START&STOP
Manual climate control system
The system will remain set to the air flow setting made by the user
when the Start&Stop function is operated (engine off when speed
is zero). Cooling and heating in the passenger compartment is not
guaranteed in these conditions because the compressor and the
engine coolant pump are both stopped. To privilege climate con-
trol system operation, press the button on the dashboard to turn
the Start&Stop function off.
NOTAIn particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended
to limit the use of the Start&Stop function to prevent the com-
pressor from continuously switching on and off, with following fa-
st window misting and accumulation of humidity with unpleasant
smells in the passenger compartment.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Operate the climate control system for at least 10 minutes every
month during the winter. Have the system checked by Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services before the summer.

u(B Position) Air flow distributed between foot well vents and
windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting vents.
This distribution setting allows warms up the passenger com-
partment and prevents the windows from misting up.

(cooler air).

FITTING “UNIVERSAL” CHILD SEAT
(with seat belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 99
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle
seat, which, by supporting the head, does not induce stress on
the neck in the event of sharp deceleration. The cradle is restrained
by the car seat belts, as shown in the diagram, and in turn it must
restrain the child with its own belts.
fig. 99A0K0014mfig. 100A0K0129m
The diagrams are indicative and provided for as-
sembly purposes only. Fit the child seat according to
the instructions that must be supplied with the seat.
GROUP 1 fig. 100
From 9 to 18 kg of weight, children may be carried facing forward.
There are seats with Isofix hooks which enable se-
cure fastening to the seat without using the car’s
seat belts.

GROUP 2 fig. 101
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be secured using the car seat belts
directly. The child seat is needed only to position the child correctly
with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section crosses the
child’s chest and never the neck, and the lower part is snug on
the hips not the abdomen.
GROUP 3 fig. 102
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are boosters allow-
ing the seat belt to fit correctly.
Fig. 102 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear seat.

USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal down fully and shift
the gear lever into the required position (a diagram is shown
on the knob fig. 111).
To engage 6th gear, operate the lever by pressing it towards the
right in order to avoid engaging 4th gear by mistake. Similar ac-
tion to pass from sixth to fifth gear.
To engage reverse gear (R) from the neutral position, lift up ring
A-fig. 111 and simultaneously move the lever to the left and then
forwards.
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged only when the car is at a
standstill.
fig. 111A0K0082m
Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears cor-
rectly. Therefore, the floor area under the pedals
must be clear: ensure that any rubber mats are flat
and do not interfere with the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear
lever, because this pressure, even if light, can wear
out the inner components of the gearbox over
time.
