TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip Computer displays information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR. This function is composed by separate
trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B” which can monitor the entire mis-
sion (journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both trips can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Autonomy
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time). With the function “Trip B” is possible to display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Journey time B (driving time).
“Trip B” may be turned off (see “Trip B on” paragraph). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be reset.

Values displayed
Autonomy
This indicates the approximate distance which can be travelled with
the present amount of fuel in the tank.
The display will show the reading “- - - -“ when the following events
take place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for a long time.
IMPORTANT The autonomy value variation can be affected by sev-
eral factors: driving style, type of route (motorway, towns and
cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Take these factors into account when planning a trip.
Distance travelled
This shows the distance covered from the start of the new journey.
Average consumption
This value is the approximate average fuel consumption from the
start of the new journey.
Current consumption
This indicates fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated.
The message “- - - -” will appear on the display if the car is parked
with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the average speed based on the overall time elapsed
since the start of the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.

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.

Warning light Ycomes on when driving
❍If the warning light Yturns on, this means that the system
is running a self-test (due for example to a voltage drop).
❍Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services if the Ywarning light
stays on.
KEYS
CODE CARD (for versions/markets, where provided)
A CODE card fig.14 is provided together with the keys. On the card
you will find a mechanical code A and an electronic code B. Keep
the codes in a safe place, not in the car.
The Electronic components inside the key may be
damaged if the key is subjected to shocks.
