VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
WARNING
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership, whose personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or
whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the car in the context of after-sales service must carry the following label.
Alfa Romeo authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a
workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the
vehicle. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related
to it.
Alfa Romeo shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Alfa
Romeo and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile
phone Manufacturer.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical
systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.

“Alfa DNA” SYSTEM
(Dynamic car
control system)
This device allows, using lever A
fig. 47 (on the central tunnel), four car
response modes to be selected
according to driving style and road
conditions:
d=DynamicorRace(sports driving
mode);
n=Natural(mode for driving in
normal conditions);
a=All Weather(mode for driving in
poor grip conditions, such as rain and
snow).
The device also acts on the dynamic
car control systems (engine,
gearbox/transmission, ESC system).
DRIVING MODES
Lever A is monostable type. In other
words, it always remains in a central
position.
The selected driving mode is indicated
by the corresponding LED switching on
in the panel and by an indication on the
display.
“Natural” MODE
It is a manufacturer-recommended
mode aimed at comfort and safety in
normal grip and driving conditions.
ESC and ASR systems:intervention
thresholds aimed at providing comfort
and safety in normal grip and driving
conditions.
"Electronic Q2" system:the system
is calibrated to ensure the best driving
comfort.
Engine and gearbox/transmission:
standard response.
“Dynamic” MODE
Activation
Move the lever A fig. 47 upwards (to the
letter “d”) and hold in this position for
half a second, until the corresponding
LED lights up and the "Dynamic" mode
activation indicator appears on the
display.
When "Dynamic" mode is activated, the
turbocharger pressure (bar) and engine
oil temperature (°C) screen is displayed
automatically fig. 49:
When released, lever A will return to the
central position.
ESC and ASR systems:intervention
thresholds that ensure more enjoyable,
sportier driving whilst guaranteeing the
stability of the car.
"Electronic Q2" system:the system
is calibrated to increase traction whilst
accelerating on bends, improving the

authorises the installation of transceiver
devices on condition that such
installations are carried out in a
workmanlike fashion, following the
manufacturer’s instructions, at a
specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either

Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not
be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not
supplied or recommended by Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the
provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices
inside the passenger compartment
(without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle’s electronic systems to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers' health.
As far as the use of EC-approvedmobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.
WARNING
44)Take care when fitting additional
spoilers or non-standard alloy wheels: they
could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency in sharp, repeated
braking or on long descents. Make sure
that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc.).
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located in the rear bumper
fig. 53 and their function is to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the car; they consequently
inform the driver, through an intermittent
acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the car gets closer, the
acoustic signal becomes more
frequent.

INTERIORS
137) 138)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, also to
prevent damage to carbon parts.
To remove and reposition the mats in
the passenger compartment, proceed
as follows:
undo the screws with folding ring A
fig. 135, driver side and passenger side;
separate the Velcro fabric strips B in
the front area under the mats, lifting
them from the floor.
Reposition the mats on the floor,
making sure that the holes at the back
of the mats coincide with the screw
housings on the floor.
To reposition, proceed as follows:
tighten the screws with folding ring A
fig. 135 in the housings on the floor;
unite the Velcro fabric strips of themats with those on the floor, taking care
to apply light pressure and ensure that
the fastening is efficient.
139)
SEATS AND FABRIC OR
MICROFIBRE PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. For better cleaning of
microfibre trim (including the steering
wheel, for versions/markets, where
provided) we advise you to moisten the
brush. Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or
slightly damp cloth, without exerting too
much pressure. Remove any liquid or
grease stains using an absorbent dry
cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with
a soft cloth or chamois moistened with
water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products used
contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.
PLASTIC, CARBON AND
COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic and visible carbon
parts with a damp cloth (if possible
made from microfibre), and a solution of
water and neutral, non-abrasive
detergent. To clean oily or persistent
stains, use specific products free from
solvents and designed to maintain the
original appearance and colour of the
components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre
cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean the
instrument panel display.
LEATHER PARTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to
clean these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products. Before using a
specific product for cleaning interiors,
make sure that it does not contain
alcohol and/or alcohol based
substances.
