Road safety
Vehicle radio passport
Please, learn how to use all different
radio functions (e.g. save stations)
before beginning to drive.
This document certifies the ownership
of the vehicle radio. The radio passport
shows the radio model, serial number
and secret code.
Care and maintenance
The secret code is made up of four
digits from 1 to 6, each corresponding
to one of the dashes.
Clean the cover with a soft anti-static
cloth only. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.
IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in
a safe place so that you can give the
information to the relevant authorities if
the radio is stolen.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the button corresponding to the
pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6).
Enter the other code digits in the same
way. If the four digits are not entered
within 20 seconds, the display shows
the text "Enter code - - - -". If this
occurs, it is not considered an incorrect
code entry.
ANTI-THEFT
PROTECTION
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) present on the
vehicle. This system guarantees
maximum safety and prevents the
secret code from being entered each
time the radio power supply is
disconnected.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20
seconds), the radio will work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display
shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to
notify the user of the need to enter
the correct code.
