2016 Alfa Romeo 4c Alarm System 

The 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C comes with a strong alarm system that is meant to keep your car safe and secure of course. The key fob can be used to arm and disarm this high-tech security feature, making it easy and handy to keep your car safe from theft and unauthorized access. The alarm system has many sensors that can pick up on different threats, like break-ins, attempted forced entry, or even unauthorized movement. If any of these are detected, a loud warning goes off to scare off potential thieves. The system may also have extra features, like panic buttons for emergencies, and it may work with the car’s central locking system to make things even easier. You can get the most out of this important part of your Alfa Romeo 4C’s security suite by reading and following the specific instructions in the owner’s manual.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors and decklid for unauthorized entry. It will also activate the siren and emit a visual flash of the turn signals (front and rear) for any of the following intrusion cases.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:

1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid (perimeter protection);
2. Cutting of the battery leads;
3. Movement inside the passenger compartment (volumetric protection);
4. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.

Operation of the alarm is indicated by a visual signal (flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). There is a maximum number of visual cycles. When this is reached the system returns to normal operation.

To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed and the ignition key either turned to STOP (OFF/LOCK) or removed, point the key towards the vehicle then push and release the lock button. The system emits a 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 instrument 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 visual signal is emitted 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 a visual signal even when the doors and decklid are closed correctly, a system malfunction has occurred: in this case, contact an authorized vehicle Dealership.

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 visual signal cycle when activated, it is possible to push the unlock button or turn the ignition key to MAR (ON/RUN) for at least five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.
