ACTIVATING THE ALARM

When the doors and boot/bonnet lids

are closed and the ignition key is in the

STOP position (key removed), point the

remote control towards the car and press

the button on the ignition key.

With the exception of some markets the

system sounds a “BEEP”, the hazard

warning lights turn on for appr. three sec-

onds and the door lock is engaged.

Engagement of the alarm is preceded

by a self-diagnosis characterised by a

change in the frequency at which the led

(A-fig. 12) flashes. If an anomaly is

detected the system gives off a further

“BEEP”.

Surveillance

When the system has been turned on,

the led (A-fig. 12) on the dashboard

will flash to indicate that the system is in

the surveillance mode.

The led (A) inside the car flashes

throughout the whole time the vehicle is

under surveillance.

IMPORTANT Operation of the elec-

tronic alarm is adapted at the origin to

the regulations of the different countries.

Self-diagnosis and monitoring of

doors and bonnet/boot

If, after the alarm has been activated, a

second acoustic signal is heard, check

that all the doors and bonnet/boot are

closed properly and engage the system

once again.

On the other hand, if a door or bon-

net/boot lid is not correctly closed it will

not be controlled by the system.

If the control signal is repeated when

the doors and bonnet/boot are closed

properly this means that the self-diagno-

sis function has detected a system operat-

ing fault, in which case it is necessary

contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

DEACTIVATING THE ALARM

To deactivate the alarm press the button

on the remote control. The system per-

forms the following (with the exception

of some markets):

– the direction indicators turn on twice

briefly

– two beeps are sounded briefly by the

siren

– the doors are released.

IMPORTANT If the led in the car s-

tays on when the system has been deac-

tivated, (maximum of 2 minutes or until

the ignition key is moved to MAR) the

following should be borne in mind:

– if the led stays on permanently, it

means that the remote control batteries

are flat and need replacing;

– if the led continues to flash, but at

different intervals than normal, it means

that attempts to steal the car have been

made, counting the number of flashes it

is also possible to identify the type of at-

tempt:

1 flash: right front door

2 flashes: left front door
