EMERGENCY
STARTING
If it is not possible to deactivate the engine
inhibitor with the Alfa Romeo CODE system,
the Y and U warning lights stay on and
the engine will not start. Emergency start-
ing is needed to start the engine.
IMPORTANT You are advised to care-
fully read the entire procedure before car-
rying it out.
If a mistake is made during the emergency
procedure, the ignition key should be turned
to STOP and the operations must be re-
peated from the start (point 1).
1) Read the 5-figure electronic code on the
CODE card.
2) Turn the ignition key to MAR.

3) Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
keep it pressed. The U warning light will
come on for eight seconds and then go off,
now release the accelerator pedal.
4) The U warning light begins to flash:
after it has flashed the same number of
times as the first digit on the CODE card,
press the accelerator pedal and keep it
pressed until the U warning light turns on
(for four seconds) and then goes off, now
release the accelerator pedal.
5) The U warning light starts to flash: af-
ter the number of flashes corresponding to
the second digit on the CODE card, press the
accelerator pedal and keep it pressed.
6) Repeat this procedure for the remain-
ing digits on the CODE card.
7) After entering the last figure, keep the
accelerator pedal pressed. The U warn-
ing light turns on (for four seconds) and
then goes off; now release the accelera-
tor pedal.

8) A quick flash of the U warning light
(for about 4 seconds) confirms that the op-
eration has been carried out correctly.
9) Start the engine turning the ignition key
from MAR to AVV without returning the
key to the STOP position.
Conversely, if the U warning light stays
on, turn the key to STOP and repeat the
procedure starting from point 1).
IMPORTANT After emergency starting
it is advisable to contact an Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Service, because the emergency
procedure must be repeated each time the
engine is started.
