Saloon versions: location of receiver

When the receivers are fitted on the vehicle they contain a "UNIVERSAL" code which is used for carrying out the tests at the end of the production line with a special remote control which has a universal code.

When the vehicle is later handed over to the Customer the receiver must be personalized replacing the "UNIVERSAL" code with the ones for the remote control which comes with the vehicle (see "PROGRAMMING" on the pages which follows).

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control for the alarm system, incorporated in the key, is an electronic device which sends the receiver a suitable signal for operating the opening/closing of the doors and activating/de-activating the alarm system.

Each time the control button (1) is pressed, the remote control sends a radio code with an operating range of about 10 metres.

2. Repeater LED
3. Password code plate
4. Transponder (used by Fiat CODE - not visible)

NOTE Each key with remote control has a plate (3) with a 4 figure code (password) for protection against unauthorized programming (protected programming). The plate should be removed by the Dealer when the vehicle is handed over and placed on the reverse of the Code Card (refer to the Fiat CODE chapter). Mislaying the plate does not adversely affect the use of the alarm system, but it means that NEW REMOTE CONTROLS CANNOT BE PROGRAMMED (see description on pages which follow). If this occurs, the receiver and the keys must be replaced (to have the plates).
