Programming the country code

Programming the country code

- release the switch (A) and within 10 seconds press the same switch n times (see table on preceding page), to select the operating mode for the desired country (each press will be accompanied by a confirming beep).

The simplified programming procedure permanently deletes the UNIVERSAL code, used during the stages prior to delivery of the car to the Customer.

Procedure b)

Alternatively, the country code can be programmed by means of the following procedure: - open the bonnet; - turn the ignition from on to off (STOP position), then before 15 seconds elapse, press 7 times in rapid succession (in less than 10 seconds) the switch (A) (bonnet open sensor); 5 beeps will indicate entry into MANUAL DIAGNOSIS (see page 150 of previous Section 55). During this stage (5 beeps) press and hold down the switch (A). A final long beep will indicate acceptance of this action; - hold down the switch (A) throughout the duration of the long beep. This long beep confirms start of "country code programming", and so the possibility of subsequently entering the "country code";

CLOSING THE MEMORY

To avoid the entry of unauthorized remote controls, the memory must be protected (closed); this operation takes place automatically after the alarm system has switched on/off 128 times. The memory can also be closed manually by entering the access code (Password) (4-digit number stated on the tag attached to the ignition key with remote control illustrated on page 2), for example on a new car before delivery, after all the codes of the remote controls given to the Customer have been entered. The procedure for entering the Password is as follows: 1. Take one of the tags of the remote controls memorized in the receiver, then press for 1 second the button on the receiver: the LED flashes for as long as the button is held down. 2. Then release the button: after about 3 seconds, the LED flashes briefly, to indicate that the first digit of the Password can be entered. 3. Press the receiver button as many times as indicated by the first digit of the Password (e.g. if the Password is 5.2.0.3.: press 5 times). Note that whenever the button is pressed, the LED comes on briefly to give visual confirmation. 4. About 3 seconds after the last press of the button (the fifth in the example), the LED emits another flash to request the entry of the next digit. 5. Proceed as described in point 3 to enter all the subsequent digits.

NOTE When the password (see example) contains a "0", do not press the button on the receiver, but wait for the request to enter a new digit, indicated by the next flash.

After the 4 digits of the Password have been entered, the LED on the receiver may: - flash for about 10 seconds; to indicate that the Password has been entered correctly; - come on and stay on for about 10 seconds; to indicate that the Password has not been entered correctly, so after the LED has gone out, the Password should be re-entered correctly starting from point 1. The correct entry of the access code (Password) "closes" (protects) the memoery, to prevent the memorization of unauthorized remote controls. In fact it is impossible to memorize a new remote control, because after transmitting its code, the warning light (LED) on the receiver will stop flashing to indicate that the operation has failed; in this case the memory has to be "opened", proceeding as described on the next page.
