WARNING
48) When replacing the battery,
always contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should
have the same characteristics.
49) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the engine is off
and that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the dedicated
label on the front crossmember
(fig. 85). We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the car.
The car should always be left after
the key has been removed or
turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the
ignition key is in the STOP
position).
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is anyway
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS system needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
RESET procedure is carried out.❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning lightmay
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at
MAR-ON, press the button
fig. 86 on
the dashboard for 2 seconds; after
the RESET, the display shows a
dedicated message, indicating that the
"self-learning" has started.

If there are several obstacles, the
closest one is displayed. On the version
with front and rear sensors, the closest
obstacle in the front area and in the
rear area is displayed.ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the
presence and distance of an obstacle
from the car is transmitted to the driver
by means of acoustic signals from
buzzers installed in the passenger
compartment:
❒in the versions with rear sensors,a
buzzer in the front dashboard area
warns of the presence of obstacles at
rear. The volume of the acoustic
signal can be adjusted through the
option "Warning volume" of the
Setup menu (see “Menu items”
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” section).
❒in the versions with front and rear
sensors, a front buzzer warns of
the presence of obstacles at the front
and a buzzer located at the rear
warns of the presence of obstacles at
the rear. This permits the driver to
perceive the direction (front/rear) of
the obstacles.
Depending on the position of the
obstacle (in front or at the rear) the
sound is emitted by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle
closest to the car is signalled.When reverse gear is engaged an
acoustic signal is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within
the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❒increasesas distance between the
car and the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuouswhen the
distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance
increases;
❒is constantif the distance is unvaried;
if this situation occurs for the side
sensors, the signal will stop after
about 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres alongside walls.
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric
cable plug is fitted into the car tow
hook socket.
11)
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Obstacle presence and distance
information is therefore provided both
by the buzzer (volume of the acoustic
warning cannot be adjusted) and the
indication on the display.

FRONT AIRBAGS
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM
(MULTISTAGE FRONT
AIRBAGS)
The car features multistage front
airbags (“Smart bag”) for driver and
passenger.
The front (driver and passenger) airbags
protect occupants in the event of
head-on crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the a cushion
between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other
types of impacts (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
Airbags are not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
you are recommended to always wear.
In the event of impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The
protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
85) 86) 88)
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:❒frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the car (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
underneath a truck or a guard rail) as,
in this case, the bags would offer no
additional protection with respect
to the seat belt and their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these
cases, non-deployment does not
indicate a system malfunction.

SAFETY

WARNING
85) Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on
side upholstery on the roof or on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard
since they could interfere with correct inflation of the airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
86) Always drive keeping your hands on the steering wheel rim so that the airbag can inflate freely if necessary. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep the back of your seat upright and lean back into it.
87) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger airbag when a rear facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to avoid
the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag
as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.
88) To deactivate the airbags, see the “Knowing your car” section, “Menu Items” paragraph.
89) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact.
