Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by
pressing the button
on the key twice
quickly. Device activation is indicated by
3 flashes of the direction indicators and a
flash of the LED on the button
on the
dashboard. The device does not come on
if one or more doors is not properly shut.
Deactivating the device
The device disengages automatically:
the key insert is turned to opening
position in the driver side door;
by pressing the buttonon the key;
by turning the ignition key to the MAR
position.
IMPORTANT Once the safe lock system
is engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the car. Therefore,
before getting out of the car check that
there is no one left on board. If the
remote control battery is flat, the device
can only be deactivated by using the
metal insert in one of the door locks.
WARNING
1)Press button 2 only with the key away
from your body, especially your eyes and
from objects which could get damaged (e.g.
your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
handled, e.g. by a child.
IMPORTANT
1)Used batteries may be harmful to the
environment if not disposed of correctly.
They must be disposed of as specified by law
in the special containers or taken to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership, which will take care of
their disposal.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 4:
STOP: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. radio, central door locking
system, alarm, etc.) are enabled;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

4) 5)
WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by the Alfa Romeo Dealership
before driving again.
3)Always remove the key when you leave
your car to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked
uphill or reverse if the vehicle is parked
downhill. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that
could adversely affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
5)Never remove the key while the car is
moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as well.
ALFA ROMEO CODESYSTEM
The Alfa Romeo Code prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle, disabling
engine starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the
Powertrain Control Module to deactivate
the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit has recognised
the code transmitted by the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the icon
appears on the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try
again with the other keys that come with
the car. If it is still not possible to start
the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.Activation of warning light while
driving
If the iconappears on the display,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to a
voltage drop).
If the iconcontinues to be
displayed, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1)The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected to
strong shocks. In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic devices inside the
key, it should never be exposed to direct
sunlight.
