Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after disconnecting the battery or if
the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❒fully close the window to initialise with manual operation;
❒after the window has reached the upper end of travel, hold down
the closing control for at least 1 second.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same type and
power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is
intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to
the paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this section.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metal part
only. Touching the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted light and
even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are
not carried out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which may
cause small fragments of glass to be projected
outwards if the bulb is broken.
Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge
bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of death! Contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after heavy rain or
washing, the surface of headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or
form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the glass which does not indicate
a fault and does not compromise the normal operation of lighting
devices. The mist disappears quickly when the lights are turned on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending progressively towards
the edges.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATIONFuses protect the electrical system: they intervene (blow) in the event of
a failure or improper intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition of its protective
fuse: the conductor element A fig. 148 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with the same
amperage (same colour).
B = undamaged fuse.
C = fuse with damaged filament.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services should the
fuse blow again.
Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.Remove the key from the ignition switch and switch off
all loads before replacing a fuse.Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services if a safety
system (air bags, brakes), engine system (engine,
gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.

FUSE LOCATIONFuses are grouped together in three fuse boxes located in the engine
compartment, dashboard and luggage compartment.
Engine compartment fuse box
This is located next to the battery: to access the fuses fig. 150, undo
screws A fig. 149 and remove cover B.
The number identifying the electrical component corresponding to each
fuse is on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you close cover B on the fuse box.
If you have to wash the engine compartment, take care not
to aim the jet of water directly at the fuse box or
windscreen wiper motors.
