55.
The key memorization procedure is divided into two successive stages:
a. the secret code of the electronic keys is memorized in the Fiat CODE control unit;
b. the Fiat CODE control unit manages the memorization of the Master Code in the engine control unit
(when the latter is unused).
This second stage is carried out automatically when the first has been completed successfully, when
the ignition is switched ON again.
The procedure permits the memorization of up to a maximum of 8 and minimum of 3 keys, including the
MASTER key.
The memorization procedure can only be used after the test carried out by the control unit ensures that
everything is properly connected and operating (universal code activated and so car not protected).
The presence of the universal code can be checked by the flashing of the Code warning light; it has a fre­
quency of 1.6 Hz and it starts 2.5 seconds after the ignition has been switched on (+15). After this
check, the memorization procedure may be commenced.
To avoid errors in the key memorization procedure, the procedure described on the next page
should be carried out thoroughly, before being carried out on the car.
All the keys in the user's possession
should be memorized in this proce­
dure.
Insert the MASTER key (maroon) in the igni­
tion switch, in the off (STOP) position.
Turn the MASTER key to the ignition on
(+15) position; the CODE warning light co­
mes on for 0.7 s.
