NOTE:A key which has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the
ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.
If the Vehicle Security Light is on after the key is turned
to the ON/RUN position, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics.
CAUTION!
•Always remove the Sentry Key® from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors and
decklid for unauthorized entry and the ignition for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will prevent the vehicle from
starting. It will also emit an acoustic signal and flash the
park lights, and taillights.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:
1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid
(perimeter protection);2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned
to MAR-ON);
3. Cutting of the battery leads;
4. Movement inside the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection);
5. 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.

NOTE:
•The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when
the key is extracted from the ignition switch.
•The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various
countries.
To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key towards
the vehicle then push and release the lock button.
The system emits an acoustic and visual signal and
activates door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds
precedes the activation of the alarm. During the self-
diagnosis, the vehicle security light flashes in the instru-
ment panel at a frequency of about one flash per second.After the self-diagnosis stage, the vehicle security light
flashes at a lower frequency (approximately one flash
every three seconds).
If, after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal
is emitted and/or a visual signal via the vehicle security
light in the instrument panel, wait about four seconds
and switch off the alarm by pushing the lock button,
check that the doors and decklid are closed correctly and
then reactivate the system by pushing the unlock button.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the doors
and decklid are closed correctly, a system malfunction
has occurred: in this case, contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

If a perimeter violation triggers the security system, the
siren will sound for 30 seconds and the exterior lights
will flash followed by approximately five seconds of no
activity. This will continue for eight cycles if no action is
taken to disarm the system.
The alarm takes approximately 20 seconds to arm once
the doors are locked with the key fob and once armed,
the LED indicator on the dash will blink whenever the
system is armed. If motion is detected during the arming
period, the motion detection system is disabled.
To ensure the correct operation of the protection, com-
pletely close the side windows. If a perimeter violation
triggers the security system, the siren will sound and the
exterior lights will flash.
To disable the volumetric protection, turn the ignition
key from STOP to MAR-ON twice in a row, then activate
the alarm within 15 seconds, pushing the lock button onthe remote control. When the function is deactivated, this
is indicated by the vehicle security light in the instrument
panel flashing for several seconds.
To disable the anti-lift protection, the ignition key must
be turned from STOP to MAR-ON three times in a row,
followed by activating the alarm within 15 seconds,
pushing the lock button on the remote control.
When the function is deactivated, this is indicated by the
vehicle security light in the instrument panel flashing for
several seconds.
Any disabling of the volumetric/anti-lift protection must
be repeated each time the instrument panel is switched
off.

ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The interior lights will turn on whenever a door is
opened and the dimmer switch is not in the defeat
position.
The interior lights will turn on, remain on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds, and then fade to off if a door is
opened using the outside door handle and then closed or
a door is unlocked using the vehicles key.
The interior lights will turn on and remain on for about
four seconds and then fade to off if a door is opened
using the inside door handle.
NOTE:None of the courtesy lights will operate if the
dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extreme
downward position), unless the overhead map/reading
lights are turned on manually.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) — IF
EQUIPPED
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
decklid from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a hand-held Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter. The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at
the vehicle to activate the system.2

transmitter to unlock the doors. The park lights and turn
signal lights will flash to acknowledge the signal and the
illuminated entry system will turn on.

instrument panel when one or both doors are unlocked.
To Lock The Doors
Push and release the LOCK button on the RKE transmit-
ter: locking of doors, switching off of internal roof light
and single flashing of direction indicators.
If one or more door are open, the doors will not be

Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they
can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some
of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown
from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should
be belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
The Belt Alert feature is active whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. In this
condition if the driver is unbelted, a continuous chime
signal will start for few seconds and the Seat Belt
Reminder Light
will turn on until the driver seat belt
is buckled.
If the driver seat belt is unbuckled once the vehicle speed
is over 12.5 mph (20 km/h) or when travelling at a speed
from 6 to 12.5 mph (10 to 20 km/h) for few seconds, theBeltAlert® warning sequence begins by blinking the Seat
Belt Reminder Light
and sounding an intermittent
chime. Once the sequence starts, it will continue for
the entire duration or until the driver ’s seat belt is
buckled. After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light
remains illuminated until the driv-
er ’s seat belt is buckled. The driver should instruct all
other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
It is recommended that pets be restrained in the rear seat
(if equipped) in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are
secured by seat belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by your autho-
rized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert.
34 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:If BeltAlert has been deactivated, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light
will continue to illuminate while the
driver ’s seat belt remains unbuckled and a continuous
chime will sound when the ignition switch is first
placed in the START or ON/RUN position.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with
lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during very
sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoul-
der part of the seat belt to move freely with you under
normal conditions. However, in a collision the seat belt
will lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of the
vehicle or being thrown out of the vehicle.
This seat belt system has a retractor assembly that is
designed to release webbing in a controlled manner. Thisfeature is designed to help reduce the seat belt force
acting on the occupant’s chest.
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belt even though you have
air bags.
•In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer
much greater injuries if you are not properly buck-
led up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or
other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the
vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
