POWER WINDOWS
For some versions, the power windows
are fitted with a safety system with crush-
prevention seals. The electronic control
unit that operates the system is capable of
detecting the presence of an obstacle dur-
ing the window closing motion through
the special seals. Should this occur, the
system stops the movement of the win-
dow and reverses it immediately.IMPORTANTIf the crush-prevention
function is operated for 3 times in 1
minute, the system automatically sets to
the “recovery” mode (self-protection). To
reset the correct system operating logic,
press the control button until full window
opening. The logic is reset and if there are
no faults, the window winder automatical-
ly resumes normal operation; if not con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
IMPORTANTWith the ignition key at
STOPor removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated immediately the moment
a door is opened.

TO REDUCE THE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be reduced in
two ways:
1) disengaging the device (for instance
pressing the brake pedal) and then mem-
orising the new speed (turning the ring
(B) to (+) for at least three seconds);
2) keeping the ring pressed (B) at (–)
until reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.The device may only be engaged in in
4th, 5th or 6th gear, depending on the
speed of the car. Travelling downhill with
the device engaged the car speed may
increase more than the memorised one,
due to the change in the engine load.
The ring (A) may be left constantly at
ONwithout damaging the device. You
are, however, advised to switch the device
off when not in use, turning the ring to
OFF, to avoid memorising speeds by
accident. It is advisable to engage the cruise con-
trol only when the conditions of the traffic
or roads so permit under completely safe
conditions, i.e.: straight and dry roads,
dual carriage ways or motorways, flowing
traffic and smooth road surface. Do not
engage the device in town or in heavy
traffic conditions.When travelling with the
cruise control on, do not
move the gearshift lever to
neutral and do not move the Sele-
speed selector to N.
Cruise control may only
be engaged at speeds be-
tween 30 and 190 km/h.
If the device is faulty or
not working, turn the ring
(A) to OFF and contact Al-
fa Romeo Authorised Services af-
ter checking that the protection
fuse is intact.
ESETTING THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The memorised speed is automatically
reset turning off the engine or moving the
ring (A) to OFF.
