112GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF
“Dynamic” MODE
Engagement
Move lever A-fig. 70 upwards (to the letter “d”) and hold in this
position for 0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED lights up or
the word “Dynamic” appears on the display (see diagrams). Up-
on release, lever A returns to the central position.
Disengagement
To disengage “Dynamic” mode and return to “Normal”, move
the lever as described above once again. In this case, the LED cor-
responding to “Normal” mode will light up and the words “Normal
engaged” will appear on the reconfigurable multifunctional display
(see diagram).

VDCandASR: Sporty calibration, intervention only in the event
of loss of control
Steering wheel tuning: Sportier calibration
DST: Standard control of the brakes coordinated with ABS
More control of side acceleration
Steering wheel compensation: a slight pulse on the steer-
ing wheel tells on the driver to make a better manoeuvre
Engine: Higher response speed + Overboost to maximise torque
speed (where provided)In the 1.4 Turbo Multi Air versions, selecting the "Dynamic" oper-
ation mode activates the turbocharger supercharging function (over-
boost): depending on the accelerator pedal position and for a lim-
ited time, the engine management control unit allows the system
to generate maximum pressure levels inside the turbocharger and
the engine torque can reach higher values than usual. This function
is particularly useful whenever maximum performance is required
for a short time (e.g. when overtaking).
IMPORTANT When the "Dynamic" function is used, during acceler-
ation the steering may shudder, which is typical of a sports setting.

- only use spark plugs specifically certified for1.4 Turbo Petrol, 1.4 Multi Air and 1.4 Turbo Multi Air engines; all spark plugs
should be of the same type and brand (see the “Engine” paragraph);
- adhere strictly to the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this carried out by an Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
Thousands of kilometres
Check exhaust emissions
Check engine management system operation (via diagnostic socket)
Replace auxiliary drive belt/s
Replace toothed timing drive belt (*)
Replace spark plugs 1
Replace air filter cartridge
Change engine oil and oil filter (or every 24 months) 2
Change brake fluid (or every 24 months)
Change pollen filter (or every 24 months)
(*) Regardless of the number of kilometres covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
