ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection system composed of a secret 4 figure code.
The protection system means that the radio cannot be used once it is removed from the dashboard if it is stolen.
Secret code
The secret 4 figure code is given on the "Security Code card" which comes together with the "Fiat Code Card" for the vehicle. The secret code should be kept in a safe place (for example together with the vehicle documents), but not in the vehicle.
Entering the secret code
The activation of the code in the radio becomes necessary:
- a) when the vehicle is handed over by the dealer;
- b) after each time the battery supply is interrupted.
Initial entering of secret code
NOTE In order to clarify the procedure, make a note that the number of the secret code on the "Security Code Card" is 2073.
