GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new car
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made
and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 10

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation to the time
for which the stalk is held manually
in this position. When released, the
stalk will return to its initial position and
the screen wiper will be stopped
automatically.
With ring nut A fig. 23 in
position,
the screen wiper will automatically
adapt its operating speed to the speed
of the car.
"Smart washing"
function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
screen washer. Keeping the stalk pulled
for more than half a second, with just
one movement it is possible to operate
the screen washer jet and the wiper
at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.
WARNING
12) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the screen wiper may
be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor cut-out switch,
which prevents operation for
a few seconds, may intervene. If
operation is not subsequently
restored (even after using the key
to restart the engine), contact
the dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
13) Do not operate the screen wiper with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.
CRUISE CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows
the desired car speed to be
maintained, without having to press
the accelerator pedal. This device
can be used at a speed above
30 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to
use this device on extra-urban roads
with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Activation
Turn ring nut A fig. 24 to
.
