1) Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with them:
leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed. Children
may find these keys to be an interesting toy
to play with and could cause the power
windows or other controls to operate, or
even make the vehicle move.
2) There is the danger of explosion if the
battery is not correctly replaced.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside the
key may be damaged if the key is subjected
to strong shocks. In order to ensure
complete efficiency of the electronic
devices inside the key, it should never be
exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Make sure the battery is installed
correctly. Battery leakage could occur if it is
not installed correctly.
3) When replacing the battery, be careful
not to touch any of the internal circuitry and
electrical terminals, bend the electrical
terminals, or get dirt in the transmitter as
the transmitter could be damaged.
4) Dispose of used batteries according to
the following instructions: insulate the plus
and minus terminals of the battery using
cellophane or equivalent tape. Never
disassemble. Never throw the battery into
fire or water. Never deform or crush.
5) Replace only with the same type battery
(CR2025 or equivalent).
IMPORTANT

Fiat Dealership, which will take care of their
disposal.
