ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to
comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine does not stop
in some conditions, among which
10):
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control (for
versions/markets, where provided), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort
has not been reached or with
MAX-DEF function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, under special conditions, such
as:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on
roads with a gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop
system for over 3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control system (for
versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal
comfort has not been reached or
MAX-DEF function activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully
depressing the clutch pedal. The driver
is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and -
for versions/markets, where provided -
by the flashing of the symbol
.Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3
minutes after the engine stops, the
engine can be restarted only using the
ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and
this is not desired, due for example to
the clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is activated, the engine can
be restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal or by placing the gear lever
in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the
Start&Stop system, if the driver releases
his/her seat belt and opens the driver's
or passenger's door, the engine can
be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer
and by the flashing of the symbol
on
the display; on some versions, a
message is displayed as well.

"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting,
the driver does not carry out any
action on the car for over 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system stops the engine
once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the
engine can be restarted only using the
ignition key.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
Start&Stop system.IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Start&Stop system is deactivated.
The driver is informed of the fault by the
flashing
symbol (versions with
multifunction display) or
symbol
(versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display). For versions/
markets where provided, a message is
also displayed.
In this case, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.CAR INACTIVITY
In the event of car inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection
of the battery power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach connector
A fig. 83 (by pressing button B) from
sensor C for monitoring the status
of the battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.
48)
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP, wait at least 1 minute
before disconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery.83

iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is anyway
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS system needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions) which starts when the
RESET procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning light
may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at
MAR-ON, press the button
fig. 86 on
the dashboard for 2 seconds; after
the RESET, the display shows the
message "RESET SAVED", indicating
that the "self-learning" has started.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
50) 51) 52) 53) 54) 55)
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations (such as sporty
driving, winter climate or unmade
roads) the signalling may be delayed.
Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, fitting
snow chains, fitting different tyres on
the axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
warning light flashes for about 75
seconds and then is continuously on; at
the same time, the display shows the
message "TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING NOT AVAILABLE".
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
WARNING
50) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
51) iTPMS does not relieve the
driver from the obligation to check
the tyre pressure every month; it
is not even to be considered a
replacing system for maintenance
or a safety system.
52) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even though it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
53) The iTPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.54) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
55) An insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity of driving
safely.

EOBD SYSTEM
(European On
Board Diagnosis)(for versions/markets, where provided)
Operation
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on
the display, when these components
are no longer in peak condition (see
“Warning lights and messages”
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace
damaged components.The car also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools,
that makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control
units together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic control
authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to
check the system completely, the Alfa
Romeo Dealership is obliged to run
tests and, if necessary, road tests
which may also require a long journey.
DUAL PINION
ACTIVE STEERINGOperation
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR-ON and the engine started.
The steering allows the force required
at the steering wheel to be adjusted
to suit driving conditions. The different
power assistance modes can be
selected via the d, n, a positions of the
“Alfa DNA System” lever (see paragraph
entitled “Alfa DNA System”).
56)
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The warning light switches on
to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the
other or drive in a straight line for about
a hundred metres.

INDICATIONS ON
DISPLAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Versions with rear sensors
When the sensor is activated, the
"Reconfigurable multifunction display"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
shows the screen illustrated in fig. 92.
Versions with front and rear sensors
When the sensors are activated, the
screen in fig. 93 appears on the
"Reconfigurable multifunction display".
Obstacle presence and distance
information is therefore provided both
by the buzzer and the indication on the
display.If there are several obstacles, the
closest one is displayed. On the version
with front and rear sensors, the closest
obstacle in the front area and in the
rear area is displayed.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the
presence and distance of an obstacle
from the car is transmitted to the driver
by means of acoustic signals from
buzzers installed in the passenger
compartment:
❒in the versions with rear sensors,a
buzzer in the front dashboard area
warns of the presence of obstacles at
rear;❒in the versions with front and rear
sensors, a front buzzer warns of
the presence of obstacles at the front
and a buzzer located at the rear
warns of the presence of obstacles at
the rear. This permits the driver to
perceive the direction (front/rear) of
the obstacles.
Depending on the position of the
obstacle (in front or at the rear) the
sound is emitted by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle
closest to the car is signalled.
When reverse gear is engaged an
acoustic signal is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within
the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❒increasesas distance between the
car and the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuouswhen the
distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance
increases;
❒is constantif the distance is unvaried;
if this situation occurs for the side
sensors, the signal will stop after
about 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres alongside walls.92

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:
catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and
evaporation control system
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust
gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
62)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all carbon particle
emissions in compliance with
current/future regulations and
standards.During standard use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be periodically
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according
to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a
limited increase in the engine idle
speed, fan activation, a limited increase
in fumes and high temperatures at the
exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
normal car performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, in chapter "Knowing the
instrument panel".
WARNING
62) The catalytic converter and
particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not park
the car on flammable materials
(e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine
needles, etc.): fire hazard.
