RECONFIGURABLE MULTIFUNCTION
DISPLAY “STANDARD” SCREENThe following information appears on the display fig. 5:ATimeBTrip mileage (in km or miles)CMilometer (distance covered in km or miles)DCar status indications (e.g. doors open, possible ice on road,
etc.)/Start&Stop function indicator (for versions/markets, where
provided)/Gear Shift Indicator (for versions/markets, where
provided)EHeadlamp alignment position (only with dipped headlamps on)FOutside temperatureOn some versions, selecting “DYNAMIC” driving mode (see “Alfa DNA
system” paragraph in this section) causes the display to show the
turbine pressure fig. 6.
The instrument is calibrated for engines with higher supercharging
pressures. Therefore, on some versions, it is normal for end of scale to
be reached.fig. 5

ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF
“Dynamic” MODEEngagement
Move the lever A fig. 72 upwards (next 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 fig. 75).
Upon release, lever A returns to the central position.VDC and ASR:intervention thresholds for more enjoyable, sportier driving,
guaranteeing stability in case control of the car is lost. Improves
traction whilst accelerating on bends.
Steering wheel
tuning:
sports mode function.
DST:
standard braking control coordinated with ABS/VDC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration. Compensates oversteering
depending on the VDC/ASR intervention thresholds: a slight
movement on the steering wheel encourages the driver to carry
out the most appropriate manoeuvre.
Engine:
prompter response + Overboost to maximise torque (for
versions/markets, where provided).
In the 1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions, selecting “Dynamic” operating
mode activates the turbocharger supercharging function (overboost):
depending on the accelerator pedal position and for a limited 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.

❒disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, observing the
polarity;
❒turn on the battery charger;
❒when it is recharged, turn the charger off before disconnecting it
from the battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery terminal.
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop SYSTEMCharge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A fig. 155 (pressing the button B) from the
sensor C monitoring the battery conditions, on the negative pole D
of the battery;
❒connect the positive cable (+) of the battery charger to the battery
positive pole (+);
❒connect the negative cable (+) of the battery charger to the post D of
the battery negative pole (-);
❒turn on the battery charger;
❒when it is recharged, turn the charger off before disconnecting it
