CONSTANTLYON: Lowengine oil pressure(red)

FLASHING: Engine oil deteriorated

(for versions/markets, where provided - red)

When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is started.

1. Low engine oil pressure

The warning light turns on and stays on constantly (along with a message on the display on some versions) when the system detects that engine oil pressure is low.

If the warning light turns on which driving (on some versions, together with the message on the display), stop the car immediately and contact Alfa Romeo

AuthorizedServices.

2. Engine oil deteriorated

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light will turn on flashing and, on some versions, with a specific message on the display.

Depending on the versions, the warning light flashing modes are as follows:

☐ for 1 minute every two hours;

☐ cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed.

After the first indication, at each engine start up the warning light will continue flashing as described above until the oil is changed. On some versions, the display shows a dedicated message together with the warning light.

If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the car is defective, but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular vehicle use.

Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:

□ mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent;

☐ use of the car for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating temperature;

☐ repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

If the warning lights switches on, the deteriorated engine oil must be changed as soon as possible, and never more than 500 km from the first timethat the

GEARSHIFTINDICATOR

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The "GSI" (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the driver to change gear through a special indication on the display fig. 9.

Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing gear will allow a reduction in fuel consumption.

Therefore, for driving oriented towards reducing fuel consumption, it is recommended to stick to "Natural" or "All Weather" mode and to follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator, where the traffic conditions allow it.

When the SHIFT UP icon (▲ SHIFT) is shown on the display, the GSI is advising the driver to engage a higher gear, when the SHIFT DOWN (▼ SHIFT) icon is displayed, it advises the driver to engage a lower gear.

Note The indication in the instrument panel remains on until the driver shifts gear or the driving conditions go back to a situation where gearshifting is not required to improve consumption.

TRIPCOMPUTER

GENERALINFORMATION

The Trip computer is used to display information on car operation when the key is turned to MAR.

This function allows you to define two separate trips called "Trip A" and "Trip B" for monitoring the car's "complete journey" in a reciprocally independent manner.

Both functions are resettable (reset - start of a new journey).

"Trip A" is used to display the figures relating to:

□Range

Distance travelled

□Average fuel consumption

□Instant fuel consumption

□Average speed

☐ Trip time (driving time).

"Trip B" may be used to display the figures relating to:

Distance travelled B

□Average consumption B

□Average speed B

☐ Trip time B (driving time).

The "Trip B" function may be disabled (see "Activating Trip B").

"Range" and "Instant consumption" parameters cannot be reset.

VALUESDISPLAYED

Range

This indicates the indicative distance that may be travelled with the fuel in the tank, assuming that driving conditions do not change.

The display will show the reading '----' when the following events take place:

☐ range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)

□ car parked with engine running for a long period.

IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several factors: driving style (see "Driving style" in the "Starting and driving" section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above into account.

Distancecovered

Shows the distance covered since the start of the new journey.

Averageconsumption

Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since the start of the new journey.

Instantaneous consumption

This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated.

The display will show "----" if the car is parked with the engine running.

Averagespeed

This shows the average car speed as a function of the overall time elapsed since the start of the new journey.

Triptime

The time elapsed since the start of a new journey.

Indicationsondisplay

Each time a value is displayed, the following information is shown:

□animated icon in the upper part fig. 11;

☐ the word "Trip" (or "Trip A" or "Trip B") (B);

☐ the name, value and unit of measurement of the selected parameter (e.g. "Range 1500 km") (C).

After a few seconds the name and value of the selected parameter are replaced by an icon fig. 12.

10:20 20.5°C 2 D A Trip Range 1500 km C 123456 km

Startofjourneyprocedure

With the ignition key at MAR-ON, reset by pressing the TRIP 0.00 button and holding it down for more than 2 seconds.

TripExit

You can automatically exit the Trip function once all the values have been displayed or by holding the SET/ ⇔ button down for more than 1 second.

SYMBOLS

Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. Under the bonnet there is also a label that summarises all the symbols.

ALFAROMEOCODESYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition device. The modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the "password", by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine management control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management control unit. If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the warning light switches on in the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. If you are still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

Activation of warning light while driving

☐If the 📋 warning light switches on, this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to a voltage drop).
☐If the 📋 warning light remains on, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is subjected to strong shocks.

There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the system returns to normal operation.

IMPORTANT The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted from the ignition switch.

IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various countries.

SWITCHINGONTHEALARM

With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned to STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control towards the car, then press and release the 🔒 button. Except for specific markets, the system emits a visual and acoustic signal and enables door locking. A self-diagnosis stage precedes the switching on of the alarm: in the event of faults, the system will generate a further acoustic and/or visual signal through the LED on the dashboard.

If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emitted and/or a visual signal via the LED on the dashboard, wait about 4 seconds and switch off the alarm by pressing the 🔒 button, check that the doors, bonnet and luggage compartment are closed correctly and then reactivate the system by pressing the 🔒 button.

If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the doors, bonnet and boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system operation: in this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

ALARMSELF-ACTIVATION

(for versions/markets, where provided)

If the alarm has not been activated using the remote control, once about 30 seconds have elapsed from when the ignition key was turned to STOP and a door or the tailgate was last opened and then closed, the alarm activates automatically.

This is indicated by the LED on the button A fig. 20 lighting up intermittently and the indications of activation described previously.

To deactivate the alarm, press the 🔒 button on the remote control.

The alarm also activates when the doors are closed by turning the metal insert of the key in the driver side door latch. If the system self-activates, the doors are not locked.

SWITCHINGOFFTHEALARM

Press the 🔒 button. The following operations are performed (excluding specific markets):

□ the direction indicators flash briefly twice;

DESCRIPTION

The automatic dual zone climate control system regulates the air temperatures/distribution in the passenger compartment in two areas: driver side and passenger side.

The system keeps the passenger compartment comfort level constant and compensates for any variations in external conditions, including solar radiation detected by a specific sensor.

The automatically controlled parameters and functions are:

□ air temperature at the driver's/front passenger side vents;

☐ air distribution at the driver's/front passenger side vents;

☐ fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow);

☐ compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying the air);

□air recirculation.

All these functions can be adjusted manually by operating the system and selecting one or more functions and modifying their parameters. Automatic control of the manually changed functions will be suspended: the system will only override the settings for safety reasons.

Manual selections always have higher priority than automatic settings and are stored until the AUTO button is pressed, except for cases in which the system intervenes for safety reasons.

You can adjust one function manually without affecting the automatic control of the others. The amount of air introduced into the passenger compartment is not affected by vehicle speed; it is electronically controlled by a fan.

The air temperature is always automatically controlled according to the temperature set on the display (except for when the system is off or in certain conditions when the compressor is not running).

The system allows the following to be set or adjusted manually:

□ driver's/passenger side air temperature;

□ fan speed (continuous variation);

□ air distribution to 7 positions (driver/passenger);

□compressor enabling;

□rapid defrosting/demisting function;

□air recirculation;

□heated rear window;

□system deactivation.

SWITCHINGONTHECLIMATE CONTROLSYSTEM

The climate control system can be switched on in different ways: we recommend pressing one of the AUTO buttons and turning the knobs to set the desired temperatures.

It is possible to select different temperatures for the driver and passenger, with a maximum difference of 7^ C.

In this way the system operates completely automatically to adjust the temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the passenger compartment. It also manages the air recirculation system and the activation of the air conditioning compressor.

During fully automatic operation the only manual intervention is the possible activation of the following functions:

☐ MONO, to align the air temperature and distribution set on the passenger side with that on the driver side;

☐ air recirculation (keeping the function always either on or off);

☐ to speed up demisting/defrosting of front windows, rear window and door mirrors;
☐ to demist/defrost heated rear window and door mirrors.

During automatic operation, you can change the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed at any time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change the settings to adjust to the new requirements.

In this way the climate control system will continue to automatically manage all functions except for those that have been manually adjusted. The fan speed is the same in all the zones of the passenger compartment.

Turn knob N or H to the right or left to adjust the air temperature: knob N for the front left area, knob H for the front right area of the passenger compartment. The set temperatures are shown on the display.

Press the MONO button to align the air temperature of the two areas: to set the same temperature, turn knob N.

To return to separate management of air temperature and distribution between the two areas, turn knob N or H or press the MONO button again (when the LED on the button is on).

Turn the knobs fully right or left to engage HI (maximum heating) or LO (maximum cooling) respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature knob to the desired temperature.

SETTINGTHEAIRDISTRIBUTION

By pressing the buttons (▲/▼/▶), it is possible to set one of the 7 possible air distributions manually:

Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly, giving a prompt sensation of warmth.
Air flow distributed between footwell vents (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers. This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to warm up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.
Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/defrosting diffusers and side and central dashboard vents. This allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
▲ ▶ ▼ Air flow distribution to all vents on the car.

In FULL AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons I and M are off). When set manually, the air distribution is shown by the LEDs on the selected buttons.

In combined function mode, functions are enabled together with those already set when the relevant button is pressed. If a button whose function is already active is pressed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

When the driver selects air distribution to the windscreen, the air distribution on the passenger side is also aligned to the windscreen.

The passenger can still select a different air distribution mode by pressing the corresponding buttons.

Press button L to increase/decrease the fan speed. The speed is shown by the lit bars on the display:

☐ maximum fan speed = all bars lit;

☐ minimum fan speed = one bar lit.

The fan can only be excluded if the climate control compressor has been switched off by pressing button B.

IMPORTANT To restore automatic control of the fan speed after a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.

AUTOBUTTONS

Press the AUTO buttons to make the system automatically adjust the quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the respective areas of the passenger compartment; all previous manual settings will be cancelled (this condition is indicated by the text FULL AUTO on the display).

By manually adjusting at least one of the functions automatically managed by the system (air recirculation, air distribution, fan speed or switching off the air conditioner compressor), the word FULL will disappear from the display, indicating that the system is no longer automatically controlling all the functions (the temperature will still be controlled automatically).

IMPORTANT If the system is no longer able to reach/maintain the requested temperature in the various areas of the passenger compartment, the set temperature will flash and after approximately 1 minute the word AUTO will disappear.

To restore automatic control of the system after one or more manual adjustments, press the AUTO button.

MONOBUTTON

Press the MONO button to align the passenger side air temperature with that of the driver side. In this way it is also possible to set the air distribution between the two areas by turning knob N.

This function makes temperature regulation easier when the driver is travelling alone.

To return to separate management of the air temperature and distribution, turn knob H to set the passenger side temperature or press the MONO button when the LED on the button is on.

AIRRECIRCULATION

The air recirculation is managed according to the following operating logics:

□ automatic activation: press one of the AUTO buttons. Activation is indicated by the word AUTO appearing on the display;
□ override on (inside air recirculation always on): indicated by the LED on button C and the ≡ symbol on the display;
□ override off (air recirculation constantly off, air intake from the outside): signalled by the LED on button C switching off and by the symbol in the display disappearing. Forced activation/deactivation can be selected by pressing button C.

IMPORTANT The activation of recirculation makes it possible to reach the required passenger compartment heating/cooling conditions faster.

It is, however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting up inside (especially if the climate control system is off).

When the outside temperature is low, recirculation is forced off (air drawn in from the outside) to prevent the windows from misting up. In automatic operation, air recirculation will be managed automatically by the system according to external environmental conditions.

When manual recirculation control is set, the word FULL disappears from the display and AUTO disappears from the icon.

Itisadvisablenottousetheairrecirculationfunction whentheoutsidetemperatureislowtopreventthe windowsfromrapidlymistingup.

CLIMATECONTROLCOMPRESSOR

Press button B to activate/deactivate the compressor. The system remembers that the compressor has been switched off, even after the engine has stopped.

When the compressor is switched off the system deactivates air recirculation to prevent the windows from misting up. In this case, although the system is capable of maintaining the required temperature, the word FULL will disappear from the display.

If, however, the system is unable to maintain the requested temperature, the temperature indications flash and the word AUTO disappears.

To restore automatic control of compressor engagement, press button B again or press the AUTO button.

With compressor off:

☐ if the outside temperature is higher than the set one, the system will not be able to satisfy the request. The temperature value will then flash on the display for a few seconds and the word AUTO will disappear;

☐ the fan speed can be reset manually.

With the compressor on and the engine running, the fan speed cannot be lower than one bar on the display.

IMPORTANT With the climate control compressor off, air cannot be introduced to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower than the outside temperature; moreover, under certain environmental conditions, windows could mist rapidly since the air is not dehumidified.

RAPIDWINDOWDEMISTING/DEFROSTING(MAX-DEFfunction)

Press button F to activate windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting. The climate control system carries out the following operations:

☐ switches on the air conditioning compressor when climatic conditions are suitable;
□deactivates air recirculation;
☐ sets maximum air temperature (HI) in both zones;
☐ sets fan speed according to the engine coolant temperature;
□ directs air flow to windscreen and front side windows diffusers;
□ activates the heated rear window.

IMPORTANT The MAX-DEF function remains on for about 3 minutes from when the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature.

When the function is active the words FULL AUTO disappear from the display. With the function active the only possible manual adjustments are adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear window off.

Pressing buttons B, C, F or AUTO switches off the MAX-DEF function and restores the settings that were present before the function was activated.

HEATEDREARWINDOW DEMISTING/DEFROSTING

Press the button to activate heated rear windscreen demisting/defrosting. This function switches off automatically after about 20 minutes or when the engine is turned off. It is not switched on automatically the next time the engine is started.

For versions/markets where provided, press the button to activate demisting/defrosting of door mirrors, heated windscreen (for versions/markets, where provided) and heated nozzles (for versions/markets, where provided).

IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that might cause them to stop working properly.

With climate control off:

☐ air recirculation is on, thus isolating the passenger compartment from the outside;
□the compressor is off;
□the fan is off;
□ the heated rear window can be switched on or off;

IMPORTANT The climate control system control unit stores the temperatures set before the system was switched off and restores them when any button of the system is pressed (except for button G). If the function of the pressed button was not active before switching off, that function will also be activated. If it was active, it will be restored.

To restart the climate control system in fully automatic mode press the AUTO button.

When the direction indicator stalk is activated the side for the lights (left or right) can be selected.

AUTOMATICLIGHTINGCONTROL (AUTOLIGHT)(Dusksensor)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain sensor and located on the windscreen, detects the variations in outside brightness depending on the light sensitivity set with the Set-up Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the less external light is required to activate the exterior lights.

Activation

The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 35 is turned to ⚡️. In this way the side lights and dipped headlights are activated automatically according to the external light level.

IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog. Therefore under these circumstances, these lights must be turned on manually.

When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for versions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be turned on.

When the lights are automatically switched off, the front and rear fog lights (if activated) are also switched off. The next time the lights are switched on automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated manually (if required).

With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to turn these lights on, turn ring nut A to position ☐ and turn the dipped headlights on.

When the lights have been activated automatically and are then switched off by the sensor, the dipped beam headlights are switched off first, followed by the side lights a few seconds later.

If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the side lights and dipped beam headlights are switched on irrespective of the outside light level and the sensor failure is indicated on the instrument panel display.

It is also possible to deactivate the sensor and switch on these lights if necessary.

MAINBEAMHEADLIGHTS

To activate the main beam headlights, with ring nut A at ☐, pull the stalk towards the steering wheel beyond the end of travel position.

The warning light switches on the instrument panel.

When the stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel again, beyond the end of travel position, the main beam headlights deactivate, the dipped beam headlights reactivate and the warning light switches off.

"FOLLOWMEHOME"DEVICE

This device allows you to illuminate the area in front of the car for a certain amount of time.

Activation

With the ignition key at STOP or removed, pull stalk A towards the steering wheel and move it within 2 minutes of the engine switching off.

At each single movement of the stalk, the lights will remain on for an extra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights are switched off automatically.

The ≥0≤ warning light on the instrument panel will light up (and the corresponding message will appear on the display) as long as the function is active.

The light comes on when the stalk is first moved and stays on until the function is automatically deactivated. Each movement of the stalk only increases the amount of time the lights stay on.

Deactivation

Keep stalk A pulled towards the steering wheel for more than 2 seconds.

EXTERNALCOURTESYLIGHTS

This function lights up the car and the space in front of it when the doors are unlocked.

Activation

When the car is parked and the doors are unlocked by pressing the button on the remote control (or the luggage compartment is unlocked by pressing ), the dipped headlights, side lights and number plate lights are activated.

The lights remain lit for approximately 25 seconds unless the doors and boot are locked again with the remote control or the doors or boot are opened and reclosed. In these cases they go out after 5 seconds.

The exterior courtesy lights can be enabled/disabled using the Setup Menu (see the paragraph "Menu Items" in this chapter).

WINDOWCLEANING

WINDSCREENWASHER/WIPER

The right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer and rear window wiper/washer operation.

This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.

Ring nut A fig. 36 has the following positions:

- windscreen wipers off;

AD intermittent operation (low speed);

AUTO rain sensor activation (for versions/markets, where provided) (the windscreen wipers adapt the operating speed automatically to suit the intensity of the rain)

AID intermittent operation;

continuous slow operation;

continuous fast operation.

"Smart washing" function

Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled for more than half a second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen washer/wiper jet at the same time.

The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released. A further stroke after approximately 6 seconds completes the cycle.

RAINSENSOR

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This is an infra-red LED sensor fitted on the car windscreen fig. 37.

It is able to detect the presence of rain and consequently manage windscreen wiping in accordance with the amount of water on the windscreen.

Activation

The sensor is activated when ring nut A fig. 36 is turned to "automatic" position ("AUTO" control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of water on the windscreen.

This frequency can vary from no stroke (no rain - windscreen dry) up to the 2^nd constant speed operation (heavy rain - windscreen wet).

The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted through the Set-up menu (see paragraph "Menu Items" in this section).

If the engine is stopped with the lever in "automatic" position, when it is next started no wiping cycle will take place even if it is raining. This prevents accidental activation of the rain sensor when the engine is started (e.g. when the windscreen is being washed by hand or the wipers are stuck to the windscreen when there is ice).

Line drawing of a car interior showing a hand holding a small object near the wheel, with an arrow pointing to the part (no text or symbols present)

fig. 37
A0J0189

Carry out any of the following manoeuvres to restore automatic operation of the system:

□ movement of left stalk from the automatic position to any other position and then back to automatic;
☐ sensitivity adjustment (by turning ring nut A to increase or decrease).

When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of the manoeuvres described above, reactivation is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen wipers, regardless of the condition of the windscreen.

If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke is carried out to confirm the change.

In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of whether there is rain on the glass (sensor failure is indicated on the display).

The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode ( 1^st or 2^nd speed). The failure indication remains for as long as the sensor is active.

REARWINDOWWASHER/WIPER

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Activation

This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.

Turn ring nut B fig. 36 from position ⬆ to position ☑ to operate the rear window wiper as follows:

☐ in intermittent mode when the windscreen wiper is not operating;
☐ in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper is operating;
☐ in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged and the control active.

With reverse gear engaged and windscreen wiper on, the rear window wiper is activated in continuous mode. Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear window washer jet.

Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear window wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart washing function, as described for the windscreen wiper.

CRUISECONTROL

(for versions/markets, where provided)

GENERALINFORMATION

This is an electronically controlled driving assistance device which allows driving at a chosen speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight roads with few variations (e.g. motorways), without having to depress the accelerator pedal.

The use of this device on extra-urban roads with traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not use it in town.

TURNINGTHEDEVICEON

Turn ring nut A fig. 38 to ON.

The device cannot be engaged in 1 ^st or reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it in 5 ^th gear or higher.

STORINGTHECARSPEED

Proceed as follows:

□ turn ring nut A fig. 38 to ON and press the accelerator to reach the required speed.
☐ move the stalk upwards (+) for at least 1 second, then release it: the car speed is now memorised and you can therefore release the accelerator.

If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate simply by pressing the accelerator; when you release the pedal, the car goes back to the speed set previously.

RESTORINGTHEMEMORISEDSPEED

If the device has been disengaged by pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the stored speed can be reset as follows:

□ accelerate gradually until a speed approaching the one stored is reached;
☐ engage the gear selected at the time that the speed was stored;
☐ press the RES button (B fig. 38).

INCREASINGTHEMEMORISEDSPPEED

Press the accelerator and store the new speed or move the lever upwards (+).

Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held upwards will continuously increase the speed.

REDUCINGTHEMEMORISEDSPPEED

Deactivate the device and store the new speed or move the lever downwards (-) until the new speed is reached. It will then be stored automatically.

Each movement of the lever corresponds to a slight reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed continuously.

TURNINGTHEDEVICEOFF

To disengage the device:

- turn ring nut A fig. 38 to OFF;

or

- switch the engine off;

or

- press the brake pedal, the clutch or the accelerator; in this last case the system is not effectively disengaged but the system gives priority to the acceleration request.

HEADLIGHTS

LIGHTBEAMDIRECTION

The correct orientation of the headlights is important for the driver's comfort and safety as well as for all other road users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the highway code.

The headlights must be correctly aligned to ensure the best visibility conditions for yourself and others when driving with lights on. To check and, if necessary, adjust, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

HEADLIGHTALIGNMENTCORRECTOR

This device works with the ignition key in the MAR position and the dipped headlights on.

ADJUSTINGTHEHEADLIGHTSABROAD

The dipped headlights are aligned to comply with the regulations of the country of purchase. When travelling in countries with opposite driving direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other side of the road, you need to cover areas of the headlight according to the Highway code of the country you are travelling in.

ABSSYSTEM

The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip and gives the best control when performing emergency braking under difficult road conditions.

The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution) completes the system allowing the brake force to be distributed between the front and rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.

SYSTEMINTERVENTION

It can be detected because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that the car speed should be altered to suit the type of road surface.

MECHANICALBRAKEASSIST (emergencybrakingassistance)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises emergency braking conditions (according to the brake pedal operation speed) and provides an additional hydraulic braking pressure to support that provided by the driver. This allows faster and more powerful operation of the braking system.

IMPORTANT When the Mechanical Brake Assist intervenes, noises may be heard from the system. This is normal. In any case, while braking keep the brake pedal firmly depressed.

If the ABS system intervenes, this indicates that the traction of the tetyresontheroadisnearing its limit. Slowdown to as speed compatible with the available traction.
TheABSgetsthemostfromtheavailablegrip, but it cannotimproveit; you should therefore fake every carewhendriving on slipper surface and not take unnecessary risks.
WhentheABScutsinandyoufeelthebrakepedal pulsating, donotremoveyourfoot, but keepthepedal pushdown; indoingsoyou, will stop in the shortest distance possible undertheroad conditions at the time.

ESC(ElectronicStability Control)SYSTEM

This is an electronic system controlling car stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional control.

The system is capable of recognising potentially dangerous situations in terms of the stability and intervenes automatically on the brakes in a differentiated manner for the four wheels in order to provide a stabilising torque.

The ESC system also includes the following systems:

□Hill Holder

□ASR

□Brake Assist

□MSR

□CBC

□"ELECTRONIC Q2" ("E-Q2")

□DST

SYSTEMACTIVATION

The ESC system switches on automatically when the engine is started and cannot be switched off.

SYSTEMINTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light ⚙ on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.

HILLHOLDERSYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the ESC system and facilitates starting on slopes.

It is automatically activated in the following conditions:

☐ uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pedal pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear (other than reverse) engaged;
☐ downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.

When setting off the ESC system control unit maintains the braking pressure at the wheels until the engine torque required for departure is reached or for approximately 2 seconds, allowing your right foot to be moved easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

If the vehicle has not departed after this time, the system will deactivate automatically by gradually releasing the brake force. A sound may be heard during this stage: this indicates that the vehicle is about to move off.

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a handbrake. Do not leave the vehicle without having engaged the handbrake, switched off the engine and engaged a gear.

ASR(AntiSlipRegulation)SYSTEM

It is an integral part of the ESC system. It automatically operates in the event of one or both drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc.

Depending on the slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated:

☐ if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the engine;
☐ if the slipping only involves one of the drive wheels, the ASR intervenes automatically braking the wheel that is slipping.

BRAKEASSIST

(assistance during emergency braking)

The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises emergency braking (on the basis of the brake pedal operating speed) and speeding up the response of the braking system. The Brake Assist device is deactivated if there is a ESC system failure.

MSRSYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the ABS, that intervenes, if there is a sudden downshifting, restoring torque to the engine, thereby preventing excessive drive at the drive wheels which, especially in poor grip conditions, could lead to a loss in stability of the car.

CBC(CorneringBrakeControl) SYSTEM

This function improves the distribution of the braking pressure at the four wheels (to fully exploit the grip available on the ground) when braking on bends if the ABS intervenes. This improves stopping distances and above all vehicle stability when cornering.

"ELECTRONICQ2" SYSTEM("E-Q2")

The "Electronic Q2" system uses the braking system to create an effect similar to a limited slip differential.

The front braking system, when accelerating around a curve, acts on the inside wheel to increase the drive to the outside wheel (increased load), dynamically and continuously distributing the torque between the front drive wheels according to driving and road conditions.

The system, combined with MacPherson front suspension, allows particularly effective and sports driving to be achieved.

DSTSYSTEM

(DynamicSteeringTorque)

This function integrates Dual Pinion active steering into the operation of ESC. For particular manoeuvres, the ESC system controls the steering to actuate a steering torque and assist the driver in the best possible way.

The system operates the brakes and steering in a coordinated manner to increase the suspension and safety level of the car as a whole. The steering provides additional torque on the steering wheel.

"AlfaDNA" SYSTEM (Car dynamic control system)

This device allows, using lever A fig. 74 (on the central tunnel), three car response modes to be selected according to driving style and road conditions:

□ d = Dynamic (sports driving mode);
☐ n = Natural (mode for driving in normal conditions);
☐ a = All Weather (mode for driving in poor grip conditions, such as rain and snow).

The device also acts on the dynamic car control systems (engine, steering, VDC system, instrument panel).

In the 1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions, selecting "Dynamic" operating mode activates the turbocharger supercharging function (overboost): depending on the accelerator pedal position and for a limited time, the engine management control unit allows the system to generate maximum pressure levels inside the turbocharger and the engine torque can reach higher values than usual.

This function is particularly useful whenever maximum performance is required for a short time (e.g. when overtaking).

IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the "Dynamic" function is used the steering may shudder, which is typical of a sports setting.

☐ It is not possible to switch directly from "Dynamic" mode to "All Weather" mode and vice versa. You must always first go back to "Natural" mode and then select the other mode.
☐ The driving mode engaged before the engine stops is maintained when it is next started.
☐ In the event of system failure or a fault with lever A fig. 74, no driving modes can be selected. The display will show a warning message.

START&STOPSYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The Start&Stop system automatically stops the engine each time the car is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to move off. In this way, the efficiency of the car is increased, by reducing consumption, emissions of harmful gases and noise pollution.

OPERATINGMODES

Engine stopping mode

With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.

Note The engine can only be stopped automatically over about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.

The Ⓢ fig. 80 symbol appears on the display when the engine stops.

When the system is deactivated, the warning light on the instrument panel switches on. For versions/markets where provided, a message and symbol are also displayed in the event of system activation/deactivation.

ENGINESTOPPINGFAILURE CONDITIONS

When the system is operating, due to comfort, emission control and safety reasons, the engine does not stop in some conditions, among which:

□engine still cold;
□ especially cold outside temperature;
☐ battery not sufficiently charged;
☐ particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in progress (diesel engines only);
□ driver's door not shut;
□ driver's seat belt not fastened;
□ reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking manoeuvres);
☐ for versions equipped with dual zone automatic climate control (for versions/markets, where provided), if an adequate level of thermal comfort has not been reached or with MAX-DEF function activation;
□ during the first period of use, to initialise the system.

If the climate comfort is befavoured, the Start & Stop system can be deactivated, for a continuous operation of the climate control system.

ENGINEERESTARTINGCONDITIONS

Due to comfort, emission control and safety reasons, the engine can restart automatically without any action by the driver, under special conditions, such as:

□ battery not sufficiently charged;
☐ reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly);
□ car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a gradient);
□ engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 3 minutes;
☐ for versions equipped with dual zone automatic climate control system (for versions/markets, where provided), if an adequate level of thermal comfort has not been reached or MAX-DEF function activation.

With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The driver is informed by the displaying of a message on the display and - for versions/markets, where provided - by the flashing of the symbol ⑤.

Notes

If the clutch is not pressed, about 3 minutes after the engine stops, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.

In cases when the engine stops and this is not desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being released sharply with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by placing the gear lever in neutral.

SAFETYFUNCTIONS

When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.

The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the flashing of the symbol on the display; on some versions, a message is displayed as well.

"ENERGYSAVING"FUNCTION

(for versions/markets, where provided)

If, following automatic engine restarting, the driver does not carry out any action on the car for over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops the engine once and for all, to prevent fuel consumption. In these cases, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.

NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.

IRREGULAROPERATION

In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop system is deactivated.

The driver is informed of the fault by the ⚠ warning light switching on in the instrument panel and, for versions/markets where provided, a message and symbol on the display.

In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

CARINACTIVITY

In the event of car inactivity (or if the battery is replaced), special attention must be paid to the disconnection of the battery power supply.

The procedure must be carried out as follows: press button A fig. 82 to detach connector B from battery status monitoring sensor C (this is located on the negative pole of the battery itself).

Incaseofbatteryreplacement,alwayscontactAlfa RomeoAuthorizedServices.Replaceebatterywith oneofthesametype(HEAVYDUTY)andwiththesame

DYNAMICSUSPENSION(active shockabsorbersystem)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This system interacts with the "Alfa DNA" system (see paragraph "Alfa DNA").

The "Alfa DNA" system lever allows you to choose three different driving settings depending on the route type and on the road surface:

□ d = Dynamic (sports driving mode);

□ n = Natural (mode for driving in normal conditions);

☐ a = All Weather (mode for driving in poor grip conditions, such as rain and snow).

In "Natural" and "All Weather" operating mode, the active shock absorbers adjust the car suspension to suit the route type and the driving stresses, thus considerably improving driving comfort in particular on rough terrain.

Technical diagram of a vehicle engine compartment with a warning panel and control buttons labeled in Chinese.

fig. 84
A0J0341

The "Dynamic" operating mode produces a sports driving setting characterised by more responsive acceleration and greater effort on the steering wheel to give a sporty feeling. The shock absorber damping action is also adjusted and divided, to guarantee higher precision and reactivity of the car, while maintaining a good comfort level.

The car is more precise when entering bends and quicker in changing direction.

EOBDSYSTEM(EuropeanOn BoardDiagnosis)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) is to:

□ monitor the system efficiency;
□ indicate an increase in emissions;
□ indicate the need to replace damaged components.

The car also has a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the electronic control units together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis. This check can also be carried out by the traffic police.

IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to check the system completely, Alfa Romeo Authorised Services are obliged to run tests and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

ELECTRICPOWERSTEERING

This only operates with the key turned to MAR-ON and the engine started. Power steering allows the force required at the steering wheel to be adapted to driving conditions.

The different power assistance modes can be selected via the "d,n,a" positions of the "Alfa DNA System" lever (see "Alfa DNA System" paragraph).

DISPOSITIVI-ELETTRONICI

RADIOTRANSMITTERSANDMOBILE PHONES

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is mounted externally.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the passenger compartment (without separate aerial) produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the passenger compartment, may cause electrical systems equipping the car to malfunction. This could compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for the passengers.

In addition, transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.

As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

PARKINGSENSORS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The parking sensors are located in the car's rear bumper fig. 86 and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal, about the presence of obstacles behind the car.

ACTIVATION

The sensors are activated by engaging reverse gear. As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal becomes more frequent.

INDICATIONSONDISPLAY

(for versions/markets, where provided)

When the sensor is activated, the "Reconfigurable multifunction display" (for versions/markets, where provided) shows the screen illustrated in fig. 87.

Obstacle presence and distance information is therefore provided both by the buzzer and the instrument panel display.

If there are several obstacles the closest one is indicated.

fig. 86
A0J0088

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL

When reverse gear is engaged an acoustic signal is automatically activated if there is an obstacle within the range of operation.

The acoustic signal:

☐ increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle decreases;
□ becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance increases;
☐ remains constant if the distance remains unchanged; if this situation concerns the side sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds to avoid, for example, warning indications in the event of manoeuvres along walls.

IMPORTANT The volume of the acoustic signal can be adjusted through the option "Warning volume" of the "Set-Up menu".

GENERALWARNINGS

During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to any obstacles that could be located above or below the sensors.

Objects located near the rear of the car are not detected under certain circumstances and could therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged.

The following conditions may influence the performance of the parking sensor system:

☐ reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the parking assistance system performance could be due to the presence on the surface of the sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
☐ the sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo interference) due to mechanical interference, for example when washing the car, in rain (strong wind), hail;
☐ The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.

☐ sensor performance can also be influenced by the position of the sensors. For example by a change in the ride setting (caused by the wear of the shock absorbers, suspension), overloading the vehicle and carrying out specific tuning operations that require the vehicle to be lowered;
☐ The detection of obstacles at the top part of the car may not be guaranteed because the system detects obstacles that could cause an impact with the car in the bottom part.

TPMS(TyrePressure MonitoringSystem)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The car may be fitted with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which informs the driver of the tyre inflation status via the "Check tyre pressure" and "Low tyre pressure" messages on the display.

This system comprises a radio frequency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim inside the tyre), which is able to send information on the tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUT THETPMS

The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not be displayed after the engine has been switched off and then on again.

If the fault conditions persist, the control unit will send the relative indications to the instrument panel only after the car has been in motion for a short time.

The presence of the TPMS does not permit the driveto neglect regular check so that repressure, including for the spare wheel.

Only use unleaded petrol. The petrol octane rating (RON) must not be lower than 95. In order to prevent damage to the catalytic converter never introduce even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even in the event of an emergency.

DIESELENGINES

Use only diesel fuel compliant with European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent defective operation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel fuel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel whose features are not suitable for the temperature of use, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive with the fuel, in the proportions shown on the container. Pour the additive into the tank before the fuel.

When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using locally available fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

PROTECTINGTHEENVIRONMENT

The following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and evaporation control system

The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) and particulate filter (DPF).

DIESELPARTICULATEFILTER(DPF) (Diesel Particulate Filter)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust system, that physically traps carbon particles present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.

The diesel particulate filter is needed to eliminate almost all carbon particle emissions in compliance with current/future regulations and standards.

During standard use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be periodically regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.

The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by the engine management control unit according to the filter conditions and vehicle use conditions.

During the regeneration there may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed, fan activation, a limited increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.

These are not faults; they do not impair normal car performance or damage the environment. If the dedicated message is displayed, see contents of "Warning lights and messages" paragraph.

The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach very high temperatures during operation. Therefore donotpark the caron flammable materials (grass, dry

leaves, pineneedles, etc.): firehazard.

SBRSYSTEM

(SeatBeltReminder)

It consists of an acoustic warning which, switching on the ⚠ warning lights in the trim located on the internal rear view mirror (see fig. 92), warns passengers in the front and rear seats that the seat belt is not fastened.

Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Workshops to deactivate the SBR system for a long period.

The SBR system can be reactivated at any time through the Setup Menu only (see "Menu Items" in "Knowing your car" section).

The warning lights may be red or green and operate as follows:

☐ 1 = front left seat (driver status for left-hand drive versions);
□ 2 = rear left seat (passenger);
☐ 3 = rear centre seat (passenger);
☐ 4 = rear right seat (passenger);
☐ 5 = front right seat (passenger status for left-hand drive versions).

NOTE On versions equipped with sports front seats, the passenger side seat belt fastened indication (warning light 1 for RHD versions or warning light 5 for LHD versions) will never be displayed.

FRONTSEATS(warninglightno.1=driverandno.5=passenger)

Driver

If the driver is the only occupant and their seat belt is not fastened, when 20 km/h is exceeded or when travelling at a speed between 10 and 20 km/h for longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal cycle will be started for the front seats (continuous acoustic signal for 6 seconds followed by a 90 second beep). The warning light will flash.

The warning lights will stay on constantly at the end of the cycle until the engine is stopped. The acoustic signal will be interrupted immediately when the driver's seat belt is fastened and the warning light will turn green.

The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual) will be repeated as described above and the red warning light will flash if the seat belt is unfastened again while travelling.

Passenger

A similar situation applies to the front passenger, with the difference that the warning light turns green and the indication is also interrupted when the passenger leaves the car.

If both front seat belts are unfastened a few seconds apart while the car is travelling, the acoustic signal will refer to the most recent event and the two warning lights will proceed with the visual indication independently.

REARSEATS(warninglightno.2,no.3andno.4)

For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is only activated when any seat belt is unfastened (flashing red).

In this condition, the warning light for the seat belt which has been unfastened will flash (red) for approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic signal is also emitted.

The visual indication (flashing red) will start and stop independently for each warning light if several seat belts are unfastened. The warning light will become green when the relevant seat belt is fastened again.

The rear seat warning lights will switch off, regardless of the state of the belt (red or green) approximately 30 seconds after the last signal.

IMPORTANT

The warning lights are all off if all seat belts (front and rear) are already fastened when the ignition key is turned to MAR.

All warning lights switch on when at least one belt changes from fastened to unfastened or vice versa.

PRETENSIONERS

The car is equipped with front seat belt pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by several centimetres in the event of a violent frontal impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupants' bodies before the restraining action begins.

It is evident that the pretensioners have been activated when the belt withdraws towards the reel.

The car is also equipped with a second pretensioner (in the kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the metal cable.

A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during the activation of the pretensioner. This is not harmful and does not indicate the start of a fire.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and pelvis.

The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to exceptional natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced.

LOADLIMITERS

To increase protection, the front seat belt reels contain a load limiter which controls the force acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event of a head-on collision.

GENERALINSTRUCTIONSFORUSING THESEATBELTS

Comply with (and ensure that all the other occupants of the car comply with) the local laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting off.

Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in the event of an accident is reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.

Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen fig. 93. The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must adhere to the pelvis fig. 94, not to the abdomen of the occupant. Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.

Formaximumprotection, keepthebackrestupright, leanback into it and makes sure these seat belt fits closely across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belt on both the front and there are seats! Travelling without wearing seat belt will increase the risk of serious injury and even death in the event of an accident.

Each seat belt must be used by only one person. Never travel with a child sitting on a passenger's lap and a single belt to protect them both fig. 95. In general, do not place any objects between the person and belt.

If the belthas beens subjected to high level of stress, example after an accident, it should be changed completely together with the attachments, attachment fixings crews and the pretensioner. Infact, even if the belthas no visible defects, it may havelost its resilience.

SEATBELTMAINTENANCE

□ Always use the belt with the strap well stretched and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without obstructions;
☐ replace the belt after an accident of a certain severity even if it does not appear to be damaged. Always replace the belt if the pretensioners were deployed;
☐ hand wash the seat belts with water and neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Do not use strong detergents, bleach, colourants or any other substance which could damage the belt fibres;
☐ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;
□ replace the seat belt when there is wear or cuts.

CARRYINGCHILDRENSAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of an impact, all occupants must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems, including newborn and other children!

This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.

Compared with an adult, a child's head is larger and heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child's muscular and bone structures are not fully developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce as much as possible the risk of injuries in case of accident, braking or sudden manoeuvre.

Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As far as the characteristics of the child restraint systems used allow, you are advised to keep children in rear facing restraint systems for as long as possible (at least until 2 years old), since this is the most protected position in the event of an impact.

The choice of the most suitable child restraint device depends on the weight of the child; there are various types of child restraint systems and you are advised always to choose the one that is most suitable for the child.

When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear seat belts normally.

In Europe the characteristics of children restraint systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into five weight groups:

Group Weight groups

Group 0 upto 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data along with the control mark on a label firmly secured to the child seat which must never be removed.

Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo includes child seats for each weight group. These devices are recommended having been specifically tested for Alfa Romeo cars.

Main recommendations to carry children safely

☐ Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an accident.
□ Keep children in rear facing seats for as long as possible, until 2 years old.
☐ Should a rear facing child seat be installed on the rear seats, it is advisable to position it as far forward as the position of the front seat allows.
☐ If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always check the permanent switching on of the dedicated warning light on the instrument panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
□ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child seat itself. Keep the instructions in the car along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child seats without instructions.
☐ Only one child is to be strapped into each restraint system; never carry two children simultaneously.
□ Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with the child's throat.
□ Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by pulling on it.

□ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
□ Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal section under an arm or behind their back.
☐ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one can restrain a child in the event of an accident.
☐ In the event of an accident, replace the child seat with a new one.

FRONTAIRBAGS

The car is equipped with multi-stage front airbags ("Smart bags") for the driver and passenger and knee bags for the driver.

"SMARTBAG" SYSTEM (MULTISTAGE FRONTAIRBAGS)

The front airbags (driver's and passenger's) and the driver's knee bag have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing cushions between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.

Therefore non-deployment in other types of impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a system malfunction.

The airbags do not replace, but rather complement, the use of seat belts, which should always be worn. In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt could move forward and come into contact with a bag which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.

Front airbags may not activate in the following situations:

☐ frontal impacts against highly deformable objects not involving the front surface of the car (e.g. wing collision against guard rail);

☐ car wedging under other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails).

Failure to activate in the conditions described above is due to the fact that they may not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropriate.

In these cases, non-deployment does not indicate a system malfunction.

When an active passenger air bag is fitted, DONOT install backwards-facing child seat on the front seat. Deployment of the air bag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of these severity of the impact. Always deactivates the passengers side air bag when placing a child

seatonthefrontseat. The passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to avoid the child seat from coming into contact with the dashboard. Though not required by law, we recommend that you are to activate this air bag as soon as the child no longer needs to be transported to ensure better protection for adults.

To increase protection of occupants in case of side collision, the car is equipped with front side bags for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection (side bags) for the driver and the passenger and airbags protecting the head of front and rear occupants (window bags).

Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an indication of system malfunction.

These comprise two types of bags located in the front seat backrests fig. 107 which protect the pelvic, chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the event of a side impact of medium-high severity.

SIDEAIRBAGSFORHEADPROTECTION (WINDOWBAGS)

This comprises two "curtain" bags housed behind the roof side linings and covered by special trims fig. 108.

It is designed to protect the head of front and rear occupants in the event of a side collision, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface. The deployment of side bags in the event of side impacts of low severity is not required.

The airbags are not deployed in the event of low-severity impacts (for which the retaining action of the seat belts is sufficient). It is therefore always necessary to wear seat belts.

IMPORTANT

Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing stations).

The front airbags and/or side bags may be deployed if the car is subject to violent impacts involving the underbody area (e.g. violent impacts against steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the road etc.).

When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral soap and water.

All operations on airbags (inspection, repair and replacement) must be carried out by Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

If the car is to be scrapped, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have the airbag system deactivated.

Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in different ways, according to the type of impact. Failure to deploy of one of the devices does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

The airbag does not replace seat belts but increases the effectiveness. Because front air bags are not deployed for low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in addition to any side bags, only by their seat belts, which must therefore always be fastened.

SAVINGFUEL

Here are some suggestions which can help you to save fuel and lower harmful emissions.

GENERALCONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the "Scheduled Servicing Plan" (see chapter "Maintenance and care").

Tyres

Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adversely affect consumption levels. It is better to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.

Electrical devices

Only use electrical devices for the time needed. The heated rear window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan require a considerable amount of energy; increasing the current uptake increases fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an urban cycle).

Climate control system

Using the climate control system will increase consumption: use the air vents when the external temperature allows it.

Devices for aerodynamic control

The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control may adversely affect air drag and fuel consumption.

DRIVINGSTYLE

Starting

Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will warm up more quickly.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. The latter action, like double-declutching, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

Use a higher gear when traffic and road conditions allow it. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.

Maximum speed

Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed increases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration which cause excessive fuel consumption and increased emissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently severely affects consumption and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and should not exceed the maximum torque.

CONDITIONSOFUSE

Cold starting

Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent the engine from reaching optimal running temperature. This results in a significant increase in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emissions.

Traffic and road conditions

High fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use of low gears or in large towns with many traffic lights. Winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces also adversely affect consumption.

Stops in traffic

During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) switch the engine off.

TOWINGTRAILERS

IMPORTANT

The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow hook and adequate electrical system to tow caravans or trailers. Installation must be carried out by a specialist.

Fit any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors as specified by the Highway Code.

Remember that, when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, braking distances increase and overtaking takes longer relative to the overall weight of the trailer.

Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly using the brake.

The weight of the trailer reduces the load capacity of the car by the same amount. Consider the weight at full load, including accessories and luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the maximum towable weight (shown in the registration document).

Respect the speed limits specific to each country for vehicles towing trailers. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.

INSTALLINGATOWHOOK

Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services to install a tow hook.

TheABSwithwhichthecarisequippedwillnotcontrol thebrakingsystemofthetrailer.Particularcautionis thereforerequiredonslipperyroads.

Donot, underanycircumstances, modifythevehicle's brakingsystem to control the trailer breakingsystem. The towingbreakingsystem must be completely entofthevehicle's hydraulic system.

SNOWTYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car: Alfa Romeo Authorized Services will be able to advise you on the most appropriate tyre to use.

Only use these tyres in the event of ice or snow on the roads.

For the type of snow tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications, strictly follow the instructions given in the "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section.

The winter performance of these tyres is considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.

Due to their specific features, the performance of snow tyres is much lower than that of normal types in normal conditions or long motorway stretches. Their usage should therefore be restricted in accordance with their type approval.

All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking and good driveability. Remember that it is inadvisable to change the rotation direction of tyres.

Themaximumspeedforsnowtyresmarked"Q"is 160km/h,whileitis 190km/hfor"T"tyresand210 km/hfor"H"tyres.Thehighwaycodespeedlimits

musthoweveralwaysbecompliedwith.

SNOWCHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations. The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel tyres (drive wheels).

Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.

Use reduced size snow chains: on all versions, for 195/55 R16" and 205/55 R16" size tyres use low-clearance snow chains with a maximum projection beyond the tyre profile of 9 mm.

IMPORTANT The space-saver wheel cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a front (drive) wheel is punctured and snow chains must be used, you must remove a normal wheel from the rear and replace this one with the space-saver wheel. In this way, with two normal drive wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.

Keepyourspeeddownwhensnowchainsarefitted;donot exceed50km/h.Avoidpotholes,stepsandpavements andavoiddrivinglongdistancesonroadsnotcoveredwith biddamagingthecarandtheroadbed.

STORINGTHECAR

If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the following precautions should be noted:

☐ park the vehicle in a dry, covered and, if possible, ventilated area; engage a gear and check that the handbrake is not engaged;
☐ disconnect the negative battery terminal and check the battery charge. Repeat this check once every three months during storage;
☐ if you have not disconnected the battery, check the battery charge every thirty days;
☐ clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax;
☐ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special compounds available commercially;
□ sprinkle talcum powder on the windscreen and rear window wiper rubber blades and lift them off the glass;
□ slightly open the windows;
☐ cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car.
☐ inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard specified pressure and check it at intervals;
☐ do not drain the engine cooling system.

IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP, wait at least 1 minute before disconnecting the battery power supply.

INANEMERGENCY

In an emergency we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can also consult www.alfaromeo.com to find your nearest Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

STARTINGTHEENGINE

If the warning light on the instrument panel remains on constantly, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services immediately.

JUMPSTARTING

If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one.

Proceed as follows to start the vehicle:

□ connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead fig. 113;

Diagram of an automotive electrical connector with labeled components and wiring connections

fig. 113
A0J0392

☐ with a second cable, connect the negative terminal (−) of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point ↓ on the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
☐ start the engine; afterwards, follow the sequence above in reverse order to remove the cables.

For versions with Start&Stop system, to carry out the jump starting procedure, refer to the paragraph "Start&Stop system" in the "Getting to know your car" section.

Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services if you cannot start the engine after several attempts.

IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the two batteries directly! If the auxiliary battery is installed on another car, prevent accidental contact between metallic parts of the two cars.

GENERALINFORMATION

Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene (blow) in the event of a failure or improper intervention on the system.

When a device does not work, check the condition of its protective fuse: the conductor element A fig. 149 must be intact.

If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).

B = undamaged fuse.

C = fuse with damaged filament.

SERVICINGANDMAINTENANCE

SCHEDULEDSERVICING

Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for the car under the best conditions.

That's why Alfa Romeo has prepared a series of checks and service operations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (petrol versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (diesel versions).

Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and between these services deadlines.

Scheduled Servicing is carried out at Alfa Romeo Authorized Services according to a set time schedule. If, during each operation, in addition to the ones scheduled, the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the Customer. If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service operation and the next should be reduced.

WARNING

At 2,000 km from the next service operation the display will show a message.

The Scheduled Services intervals are set out by the Manufacturer.

Failure to comply with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.

It is advisable to inform Alfa Romeo Authorized Services of any small faults without waiting for the next scheduled service.

1.4 Petrol, 1.4 Turbo MultiAir, 1.3 JTD _M-2 and 1.6 JTD _M versions

Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it. Take it out again and check that the engine oil level is between the MIN and MAX references on the dipstick.

Turbo TwinAir versions

Engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug B. Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth that does not leave traces, refit the dipstick and re-tighten the plug.

Unscrew the cap again and check that the engine oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption is approximately 400 grams every 1,000 km. When the car is new, the engine needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

BATTERY

Battery F (see previous pages) does not require the electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A periodic check carried out at Alfa Romeo Authorized Services is, however, necessary to check efficiency.

REPLACINGTHEBATTERY

If necessary, replace the battery with another genuine battery with the same specifications. Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for maintenance.

USEFULADVICEFOREXTENDINGTHE LIFEOFYOURBATTERY

To avoid draining your battery rapidly and maintain its efficiency over time, carefully observe the following instructions:

☐ when you park the car, ensure that the doors, bonnet and flaps are closed correctly, to prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside the passenger compartment;
☐ switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is however equipped with a system which switches all internal lights off automatically;
☐ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running;
☐ before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the negative battery pole;

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency at start-up.

The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can happen as early as -10^ ). Refer to "Storing the car" in "Starting and driving" if the car is left parked for a long time.

If after having purchased your car you decide to add accessories requiring permanent electrical power (alarm etc.) or accessories that require large amounts of power, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement.

Batteryliquidispoisonousandcorrosive.Avoid contactwiththeskinandtheeyes.Keepnakedflames andsourcesofsparksawayfromthebattery:riskof explosionandfire.

Using the battery with insufficient fluid irreparably damage the battery and may cause an explosion.

Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your car. After purchasing your car, if you wish to install any accessories (anti-theft, radio phone etc.), contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services, who will suggest them most appropriate devices for your vehicle and will, most importantly, advise you if higher capacity battery need stobe installed.

Batteriescontainssubstanceswhichareverydangerousfor theenvironment. Forthereplacementofthebattery, contactAlfaRomeoAuthorizedServices.

If the car will be unused for an extended period of time in extremely cold weather conditions, remove the battery and store it in a heated area to prevent it from freezing.

When performing any operation on the battery or near it, always protect you reyes with special goggles.

WHEELSANDTYRES

Before embarking on a long trip, and every two weeks, check the tyre inflation pressure and space-saver wheel. Check the tyres when cold.

While driving the car, the pressure increases under standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" chapter. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 164:

A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;

B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges;

C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.

The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.

IMPORTANT

Take the following precautions to prevent damage to the tyres:

☐ avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and violent impact against the curb, potholes or other obstacles and driving for extended periods on uneven road surfaces;

A B C

fig. 164
A0J0136

☐ periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear;
☐ avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If you puncture a tyre, stop immediately and replace it;
☐ change the position of the tyres every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car to avoid inverting the direction of rotation;
☐ tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres checked by specialised personnel if they have been fitted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the space-saver wheel very carefully;
☐ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those of dubious origin;
☐ if a tyre is replaced, also replace the inflation valve.

Remember that theroadholding qualities of your car alsodependonthecorrectinflationpressureofthe tyres.

WINDSCREEN/REARWINDOW WIPER

BLADES

We recommend replacing the blades once a year.

A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades:

☐ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen the rubber against the glass. Use a de-icing product to release it if required;

□ remove any snow from the window;

☐ do not operate the windscreen/rear window wipers on dry glass.

Replacingthewiperblades

Proceed as follows:

☐ raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig. 165 of the attachment spring and remove the blade from the arm;
☐ fit the new blade by inserting the tab into the special slot in the arm. Make sure that it is properly locked into place;
☐ lower the windscreen wiper arm on the windscreen.

☐ operate the lever to the right of the steering wheel to activate a windscreen wiper stroke (see paragraph "Window washing" in chapter "Getting to know your car");
□ turn the ignition key to the STOP position when the driver's side wiper blade reaches the windscreen side pillar and lift the windscreen wiper to the rest position;
☐ bring the wiper blades back into contact with the windscreen before activating the windscreen wiper.

BODYWORK

PROTECTIONAGAINSTATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The car is equipped with the best available technological solutions to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.

These are the most important:

☐ painting products and systems which give the car resistance to corrosion and abrasion
☐ use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion;
□ spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner wing, edges, etc;
☐ use of "open" boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture which could favour the formation of rust inside;
☐ use of special films to protect against abrasion in exposed areas (e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).

BODYANDUNDERBODYWARRANTY

The car is covered by warranty against perforation due to corrosion of any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet.

PRESERVINGTHEBODYWORK

Paint

Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the formation of rust.

Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the car: the frequency depends on the conditions and environment where the car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the car more often in areas with high levels of atmospheric pollution or salted roads.

To correctly wash the car, follow these instruction:

☐ remove the aerial from the roof when using a carwash;
☐ if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash the car, maintain a distance of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration. Bear in mind that a build up of water could cause damage to the car in the long term.
☐ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
☐ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
☐ rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames, bonnet, headlight frames etc.) with special care, as water may stagnate more easily in these areas. Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car.

Detergentspollutetheenvironment. Only wash your carin are a equipped to collect and treat wastewater from this type of activity.

Inordertopreservetheaestheticpropertiesofthe paintwork,abrasiveproductsand/orpolishesshouldnot beusedtocleanthecar.

IMPORTANT

Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by trees makes the paintwork go opaque and increases the possibility of corrosion. Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.

Windows

Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratching or altering the transparency.

IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear window gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.

Front headlights

Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and detergent for washing cars.

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the front headlights.

IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure washer, keep the water jet at least 20 cm away from the headlights.

Engine compartment

At the end of every winter, wash the engine compartment thoroughly, taking care not to aim the jet of water directly at the electronic control units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this operation performed at a specialised workshop.

IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After washing, make sure that the various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or damaged.

INTERIORS

Periodically check for water puddles under the mats that could cause the panels to rust.

SEATSANDFABRICPARTS

Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub the seats with a sponge soaked in a solution of neutral detergent and water.

CLEANINGALCANTARASEATS

Alcantara trim can be treated and cleaned easily in the same way as the other trims. The same indications given for cleaning fabrics are also therefore applicable for this trim.

LEATHERSEATS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp cloth, without exercising too much pressure. Remove liquid or oil stains using a dry absorbent cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth dampened with water and neutral soap. If the stain persists, use specific products and observe the instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the cleaning products used contain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.

PLASTICANDCOATEDPARTS

Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if possible made from microfibre), and a solution of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products free from solvents and designed to maintain the original appearance and colour of the components.

Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if necessary moistened with water. The use of paper tissues is not recommended as these may leave residues.

Neverusealcohol, petrolsandderivativestocleanthe dashboard and instrument panellens.

LEATHERPARTS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Use only water and neutral soap to clean these parts. Never use alcohol or alcohol-based products. Before using a specific product for cleaning interiors, make sure that it does not contain alcohol and/or alcohol based substances.

(**)For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60% PARAFLU ^UP and 40% distilled water is recommended.

FUELCONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific European Directives.

The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:

□ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
□ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
☐ combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption figures than those measured.

IMPORTANT The fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.

PRESCRIPTIONSFORHANDLINGTHEVEHICLEATTHEENDOFITS LIFE

For years, Alfa Romeo has pursued a global commitment to protect and respect the environment by continually improving its production processes and developing increasingly eco-compatible products. To ensure its customers the best possible service in compliance with environmental standards and in response to obligations arising out of European Directive 2000/53/EC on end of life vehicles, Alfa Romeo offers its customers the chance to hand back their vehicles (*) at the end of their life cycle at no additional cost.

The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.

To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships or an Alfa Romeo authorised collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high-quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.

You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an Alfa Romeo Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 2532 0000 or on the Alfa Romeo website.

INTRODUCTION

The radio has been designed according to the passenger compartment's specific characteristics and with a personalised design that complements the style of the dashboard.

The instructions for use are given below. We recommend that you read them carefully.

ADVICE

Road safety

Familiarise yourself with the various car radio functions (e.g. storing radio stations), before starting to drive.

Reception conditions

Reception conditions change constantly while driving. Reception may be interfered with by the presence of mountains, buildings or bridges, or when you are far away from the broadcaster.

Note The volume may be increased when receiving traffic alerts and news.

Ifthevolumeistooloudthiscouldbe dangerousforthedriverandforpassengers whendrivingintraffic.Alwaysadjustthe

volumesothatyoucanstillhearbackgroundnoises.

Maintenance and care

Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing products may damage the surface.

CD

Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause skipping during playback and poor sound quality. Follow these tips for optimum playback conditions:

□ only use CDs with the following mark:

☐ clean every CD thoroughly removing any fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the circumference and clean them from the centre towards the edge;
□ never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or thinner spray cans) for cleaning as they could damage the surface of the CDs;
□ after listening to them place CDs back in their cases to avoid them being damaged;
☐ do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or moisture for long periods;
☐ do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and do not write on the recorded surface using pens or pencils;

☐ Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked, distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage to the player or make it malfunction;
☐ to achieve the best quality audio reproduction we recommend the use of original CD media. Correct operation is not guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were not correctly burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above 650 Mb;
☐ do not use commercially available protective sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers as they could get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc;
☐ if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few seconds before the system starts to play it. The CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all protected discs. The presence of copy protection is often indicated in small or difficult to read letters on the cover of the CD; like, for example, "COPY CONTROL", "COPY PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or may be identified through the use of symbols, such as, for example:

☐ The CD player is able to read most of the compression systems currently on the market (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) but as these systems are continually evolving, playback of all compression formats is not guaranteed.

With the TA function, it is possible to:

□ search only for RDS stations that broadcast in FM and are enabled to broadcast traffic information;
□ receive traffic information even when the CD player is in operation;
□ receive traffic information at a minimum preset volume even with the radio volume off.

Note In some countries there are radio stations that, even with the TP function activated, do not transmit traffic information (the "TP" icon appears on the display).

If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when TA is activated it will tune into the last selected station in the FM1 band.

The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted depends on the listening volume:

☐ listening volume below 5: traffic news volume 5 (fixed value);
☐ listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal to listening volume +1.

If the volume is changed during traffic news, the level will not be shown on the display; the new level will only be maintained during the news.

While traffic information is being received, "TRAFFIC INFORMATION" will appear on the display.

The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any button on the radio.

REGIONALMODEfunction (regional transmission reception)

The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted using the "SPEECH VOLUME" function in the Menu (where the function is provided). The word "PHONE" will appear on the display during the deactivation of the audio for the phone call.

ANTI-THEFTPROTECTION

The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection system based on the exchange of information between the radio and the electronic control unit (Body Computer) on the car.

This system guarantees maximum safety and avoids the entry of the secret code each time the radio power supply is disconnected.

If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will start to function, whereas if the comparison codes are not the same or if the electronic control unit (Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask the user to enter the secret code according to the procedure described in the paragraph below.

Entering the secret code

When the radio is switched on, if the code is requested, the display will show "Radio code" for about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".

The code is made up of four numbers from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of the dashes.

To enter the first digit of the code, press the corresponding button of the pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other code numbers in the same way.

If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds, the display will show "Enter code - - -". If this occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code entry.

After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the radio will start to operate.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will emit a sound and the display shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to notify the user of the need to enter the correct code.

Each time the user enters an incorrect code, the waiting time will gradually increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h, 24 h) up to a maximum of 24 hours.

The waiting time will be shown on the display with the text "Radio blocked/wait". After the text has disappeared it is possible to start the code entry procedure again.

Car radio passport

This document certifies ownership of the radio. The car radio passport shows the radio model, serial number and secret code.

Note Keep this car radio passport in a safe place so that you can give the information to the relevant authorities if the car radio is stolen.

In case of loss of the car radio passport, contact the Alfa Romeo Authorised Services, taking an ID document and the car ownership documents.

To select the Radio function when another audio source is being listened to, briefly press the FM AS or AM buttons depending on the desired band.

Once the Radio mode has been activated, the display will show the name (RDS stations only) and the frequency of the selected radio station, the frequency band selected (e.g. FM1) and the preselect button number (e.g. P1).

With the Radio mode active, press the FM AS or AM button briefly and repeatedly to select the desired reception band.

Each time the button is pressed the following bands are selected cyclically:

☐ By pressing the FM AS button: "FM1", "FM2" or "FMA";

☐ By pressing the AM button: "MW1, MW2".

Each band is highlighted by the name in the display. The last station selected on the respective frequency band will be tuned into.

The FM band is divided into sections: FM1, FM2 or "FMA"; the FMA reception band is reserved for broadcasters stored automatically using the AutoSTore function.

PRESETBUTTONS

The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 are used to set the following preset stations:

☐ 18 in the FM band (6 in FM1, 6 in FM2, 6 in FMT or "FMA" (on some versions));
☐ 12 in the MW band (6 in MW1, 6 in MW2).

To listen to a preset station, select the desired frequency band and then briefly press the corresponding preset button (from 1 to 6).

By pressing the preset button for more than 2 seconds, the current station will be stored.

The storing phase is confirmed by an acoustic signal.

During the automatic storing process, the word "Autostore" flashes on the display.

Press the FM AS button again to interrupt the AutoSTore function: the radio will again tune into the station listened to before the activation of the function.

When the AutoSTore function has finished, the radio will automatically tune into the first preset station on the FMA band stored on the preset side 1.

The stations that have a strong signal in the preselected band at that moment, are then automatically stored on the buttons numbered from 1 to 6.

When the AutoSTore function is activated within the MW band, the FMA band is automatically selected and the function is performed there.

Note Sometimes the AutoSTore function is not able to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this case, the strongest stations will be duplicated in the free preset buttons.

Note When the AutoSTore function is activated, the stations that were previously stored in the FMA band are deleted.

EMERGENCYALARMRECEPTION

The radio is configured to receive emergency alerts in RDS mode in exceptional circumstances or where dangerous situations are present (earthquakes, floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by the current broadcaster.

This function is activated automatically and cannot be turned off.

The word "Alarm" will be shown in the display during the transmission of an emergency announcement. The volume of the radio will change during this announcement in the same way as during a traffic bulletin.

EONFUNCTION

(EnhancedOtherNetwork)

In some countries, there are circuits that group multiple broadcasters that transmit traffic information together. In this case, the programme of the station that is being listened to will be temporarily interrupted to:

□ receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function activated);

☐ listen to regional transmissions each time these are broadcast by one of the broadcasters on the same circuit.

STEREOPHONICBROADCASTERS

If the incoming signal is weak, playback is automatically switched from Stereo to Mono.

CDPLAYER

INTRODUCTION

This section describes the variants regarding the operation of the CD player: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer to the description in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.

☐ insert a CD with the equipment switched on: the first track will start to play;

or

☐ if a CD has already been loaded, switch on the radio and then briefly press the CD button to select the "CD" operating mode: the last track listened to will start to play.

It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we recommend using good quality media mastered at the slowest speed possible.

LOADING/EJECTINGACD

To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate the motorised loading system, which will position it correctly.

The CD can be loaded with radio off and the ignition key turned to MAR: in this case the radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on, the last source listened to prior to switching off will be activated.

When a CD is inserted the display will show the symbol "CD-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They will remain displayed for the entire time required for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this time has elapsed the radio will automatically start to play the first track.

Press the ▲ button with the radio on to activate the motorised ejection of the CD. After ejection, the last audio source listened to before playing the CD will be heard.

If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later and the Tuner mode will be activated (Radio).

The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is off.

If the ejected CD is reloaded without having removed it completely from the slot, the radio will not switch to the CD source.

Possible error messages

If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM has been inserted or the CD is inserted upside down or there is reading error) the display will show the text "CD Disc error".

The CD will then be ejected and the audio source activated prior to the CD mode selection will be heard.

With an external audio source activated ("TA", "ALARM" or "Phone"), the CD that cannot be read will not be ejected until these functions have ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated, the display will show the text "CD Disc error" for a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.

DISPLAYINFORMATION

When the CD player is working, the display will show the following information:

☐ "CD Track 5": indicates the number of the CD track;
☐ "03:42": indicates the time elapsed since the start of the track (if the relevant Menu function is activated).

TRACKSELECTION(forward/back)

Briefly press the ◀ button to play the previous CD track and the ▶ button to play the next track.

The tracks are selected cyclically: the first track is selected after the last track and vice versa.

If the track has been played for more than 3 seconds, pressing the ◀ button will cause the track to be started again from the beginning.

In this case, if you want to play the previous track, press the button twice consecutively.

TRACKFASTFORWARD/REWIND

The fast forward/rewind will stop once the button is released.

PAUSEFUNCTION

To pause the CD player, press the ➤ button. The text "CD Pause" appears on the display.

To resume listening to the track, press the ▶ button again. If another audio source is selected, the pause function is deactivated.

MP3CDPLAYER

INTRODUCTION

This section only describes the variants regarding the operation of the CD MP3 player: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer to the description in the "Radio" and "CD MP3 Player" sections.

NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson multimedia.

MP3MODE

In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio is also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files have been stored using the MP3 compression format. The radio operates as described in the "CD Player" section when an ordinary audio CD is inserted.

To guarantee optimal playback quality it is advisable to use good quality CDs mastered at the lowest speed possible.

The files on an MP3 CD are structured by folder, creating lists of all the folders containing MP3 tracks (folders and subfolders are all displayed on the same level); the folders that do not contain MP3 tracks cannot be selected.

The operating conditions and specifications for playing MP3 files are as follows:

☐ the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to the ISO 9660 standard;
☐ the music files must have an ".mp3" extension: files with a different extension cannot be played;
☐ the following sampling frequencies can be played: 44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit/s) - 22.05 kHz, mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit/s);
☐ tracks with a variable bit-rate can be reproduced.

Note The names of tracks must not contain the following characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and close brackets). When burning an MP3 CD, make sure that the names of the files do not contain these characters; if they do, the radio will not be able to play the tracks involved.

SELECTINGMP3SESSIONS ONHYBRIDDISCS

If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode, Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3 files, the radio automatically starts playing the audio session. It is possible to switch to the MP3 session whilst playing by holding the MEDIA button down for more than 2 seconds.

Note When the function is activated the radio may take a few seconds to start playing. Whilst checking the disc the display will show "CD READING". If no MP3 files are detected, the radio will resume playing the audio session from the point where it was interrupted.

DISPLAYINFORMATION

ID3-TAG information display

In addition to the information relating to the time elapsed, the name of the folder and the name of the file, the radio is also capable of displaying ID3-TAG information relating to the Track Title, Artist and Author.

The name of the MP3 folder shown on the display corresponds to the name with which the folder was stored on the CD, followed by an asterisk.

Example of a complete MP3 folder name: BEST OF *.

When ID3-TAG data is chosen to be displayed (Title, Artist, Album) that has not been recorded for the track played, the information will be replaced by that relating to the name of the file.

SELECTINGNEXT/PREVIOUSFOLDER

Press the ▲ button to select a subsequent folder or press the ▼ button to select a previous folder.

The display will show the number and the name of the folder (e.g. "DIR 2 XXXXXX").

XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display will only show the first 8 characters).

The folders are selected cyclically: the first folder is selected after the last folder and vice versa.

If no other folder/track is selected in the next 2 seconds, the first track on the new folder will be played.

If the last track in the folder at that moment selected is played, the next folder will be played.

STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS

The radio with MP3 player:

☐ recognises only the folders that contain MP3 format files;

☐ if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are structured in sub-folders, their structure is compressed to a single level structure where the sub-folders are taken to the level of the main folders.
