SYMBOLS
Some car components have coloured
labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using
this component. Under the bonnet
there is also a label that summarises all
the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the car. It
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
There is an electronic device in each
key which can identify the signal
emitted, when the engine is started,
from an aerial built into the ignition
switch. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started, is the
“password” by means of which the
control unit recognises the key and
enables starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Alfa
Romeo CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to
the engine management control unit 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 engine
management control unit.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
warning
light (on some versions a message
together with a symbol is shown on the
display) switches on in the instrument
panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come
with the car. If it is still not possible to
start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Activation of warning
light while driving
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) switches on, this means
that the system is running self-
diagnosis (caused, for example, by a
voltage drop).
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) stays on, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm activates in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door/bonnet/
luggage compartment (perimeter
protection);
❒wrongful operation of the ignition
switch (ignition key turned to
MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery cables;
❒movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the car (for
versions/markets, where provided).
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.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 adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
SWITCHING ON THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate
closed and the ignition key either
turned to STOP or removed, point the
key with remote control towards the car
and press and release the
button.
Except for specific markets, the system
emits a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage precedes the
switching on of the alarm: in the event
of faults, the system will generate a
further acoustic and/or visual signal
through the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a
second acoustic signal is emitted
and/or a visual signal via the LED on
the dashboard, wait about 4 seconds
and switch off the alarm by pressing the
button, check that the doors,
bonnet and luggage compartment are
closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing the
button.If the alarm emits an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and
luggage compartment are correctly
closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated
using the remote control, once about
30 seconds have elapsed from when
the ignition key was turned to STOP
and a door or the tailgate was last
opened and then closed, the alarm
activates automatically.
This is indicated by the LED on the
button A fig. 10 lighting up intermittently
and the indications of activation
described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
button on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the
doors are closed by turning the metal
insert of the key in the driver side door
latch. If the system self-activates, the
doors are not locked.

WARNING
24) A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious
injuries to passengers in the event
of an accident.
25) If you are travelling in an area
with limited opportunities for
refuelling and you wish to bring
petrol with you in a petrol can, you
must do so in compliance with
current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately
secured to the load securing
attachments. However, the risks
of fire in case of collision increase
anyway.
BONNET
OPENING
Proceed as follows:
❒pull lever A fig. 71 in the direction
indicated by the arrow;
❒operate lever B, in the direction
indicated by the arrow, and raise the
bonnet.
IMPORTANT Two side gas shock
absorbers are provided to assist in
opening the bonnet. Do not tamper
with the shock absorber and
accompany the bonnet while lifting it.
IMPORTANT Before raising the bonnet,
make sure that the arms of the wipers
are not raised from the windscreen and
that the wiper is not operational.CLOSING
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine
compartment then let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely
closed and not only fastened by the
locking device by trying to open it. If it is
not perfectly closed, do not try to
press the bonnet down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
26) 27)
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the car is travelling.
The following plate is applied inside
the engine compartment fig. 72:

WARNING
48) When replacing the battery,
always contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should
have the same characteristics.
49) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the engine is off
and that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the dedicated
label on the front crossmember
(fig. 85). We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the car.
The car should always be left after
the key has been removed or
turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the
ignition key is in the STOP
position).
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is anyway
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS system needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
RESET procedure is carried out.❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning lightmay
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at
MAR-ON, press the button
fig. 86 on
the dashboard for 2 seconds; after
the RESET, the display shows a
dedicated message, indicating that the
"self-learning" has started.
