ELECTRONIC ALARM
DESCRIPTION
The system comprises: a transmitter, re-
ceiver, control unit with siren and volumet-
ric sensors. The electronic alarm is controlled
by the receiver incorporated in the instru-
ment cluster and it is turned on and off by
the remote control in the key which sends
the crypted and variable code. The electronic
alarm controls: the unlawful opening of
doors, bonnet and boot (perimetral protec-
tion), operation of the ignition key, battery
cable cutting, the presence of moving bod-
ies in the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection), any abnormal rais-
ing/sloping of the car (for versions/mar-
kets where applicable) and central door lock-
ing. It also makes it possible to cut off the
volumetric protection.
IMPORTANT The engine inhibitor func-
tion is guaranteed by the Alfa Romeo CODE
system which is activated automatically
when the ignition key is removed.
The remote control is incorporated in the
key and it is fitted with buttons (B-C-D-
fig. 6) that activate the corresponding con-
trol sending the code to the receiver. This
code (rolling code) changes at each trans-
mission.
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
KEYS WITH
REMOTE CONTROL
The receiver can recognise up to 5 keys
with incorporated remote control. Should a
new key with remote control be necessary
for any reason during the life of the car, con-
tact directly Alfa Romeo Authorised Services,
taking with you the CODE card, a personal
identity document and the car’s ownership
documents.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and
the ignition key in the STOP or PARK po-
sition (key removed), point the key with the
remote control in the direction of the car, then
press and release the button (C-fig. 6).
With the exception of certain markets, the
system sounds a “beep” and the doors are
locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnostic test indicated by a different
flashing frequency of the deterrent led (A-
fig. 7) on the dashboard. If a fault is de-
tected the system sounds a further warn-
ing “beep”.
