2017 Alfa Romeo MiTo multiair

no messages or symbols are shown on
the display.
The device also acts on the dynamic car
control systems (engine, steering, ESC
system, instrument panel).
TURNING “Dynamic” MODE ON/OFF
4)
Activation
Move lever 1 upwards (to the letter “d”)
and hold in this position for 0.5 seconds
until the corresponding LED lights up or
the word “Dynamic” appears on the
display.
Deactivation
Mover the lever 1 to the "Natural"
position.
1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions
Selecting the “Dynamic” operation mode,
the turbocharger overboost feature is
enabled. The engine management control
unit allows - in relation to the position of
the accelerator pedal and for a limited
time - maximum pressure levels to be
reached inside the turbocharger, with a
consequent increase in engine torque
with respect to that which is normally
possible.
This function is particularly useful
whenever maximum performance is
required for a short time (e.g. when
overtaking).
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when
the “Dynamic” function is used the
steering may shudder, which is typical of
a sports setting.
TURNING “All Weather” MODE ON/OFF
Activation
Move lever 1 downwards (to the letter
“a”) and hold in this position for
0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED
lights up or the word “All Weather”
appears on the display.
Deactivation
To deactivate “All Weather” mode (and
return to “Natural”), carry out the same
procedure described for “Dynamic” mode,
but move lever 1 to “a”.
IMPORTANT
4)"FAST" VERSION: Considering the high
levels of vehicle performance, it is
recommended to not use the "Dynamic"
mode when driving the first kilometres with
the vehicle in order to provide the
mechanical components with the necessary
running-in period.
DYNAMIC SUSPENSION (active
shock absorber system)
This system interacts with the “Alfa DNA”
system. The “Alfa DNA” system lever
allows you to choose three different
driving settings depending on the route
type and on the road surface (see
paragraph “Alfa DNA system”).
In “Natural” and “All Weather” operating
mode, the active shock absorbers adjust
the car suspension to suit the route type
and the driving stresses, thus
considerably improving driving comfort
in particular on rough terrain.
The "Dynamic" operating mode produces
a sports driving setting characterised by
more responsive acceleration and
greater effort on the steering wheel to
give a sporty feeling. The shock absorber
damping action is also adjusted and
divided, to guarantee higher precision
and reactivity of the car, while
maintaining a good comfort level.
The driver will notice that the vehicle is
more precise when cornering and quicker
in changing direction.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
98)
21)
To engage the gears, fully depress the
clutch pedal and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram is
shown on the knob fig. 66, fig. 67,
fig. 68 ).
In models with 6 gears, to engage 6
th
gear, move the gearstick to the right to
avoid changing into 4th by mistake. The
same applies to the shift from 6
thto 5th
gear.
To engage reverse (R) from neutral
position, raise ring 1 underneath the knob
and, at the same time:
on 1.4 Turbo Multi Air 170 HP Veloce
versions, move the lever to the left and
then forwards fig. 67;
on Turbo TwinAir, 1.4 Petrol, 1.4 Turbo
MultiAir and 1.3 JTD
M-2versions, move
the lever to the right and then backwards
fig. 66, fig. 68.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completely
stationary.
WARNING
98)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
21)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.

(2) Check to be carried out every year for cars on the road in countries with particularly severe climates (cold countries).
(3) If the car's annual mileage is less than 10,000 km, the engine oil and filter must be replaced every year.
(4) For 1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions, to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to proceed as follows:
only use spark plugs specifically certified for these engines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the "Engine" paragraph in
the "Technical specifications" chapter); strictly comply with the spark plugs replacement intervals in the Scheduled Servicing Plan. It is advisable
to contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership for spark plug replacement.
(5) Areas that are not dusty: recommended maximum mileage 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled.
Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the car (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling): advised maximum mileage 60,000 km. The belt must
be replaced every 4 years, regardless of distance travelled.
(6) If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 15,000 km.
