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 (key turned to MAR);
❒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 and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned to
STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control towards the
car, then 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
boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system operation:
in this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
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. 20 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.
