AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain sensor and located on
the windscreen, detects the variations in outside brightness depending
on the light sensitivity set with the Set-up Menu: the greater the
sensitivity, the less external light is required to activate the exterior
lights.Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 33 is turned to
.In
this way the side lights and dipped headlights are activated
automatically according to the external light level.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog.
Therefore under these circumstances, these lights must be turned on
manually.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be
turned on.
When the lights are automatically switched off, the front and rear fog
lights (if activated) are also switched off. The next time the lights are
switched on automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated manually
(if required).
With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the
main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to turn these
lights on, turn ring nut A to position
and turn the dipped
headlights on.
When the lights have been activated automatically and are then
switched off by the sensor, the dipped beam headlights are switched
off first, followed by the side lights a few seconds later.
If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched on irrespective of the outside
light level and the sensor failure is indicated on the instrument panel
display.
It is also possible to deactivate the sensor and switch on these lights if
necessary.

FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT(for versions/markets, where provided)
To check and, if necessary, adjust, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROADThe dipped headlights are aligned to comply with the regulations of
the country of purchase. When travelling in countries with opposite
driving direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other side of the
road, you need to cover areas of the headlight according to the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.
ABS SYSTEMThe car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which prevents the wheels
from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip and gives
the best control when performing emergency braking under difficult
road conditions.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution) completes the
system allowing the brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of the braking system,
a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: during this period
it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTIONIt can be detected because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: it means that the car speed should be altered
to suit the type of road surface.
