1ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❍illegal opening of doors/bonnet/luggage compartment
(perimeter protection);
❍illegal operation of ignition system (ignition key rotated to
MAR);
❍when the battery cables are cut;
❍when someone is moving inside the passenger compartment
(volume-sensing protection);
❍anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The tripping of the alarm is indicated by a sound and a visual dis-
play (flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The
alarm triggering methods may vary according to the market. There
is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal operation.
IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor function is guaranteed by the
Alfa Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when the ig-
nition key is extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT the alarm is configured to comply with the regulations
existing in different countries.
ACTIVATING THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned
to STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control to-
wards the vehicle and press button
Á. Except on some versions
for specific markets, the system produces a visual and acoustic
warning and enables door locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-diagnosis test is run. in the event
of a fault, the system emits a further acoustic and/or visual warn-
ing via the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is activated, a second acoustic warning is emit-
ted and/or the LED on the dashboard flashes, wait about 4 sec-
onds and then deactivate the alarm by pressing
Ë, check that
the doors, bonnet and luggage compartment are closed correctly
and then reactivate the system by pressing
Á.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bon-
net and boot are correctly closed, a failure has occurred in sys-
tem operation. Contact an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service.
