ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
OPERATION OF THE ALARM
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❍unauthorised opening of doors/bonnet/boot (perimeter pro-
tection);
❍unauthorised operation of ignition system (ignition key rotat-
ed to MAR);
❍the battery cables cutting;
❍when someone is moving inside the passenger compartment
(volumetric protection);
❍anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and visual sig-
nal (flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The
alarm triggering modes may vary according to the markets. 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 configured to comply with the regulations
existing in different countries.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned
to STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control to-
wards the car, then press and release
Ábutton. Except specific
markets, the system produces a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the turning on of the alarm: In case
of faults the system will generate a further acoustic and/or visu-
al signal using the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emit-
ted and/or the LED on the dashboard flashes, wait about 4 sec-
onds and switch off the alarm by pressing
Ëbutton, check that the
doors, bonnet and boot are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing
Ábutton.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bon-
net and boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

Memorising driver’s seat positions
The buttons C allow three different driver’s seat positions to be
memorised and recalled.
To memorise a seat position, adjust it with the various controls,
then press the button where you want to memorise the position
for several seconds. The performed memorisation is confirmed by
a beep.
When a new seat position is memorised, the previously memorised
position on the same button is automatically overwritten.
To recall a memorised position, press the relevant button briefly.
IMPORTANT Electric adjustment is only possible with the ignition
key turned to MAR-ON and for approximately 1 minute after turn-
ing it to STOP. The seat (driver's side or passenger's side) can be
moved after opening the relevant door for about 3 minutes, or as
long as the door is re-closed.

DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
HEATED REAR WINDSCREEN
Press D button (() to turn the function on/off. The function is au-
tomatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
For versions/markets, where provided, pressing the
(button
also defrost/demist the external rearview mirrors, the heated wind-
screen (for versions/markets, where provided) and the heated
spray nozzles (for versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear
windscreen over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
AIR RECIRCULATION
Press F (v) button so that the LED on the button lights up. It
is advisable to switch air recirculation on while standing in traffic
or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if there are many
passengers on board, to prevent the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling conditions faster. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Turn E knob fig. 38 to manually select one of the four possible
air distribution settings in the passenger compartment:
xAir flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
sAir flow to the front and rear footwell vents. This air distrib-
ution allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up
quickly.
yAir flow distribution between front and rear vents, centre/side
dashboard vents, rear vent and windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting/defrosting vents.
rAir flow distribution to centre/side dashboard vents (pas-
senger’s body).

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.
A0K0083m
Four other positions are provided (see diagram below):
v(A Position) Air flow distribution between centre/side dash-
board vents, rear vent and windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents. This distribution setting ventilates
the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from
misting up.
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.
w(C Position) Air flow distribution between footwell vents
(warmer air) and centre/side dashboard vents and rear vent
(cooler air).
-(D Position) Automatic demisting/defrosting activation (see
description of the previous pages).

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM COMPRESSOR
Press C to turn the compressor on/off (the LED on the button will
light up when the compressor is on). 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 re-
circulation to prevent the windows from misting up and deactivates
the AQS function. In this case, although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the AUTO LED will go out.
The temperatures will flash for a few seconds if the required tem-
perature cannot be maintained.
To restore automatic control for switching on the climate control
compressor, press C button again or press the AUTO button.
With compressor off:
❍if the outside temperature is higher than the set one, the sys-
tem will not be able to satisfy the request. The temperature
value will then flash on the display for a few seconds;
❍the fan speed can be manually reset.
When the compressor is on and the engine is running, manual ven-
tilation cannot drop under the maximum speed (only one LED on).
IMPORTANT With the climate control compressor off, it is not pos-
sible to admit air into the passenger compartment with a tempera-
ture below the outside temperature; moreover, under certain envi-
ronmental conditions the windows could mist up very quickly since
the air cannot be dehumidified.
RAPID WINDOW DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
Press-to turn windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting
function on (LED on button lit). The climate control system carries
out the following operations:
❍switches on the climate control compressor when climatic con-
ditions allow;
❍turns air recirculation off;
❍sets maximum air temperature (HI) in both zones;
❍sets proper fan speed according to the engine coolant tem-
perature;
❍directs air flow to the windscreen and front side windows vents;
❍theheatedrearwindscreenisturnedon
❍shows fan speed (LED G lit).
IMPORTANT The MAX-DEF function will remain on for approximately
3 minutes from when the engine coolant reaches adequate tem-
perature.
The LED on the AUTO button will go out when the function is on.
With the function activated the only possible manual adjustments
are adjusting the fan speed and the turning the heated rear wind-
screen off. By pressing B, C,
-or AUTO buttons, the climate
control system will turn the MAX-DEF off.
