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 warning
light turns on (for four seconds) and then
goes off; 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.
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 Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Services, because the emergency
procedure must be repeated each time the
engine is started.
