WARNING
115)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow
speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
IMPORTANT
47)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while cleaning
it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
camera must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations which use
steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do
not apply stickers to the camera.

STARTING AND DRIVING

make sure that switch 5 fig. 139 of
the compressor is in position O (OFF);
insert the plug into the socket on the
central tunnel, start the engine;
start the compressor, placing the
switch 5 fig. 139 to position I (ON);
inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Rims and Tyres”
paragraph (see “Technical data” chapter).
In order to obtain a more precise reading,check the pressure value on pressure
gauge 6 fig. 139 with the compressor off;
if after 15 minutes pressure is not at
least 1.8 bar (26 psi), disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
socket, then move the vehicle forwards
approx. five tyre turns in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
if you still cannot obtain a pressure of
at least 1,8 bar (26 psi) within
15 minutes from the compressor
switching on, do not drive off and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership;
after having driven for about 5 mph
(8 km), stop, engage the electric parking
brake and recheck the tyre pressure;
if the pressure is less than 1.8 bar
(26 psi), do not go back into gear but see
an Alfa Romeo dealer;
if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
(26 psi) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake), resume driving
immediately and drive with great care to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
SEALANT BOTTLE REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT Only use original cartridges,
which can be purchased at an Alfa Romeo
dealership.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the tank 1 fig. 140 pressingthe unhooking button 9;
insert the new tank pressing it
downwards hard.
WARNING
127)Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the Tire Repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
128)Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Tire Repair kit.
129)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the Tire
Repair Kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking.
130)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Tire Repair Kit. Give

The positive pole (+) can be accessed by
removing the cover fig. 142
open protective flap fig. 143.The pole is shown in fig. 144.
To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect the
auxiliary battery to the remote poles of
the flat battery. Usually, these cables
have terminals at the ends and are
identified by different sheath colours
(red = positive, black = negative).
JUMP STARTING
136) 137) 138)
Proceed as follows:
switch off all electrical devices in the
vehicle;
engage the parking brake, move the
lever to P (Park), for versions equipped
with automatic transmission, or neutral,
for versions with manual gearbox, then
set the ignition device to STOP;
should you be using the battery of
another vehicle, park the other vehicle
within the range of the cables used for
the connection, operate the parking
brake and ensure that its ignition is off.
IMPORTANT If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, check that
there is no accidental contact of metal
parts between the two vehicles, since an
earth connection may result, with the risk
of serious injury to any people who may
be nearby.
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the instructions
given below.

take the tow hook from its housing in
the boot and carefully clean the threaded
housing on the vehicle before using it;
tighten the vehicle's tow hook in its
place for about 11 turns.
IMPORTANT The largest work angle of
the cable to fix on the tow hook must not
exceed 15°, as shown in fig. 147.
WARNING
140)Move the ignition device to ON and
then to STOP, without opening the door.
141)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, you must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the car. Before tightening the
ring, clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully screwed into
the housing before towing the car.

transmissions, automatic activation of P
(Park mode) must be disabled. You have
to switch off the engine in the following
conditions: car stopped, gear in N
(Neutral), press the starter button. The
car will remain in N (Neutral) for
15 minutes, after which P (Park) mode
will be activated.
IMPORTANT
71)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
72)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes should
not be used for cleaning the car. Bird
droppings must be washed off immediately
and thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to remove
them with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could alter
the typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.

ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has been
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret code
according to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits,
from 0 to 9: to insert the first digit of the
code, turn the Rotary Pad and press to
confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the Rotary Pad:
the system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, thesystem displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays "Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Wait for 30 min.".
After the text has disappeared it is
possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the
system. The vehicle radio passport shows
the system model, serial number and
secret code.
In the event that the radio passport is
lost, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you can
give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look at
the screen for a long time, pull over to a
safe place so as not to be distracted
while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in the
event of a fault. Otherwise the system
might be damaged. Contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system repaired.
