ENGINE IMMOBILIZER

The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle
preventing to start the engine.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to ON, the
Engine Immobilizer system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in
the "Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.

Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
ON; if it is still blocked, try with the other
keys provided. If it is still not possible to
start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If the icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the display persists, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
