eration.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors and
decklid for unauthorized entry and the ignition for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will prevent the vehicle from
starting. It will also emit an acoustic signal and flash the
park lights, and taillights.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases: 1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid
(perimeter protection);
2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned to MAR ON/RUN);
3. Cutting of the battery leads;
4. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and
visual signal (flashing of the direction indicators for
several seconds). The alarm activation modes may vary
according to the market. There is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the system
returns to normal operation.
NOTE:
• The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when
the key is extracted from the ignition switch.

•The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various
countries.
To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP (OFF/LOCK) or removed, point
the key towards the vehicle then push and release the
lock button.
The system emits a visual signal and activates door
locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds
precedes the activation of the alarm. During the self-
diagnosis, the vehicle security light flashes in the instru-
ment panel at a frequency of about one flash per second.
After the self-diagnosis stage, the vehicle security light
flashes at a lower frequency (approximately one flash
every three seconds). If, after the alarm is switched on, a second visual signal
emit via the vehicle security light in the instrument panel,
wait about four seconds and switch off the alarm by
pushing the lock button, check that the doors and decklid
are closed correctly and then reactivate the system by
pushing the unlock button.
If the alarm emits a visual signal even when the doors
and decklid are closed correctly, a system malfunction
has occurred: in this case, contact a authorized vehicle
Dealership.
To Disarm The System
Deactivation
Push the unlock button.
The following operations are performed:
•
Two brief flashes of the direction indicators.
• Unlocking of the doors.

NOTE:
•If the central door locking system is released using the
metal insert of the key, the alarm is not disabled.
• In the event of accidental activation of the alarm, or in
any case to interrupt the visual signal cycle when
activated, it is possible to push the unlock button or
turn the ignition key to MAR (ON/RUN) for at least
five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.
Disarming
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy
period of vehicle inactivity), lock the vehicle by turning
the metal insert of the key in the door lock.
NOTE: If the batteries of the key fob run out or there is a
fault in the system, the alarm can be switched off by
inserting the key in the ignition switch and turning it to
MAR (ON/RUN).ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The interior lights will turn on whenever a door is
opened and the dimmer switch is not in the defeat
position.
The interior lights will turn on, remain on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds, and then fade to off if a door is
opened using the outside door handle and then closed or
a door is unlocked using the vehicles key.
The interior lights will turn on and remain on for about
four seconds and then fade to off if a door is opened
using the inside door handle.
NOTE: The interior light is located in the headliner in
between the sun visors. The interior light can be set to
three different positions (Off/Left Position, Center Posi-
tion, On/Right Position).

Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should
have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all colli-
sions, and also are needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the inflator units. A large
quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right
side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the
way as the air bags inflate to their full size. The Advanced
Front Air Bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front passenger.Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front occu-
pants for improved interaction with the Advanced Front
Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver
Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the
steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
