❒Trip time B (driving time).
The “Trip B” function may be disabled

“Instant consumption" parameters
cannot be reset.
VALUES DISPLAYED
Range
This indicates the indicative distance
that may be travelled with the fuel in the
tank, assuming that driving conditions
do not change.
The display will show the reading '-----'
when the following events take place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or
30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a
long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
“Driving style” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use
(load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above
into account.Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the
start of the new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel
consumption since the start of the new
journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show “----”ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This shows the average car speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed
since the start of the new journey.
Trip time
The time elapsed since the start of a
new journey.
INDICATIONS ON THE

following information is shown:
❒animated icon in the upper part fig.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redDEGRADED ENGINE OIL (for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with a dedicated message
on the display (for versions/markets where provided).
Depending on the versions, the warning light flashing modes are as
follows:
- for 1 minute every two hours;
- for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds
until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning
light will continue to flash in the same mode, until the oil is changed. A
specific message will appear on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided) in addition to the warning light. If the warning light flashes, this
does not mean that there is a fault, but simply informs that it is now
necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the car. Engine oil
deterioration is accelerated by:
- mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process
more frequent;
- use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have
time to reach its regular operating temperature;
- repeated interruptions of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF
warning light switching on.Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as
possible.65) 66)

PRETENSIONERS
The car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a violent frontal impact. This
guarantees the perfect adherence
of the seat belts to the occupants’
bodies before the restraining action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
towards the reel.
The car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner (in the kick plate area).
Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner. This is not harmful and
does not indicate the start of a fire.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have it
replaced.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase protection, the front seat
belt reels contain a load limiter which
controls the force acting on the chest
and shoulders during the belt
restraining action in the event of a
head-on collision.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the car respect the local
laws in force regarding the use of seat
belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before starting off.
74) 75) 76)
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 110.
The belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally. The
lower part must adhere to the pelvis fig.
111, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) to hold the seat belt away
from your body.

WARNING
103) Never leave children
unattended in the car. Always
remove the key from the ignition
device when leaving the car and
take it with you.
104) The car must be locked after a
few clicks of the parking brake: if
this is not so, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have it
adjusted. Always park the car
safely as indicated by the
Highway Code and as described
above.
USING THE
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and shift the gear lever
into one of the required positions (the
diagram for gear engagement is shown
on the knob of the lever
105)).
To engage the 6thgear, operate the
lever by pressing it towards the right in
order to avoid engaging the 4th gear
by mistake. The same applies to the
shift from 6
thto 5thgear.20)
To engage reverse gear (R) from the
neutral position, lift up ring A fig. 127
and simultaneously move the lever
to the left and then forwards.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the car is completely
stationary.
WARNING
105) Press the clutch pedal fully to
change gears correctly. It is
therefore essential that there is
nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do
not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
20) Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as the
force exerted, even if slight, could
lead over time to premature wear
of the gearbox internal
components.

STARTING AND DRIVING

“Kick-Down” function
To resume speed quickly, when the
accelerator pedal is pressed fully, the
transmission control system downshifts
("Kick-down" function).
IMPORTANT When driving on roads
with poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
etc.) avoid activating the kick-down
function.
Integration with "Alfa
DNA" system
Operating the “Alfa DNA” system fig.
134, three different driving modes can
be selected:
❒“Dynamic”: gear changes at higher
engine speeds. It enhances sporty
driving;❒“Natural”: gear changes at low
engine speeds. It enhances comfort
and reduces consumption;
❒“All Weather”: driving programme on
roads with poor grip (e.g. snow, ice,
mud, etc.).
Gearshifting suggestion
With the transmission in automatic
mode (selector lever in position D),
when gearshifting is required by the
paddles on the steering wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided), the
system shifts to "Sequential mode",
with relevant displaying of the gear
engaged, for about 5 second.
When this time has elapsed, if the
paddles are not operated anymore, the
system goes back to the automatic
mode (D), with following displaying.
SEQUENTIAL DRIVING
MODE
In sequential driving mode, the
transmission works like a manual
gearbox.Gearshifting through
gear lever
Move the lever sideways (to the left)
from position D to the sequential
position:
❒lever towards "+": engage higher
gear;
❒lever towards "−": engage lower gear.
The lever correct position in "Sequential
mode" is signalled when the symbols
"+" and "−" switch on and the symbol D
switches off on the display (the gear
engaged only is shown on the display).
Gearshifting through
steering wheel paddles
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the steering wheel
paddles can be used to change gear
fig. 135.
