SYMBOLS
Some components of the car have coloured labels whose sym-
bols indicate precautions to be observed when using this compo-
nent. Under the bonnet there is also a label that summarises all
the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which increases pro-
tection against attempted thefts of the car. It is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the sig-
nal emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition de-
vice. This signal is the ‘password’ which changes at each ignition
and which the control unit uses to recognise the key and enable
ignition.
OPERATION
The Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowl-
edgement code to the engine management control unit to deacti-
vate the inhibitor each time the car is started by turning the igni-
tion key to MAR.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management
control unit. Warning light
Ylights up on the instrument panel
if the code is not correctly recognised during ignition.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still
locked, try again with the other keys that come with the car. If you
are still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.

ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
OPERATION OF THE ALARM
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❍unauthorised opening of doors/bonnet/boot (perimeter pro-
tection);
❍unauthorised operation of ignition system (ignition key rotat-
ed to MAR);
❍the battery cables cutting;
❍when someone is moving inside the passenger compartment
(volumetric protection);
❍anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and visual sig-
nal (flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The
alarm triggering modes may vary according to the markets. There
is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal operation.
IMPORTANT The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition
key is extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is configured to comply with the regulations
existing in different countries.
SWITCHING ON 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 car, then press and release
Ábutton. Except specific
markets, the system produces a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the turning on of the alarm: In case
of faults the system will generate a further acoustic and/or visu-
al signal using the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emit-
ted and/or the LED on the dashboard flashes, wait about 4 sec-
onds and switch off the alarm by pressing
Ëbutton, check that the
doors, bonnet and boot are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing
Ábutton.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bon-
net and boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated using the remote control, once
about 30 seconds have elapsed from when the ignition key was
turned to STOP and a door or the tailgate was last opened and
then closed, the alarm activates automatically. This is indicated
by the LED on the button A-fig. 20 lighting up intermittently and
the indications of activation described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
Ëbutton on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the doors are closed by turning
the metal insert of the key in the driver side door latch. If the sys-
tem self-activates, the doors are not locked.
