NOTE:
•
The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa Romeo CODE, which is automatically
activated when the key is extracted from the ignition switch.
•
The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various countries.
To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed, point the key towards the vehicle then push and release the
lock
button.
The system emits a visual signal and activates door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds precedes the activation of the alarm.
During the self-diagnosis, the vehicle security light flashes in the instrument panel at a frequency
of about one flash per second.
After the self-diagnosis stage, the vehicle security light flashes at a lower frequency (approximately
one flash every three seconds).
If, after the alarm is activated, a second visual signal (vehicle security light in the instrument panel) is
emitted, wait about four seconds and deactivate the alarm by pushing the
unlock
button, check that the
doors and decklid are closed correctly and then reactivate the system by pushing the
lock
button.
If the alarm emits a visual signal even when the doors and decklid are closed correctly, a system
malfunction has occurred: in this case, contact an authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Deactivation
Push the
unlock
button.
The following operations are performed:
•
Two brief flashes of the turn signal indicators.
•
Unlocking of the doors.
NOTE:
•
If the central door locking system is unlocked using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not
disabled.
•
In the event of accidental activation of the alarm, or in any case to interrupt the visual signal
cycle when activated, it is possible to push the
unlock
button or turn the ignition key to MAR
(ON/RUN) for at least five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.
Disarming
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy period of car inactivity), lock the car by
turning the metal insert of the key in the door lock.
NOTE:
If the batteries of the key fob discharge or there is a fault in the system, the alarm can be
switched off by inserting the key in the ignition switch and turning it to MAR (ON/RUN).
