SAFE LOCK DEVICE(where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of the interior door handles and the door
locking/unlocking button. We recommend
that you activate this device each time
you park your car.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by
pressing the button
on the key twice
quickly. Device activation is indicated by
3 flashes of the direction indicators and a
flash of the LED on the button
on the
dashboard. The device does not come on
if one or more doors is not properly shut.
Deactivating the device
The device disengages automatically:
the key insert is turned to opening
position in the driver side door;
by pressing the buttonon the key;
by turning the ignition key to the MAR
position.
IMPORTANT Once the safe lock system
is engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the car. Therefore,
before getting out of the car check that
there is no one left on board. If the
remote control battery is flat, the device
can only be deactivated by using the
metal insert in one of the door locks.
WARNING
1)Press button 2 only with the key away
from your body, especially your eyes and
from objects which could get damaged (e.g.
your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
handled, e.g. by a child.
IMPORTANT
1)Used batteries may be harmful to the
environment if not disposed of correctly.
They must be disposed of as specified by law
in the special containers or taken to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership, which will take care of
their disposal.
IGNITION DEVICE
2) 3)
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 6:
STOP: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove the key

“VELOCE” versions: remove cap 1 by
pressing on the upper part, take tow hook
2 from its housing in the tool support and
screw it in fully on the threaded pin.
WARNING
127)For versions with key without remote
control, before towing, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP without removing
it. The steering column will automatically
lock when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission, check that the
gear lever is in N position). For versions with
electronic key, move the ignition device to
MAR and then to STOP, without opening the
door.128)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, you must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the car. Before tightening the
ring, clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully screwed into
the housing before towing the car.
129)The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transport via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST NOT be
used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing
operations using cables or other non-rigid
devices. In compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take place with the
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same
centre line.
