorized dealer.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed to the vehicle electronics

Ú
page 259.

NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key.
WARNING!
The integrated key fob contains a coin cell
battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a
chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery
is swallowed, it can cause severe internal
burns in just two hours and can lead to
death.
If you think a battery may have been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the
body, seek immediate medical attention.
Keep new and used batteries away from
children. If the battery compartment does
not close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children.
CAUTION!
The battery replacement operation must be
done with care, in order not to damage the
key fob.
WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Always remember to place the ignition in
the OFF position.
CAUTION!
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.

RED WARNING LIGHTS
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and will
turn on for four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light
will illuminate with a single chime when a fault
with the air bag has been detected, it will stay on
until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on
during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various
brake functions, including brake fluid
level and parking brake application. If
the brake light turns on it may indicate
that the parking brake is applied, that the brake
fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with
the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the
full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on
until the condition has been corrected. If the
problem is related to the brake booster, the
ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during
each stop. The dual brake system provides a reserve braking
capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the
hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual
brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning
Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level
in the master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.

NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic
Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an
EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on
along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the
ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two seconds.
The light should then turn off unless the parking
brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the
light does not illuminate, have the light inspected
by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake
is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position.

NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
WARNING!
If the warning light does not turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position or
if it stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
malfunction in the restraint systems; This
could mean the air bags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
they could deploy erroneously. This could
result in serious injuries or death. Have the
vehicle checked by qualified technician
immediately.
Driving a vehicle with a red Brake Warning
Light on is dangerous. Part of the brake
system may have failed. It will take longer to
stop the vehicle in such circumstances. This
could result in a collision and serious injuries
or death. Have the vehicle checked by a
qualified technician immediately.

The telltale will illuminate in the case of
failure of the automatic low beam
alignment.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Dynamic Drive Control System Failure
The telltale will illuminate to signal a
failure in the dynamic drive control
system.
Electric Park Brake Failure
The telltale will illuminate and a
message will display to signal a failure
in the electric park brake system.
This failure may partially or completely block the
vehicle because the park brake could remain
activated even if automatically or manually
disengaged using the relevant controls. In these
circumstances, you can disengage the park brake
following the emergency disengagement
procedure

Ú
page 89. If you are still able to drive the vehicle (park brake
is not engaged), drive to the nearest authorized
dealer and remember, when executing any
maneuvers/commands, that the electric park
brake is not operational.
Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-In
Attempt
Engine Immobilizer System Failure
The
telltale will illuminate to report a failure
of the Engine Immobilizer system.
Break-In Attempt The telltale will illuminate when
the ignition is cycled to ON position, to indicate a
possible break-in attempt detected by the alarm
system.
Electronic Key Not Recognized The telltale will
illuminate when the engine is started and the
electronic key is not recognized by the system.
Alarm System Failure The telltale will illuminate to
report an alarm system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Exterior Lights Failure

The telltale will illuminate to indicate a
failure on the following lights: Daytime
Running Lights (DRLs) / parking lights /
trailer turn signal indicators (if present) /
trailer lights (if present) / side lights / turn signal
indicators / rear fog light / reversing light / brake
lights / license plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a
blown protection fuse, or an interruption of the
electrical connection.
Replace the bulb or the relevant fuse. Contact an
authorized dealer.
Engine Oil Change Required —
If Equipped
The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.

NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine is
started the symbol will continue to illuminate as
previously described until the oil is changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the
oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by
using the vehicle for short drives, preventing the
engine from reaching operating temperature.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING!
If a failure is present with sharp braking, the
rear wheels may lock and the vehicle may
swerve.
CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the symbol is switched
on, and never more than 500 miles (805 km)
after it first switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so
if it flashes you do not need to top up the
engine oil.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement
to pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions
control system. Failure to pass could prevent
vehicle registration.For states that require an Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M), this check
verifies the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is functioning and is not
on when the engine is running, and that the
OBD II system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The
OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle
was recently serviced, recently had a depleted
battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II
system should be determined not ready for the
I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test. Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test,
which you can use prior to going to the test
station. To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is
ready, you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ACC position,
but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:
If you crank or start the engine, you will have to
start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the ACC position, you will see the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part
of a normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:
The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and
then return to being fully illuminated until you
turn OFF the ignition or start the engine.
This means that your vehicle's OBD II system
is not ready and you should not proceed to
the I/M station.
The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully
illuminated until you place the ignition in the
off position or start the engine. This means
that your vehicle's OBD II system is ready and
you can proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see
an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your
vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery
failure or replacement, you may need to do
nothing more than drive your vehicle as you
normally would in order for your OBD II system to
update. A recheck with the above test routine
may then indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II
system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated
during normal vehicle operation you should have
your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M
station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle
because the MIL is on with the engine running.

The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the
instrument panel for approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch
is first in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off.
If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the
system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A single
chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on
again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag Warning
Light if a malfunction is detected that could affect
the air bag system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction. While the air bag
system is designed to be maintenance free, if any
of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immediately.
The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the
ignition switch is first in the ON/RUN position.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the
four to eight-second interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermit-
tently or remains on while driving.

NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine
related gauges are not working, the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled.
In this condition the air bags may not be ready to
inflate for your protection. Have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system immediately.
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning Light
is detected, which could affect the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
the Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
will illuminate on the instrument panel. The
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light will stay on until
the fault is cleared. In addition, a single chime will
sound to alert you that the Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light has come on and a fault has been
detected. If the Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
comes on intermittently or remains on while
driving have an authorized dealer service the
vehicle immediately.

Front Air Bags
This vehicle has front air bags and lap/shoulder
belts for both the driver and front passenger. The
front air bags are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint systems. The driver front air bag is
mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
The passenger front air bag is mounted in the
instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
The words “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” are
embossed on the air bag covers.
Driver Front Air Bag
Passenger Front Air Bag WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t have
the air bag system to protect you in a collision.
If the light does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on, stays on
after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as
you drive, have an authorized dealer service
the air bag system immediately.
