ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
Operation
The alarm activates in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of one of the doors
or the tailgate (perimeter protection);
❒ wrongful operation of the ignition
switch (key turned to MAR-ON);
❒ cutting of the battery leads;
❒ movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection);
❒ anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by
an acoustic and visual signal (flashing of
the direction indicators for several
seconds). The alarm activation modes
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 locking
function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically
activated when the key is extracted
from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries. Activation
With the doors and tailgate closed and
the ignition key either turned to STOP
or removed, point the key with remote
control towards the car then press
and release the
button.
For versions/markets, where provided,
the system emits an acoustic signal
and activates door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting
approximately 30 seconds precedes
the activation of the alarm: during this,
the LED flashes on the dashboard at
a frequency of about one flash per
second.
After the self-diagnosis stage, the LED
flashes at a lower frequency (one flash
every 3 seconds approx.).
If, after the alarm is switched on, a
second acoustic signal is emitted
and/or a visual signal via the LED on
the dashboard, wait about 4 seconds
and switch off the alarm by pressing the
button, check that the doors and
tailgate are closed correctly and then
reactivate the system by pressing
the
button.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal
even when the doors and tailgate are
closed correctly, a system malfunction
has occurred: in this case, contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.

the ignition key must be turned from
STOP to MAR-ON three times in a row,
followed by activating the alarm within
15 seconds, pressing the
button
on the remote control.
When the function is deactivated, this is
indicated by the LED on the dashboard
flashing for several seconds.

protection must be repeated each
time the instrument panel is switched
off.
IGNITION SWITCHOperation
The key can be turned to three different
