fuse Alfa Romeo 166 2006 Owner handbook (in English)

IMPORTANTIn the case of fast start-
ing, turning the key directly from STOP
toAV V, the recognition code might not
be transmitted completely, preventing the
engine from starting: try again more
slowly.
IMPORTANTThe system is protected
by two fuses housed in the main fusebox
(see “If a fuse or relay blows” in the
chapter “In an emergency”).
EMERGENCY STARTING
If it is not possible to deactivate the en-
gine inhibitor with the ignition key, Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services can carry out
the emergency procedures using the code
of the CODE card, or, you may do this
yourself, following the procedure de-
scribed below.
IMPORTANTYou are advised to care-
fully read the entire procedure before car-
rying it out.If a mistake is made during the emer-
gency procedure, the ignition key should
be turned to the STOPposition and the
operations must be repeated from the s-
tart (point 1).
1) Read the 5-figure electronic code on
the CODE card.
2) Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position.
3) Fully depress the accelerator pedal
and keep it pressed. The EOBD/fuel sup-
ply-ignition system failure warning light
will come on for eight seconds ap-
proximately and will then go out; now re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
4) The warning light begins to
flash: after it has flashed for the same
number of times as the first digit on the
code of the card, press completely and
hold down the accelerator pedal until the
warning light comes on (for 4 sec-
onds) and then goes out again; now re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
5) The warning light will begin to
flash: after it has flashed for the same
number of times as the second digit on
the code of the CODE card, press com-
pletely and hold down the accelerator
pedal.

6) Repeat this procedure in the same
way for the other digits on the CODE card
code.
7) After entering the last figure, keep
the accelerator pedal pressed. The warn-
ing light turns on (for four seconds)
and then goes off; now release the accel-
erator pedal.
8) A quick flash of the warning light
(for appr. 4 seconds) confirms that
the operation has taken place correctly.
9) Start the car turning the ignition key
from the MARposition to the AVV po-
sition without returning the key to the
STOPposition.
Conversely, if the warning light
stays on, turn the ignition key to STOP
and repeat the procedure starting from
point 1).
IMPORTANTAfter emergency start-
ing it is advisable to turn to an Alfa
Romeo Authorized Service, because the
procedure described must be repeated
each time the engine is started.

–From inside: with the doors closed,
press the button (A-fig. 20) on the
centre console or one of the knobs
(B-fig. 19) on the front doors to en-
gage (lock) central locking.
By pressing the knob (A-fig. 21) on
one of the rear doors only that particular
door will be locked.
To unlock central locking press the button
again (A-fig. 20).
IMPORTANT For the front doors it is
not possible to keep the knob (B-
fig. 19) down if the door has not been
shut properly.
IMPORTANT If the power supply is
interrupted (burnt fuse, battery discon-
nected etc.) each door can be opened
manually from both inside and outside
the vehicle.
IMPORTANT The centralized locking
system can be deactivated, thus unlock-
ing all doors, by lifting the door opening
lever on one of the two front doors.CHILD SAFETY LOCK (fig. 22)
The rear doors are equipped with a spe-
cial device which prevents the door being
opened from inside.
The device can be engaged when the
door is open by acting on the relative con-
trol using the ignition key.
Position1= Device inactive
Position2= Device engaged.
This device should be used when chil-
dren are in the back seat to prevent them
from opening the door whilst the car is
moving.IMPORTANT Do not overlook child
safety; the following recommendations
should be heeded:
– Engage the child safety device.
– Do not leave a child alone in the vehi-
cle.
– Follow the current laws regarding
child restraint and safety systems.
After activating the safety
device check that it is
working correctly by pulling on the
inner lever used to open the door.

Resetting the speed memorised
The memorised speed is automatically
reset:
– turning off the engine;
or
– moving the switch (A) to the OFF
position.
When travelling with the
cruise control engaged,
never move the gearshift lever to
neutral and do not move the au-
tomatic gearshift lever to N.
You are advised to engage the
cruise control only when the traf-
fic and road conditions permit un-
der completely safe conditions, i.e.:
straight, dry road, dual carriage-
way or motorway, flowing traffic
and smooth tarmac. Do not engage
the device in town or in heavy traf-
fic conditions.
WARNING
The Cruise Control can
only be engaged with
speed over 30 km/h and, just for
certain versions up to 180 km/h.
The device must only be engaged
in 4
th, 5thor 6thgear, depending on
the vehicle speed. On cars with
electronic automatic gearbox it
must be engaged only with the
lever at position D in the automatic
mode without then moving the
gearshift lever by hand or with 3
nd
or 4thgear engaged inthe sequen-
tial manual mode.
Moving downhill with the device
engaged, the car speed might be
slightly higher than the speed
memorised due to the change in en-
gine load.
WARNING
Should the device not be
working properly or fail
to operate, move the switch (A-fig.
78) to the OFF Position and contact
Authorized Alfa Romeo Services
after checking that the protection
fuse is intact.
The switch (A-fig. 78) may be left
constantly at ON without damag-
ing the device. You are however
advised to deactivate the device
when not in use, moving the switch
(A) to OFF, to avoid accidentally
memorising the speed.
WARNING

LLeft-hand direction
indicator (intermittent)
This warning light comes on when the
control lever is moved downwards or, to-
gether with the right-hand warning light,
when the hazard warning lights are
switched on. R
Sidelights
This warning light comes on when the
sidelights are switched on.3
Right-hand direction
indicator (intermittent)
This warning light comes on when the
control lever is moved upwards or, togeth-
er with the left-hand warning light, when
the hazard warning lights are switched
on.E
Lights failure
The warning light stays on for about
15 seconds, after the check, when a fail-
ure is detected on one of the following
lights:
– low beam headlights
– high beam headlights
– flashing (only gas discharge headlights)
– side/taillights
– direction indicators
– brake lights (stop lights)
– third stop light
– rear fog guards
– number plate lights.
The warning of a fault may mean one
or more blown bulb, a burnt fuse or cut
off connection.
Turning the key to MARthe warning
light turns on, but it should go out after
about 5 seconds.The turning on of only
the
>warning light with
the engine running normally indi-
cates a fault to the ABS system
only. In this case the braking sys-
tem is still efficient, though with-
out the aid of the anti-lock device.
Under these conditions perfor-
mance of the EBD system may be
reduced. in this case too, you are
advised to go immediately to the
nearest Authorized Alfa Romeo
workshop, driving in such a way
as to avoid sharp braking, to have
the system checked over.

fig. 23 IMPORTANTThe headlight inner sur-
face might be slightly misted: this should
not be considered irregular but a natural
phenomenon due to low temperature and
the air humidity level. Misting will disap-
pear as soon as the headlights are turned
on. Drops inside the headlight mean wa-
ter infiltration: contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rized Services.
