Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically
on every door in the following cases:
❒when unlocking the doors ;
❒when unlocking only the driver’s
door (where possible);
❒when fitting the electronic key into
the ignition switch. Device activation is signalled by three
flashes of the led on the driver’s door
panel and, only if activated by pressing
the electronic key button

indicators.

ly closed, the safe lock device is not ac-
tivated, thus preventing that a person
getting into the car from the open door
remains blocked inside the passenger’s
compartment when he/she closes the
door.

THE ALARM
Press button Ë. The system will react as

markets):
❒two brief flashes of the direction in-
dicators;
❒two brief “beeps”;
❒door unlocking.
The alarm can be deactivated by fitting
the electronic key into the ignition
switch.
IMPORTANTOn certain versions any
attempt to break in detected by the sys-
tem will be indicated by a warning mes-
sage on the instrument panel display
when fitting the electronic key into the
ignition switch.VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION/

ple if you leave animals on the car) by
pressing button A-fig. 12on the front
ceiling light within 1 minute after in-
strument panel turning off.
When this function is off the button led
will turn on. Volumetric protection/an-
ti-raising sensors cut out shall be re-
peated at each instrument panel turning
off. Surveillance

the led A-fig. 11will flash to indicate
that the system is in the surveillance
mode. The led will flash continuously
while the system is under surveillance.

Self-diagnosis and monitoring
of doors/bonnet/boot
If, after the alarm has been activated, a
second acoustic signal is heard, turn the
system off by pressing button
Ë, check
for proper locking of doors, bonnet and
boot, then turn the system on again by
pressing button
Á.
Otherwise if a door or bonnet/boot lid
is not correctly closed it will not be con-
trolled by the system. If the control sig-
nal is repeated when the doors and bon-
net/boot are closed properly this means
that the self-diagnosis function has de-
tected a system operating fault, in which
case it is necessary to contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
