IGNITION DEVICEThe key can be turned to three different positions fig. 19:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system that requires the
ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start,
before the starting operation can be repeated.
If the ignition switch is tampered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services before driving again.
Always remove the key when you leave the car to
prevent someone from accidentally operating the
controls. Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children unattended in the car.
STEERING LOCKEngagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly and turn the ignition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with
type-approval requirements.Never remove the key while the car is moving. The
steering wheel will lock as soon as it is turned. This
holds true for cars being towed as well.

SOUND-SYSTEM

AUDIO SOURCE MEMORY FUNCTIONIf another function (e.g. the radio) is selected whilst listening to a
CD, playback is interrupted and is resumed from the same point
when returning to the CD source.
If another function is selected whilst listening to the radio, the last
station selected is tuned into when returning to Radio mode.VOLUME ADJUSTMENTTo adjust the volume, turn the ON/OFF knob.
If the volume level is changed during the transmission of traffic
news, the new setting will only be maintained until the update is
finished.
MUTE/PAUSE FUNCTION
(zeroing the volume)Press the
button briefly to activate the Mute function. The volume
will gradually decrease and the words “RADIO Mute” (in radio
mode) or “PAUSE” (in CD mode) will be displayed.
Press thebutton again to deactivate the Mute function. The
volume will gradually increase until it reaches the level set
previously.
When the volume level is changed using the dedicated controls, the
Mute function is deactivated and the volume is adjusted to the new
level selected.
With the Mute function activated, it will be ignored when there is
an incoming traffic alert (if the TA function is activated), or if an
emergency alarm is received. The function will be reactivated when
the alert is over.

SOUND-SYSTEM

AUX (only with theBlue&Me™
system)(for versions/markets, where provided)INTRODUCTIONThis section describes the variants regarding the operation of the
AUX source: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer
to the description in the “Functions and Adjustments” section.AUX MODETo activate the AUX source, press the MEDIA button or the SRC
control on the steering wheel several times until the corresponding
source is displayed.IMPORTANT
The functions of the device connected to the AUX socket are directly
managed by the device itself; it is not possible to change
track/folder/playlist with radio or steering wheel controls.
Do not leave the cable of your portable player connected to the
AUX socket after disconnection, to avoid possible hiss from the
speakers.
NOTE The AUX socket is not incorporated in the radio. For its
position, refer to theBlue&Me™ Supplement and its Quick
Guide.
