EMERGENCY
STARTING
If it is not possible to deactivate the
engine inhibitor with the Alfa Romeo
CODE system, the Y
lights stay on and the engine will not
start. Emergency starting 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 emer-
gency procedure, the ignition key should
be turned to STOP and the operations
must be repeated from the start (point 1).
1) Read the 5-figure electronic code on
the CODE card.
2) Turn the ignition key to MAR.

now release the accelerator pedal.

8) A quick flash of the U warning light
(for about four seconds) confirms that the
operation has been carried out correctly.

key from MAR to AVV without return-
ing the key to the STOP position.
Conversely, if the U warning light stays
on, turn the key to STOP and repeat the

it is advisable to contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services, because the emer-
gency procedure must be repeated each
time the engine is started.
