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.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

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.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

To Disarm The System

Deactivation

Push the unlock button.

The following operations are performed:

• Two brief flashes of the direction indicators.
• Unlocking of the doors.

NOTE:

• If the central door locking system is released using the

metal insert of the key, the alarm is not disabled.

• In the event of accidental activation of the alarm, or in

any case to interrupt the acoustic and visual signal
cycle when activated, it is possible to push the unlock
button or turn the ignition key to MAR-ON for at least
five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.

Disarming

To completely disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy
period of car inactivity), lock the car by turning the metal
insert of the key in the door lock.

NOTE:

If the batteries of the key fob run out or there is a

fault in the system, the alarm can be switched off by
inserting the key in the ignition switch and turning it to
MAR-ON.

Volumetric/Anti-lift Protection

The Vehicle Security Alarm system monitors the doors
and decklid for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation. The system also in-
cludes an intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The
intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior for motion.
The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for any tilting
actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry transport, etc). A
siren with battery backup which senses interruptions of
power and communications is also included.

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 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.

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.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

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.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

The line of transmission must not be blocked

with metal objects.

To Unlock The Doors

Push and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE
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.

NOTE:

The Door Unlock Indicator will illuminate in the

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
locked. This is indicated by a rapid flashing of the
direction indicators. The doors will be locked if the
decklid is open however.

When a speed of more than 12 mph (20 km/h) is reached,
the doors will be locked automatically if the Autoclose

Key Fob
