TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL FEATURES
The “Trip computer” is used to display information on car opera-
tion when the key is turned to MAR. This function allows you to
define two separate trips called “Trip A” and “Trip B” to monitor
the car’s complete mission (trip) in a mutually independent man-
ner. Both functions can be reset (reset - start of new mission).
“Trip A” can be used to display figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average fuel consumption
– Instantaneous fuel consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
The “Trip B” function is used to display information relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average fuel consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
“Trip B” functions may be excluded (see paragraph on “Trip B on”).
“Range” and “Instantaneous fuel consumption” cannot be reset.

Values displayed
Range
Approximately indicates the distance the vehicle can travel with
the present amount of fuel in the tank.
The message “- - - -” will appear on the display in the following
cases:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with the engine running for a long time.
IMPORTANT Changes in the range value can be affected by many
factors: driving style, type of route (motorway, urban road, moun-
tain road, etc.), vehicle use conditions (load being carried, tyre
inflation pressure, etc.). The above notes should therefore be tak-
en into consideration when planning a trip.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start of the new
mission.
Average fuel consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel consumption from
the start of the new mission.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This indicates any change in fuel consumption. The value is con-
stantly updated. The message “- - - -” will appear on the display
if the car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the average speed of the car based on the overall
time elapsed since the start of the new mission.
Tr i p t i m e
This value shows the time elapsed since the start of the new mis-
sion.

Information displayed
Each time a value is displayed, the following information is shown:
❍animated icon in the upper part of the display (A-fig. 10);
❍the word “Trip” (or “Trip A” or “Trip B”) (B);
❍the name, value and unit of measurement of the selected pa-
rameter (e.g. “Range 1500 km”) (C).
After a few seconds the name and value of the selected parame-
ter is replaced by an icon (see fig. 11).The icons relating to the various parameters are as follows:
7EK”Range”;
o6“Average fuel consumption A” (if Trip A is active,
or “B” if Trip B is active);
pE7 6“Distance A” (if Trip A is active, or “B” if Trip B is
active);
oq“Instantaneous fuel consumption”;
86“Average speed A” (if Trip A is active, or “B” if Trip
B is active);
56“Trip time A” (if Trip A is active, or “B” if Trip B is
active);

Door and luggage compartment lock release
Briefly press button Ë: door and luggage compartment lock release,
timed lighting of interior courtesy lights and double flashing of di-
rection indicators (for versions/markets, where provided).
Door locks are automatically released in the event of the inter-
vention of the fuel cut-off system.
Once the doors are locked, if one or more doors or the luggage
compartment are not closed correctly, the led and direction indi-
cators start flashing quickly.
Door and luggage compartment locking
Briefly press button Á: door and luggage compartment locking with
switching off of interior courtesy lights and single flashing of di-
rection indicators (for versions/markets, where provided).
If one or more doors are open, the doors will not be locked. This
situation is indicated by a rapid flashing of the direction indicators
(for versions/markets, where provided). If the luggage compart-
ment is open, the doors will, however, be locked.
When a speed of over 20 km/h is reached, the doors are auto-
matically locked if this specific function was set (only on versions
with multi-functional reconfigurable display).
When locking the doors, led A-fig. 16 switches on for several sec-
onds and than starts flashing (deterrence function).
Opening the luggage compartment
Press the Rbutton to open the luggage compartment from a
distance. Luggage compartment opening is indicated by double
flashing of direction indicators.
REQUESTING ADDITIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote controls. If you ever
require a new remote control, contact an Alfa Romeo Authorised
Service and bring your CODE card (for versions/markets, where
provided), some ID and the vehicle ownership documents with you.

All these functions can be adjusted manually by operating the sys-
tem and selecting one or more functions and modifying their pa-
rameters. Automatic control of the manually changed functions
will be suspended: the system will only override your settings for
safety reasons.
Manual selections always have higher priority than automatic set-
tings and are stored until the user switches the system back to
automatic control by pressing AUTO, except for cases in which
the system intervenes for safety reasons.
You can adjust one function manually without affecting the auto-
matic control of the others. The amount of air introduced into the
passenger compartment is not affected by vehicle speed; it is elec-
tronically controlled by a fan. The air temperature is always auto-
matically controlled according to the temperature shown on the
display (except for when the system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is not running).
The system can be programmed manually :
❍air temperature on driver’s/passenger’s side;
❍fan speed (continuous variation);
❍air distribution to 7 positions (driver/passenger);
❍climate control compressor ON;
❍single-zone/two-zone distribution priority;
❍fast demisting/defrosting function;
❍air recirculation;
❍heated rear windscreen;
❍system deactivation. H AUTO function activation button (automatic operation) and pas-
senger-side temperature adjustment knob;
I air distribution button on passenger side;
L fan speed increase/decrease;
M Air distribution button on driver side;
N AUTO (automatic operation) function activation button and
knob for adjusting temperature on driver side.
DESCRIPTION
The two-zone automatic climate control system regulates the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment in two areas: the driver’s
side and the passenger’s side. In other words, the system keeps
the comfort level inside the car constant and compensates for any
variations in external conditions, including sun radiation detected
by a specific sensor.
The automatically controlled parameters and functions are:
❍air temperature delivered to driver/front passenger vents;
❍air distribution to driver/front passenger vents;
❍fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❍compressor fan on (for cooling/dehumidifying the air);
❍air recirculation.
