IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 21:
❍STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked. Some
electric devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) can work;
❍MAR: driving position. All electric devices can work;
❍ON: starting the engine.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine
will not start, before the starting operation can be repeated.
fig. 21A0K0063m
If the ignition switch is tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it checked over by an Alfa
Romeo Authorised Service Provider as soon as pos-
sible.
Always remove the key when you leave your car
to prevent someone from accidentally operating
the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage 1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or reverse if the
car is parked downhill. Never leave children unattended
in the car.
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly and turn the ignition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-
market operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device). This could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the non-
compliance of the car with approval requirements.
Never remove the key while the car is moving. The
steering wheel should lock automatically as soon
as it is turned. This also applies to when the car is
towed.

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.

BATTERY
The electrolyte of the battery G-fig. 161-162-163-164 does not
need to be topped up with distilled water. A periodic check carried
out at Alfa Romeo Authorized Services is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When necessary, replace the battery with another original battery
with the same specifications. Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.
ADVICE FOR PROLONGING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid rapidly draining your battery and to prolong its life, ob-
serve the following indications:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet
are closed properly in order to avoid the courtesy lights re-
maining on for longer than necessary;
❍turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have an au-
tomatic system for switching off internal lights;
❍do not leave devices (e.g. car radio, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the engine is not running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical system, dis-
connect the battery negative terminal.
IMPORTANT The steering system will need to be initialised after dis-
connecting the battery. A warning light
gwill come on to indi-
cate this. Simply turn the steering wheel all the way to one end
or simply drive on a straight line for a few hundred metres.
