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.................14

the desired comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, it
takes a few minutes to achieve
optimum passenger compartment
heating.
FAST DEMISTING /
DEFROSTING OF
WINDSCREEN AND SIDE
WINDOWS
Proceed as follows:turn knob A to the red section;
turn knob C to 4 (maximum fan
speed);
turn knob D to;
bring cursor B to.
After demisting/defrosting, operate the
controls as normal to restore the
required comfort conditions.
Window demisting
In the event of considerable external
moisture and/or rain and/or large
differences in temperature inside and
outside the passenger compartment,
perform the following preventive
window demisting procedure:
bring cursor B to;
turn knob A to the red section;
turn knob C to 2 (intermediate fan
speed);
turn knob D towith the
possibility of moving it to position
if
window misting does not occur.
VENTILATION
To ventilate the passenger
compartment properly, proceed as
follows:
fully open the vents and direct them
appropriately;
turn knob A to the blue section;
bring cursor B to;
turn knob C to the desired speed;
turn knob D to;
INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Bring cursor B to.
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are two people on
board, to prevent the windows from
misting.
IMPORTANT The internal air
recirculation system makes it possible
to reach the required heating or
ventilation conditions more quickly. Do
not use the internal air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days to avoid the
possibility of the windows misting.

IMPORTANT The climate control
system is very useful for speeding up
and maintaining demisting since it
dehumidifies the air. Adjust the controlsas described previously and switch on
the climate control system by pressing
button E.

rapid cooling, turn knob C to 4
(maximum fan speed).
bring cursor B to;
turn knob D to;
press button E.
Cooling adjustment
Proceed as follows:bring cursor B to;
turn knob A toward the red section
to increase the temperature;
turn knob C anticlockwise to reduce
the fan speed.

tyre low pressure control warning lightswitches on constantly, the inflation
pressure must be adjusted until it
reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the car for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20 km/h
to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
NOTE
The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can result
in tyre failure. The low inflation pressure
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life
and may also affect handling and
braking performance of the car.
The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure Ifthis drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.

pressure warnings
46) 47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52) 53) 54)
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on in the
instrument panel and by displaying
dedicated messages.In this case, stop the car as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure of
each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the car.
The system will automatically update
and after receiving the tyre pressure
update the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the car for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20 km/h
to allow the system to receive this
information.TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
dedicated warning lightwhich first
flashes for 75 seconds and then stays
on steadily. This can occur in any of the
following situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
redGEARBOX FAILURE
The digital warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The digital warning light flashes (together with a
message in the display and an acoustic signal) to
indicate that the transmission is faulty.
The digital warning light can light up even in the event of
transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding
use. In this case an engine performance limitation is
carried out.Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
If it is necessary to start the engine with a
gearbox/transmission failure, follow the procedure
described in the "Using the gearbox/transmission"
paragraph, "Starting the engine" section in the "Starting
and driving" chapter.
redDOOR OPEN
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The digital warning light on the display switches on
when one or more doors are not properly shut. An
acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and the
car moving.
amberBRAKE PAD WEAR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The digital warning light on the display switches on
when the front or rear brake pads are worn.
The display shows the dedicated message.Have them replaced as soon as possible.
amberALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The digital warning light switches on in the display
(together with a message) to indicate Alfa Romeo CODE
system failure.Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
GENERAL FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol lights up in the display in the circumstances
indicated below.
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
The symbol lights up when the engine oil pressure
sensor is faulty. The display shows the dedicated
message.In this case contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the fault fixed as soon as possible.
Clutch overheating message
The
symbol, together with a message on the display,
lights up to indicate clutch overheating.
If the driver continues, thesymbol will switch
off and the
warning light will light up (on some
versions together with a message on the display)
to indicate a transmission failure.
If thesymbol lights up along with a message on the
display, reduce gear shifting and/or change usage
conditions, until the normal operating conditions are
restored.
If the
warning light lights up (a message will appear
on the display, on some versions) stop immediately,
operate the handbrake, switch off the engine and wait 5
minutes: after this, normal transmission operating
conditions will be restored.
Should the transmission failure condition persist,
contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership
FUEL CUT-OFF
The symbol and the corresponding message are shown
on the display in the following cases:
fuel cut-off system intervention: the yellow
symbol lights up;
fuel cut-off system failure: the red symbol
lights up.
For the fuel cut-off system reactivation procedure, refer
to the "Fuel Cut-Off System" section of the "Controls"
paragraph, in the "Knowing your car" chapter. If it is still
not possible to restore the fuel supply, contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
