DISPLAYThe car may be provided with a multifunction/reconfigurable
multifunction display that shows useful information to the user,
according to the previous settings, when driving.
With the ignition key removed, the display activates and shows the

when a door is opened/closed.

There are also another 4 positions (see diagram below fig. 37):
(Position A) Air flow distribution between centre/side dashboard
vents, rear diffuser and windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting ventilates
the passenger compartment well and prevents the windows
from misting up.(Position B) Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to
warm up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.(Position C) Air flow distribution between footwell diffusers (hotter
air) and centre/side dashboard diffusers and rear diffuser
(cooler air).(Position D) Automatic demisting/defrosting activation (see
description in previous pages).
START&STOPManual climate control
If the Start&Stop function is activated (engine off when the car speed is
zero), the system keeps the air flow selected by the user.
In these conditions, the compartment cooling and heating cannot be
guaranteed, as the compressor stops with the engine coolant pump.
The Start&Stop function can be deactivated to enhance the operation
of the climate control system by pressing the dedicated button on
the dashboard.
NoteIn winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least
once a month for about 10 minutes. Have the system checked by
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services before summer.SERVICING MAINTENANCEIn winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least once a

When the outside temperature is low, the system could automatically
turn the compressor on and turn air recirculation off for safer driving.TURNING THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM OFFPress the
button (LED on button off).
With climate control off:
❒air recirculation is on, thus isolating the passenger compartment
from the outside;
❒the compressor is off;
❒the fan is off;
❒the heated rear window can be switched on or off;
❒the AQS (Air Quality System) function cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The climate control system control unit stores the
temperatures set before the system was switched off and restores them
when any button of the system is pressed (except for button D).
To restart the climate control system in fully automatic mode press the
AUTO button.
START&STOPAutomatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system manages the Start&Stop function
(engine off when speed is zero) to ensure adequate comfort inside
the car.
Specifically, the Start&Stop function is turned off when the weather is
particularly hot or cold to guarantee an adequate level of comfort
inside the passenger compartment; therefore, the engine will not be
stopped during these transient conditions, even if the speed is zero.When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off at zero car speed),
the climate control system will request the reactivation of the engine
if the inside temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if the user
requests maximum cooling – LO – or quick demisting – MAX DEF).
With the Start&Stop function on (engine off at zero speed), air flow is
reduced to the minimum to maintain comfort conditions inside the
passenger compartment as long as possible when the system is in
AUTO mode (LED N on).
The climate control system control unit attempts to manage the
discomfort caused by the engine stopping (compressor and engine
coolant pump off) but operation of the climate control system can be
enhanced by turning the Start&Stop off by pressing the dedicated
button on the dashboard.
NoteIn particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to
limit the use of the Start&Stop function to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells in the
passenger compartment.
NoteWhen the Start&Stop function is on (engine off and vehicle
speed zero), the automatic recirculation management is turned off
always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of window
misting up (as the compressor is off).
ADDITIONAL HEATER(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger compartment to be heated more quickly in
cold weather conditions. The additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions are achieved.

START&STOP SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the efficiency of the car is increased, by reducing
consumption, emissions of harmful gases and noise pollution.OPERATING MODESEngine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox in neutral and
clutch pedal released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped automatically over about 10
km/h, to prevent the engine from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The
fig. 88 symbol appears on the display when the engine stops.Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
SYSTEM MANUAL ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATIONTo activate/deactivate the system manually, press the

Start&Stop system activation
Start&Stop system activation is signalled by a message on the display.
In this condition, the LED A fig. 89 on the
button is off.
