ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
OPERATION OF THE ALARM
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❍unauthorised opening of doors/bonnet/boot (perimeter pro-
tection);
❍unauthorised operation of ignition system (ignition key rotat-
ed to MAR);
❍the battery cables cutting;
❍when someone is moving inside the passenger compartment
(volumetric protection);
❍anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and visual sig-
nal (flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The
alarm triggering modes may vary according to the markets. There
is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal operation.
IMPORTANT The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition
key is extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is configured to comply with the regulations
existing in different countries.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned
to STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control to-
wards the car, then press and release
Ábutton. Except specific
markets, the system produces a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the turning on of the alarm: In case
of faults the system will generate a further acoustic and/or visu-
al signal using the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emit-
ted and/or the LED on the dashboard flashes, wait about 4 sec-
onds and switch off the alarm by pressing
Ëbutton, check that the
doors, bonnet and boot are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing
Ábutton.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bon-
net and boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
