SYMBOLS
Some car components have coloured
labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using
this component. Under the bonnet
there is also a label that summarises all
the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the car. It
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
There is an electronic device in each
key which can identify the signal
emitted, when the engine is started,
from an aerial built into the ignition
switch. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started, is the
“password” by means of which the
control unit recognises the key and
enables starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Alfa
Romeo CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to
the engine management control unit to
deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted by the
key.Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
management control unit.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
warning
light (on some versions a message
together with a symbol is shown on the
display) switches on in the instrument
panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come
with the car. If it is still not possible to
start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Activation of warning
light while driving
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) switches on, this means
that the system is running self-
diagnosis (caused, for example, by a
voltage drop).
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) stays on, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

During automatic operation, you can
change the set temperatures, air
distribution and fan speed at any time
by using the relevant buttons or knobs:
the system will automatically change
the settings to adjust to the new
requirements.
During fully automatic operation
(AUTO), the word AUTO will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or engagement of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULL will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or activation of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed.
In this way the climate control system
will continue to automatically manage
all functions except for those that have
been manually adjusted. The fan speed
is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.ADJUSTING THE AIR
TEMPERATURE
Turn knob A or L to the right or left to
adjust the air temperature: knob A
for the front left area, knob L for the
front right area of the passenger
compartment. The set temperatures are
shown on the displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air
temperature between the two areas.
Turn knob L to return to the separate
management of air temperatures in the
two areas.
Turn the knobs fully right or left to
engage HI (maximum heating) or LO
(maximum cooling) respectively. To
deactivate these functions, turn the
temperature knob to the desired
temperature.
SETTING THE AIR
DISTRIBUTION
By pressing the buttons (
//), it
is possible to set one of the 7 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window diffusers to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell diffusers. This air
distribution setting heats the
passenger compartment most
quickly, giving a prompt sensation
of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting
diffusers. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to warm up
efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.
Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/
defrosting diffusers and side
and central dashboard vents.
This allows air to be sent to
the windscreen in conditions of
strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all
vents on the car.

❒forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off, air drawn in from the
outside): indicated by the LED on
buttons
switching off and text A
on button B off.
Forced activation/deactivation can be
selected by pressing button
.
When the
button is pressed (button
E off), the climate control system
automatically activates internal air
recirculation (LED on
button A
on). It is still possible to activate outside
air recirculation (LED on the button off)
and vice versa, by pressing button
.
The AQS (Air Quality System) function
(for versions/markets, where provided)
cannot be activated when the
button
is pressed (LED on button E off).
AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The AQS function automatically
activates internal air recirculation when
the outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic
queues and tunnels).IMPORTANT With the AQS function
active, after a preset time interval of the
internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system
enables the intake of outside air for
approximately one minute to change
the air in the passenger compartment.
This takes place regardless of the
pollution level of the outside air.
IMPORTANT The engagement of the
recirculation system makes it possible
to reach the required heating/cooling
conditions faster. It is, however,
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days
as it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting
up inside (especially if the climate
control system is off). When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is
forced off (air drawn in from the outside)
to prevent the windows from misting
up.
In automatic operation, recirculation is
managed automatically by the system
according to outside environmental
conditions.
IMPORTANT It is advisable not to use
the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low to
prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.CLIMATE CONTROL
COMPRESSOR
Press button C to activate/deactivate
the compressor (activation is indicated
by the lit LED on the button). The
system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is switched off
the system deactivates air recirculation
to prevent the windows from misting
up and deactivates the AQS function
(for versions/markets, where provided).
In this case, although the climate
control system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature,
the AUTO LED switches off. The
temperatures will flash for a few
seconds if the required temperature
cannot be maintained.
To restore automatic control of
compressor engagement, press again
button C or the AUTO button.
With compressor off:
❒if the outside temperature is higher
than the set one, the system will
not be able to satisfy the request.
The temperature values will then flash
on the display for a few seconds to
indicate this;
❒the fan speed can be reset manually.

direction indicator on the side selected
will flash five times and then switch
off automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE
This device allows you to illuminate the
area in front of the car for a certain
amount of time.Activation
With the key turned to STOP or
removed, pull stalk A towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights
stay on for an extra 30 seconds up to
a maximum of 210 seconds; then
the lights are switched off automatically.
Also, each time the stalk is operated,
the
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on. The
display shows the time set for the
function and the corresponding
graphics.
The warning light comes on when the

versions/markets, where
provided) (the windscreen wipers
adapt the operating speed
automatically to suit the intensity
of the rain)
intermittent operation;
continuous slow operation;
continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation to the time
for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
wiper will be automatically stopped.
"Smart washing"
function
Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer. Keep the stalk
pulled for more than half a second to
operate the windscreen washer jet and
wiper automatically with a single
movement.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infrared LED sensor fitted
on the car windscreen fig. 33.
It is able to detect the presence of rain
and consequently manage windscreen
wiping in accordance with the amount
of water on the windscreen.
Activation
The sensor is activated when ring nut A
fig. 32 is turned to “automatic” position
(“AUTO” control): the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in
accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen.
This frequency can vary from no stroke
(no rain - windscreen dry) up to the
2
ndconstant speed operation (heavy
rain - windscreen wet).The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted through the Setup menu
(see paragraph “Menu Items” in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
section).
If the engine is stopped with the lever in
“automatic” position, when it is next
started no wiping cycle will take place
even if it is raining. This prevents
accidental activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (e.g. when
the windscreen is being washed by
hand or the wipers are stuck to the
windscreen when there is ice).
To restore automatic operation of the
rain sensor, turn the ring nut on the
right stalk A fig. 32 from automatic
position (AUTO) toOposition and then
turn A ring nut back to the AUTO
position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated
using any of the manoeuvres described
above, reactivation is indicated by a
single stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.
If the sensitivity is changed whilst the
rain sensor is operating, a windscreen
wiper stroke is carried out to confirm
the change.
