3 flashes: right rear door
4 flashes: left rear door
5 flashes: volumetric sensors
6 flashes: bonnet
7 flashes: boot
8 flashes: tampering with car starting
cables
9 flashes: tampering with battery cables
or cutting emergency key cables
10 flashes: at least three causes of alarm.WHEN THE ALARM IS
TRIGGERED
When the alarm is engaged it will sound
when:
– One of the doors, the bonnet or the
boot is opened.
– The battery is disconnected or the
electric cables are cut, or the emergency
key cables are cut.
– Intrusion into the passenger compart-
ment, e.g. window being broken (volu-
metric protection).
– Attempt to start the engine (key at
MAR).
Depending on the markets, the trigger-
ing of the alarm will activate the siren
and the hazard warning lights (for about
26 seconds). The methods of operation
and the number of cycles may vary de-
pending on the versions/markets. How-
ever a maximum number of cycles is fore-
seen. Once the alarm cycle has come to
an end the system will return to its nor-
mal monitoring state.
SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM
To switch off the alarm, press the re-
mote control button on the key. If the
alarm does not turn off due to a flat re-
mote control battery or system fault,
open the door after unlocking with the
lock key, then place the key in the igni-
tion switch and turn it to MAR.
To turn on the alarm again, turn the key
toSTOPand remove it, then press the
remote control button after leaving the
car and shutting the doors. If the alarm
does not turn on and the led on the re-
mote control gives only one brief flash
while the led on the dashboard stays on
glowing steadily for about 2 minutes, the
key battery should be replaced by a new
one of the equivalent type on sale c/o
normal retailers. To change the battery
follow the instructions given at paragraph
“Key battery change” on previous pages.
If it is not possible to switch on the
alarm with a new remote control battery,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services
to have the system checked.

MINISTERIAL
HOMOLOGATIONS
In keeping with the laws in force in
each country on the subject of radio fre-
quency, we point out that:
– the separate homologation numbers
for each market are given on the last
pages of this handbook before the alpha-
betical index (for some countries also ho-
mologation document);
– for markets in which the transmitter
needs to be marked with the homologa-
tion number, this has been stated on the
component.
(Depending on the versions/markets,
the code may also be marked on the
transmitter and/or on the receiver).
REMOTE CONTROL
DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
The system comprises a receiver and a
transmitter (remote control) incorporated
in the key (B-fig. 14). To lock/unlock
the locks, point the transmitter towards
the car, press and release the button
(C). If, when pressing the remote control
push-button (C), the led (A) (where re-
quired) issues just a short flash, replace
the batteries as described in the “The Al-
fa Romeo CODE system” paragraph.
IMPORTANT Should it be necessary
to programme additional remote controls,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
IGNITION DEVICE
THE SWITCH (fig. 15)
The switch has four positions:
–STOP: engine switched off, key can
be removed, engine lock engaged, steer-
ing lock engaged, all services excluded a-
part from those powered directly (e.g.
hazard warning light I.C.S. system (ex-
cept climate control).
–ACC: position for using the cigar
lighter and of the I.C.S. system (except
climate control).
–MAR: drive position. The engine
lock is deactivated and all electrical de-
vices are powered.

this position when the engine is station-
ary.
–AV V: starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If the engine does not
start return the ignition key to the STOP
position and repeat the sequence.
The ignition block is fitted with a safety
device preventing it from being moved to
theAVV position when the engine is al-
ready running.If the ignition device is
tampered with (for ex-
ample during an at-
tempted break-in) have it checked
over by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services, before travelling again.
STEERING LOCK
Engaging lock:
– move the key to the STOPposition
and remove the key lightly turning the
steering wheel to facilitate the locking ac-
tion.
Releasing the lock:
– turn the key to the MARposition
and gently rock the steering wheel in
both directions.

with the car on the
move. The steering wheel would
lock automatically the first time
the steering wheel is turned. This
also occurs if the car is towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft Device) that could badly
affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and
also result in non-compliance of the
car with homologation require-
ments.

size of the mirror causes difficulty in nar-
row paces) the door mirror can be folded
in towards the vehicle from position (A-
fig. 42) to position (B).
For some versions/markets the mirrors
can be folded electrically using a button
(C-fig. 41).Defrosting/demisting(fig. 43)
The electric mirrors can be fitted with
heating coils which are operated together
with rearscreen heating pressing button

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more warning for children.
According to 2003/20/EC Directive,
this prescription is compulsory for all Euro-
pean Community countries.
Compared with adults, their head is pro-
portionally larger and heavier than the
rest of the body, while the muscles and
bone structure are not completely devel-
oped. Therefore, correct restraint systems
are necessary, other then adult seat belts.

SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child’s seats on the
front passenger seat of cars fitted with passenger air bag
since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal. You
are advised to carry children always on the rear seat, as this is the most
protected position in the case of a crash. In any case, children's seats must
absolutely not be fitted on the front seat of car’s with passenger’s air bag,
which during inflation could cause serious injury, even mortal, regardless
of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it.
Children may be placed on the front seat of cars fitted with passenger’s
air bag deactivation. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to check the
warning light
Fon the cluster to make sure that deactivation has ac-
tually taken place (see paragraph “Front and side air bags” at item “Pas-
senger’s front air bag”). The front passenger seat shall be adjusted in the
most backward position to prevent any contact between child’s seat and
dashboard.
AIRBAGWARNING

48
Below is a summary of the
rules of safety to be followed
for carrying children:
1)The recommended position for in-
stalling children’s seat is on the rear seat,
as it is the most protected in the case of
a crash.2)If the passenger’s air bag is deacti-
vated always check the warning light
Fon the cluster to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
3)Attain to the instructions for fasten-
ing the specific child restraint system
which you are using. These instructions
must be provided by the manufacturer.
Keep the child restraint system installa-
tion instructions with the car documents
and this Handbook. Never use a child re-
straint system without installation instruc-
tions.
4)Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
5)Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
6)Always check the seat belts do not
fit around the child’s throat.
7)While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8)Passengers should never carry chil-
dren on their laps. No-one, however
strong they are, can hold a child in the
event of a crash.
9)In case of an accident, replace the
seat with a new one.
In cars fitted with pas-
senger air bag never
place child’s restraint systems on
the front seat since children shall
never be seated on the front pas-
senger seat.
WARNING
Illustration is indicative
for assembly only. As-
semble the seat according to the
compulsory instructions provided
with it. Child’s seat shall not be
assembled on the rear central seat.
