Instruments
Programming the immobilizer
This instrument panel function enables programming of the Immobilizer System.
Note
Only 2 keys may be programmed.
Insert KEY 1 (one of the two black keys) and turn the ignition switch from Off to On;
within 3 seconds turn the ignition switch from On to Off;
within 15 seconds insert KEY 2 (the other black key) and turn the ignition switch from Off to On;
within 3 seconds turn the ignition switch from On to Off;
within 15 seconds, insert KEY X again (either Key 1 or Key 2) and turn the ignition switch from Off to ON.
If the procedure was successful, the instrument panel will display the message "PROG. OK" steadily for 3 seconds before
returning to the normal display mode.
Programming aborted:
if you allow the 3 second countdown after Key-On or the 15 second countdown after Key-Off to elapse, or you make a
mistake in the programming procedure, the instrument panel will abort the programming operation and display
the message "PROG OFF" for 3 seconds before returning to normal display mode.
Important
During the programming procedure, the instrument panel, in addition to saving the key codes in its memory, retrieves two
"electronic" codes from the insertion of KEY 1 (the first black key to be inserted) and KEY 2 (the second black key to be
inserted).
If the immobilizer is reprogrammed, the key codes will be erased and replaced with the new codes of the new keys;
the two "electronic" codes, however, remain permanently in memory and cannot be deleted or overwritten.
The code on the Code Card corresponds to one of the two electronic codes and is used for the Immobilizer Recovery and
Immobilizer Reprogramming procedures.
Immobilizer override procedure
Should the immobilizer become locked, you can perform the "Immobilizer Override" procedure from the instrument panel
by entering the respective function as described below.
Select the "CODE" page from the menu.
Note
This menu should be active only if there is at least one immobilizer error.
With this page selected, the initial code is always displayed as "00000". If you hold pressed switch (1) in position B "t" for
3 seconds, you will access the procedure for entering the electronic code given on the Code Card.
Entering the code:
on entering this function, the first digit on the left starts flashing.
Switch (1):
each time you press the switch in position B "t", the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second;
if you press the switch in position A "s", you can set the second digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the
