KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

the system and must not be regarded as
faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the vehicle is driven on a
track, the system must be deactivated to
avoid unnecessary warnings. Automatic
deactivation is signalled by the dedicated
warning light/symbol switching on in the
instrument panel (see the instructions in
the "Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
60) 61) 62) 63) 64) 65) 66)
28)
The car is equipped with Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS), which can
advise the driver in the event of
insufficient tyre pressure on the basis of
the pressure when cold indicated in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
The system comprises a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which is able
to send information on the inflation
pressure of each tyre to the control unit
fig. 75.The inflation pressure varies, depending
on the temperature, of about 0.07 bar
(1 psi) every 43.7°F (6.5°C). This means
that a decrease of the external
temperature corresponds to a decrease
of the tyre pressure. Always adjust the
tyre inflation pressure when cold. This is
defined as the tyre pressure after at
least 3 hours of vehicle inactivity or
travel of less than 1 mi (1.6 km) after the
3 hour interval.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must not
exceed the maximum pressure indicated
on the shoulder of the tyre: for further
details see the instructions in the "Rims
and tyres" paragraph, in the "Technical
data" chapter.
Tyre pressure increases when the vehicle
is driven. This is normal, and no
adjustment of the pressure is required.
The TPMS signals the driver a possibleinsufficient pressure if this falls below
the warning limit for any reason, including
the effects of low temperature and
normal loss of pressure from the tyre.
The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient
tyre pressure when it is equal to or
greater than the prescribed cold inflation
pressure. Therefore, if insufficient tyre
pressure is indicated (
warning light
on instrument panel on), increase the
inflation pressure up to the prescribed
cold inflation value.
The system automatically updates and
warning light
switches off each time
the system receives the updated
inflation pressures. The vehicle might
need to be driven at a speed higher than
about 15 mph (25 km/h) up to
20 minutes for the TPMS to receive this
information.
Operating example
Supposing that the prescribed cold
inflation pressure (i.e. vehicle stationary
for at least 3 hours) is 2.3 bar (33.4 psi) ,
if the ambient temperature is 68°F
(20°C) and the detected tyre pressure is
1.95 bar (28.3 psi), a temperature
reduction of 19.4°F (−7°C) results in a
decrease in tyre pressure, bringing it to
approximately 1.65 bar (23.9 psi). This
pressure is sufficiently low to activate
the
warning light.
Heating of tyres due to driving the

vehicle may increase tyre pressure up to
approximately 1.95 bar (28.3 psi), but
the
warning light will stay on. In this
situation, the warning light will switch off
only after the tyres are inflated to the
prescribed cold pressure value for the
car.
IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. The prescribed
pressures and consequent alarm
thresholds set in the TPMS are based on
the dimensions of the tyres fitted on the
vehicle. Using spare wheels of a size, type
and/or design different from the original
ones may cause an irregular operation of
the system and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre
sealants may damage the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor. If
aftermarket tyre sealant is used it is
recommended to go to an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the sensors checked.
After checking or adjusting the tyre
pressure, always refit the valve cap to
prevent humidity and dirt from entering,
these may damage the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System sensor.
INSUFFICIENT TYRE PRESSURE
INDICATION
If an insufficient pressure value is
detected on one or more tyres, the
warning light on the instrument panelswitches on and the dedicated messages
are shown on the display. The system also
highlights the tyre or tyres with
insufficient pressure graphically. An
acoustic signal is also emitted.
In this case, stop the car, check the
inflation pressure of each tyre and inflate
them to the correct cold inflation
pressure value, shown on the display or in
the dedicated TPMS menu.
TPMS TEMPORARILY DISABLED
TPMS check message
If a system failure is present, the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then stays on solid. An
acoustic signal is also emitted.
A dedicated message and dashes "– –"
instead of the pressure value are shown
on the display, to indicate that detection
is impossible.
When the ignition device is set to STOP
and then back to ON, the indication
sequence repeats provided that the
failure is still resent.
The
warning light switches off when
the failure condition disappears and the
pressure value is displayed again in place
of the dashes.
A fault in the system could occur in the
following cases:
strong radio-frequency noises could
hinder the regular operation of the TPMS.This condition will be indicated by a
dedicated message on the display. The
message will disappear automatically as
soon as the radio-frequency interference
ceases to affect the system;
aftermarket application of coloured
films on the windows that interfere with
the radio waves emitted by the TPMS;
accumulation of layers of snow or ice
on the wheels or the wheel arches;
using snow chains;
use of rim/tyre assemblies without
sensors for TPMS;
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the TireKit, the previous
condition must be restored, so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
TPMS deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing the wheels equipped with
TPMS with others that are not (e.g. upon
replacement of the wheel assemblies in
winter) and if compatible with the
country of purchase that makes this
possibility available. Then drive for at
least 20 minutes at a speed higher than
about 15 mph (25 km/h).
The TPMS will emit an acoustic warning,
the
warning light will flash for about
75 seconds, then will stay on constantly
and the instrument panel will display the

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.
