RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR PHONES
Radio transmitting equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios,
amateur radio etc.) shall not be used inside the car unless a sep-
arate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the passenger com-
partment (without a separate aerial) may cause the vehicle elec-
trical systems to malfunction. This could compromise safety in ad-
dition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices may be af-
fected by the shielding effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), fol-
low the instructions for use provided by the mobile phone manu-
facturer.
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper fig. 88 and
their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent beep-
ing, of the presence of obstacles behind the car.
TURNING THE SENSORS ON
The sensors are turned on when reverse gear is engaged. As the
distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the beeping
becomes more frequent.

IN AN EMERGENCY
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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
If the Ywarning light in the instrument panel remains on con-
stantly, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services immediately.
JUMP STARTING
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.
For engine starting follow the procedure below, fig. 112:
❍connect the positive terminal (+) of the booster battery only
with the point indicated on the vehicle battery (writing OK
figure 112) and nowhere else;
❍with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–) of the
auxiliary battery to an earthing point
Eon the engine or the
gearbox of the car to be started;
❍when the engine has been started, follow the sequence above
in reverse order to remove the leads.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service Provider if you cannot
start the engine after several attempts.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the two bat-
teries directly! If the auxiliary battery is installed on another car,
prevent accidental contact between metallic parts of the two cars.

IMPORTANT If the battery remains with the charge below 50%
for a long time it becomes damaged through sulphation and its
starting capacity is reduced.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can happen
as early as –10°C). 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 re-
quiring permanent electrical power (alarm etc.) or accessories that
require large amounts of power, please consult Alfa Romeo Au-
thorized Services. They can calculate the overall electrical require-
ment.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and the eyes. Keep naked
flames or possible sources of sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion or fire.
Using the battery when the fluid is too low dam-
ages it irreparably and can cause an explosion.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic devices
may cause severe damage to your car. Go to an Al-
fa Romeo Authorised Service Provider if you want
to install accessories after having purchased your car
(alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they will be able to suggest
the most suitable devices and advise you if a higher ca-
pacity battery needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that are very dan-
gerous for the environment. Contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services to replace the battery.
If the car must remain unused for a long time at
very low temperatures, remove the battery and
take it to a warm place, to avoid freezing.
When performing any operation on the battery
or near it, always protect your eyes with spe-
cial goggles.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the letters “TA”
will appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA function
on/off:
❍briefly press the MENU button and se-
lect “Traffic Info”;
❍press buttons /to switch the
function on/off.
If the TA function is activated, “TA” will light
up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is activated
with an audio source other than Tuner (Ra-
dio) (CD, MP3, Telephone or Mute/Pause),
the radio can carry out an automatic search
and therefore it is possible, when reactivat-
ing the Tuner (Radio) source, that the fre-
quency tuned into will be different from the
one set previously.With the TA function it is possible to:
❍search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, which are enabled
to transmit traffic information;
❍receive traffic information even if the CD
player is on;
❍receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are ra-
dio stations that do not broadcast traffic in-
formation even with the TP function acti-
vated (“TP” in the display).
If the radio is working on the AM band,
when the TA function is activated it will
switch to the last station tuned into on the
FM1 band. The volume at which the traffic news is trans-
mitted 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 a traffic up-
date, the level will not be shown on the dis-
play; the new level will only be maintained
during the update.
The display will show the words TRAFFIC IN-
FORMATION whilst a traffic update is being
received.
The TA function can be interrupted by press-
ing any button on the car radio.

TELEPHONE SETUP
If a hands-free kit is installed on the car,
when there is an incoming phone call the
car radio audio will be connected to the tele-
phone output. The telephone volume is al-
ways fixed, but it can be adjusted during a
conversation using the left knob A(fig.1).
The fixed telephone audio volume can be
adjusted using the “SPEECH VOLUME” func-
tion in the Menu. The word PHONE will ap-
pear on the display during the deactivation
of the audio for the phone call.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft pro-
tection system based on the exchange of in-
formation between the car radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer) on
the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum security
and avoids the password having to be en-
tered every time after the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the outcome of the check is positive, the
radio will start to work, whilst if the codes
compared are not the same or if the elec-
tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-
placed, the equipment will notify the user of
the need to enter the password following the
procedure in the paragraph below.
Entering the code
When the radio is switched on, if the pass-
word is requested, the display will show “Ra-
dio 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 number, press the button
corresponding to the preset 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.
