55.

The key memorization procedure is divided into two successive stages:

a. the secret code of the electronic keys is memorized in the Fiat CODE control unit;

b. the Fiat CODE control unit manages the memorization of the Master Code in the engine control unit (when the latter is unused).

This second stage is carried out automatically when the first has been completed successfully, when the ignition is switched ON again.

The procedure permits the memorization of up to a maximum of 8 and minimum of 3 keys, including the MASTER key.

The memorization procedure can only be used after the test carried out by the control unit ensures that everything is properly connected and operating (universal code activated and so car not protected).

The presence of the universal code can be checked by the flashing of the Code warning light; it has a frequency of 1.6 Hz and it starts 2.5 seconds after the ignition has been switched on (+15). After this check, the memorization procedure may be commenced.

To avoid errors in the key memorization procedure, the procedure described on the next page should be carried out thoroughly, before being carried out on the car.

All the keys in the user's possession should be memorized in this procedure.

Insert the MASTER key (maroon) in the ignition switch, in the off (STOP) position.

Turn the MASTER key to the ignition on (+15) position; the CODE warning light comes on for 0.7 s.
