On working my way through the manual, I am told that when I activate the remote locking, the flashers should operate in a coded fashion depending on function. Mine don't and when I asked the dealer (Fiat franchise) I was told that this was not the case on that model, although the handbook doesn't say this. Anyone confirm this?

Mike Thanks for that Pat Macguire P & H Macguire View Public Profile Find all posts by P & H Macguire Add P & H Macguire to Your Buddy List   #4   08-28-2006, 12:13 PM Nick Bailey ///// Junior Member   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 137 Fiat Idea question Absolutely true for the Stilo. I had my Fiat dealer turn on the indicator flashing with the Fiat "Examiner". The same should be possible with the Idea. The alarm and flasher regulations vary from country to country. To have these production "hard coded" does not make sense with modern mass production and cost effective production requirements.
