Deactivation
To deactivate “All Weather” mode and
return to “Natural”, move lever A fig. 47
upwards (to letter “d”) and keep it in
this position for half a second.
IMPORTANT
❒During the first 250 km of usage of
the car, the Dynamic and Race
modes are inhibited. Within this first
interval of start-up mileage it is
advisable to refrain from an
aggressive driving style, so that the
best gear shifting quality can be
achieved over time.
❒When the engine is next started, the
"All Weather" or "Dynamic" mode
selected previously is retained. The
system will reactivate in "All Weather"
or "Dynamic" mode, depending on
which mode was selected before the
engine was switched off.
❒When the engine is next started, the
"Race" mode selected previously is
not retained. The system will
reactivate in "Dynamic" mode.
❒It is not possible to go directly from
“Dynamic” mode to “All Weather”
mode and vice versa. You must
always first go back to “Natural”
mode and then select the other
mode.System failure
In the event of system failure or a fault
with lever A fig. 47, no driving modes
can be selected.
The display will become grey (same
screen as "Natural" mode) but without
an indication of the Alfa DNA setting.
The display will also show a warning
message.EOBD SYSTEM
(European On
Board Diagnosis)
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 efficiency of the system;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace
deteriorated components.
