The flashes are emitted in sequence, at 1.5 second intervals for a maximum of 2 minutes or until the key is positioned on MAR.
If the dissuasion LED indicates a fault, the User should contact the Fiat After Sales Service.
It should be remembered that during servicing on the vehicle or in cases of alarm faults that trigger the siren, the alarm system can be cut out by turning the emergency key switch on the alarm ECU from ON to OFF .
After the servicing operations have been completed turn the emergency key switch back to ON and always reassemble the switch protection hood.
NOTE Each separate component of the alarm system installed on the vehicle becomes an integrating part, therefore it is not to be assembled or tested on other vehicles, even if they are the same model.
