Programming Country Code

Programming Country Code

When the simplified programming is over, in the 3 seconds following the release of the switch for the receiver in the courtesy light, a space remains open in the system for the anti-theft system to recognize the code of the Country where it should operate.

This takes place by pressing the receiver switch in rapid succession, see table 3 (below).

If the switch is not pressed, the E.E.C. operating method will automatically be recognized if the operation is being carried out for the first time. If, however, the operation has been carried out previously, the system will operate in accordance with the instructions already memorized.

N.B. When programming the Country code it is preferable to use the procedure with the FI-AT/LANCIA Tester - M29-A module or the procure given below.

If the procedure has been correct the LED in the receiver will flash 6 times, signalling that the code has been memorized both in the courtesy light receiver and in the V.A.S. control unit; if this is not the case, the LED will flash 18 times and all the operations starting from point 1 for the simplified programming will have to be repeated.

It will also be possible to recognize the Country operating methods via the following other procedure:

• open the bonnet lid;
• turn the ignition switch from the ON position to the PARK position: within 15 seconds the bonnet lid button should be pressed 7 times in rapid succession in less than 10 seconds; 5 beeps will signal entry into MANUAL DIAGNOSIS (see paragraph on FAULT DIAGNOSIS). During these 5 beeps press the bonnet lid switch again. A last long beep will signal that this new instruction has been accepted;
• keep the switch pressed for the entire duration of the long beep. The latter signals the entry into the Country Programming state and therefore the possibility of subsequently entering the Country code;
• release the switch and press the switch within the next 10 seconds, in accordance with the table below to select the operating method for the desired Country (each time it is pressed there will be a confirmation beep).

N.B. To enter a subsequent remote control, repeat the opeations from point 1 for the simplified programming.
