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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

The device cannot be engaged in 1stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage
it in 5
thgear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed
the stored speed.
The
warning light and, for
versions/markets, where provided,
message on the display are switched
on to indicate activation.
STORING THE CAR
SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 34 to ON and
press the accelerator to reach the
required speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed is now stored and you can
therefore release the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you
release the pedal, the car goes back to
the speed stored previously.RESTORING THE
MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the
stored speed can be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is
reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
❒press the RES button (B fig. 34).
INCREASING THE
MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
storing the new speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+) until
the new speed, which will be stored
automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to an increase in speed of
about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held upwards will continuously increase
the speed.REDUCING THE
MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–)
until the new speed, which will be
stored automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the lever
corresponds to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
TURNING THE DEVICE
OFF
The device can be deactivated in the
following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A fig. 34 to the
OFF position
❒by switching off the engine;

WARNING
48) When replacing the battery,
always contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should
have the same characteristics.
49) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the engine is off
and that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the dedicated
label on the front crossmember
(fig. 85). We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the car.
The car should always be left after
the key has been removed or
turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the
ignition key is in the STOP
position).
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: optimal conditions being
RESET procedure is 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 lightmay
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 a
dedicated message, indicating that the
"self-learning" has started.

INDICATOR)
This shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
This indicates the engine rpm.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light in the gauge lights up
when there are only 8 to 10 litres of
fuel remaining in the tank; if this
happens, refuel as soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts supplying
indications when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
assumes different positions within
the scale depending on the usage
conditions.
The warning light turns on to indicate
an overheating of the engine coolant. In
this case, stop the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A"
and "Trip B", where the car's
"complete missions" (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
“Trip A” is used to display the figures
relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average fuel consumption
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
