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.

  • Switch on the radio by pressing the "ON" button (23);
  • keep the "TP" button (10) pressed until the word "CODE" appears on the display for about 3 seconds;
  • press button "1" twice. The number "2" should appear on the display;
  • press button "2" seven times. The number "27" should appear on the display;
  • press button "3" ten times. The number "270" should appear on the display;
  • lastly, press button "4" three times. The number "2703" should appear on the display;
  • confirm the code number by keeping button "TP" (10) pressed until the word "SAFE" appears on the display;
  • after about 3 seconds the radio is operational and the code is activated.
