OPENING FROM INSIDE
(fig. 126)
Tailgate is released electrically and this can
be performed only when the ignition key
is in positionMARwith car at a standstill
or in STOPorPARKposition for 3 min-
utes without unlocking/locking one of the
doors.
To unlock the tailgate, press button (A)
on the centre console panel.
Tailgate raising is facilitated by the gas
shock springs.
OPENING WITH REMOTE
CONTROL
(fig. 127)
The tailgate can be opened by remote con-
trol from outside pressing the button (A),
also when the electronic alarm is engaged.
Opening of the tailgate is accompanied by
a double flash of the direction indicators;
closing is accompanied by a single flash.
If an electronic alarm is fitted, with the
opening of the tailgate, the alarm system
switches off volumetric protection and the
tailgate control sensor, the system “beeps”
twice (with the exception of certain mar-
kets).
Closing the tailgate again, the control func-
tions are restored, the system “beeps” twice
(with the exception of certain markets).
The gas springs are cali-
brated to ensure correct
tailgate raising with the
weights foreseen by the manufac-
turer. The arbitrary addition of
items (such as spoilers, etc.) may
compromise the correct operation
and safety of the actual tailgate.

IN AN EMERGENCY
219
IN THE EVENT
OF AN ACCIDENT
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved, stop at
least a few dozen metres away from the ac-
cident.
– On motorways, stop without blocking
the emergency lane.
– Turn the engine off and the hazard warn-
ing lights on.
– At night, illuminate the place of the ac-
cident with the headlights.
– Take care, do not risk being run over.– Signal the accident placing the triangle
at regulation distance in a clearly visible
place.
– Call the emergency organisation, giving
the most accurate information possible. On
motorways use the special phones provid-
ed.
– In motorway pileups, especially with
poor visibility, the risk of being involved in
other crashes is high. Leave the car imme-
diately and go beyond the guard-rail.
– If the doors are blocked, do not try to
get out of the car breaking the windscreen
which is stratified. The windows and rear
screen are easier to break.
– Remove the ignition key of the vehi-
cles involved.– If you note a smell of fuel or other chem-
ical products, do not smoke and have ciga-
rettes stubbed out.
– To put out fires, even small ones, use
the extinguisher, blankets, sand, or earth.
Never use water.
– If use of the lighting system is not nec-
essary, disconnect the battery negative ter-
minal (–).

The driver’s door panel contains the but-
tons that control the following windows,

Press the button to lower the window. Pull
to raise it.
IMPORTANTThe driver’s power window
is fitted with the “continuous automatic op-
eration” device for both lowering and raising
the window. A brief press on the upper or
lower part of the button will cause it to move
and continue automatically: the window
stops in the required position by pressing ei-
ther the upper or lower part of the button

POWER WINDOWS
For some versions, the power windows are
fitted with a safety system with crush-pre-
vention seals. The electronic control unit that
operates the system is capable of detect-
ing the presence of an obstacle during the
window closing motion through the special
seals. Should this occur, the system stops
the movement of the window and reverses
it immediately.
IMPORTANTIf the crush-prevention
function is operated for 3 times in 1 minute,
the system automatically sets to the recov-
ery mode (self-protection). To reset the cor-
rect system operating logic, use the control
button. The window will rise in predefined
steps until closing completely. The logic is re-
set and if there are no faults, the window
winder automatically resumes normal oper-
ation; if not, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services.
With the ignition key at STOPor removed,
the power windows remain activated for
about 3 minutes and are deactivated im-
mediately the moment a door is opened.

Do not keep the button
pressed when the window
is completely raised or
lowered.

IMPORTANTIf the car is fitted with
safety seals, after locking the doors, keep-
ing the corresponding button on the remote
control pressed for about 2 seconds the win-
dows and sunroof (if present) are closed au-
tomatically. The remote control button must
be kept pressed until the windows have
completed their stroke, releasing the button
before, the windows stop in the position
they are in at that moment.
On all versions, after unlocking the doors,
keeping the remote control button pressed
for about 2 seconds the windows and sun-
roof (if present) are opened. Passenger’s side (fig. 9)
The button (A) controls the passenger’s
side window.
IMPORTANTThe passenger’s power
window is fitted with the “automatic con-
tinuous operation” device for lowering the
window only. The device works in the same
way as the one on the driver’s side.
Improper use of power
windows can be danger-
ous. Before and during use, always
make sure that the passengers are
not exposed to the risk of harm ei-
ther directly by the moving win-
dows or by personal objects drawn
or knocked by them. When leaving
the car, always remove the igni-
tion key to prevent the power
windows from being operated in-
advertently, and harming anyone
left on board.

A0A0477m
LENGTHWISE
ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 10)
Raise the lever (A) and push the seat
backwards or forwards; in the driving posi-
tion the arms should be slightly flexed and
the hands should rest on the rim of the steer-
ing wheel.
DRIVER’S SEAT
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 10)
To raise the seat, pull the lever (B) up-
wards, then work the lever (up and down)
until reaching the required height, then re-
lease it. To lower the seat, push the lever
(B) downwards then work the lever (up and
down) until reaching the required height.
IMPORTANTAdjustment must be car-
ried out only seated in the driver’s seat.
BACK REST ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 10)
Turn the knob (C) until reaching the posi-
tion required.
TILTING THE BACK REST (fig. 10)
(3-door versions)
To gain access to the rear seats, pull the
handle (E), the back rest folds and the seat
is free to run forwards.
A recovery mechanism with memory
makes it possible to take the seat back to
its previous position.
Once the seat back has been returned to
the travelling condition, make sure that it
is correctly clamped, checking that the “red
band” on the upper part of the handle (E)
is concealed. In fact, this “red band” indi-
cates that the seat back is not camped.
Also check that the seat is firmly locked on
the runners, trying to move it to and fro.
DRIVER’S SEAT
LUMBAR ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 10)
Turn the knob (D) until obtaining the most
comfortable position.
Any adjustments are to be
carried out only with the
vehicle stationary.
WARNING
After releasing the adjust-
ment lever, always check
that the seat is locked on the run-
ners, trying to move it to and fro.
The lack of this clamping action
could cause the seat to move un-
expectedly and cause loss of ve-
hicle control.
