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.
This a radio-frequency remote con-
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.

Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the en-
gine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the control units governing igni-
tion and fuel feed.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, you can use an-
other battery to start the engine. Its
capacity must be the same or slightly
greater than the flat battery (see the
chapter “Technical specifications”).
This is what to do fig. 1:
1)Connect positive terminals (signal
+in proximity of the terminal) of the
two batteries with a jump lead.
2)With a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earth point Eon the en-
gine or transmission of the vehicle to
be started.IMPORTANTDo not connect the
two negative terminals directly: sparks
could ignite the explosive gas output
from the battery. If the other battery
is fitted in a vehicle, prevent acciden-
tal contacts between the metal parts
of the two vehicles.
3)Start the engine.
4)When the engine has been start-
ed, remove the leads in the reverse
order.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, do not keep turning the key
but have the car seen to at a Fiat
Dealership.

Do not carry out this pro-
cedure if you lack experi-
ence; if it is not done correctly it
can cause very intense electrical
discharges. Furthermore, the fluid
in the battery is poisonous and cor-
rosive, avoid contact with your skin
and eyes.
Do not put naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes near the battery and
do not cause sparks.
