I’ve had this problem intermittently on my 2003 JTS (I think the letters “JTS” are pretty important here) since new and in most cases it has been a false alarm. A restart generally clears the “safe mode” and I’ve discovered that disconnecting the battery for 15mins clears the alarm itself. I'll check the battery just to see if it might be the root of the problem. BTW, remember that the system is German so the Italians can’t take all the blame!

WRT AC Aberdeen, I agree with the views expressed completely! They are the epitome of the dreadful Alfa dealer and I really can’t stand the sanctimonious “Service” Manager. I’m glad they’ve lost the sales franchise but I can’t understand how they’ve retained the service side.
