IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 21:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system that requires the
ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start,
before the starting operation can be repeated.
If the ignition switch is tampered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services before driving again.
Always remove the key when you leave the car to
prevent someone from accidentally operating the
controls. Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children unattended in the car.
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly and turn the ignition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with
type-approval requirements.
Never remove the key while the car is moving. The
steering wheel will lock as soon as it is turned. This
holds true for cars being towed as well.

The radio switches on when the ON/OFF button is pressed briefly.
When the radio is turned on, the volume is limited to level 20 if it

the radio has switched itself off automatically it can be switched on
for a further 20 minutes by pressing the ON/OFF button.

By pressing the FM AS button quickly and repeatedly, the following
audio sources can be selected cyclically:

If another function is selected whilst listening to the radio, the last
station selected is tuned into when returning to Radio mode.
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the volume, turn the ON/OFF knob.
If the volume level is changed during the transmission of traffic
news, the new setting will only be maintained until the update is
finished.

AUX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
INTRODUCTION
This section describes the variants regarding the operation of the
AUX source: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer
to the description in the "Functions and Adjustments" section.
AUX MODE
To activate the AUX source, press the MEDIA button or the SRC
control on the steering wheel repeatedly until the corresponding
source is displayed.
The AUX socket is located on the central tunnel next to the power
socket (or next to the cigar lighter socket, depending on the
versions) fig. 3.IMPORTANT
The functions of the device connected with the AUX socket are
directly managed by the device itself; it is not possible to change
track/folder/playlist with radio or steering wheel controls.
Do not leave the cable of your portable player connected to the
AUX socket after disconnecting, to avoid possible hiss from the
speakers.
