Procedure

- IMPORTANT If NBC software update (6.11) IS NOT LISTED on the DEIS Server, or if the software
version to be loaded DOES NOT MATCH the version indicated in this bulletin,
contact the FNA Help Desk and wait for further instructions.

- IMPORTANT Software downloading procedures must be performed with the cable DEIS-VCI
connection, and NOT with Bluetooth and/or W-LAN connections.

- IMPORTANT If, upon connecting the DEIS, the pending activities include multiple downloads for the same
ECU, always load the most recent software version and contact FNA Help Desk for the correct
management of the previous software versions.

- IMPORTANT As the download procedure is extremely fragile, lift the engine compartment lid, remove the
cosmetic inspection shield and connect the battery to a stabilized battery charger.

- IMPORTANT If multiple downloads are necessary, always perform the downloads one at a time.
