2007 Alfa Romeo 166 fuse box

21
IMPORTANTIn the case of fast start-
ing, turning the key directly from STOP
toAV V, the recognition code might not
be transmitted completely, preventing the
engine from starting: try again more
slowly.
IMPORTANTThe system is protected
by two fuses housed in the main fusebox
(see “If a fuse or relay blows” in the
chapter “In an emergency”).
EMERGENCY STARTING
If it is not possible to deactivate the en-
gine inhibitor with the ignition key, Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services can carry out
the emergency procedures using the code
of the CODE card, or, you may do this
yourself, following the procedure de-
scribed below.
IMPORTANTYou are advised to care-
fully read the entire procedure before car-
rying it out.If a mistake is made during the emer-
gency procedure, the ignition key should
be turned to the STOPposition and the
operations must be repeated from the s-
tart (point 1).
1) Read the 5-figure electronic code on
the CODE card.
2) Turn the ignition key to the MAR
position.
3) Fully depress the accelerator pedal
and keep it pressed. The EOBD/fuel sup-
ply-ignition system failure warning light
will come on for eight seconds ap-
proximately and will then go out; now re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
4) The warning light begins to
flash: after it has flashed for the same
number of times as the first digit on the
code of the card, press completely and
hold down the accelerator pedal until the
warning light comes on (for 4 sec-
onds) and then goes out again; now re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
5) The warning light will begin to
flash: after it has flashed for the same
number of times as the second digit on
the code of the CODE card, press com-
pletely and hold down the accelerator
pedal.

6) Repeat this procedure in the same
way for the other digits on the CODE card
code.
7) After entering the last figure, keep
the accelerator pedal pressed. The warn-
ing light turns on (for four seconds)
and then goes off; now release the accel-
erator pedal.
8) A quick flash of the warning light
(for appr. 4 seconds) confirms that
the operation has taken place correctly.
9) Start the car turning the ignition key
from the MARposition to the AVV po-
sition without returning the key to the
STOPposition.
Conversely, if the warning light
stays on, turn the ignition key to STOP
and repeat the procedure starting from
point 1).
IMPORTANTAfter emergency start-
ing it is advisable to turn to an Alfa
Romeo Authorized Service, because the
procedure described must be repeated
each time the engine is started.

Resetting the speed memorised
The memorised speed is automatically
reset:
– turning off the engine;
or
– moving the switch (A) to the OFF
position.
When travelling with the
cruise control engaged,
never move the gearshift lever to
neutral and do not move the au-
tomatic gearshift lever to N.
You are advised to engage the
cruise control only when the traf-
fic and road conditions permit un-
der completely safe conditions, i.e.:
straight, dry road, dual carriage-
way or motorway, flowing traffic
and smooth tarmac. Do not engage
the device in town or in heavy traf-
fic conditions.
WARNING
The Cruise Control can
only be engaged with
speed over 30 km/h and, just for
certain versions up to 180 km/h.
The device must only be engaged
in 4
th, 5thor 6thgear, depending on
the vehicle speed. On cars with
electronic automatic gearbox it
must be engaged only with the
lever at position D in the automatic
mode without then moving the
gearshift lever by hand or with 3
nd
or 4thgear engaged inthe sequen-
tial manual mode.
Moving downhill with the device
engaged, the car speed might be
slightly higher than the speed
memorised due to the change in en-
gine load.
WARNING
Should the device not be
working properly or fail
to operate, move the switch (A-fig.
78) to the OFF Position and contact
Authorized Alfa Romeo Services
after checking that the protection
fuse is intact.
The switch (A-fig. 78) may be left
constantly at ON without damag-
ing the device. You are however
advised to deactivate the device
when not in use, moving the switch
(A) to OFF, to avoid accidentally
memorising the speed.
