ELECTRONIC ALARM
DESCRIPTION
The system comprises: a transmitter,
receiver, control unit with siren and volu-
metric sensors. The electronic alarm is
controlled by the receiver incorporated in
the instrument cluster and it is turned on
and off by the remote control in the key
which sends the crypted and variable
code. The electronic alarm controls: the
unlawful opening of doors, bonnet and
boot (perimetral protection), operation of
the ignition key, battery cable cutting, the
presence of moving bodies in the passen-
ger compartment (volumetric protection),
any abnormal raising/sloping of the car
(for versions/markets where applicable)
and central door locking. It also makes it
possible to cut off the volumetric protec-
tion.
IMPORTANTThe engine inhibitor
function is guaranteed by the Alfa Romeo
CODE system which is activated automati-
cally when the ignition key is removed.The remote control is incorporated in the
key with buttons (B, C, D-fig. 6) which
activate the corresponding control and
send the code to the receiver. This code
(rolling code) changes at each transmis-
sion.
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
KEYS WITH REMOTE CONTROL
The receiver can recognise up to 5 keys
with incorporated remote control. Should
a new key with remote control be neces-
sary for any reason during the life of the
car, contact directly Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services, taking with you the CODE card,
a personal identity document and the car’s
ownership documents.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut
and the ignition key in the STOPor
PARKposition (key removed), point the
key with the remote control in the direction
of the car, then press and release the but-
ton (C-fig. 6).
With the exception of certain markets,
the system sounds a “beep” and the
doors are locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnostic test indicated by a differ-
ent flashing frequency of the deterrent led
(A-fig. 7) on the dashboard. If a fault is
detected the system sounds a further
warning “beep”.
