GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new car
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made
and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 10

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.

the

OPERATING CONDITIONS
50) 51) 52) 53) 54) 55)
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads) the signalling may be delayed
Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message.
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
WARNING
50) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
51) iTPMS does not relieve the
driver from the obligation to check
the tyre pressure every month; it
is not even to be considered a
replacing system for maintenance
or a safety system.
52) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even though it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
53) The iTPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.54) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
55) An insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity of driving
safely.

or partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberiTPMS SYSTEM
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be
compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp
braking and steering. Repair immediately using
the dedicated kit (see the "Replacing a wheel"
paragraph in the "In an emergency" section) and
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and
then stays on constantly (together with a message
on the display) (see “Operating conditions”
paragraph) to indicate that the system is
temporarily deactivated or faulty.
The system goes back to normal operation when
the operating conditions allow it. If this is not the
case, carry out the Reset procedure after restoring
the normal operating conditions.If the malfunction warning persists, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberLow tyre pressure
The warning light switches on constantly to
indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the
recommended value, in order to guarantee long
tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a
slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or
more tyres may be flat and liable to puncture. In
this case it is advisable to restore the correct
pressure value (see the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
Once the normal operating conditions of the car
are restored, carry out the Reset procedure.In any situation in which the message on the
display is "See manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer
to the contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section, strictly
complying with the indications that you find
there.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be
compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp
braking and steering.
