ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm activates in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door/bonnet/
luggage compartment (perimeter
protection);
❒wrongful operation of the ignition
switch (ignition key turned to
MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery cables;
❒movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the car (for
versions/markets, where provided).
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 ignition key is
extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
SWITCHING ON THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate
closed and the ignition key either
turned to STOP or removed, point the
key with remote control towards the car
and press and release the
button.
Except for specific markets, the system
emits a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage precedes the
switching on of the alarm: in the event
of faults, the system will generate a
further acoustic and/or visual signal
through the LED on the dashboard.
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,
bonnet and luggage compartment are
closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing the
button.If the alarm emits an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and
luggage compartment are correctly
closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
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. 10 lighting up intermittently
and the indications of activation
described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
button on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the
doors are closed by turning the metal

chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell diffusers. This air
distribution setting heats the
passenger compartment most
quickly, giving a prompt sensation
of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting
diffusers. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to warm up
efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.
Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/
defrosting diffusers and side
and central dashboard vents.
This allows air to be sent to
the windscreen in conditions of
strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all
vents on the car.
