MANUAL DIAGNOSIS
It is possible to carry out MANUAL DIAGNOSIS, opening the bonnet and turning the ignition key from MARCIA to STOP. within 15 seconds the bonnet pushbutton must be pressed 7 times in rapid succession in less than 10 seconds; 5 beeps will then will then be heard signalling the start of manual diagnosis. After 10 seconds the blinkers will flash once (500 ms).
Entering this mode, the self-diagnosis procedure of the volumetric sensors connected to the control unit is started automatically. If the test result is positive the direction indicators will flash 3 times and 3 beeps will be heard from the control unit. After this first check, trigger the various switches of the doors, bonnet and tailgate: each triggering will correspond to a brief flash of the direction indicators and by a beep, accompanied by a flash of the warning LED. When the ignition switch is turned to MARCIA the siren will sound briefly (500 msec.) and the blinkers will flash (2.5 sec.).
This last operation concludes the manual diagnosis procedure. It is also possible to exit MANUAL DIAGNOSIS by not triggering any sensor for 30 seconds: exit from manual diagnosis will be signalled by the turning on of the direction indicators for appr. 2.5 seconds and a beep.
