Alarm

Diagram of the alarm receiver unit showing numbered callouts 1 through 5, including a remote control key being inserted into the programming button area.
  1. Remote control warning light (LED)
  2. 4-digit access code (password)
  3. Remote control button on ignition key
  4. Warning light (LED) on front central courtesy light
  5. Programming button

If the LED (4) on the receiver stops flashing and goes out when the remote control button (3) is pressed, this means that the receiver’s memory is closed, so "PROTECTED" programming should be used.

NOTE To memorize the subsequent remote controls, repeat the above-mentioned operations.

Programming country code

Procedure a)

After memorizing the remote controls as described above, within 15 seconds of releasing the button (5) of the receiver on the courtesy light, the code of the country where the alarm system has to operate must be memorized.

The country code is programmed by pressing the button (5) of the receiver in rapid succession n times (see table below). The LED (4) will flash at each press of the button.

If the button (5) is not pressed, the system sets itself to the country code previously memorized; if there is none (1st programming), the system sets itself automatically to the operating mode for "ITALY".

NOTE The 15 seconds are reduced to 3 from the second memorization onwards.

! If the procedure has been carried out correctly, the warning light (LED) (5) on the receiver will flash n times (where n is the selected country code number), confirming that the code has been memorized by both the receiver and the control unit; if not, the LED (5) comes on and stays on for 5 seconds; at this point it will be necessary to repeat all the programming operations starting from point 1.

For cars intended for the British market, if the LED does not come on again, this means that the control unit is not connected to the receiver or is not supplied.

NOTE To programme the country code, you can use the procedure with the FIAT/LANCIA Tester and the other diagnostic systems.

SIMPLIFIED PROGRAMMING

The memorization of a remote control must always take place with:

  • - alarm off (dissuasion LED off)
  • - ignition key removed or at the STOP or PARK positions
  • - emergency key switch (except for versions for the British market which do not have it) at the ON position

With this programming system, all the codes of the remote controls, with no limit as to quantity, are "recognized", but only the last 8 remain stored in the alarm system’s memory as follows:

  1. press and hold down the button (5) on the receiver, built into the front central courtesy light; the adjacent warning light (LED) (4) should flash;
  2. still holding down the button (5), press the button (3) on the remote control;
  3. then release the button (3) on the remote control when the LED (4) on the receiver stays on permanently;
  4. release the button (5) on the courtesy light to conclude the procedure.
