ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM
The Alfa Romeo Code prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle, disabling
engine starting.
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted by the
key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Activation of warning light while
driving
❒ If the Ydigital warning light on the
display switches on, this means that the
system is running a self-diagnosis (for
example due to a voltage drop).
❒ If the Ydigital warning light remains
on, contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
ALARM SYSTEM

cycles. When this is reached the system
returns to normal operation.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted
by the Manufacturer to meet the

STARTING AND DRIVING
74
The car always starts in neutral. When
1st gear is requested, the system forces
the selection of AUTO mode.
IMPORTANT If 10 seconds elapse with
the ignition key in the MAR position and
the display does not show the gear
engaged, turn the key to the STOP
position, wait for the display to go out
and then repeat the manoeuvre.
If the fault persists, contact a dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
For safety reasons, there is a buzzer
warning when parking the car with the
gearbox in neutral (N) (the warning is
heard when the ignition key is turned to
the STOP position).
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
started and (1st) or (R) engaged, the
system activates the buzzer and
automatically put the gearbox in neutral
(N) when:
❒ the accelerator and/or the brake
pedal are not operated for at least 3
minutes;
❒ the brake pedal is pressed for longer
than 10 minutes;❒ the driver’s door is opened and the
accelerator pedal or the brake pedal are
not operated for at least 1.5 seconds;
❒ a fault is detected in the gearbox.
PARKING THE CAR
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
❒ engage the gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is facing uphill or
reverse if it is facing downhill) and leave
the wheels steered;
❒ stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
Wait until the indication of the gear
engaged disappears on the display
before releasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT: NEVER leave the car with
the transmission in neutral.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ With car stationary and gear engaged,
always keep the brake pedal pressed
until you decide to set off, then release
the brake and accelerate gradually.
❒ During prolonged stops with the
engine running, it is advisable to keep the
gearbox in neutral (N).❒ In order to safeguard the efficiency of
the clutch, do not use the accelerator to
keep the car stationary (e.g. when
stopped on an incline). Clutch overheating
could damage it:
use the brake pedal instead or the
handbrake and only press the accelerator
pedal when you wish to set off.
❒ If, with reverse gear (R) engaged, you
have to engage 1st gear or vice versa,
only do this when the car is completely
stationary and with the brake pedal
pressed.
❒ Although it is strongly discouraged, if
you are going downhill and for unknown
reasons you let the car move forward
with the gearbox in neutral (N), when
there is a request to engage a gear the
system will automatically engage the
best gear in relation to the speed of the
actual to allow the correct transmission
of the drive torque to the wheels;.
