"ALFA DNA™"SYSTEM
"ALFA DNA™"SYSTEM
This device allows, using the selector (on
the central tunnel) fig. 106, different car
response modes to be selected according
to driving style and road conditions:
d = Dynamic (sports driving mode)
n = Normal (mode for driving in normal
conditions)
a = Advanced Efficiency (ECO driving
mode for maximum fuel savings).
On the instrument panel display, the
different modes are characterised by
different colours:
Normal - Blue,
Dynamic - Red
Advanced Efficiency - Green
DRIVING MODES
"Normal" Mode
Engagement/disengagement
It is activated by rotating the selector to
the letter "n", the displays light up in blue.
To deactivate the Normal mode, move
the selector to another mode ("d" or "a").
"Dynamic" Mode
Engagement/disengagement
It is activated by rotating the selector to
the letter "d", the displays light up in red.
To deactivate the Dynamic mode, move
the selector to "n", Normal mode.
"Advanced Efficiency" Mode
Engagement/disengagement
It is activated by rotating the selector to
the letter "a", the displays light up in
green.
To deactivate the Advanced Efficiency
mode, move the selector to "n", Normal
mode.
IMPORTANT NOTES
When the engine is next started, the
"Advanced Efficiency", "Dynamic" and
"Normal" mode selected previously is
retained. The system will reactivate in
"Advanced Efficiency", "Dynamic" or
"Normal" mode, depending on which
mode was selected before the engine
was stopped.
It is not possible to go directly from
"Dynamic" mode to "Advanced
Efficiency" mode and vice versa. You
must always activate the “Normal” mode
first and then select the other mode.

CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
25 mph (40 km/h) on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.
Going downhill, the system could brake
the car to keep the pre-set speed limit.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
111) 112) 113)
To activate the device press button
fig. 108.
The activation of the device is signalled
by the switching on of the white warning
light
on the display.
The Cruise Control function can remain
active concurrently with the Speed
Limiter system. If a speed limit below the
one indicated in the Cruise Control is
selected, the Cruise Control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
This function remains available (where
provided) in RACE mode.The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 3
rdgear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device on when it is not used. There is a
risk of inadvertently activating it and
losing control of the vehicle due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
activate the device;
when the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, raise/lower the SET
switch and release fig. 108 to activate
the device. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will keep the
selected speed automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing theaccelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhills with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before raising/lowering the
SET switch the vehicle must be travelling
at a constant speed on a flat surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING SPEED
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by lifting the SET
switch fig. 108.
Keeping the button (high/low) pressed,
the set speed will increase until the
button is released, then the new speed
will be stored.
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.
