MASTER key (maroon)

If the MASTER key is unavailable, it will be impossible to memorize new keys which permit engine starting.

If the MASTER key is lost or its Transponder is broken/lost, the following must be replaced:

  • notches kit and new keys (including the CODE CARD);
  • Fiat CODE control unit;
  • electronic fuel injection control unit.
This replacement of components is carried out at the first service intervention where the MASTER key has to be used (for example breakage of the ignition switch block).

Transponder

Under no circumstances may the key Transponders be handled, replaced or exchanged (except in cases of replacing the notches kit and new keys, and only the MASTER key).

Addition of a new key to the keys supplied with the car

Adding a new key involves the rememorization of all the existing keys supplied with the car, as keys not used during this procedure are deleted from memory.
