off.DISABLING THE ALARM
To completely deactivate the alarm (e.g.
during a lengthy period of car
inactivity), close the doors by turning
the metal insert of the key with remote

MAR-ON.
IGNITION DEVICEThe key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 11:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be

❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.

WARNING
2) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
3) When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to prevent
someone from accidentally
activating the controls.
Remember to engage the
handbrake. Engage 1
stgear if the
car is parked uphill or reverse if
the car is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
car.4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could badly affect
performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance
of the car with approval
requirements.
5) Never remove the key while the
car is moving. The steering wheel
will lock as soon as it is turned.

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) which starts when the
RESET procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be 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 light
may
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 the
message "RESET SAVED", indicating
that the "self-learning" has started.
