ELECTRIC WINDOWS
These operate when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and for about 3 minutes
after turning the key to STOP or
removing it if one of the front doors is
open.
The buttons are located in the door panel
trim fig. 25 (the driver side door panel
can be used to operate all the windows).
An anti-pinch device operates when the
front and rear windows are raised.

See fig. 25.
1: opening/closing front left window;
“continuous automatic” operation during
window opening/closing stage;
2: opening/closing front right window;
“continuous automatic” operation during
window opening/closing stage;
3: opening/closing rear right window
(where provided); “continuous automatic”
operation during window opening and

4: opening/closing rear left window
(where provided); “continuous automatic”
operation during window opening and
closing stage;
5: enabling/disabling of rear door
electric window controls;
Window opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window.
When one of the two buttons is pressed
briefly, the window moves in "stages"; if
the button is held down, "continuous
automatic" operation is activated.
If the button is pressed again the window
will stop in its current position. If the
button is held down for several seconds,
the window raises or lowers
automatically (only with ignition key in
MAR position).
Window closing
Lift the buttons to close the desired
window.
The window closing stage occurs
following the same logic described for
the opening stage.Passenger side front door/rear doors
(where provided)
On the passenger side front door control
panel, and on some versions also on the
rear doors, only button 2 fig. 25 is
provided to control the associated
window.
Anti-crush safety device
The car is equipped with an anti-crush
function for the raising of the front and
rear windows.
This safety system detects the presence
of an obstacle during the window closing
travel and cuts in by stopping and
reversing the window travel, depending
on its position. This device is also useful if
the windows are activated accidentally
by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both
during manual and automatic operation
of the electric windows. When the
anti-crush system is activated, the
window travel is immediately interrupted
and then reversed. The window cannot be
operated in any way during this time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection
intervenes 5 consecutive times within
1 minute or is faulty, the automatic
closing operation of the window is
inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a
second; the button is released for the
subsequent manoeuvre.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

In order to restore the correct operation
of the system, the relevant window must
be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or
removed, the electric windows remain
active for about 3 minutes and are
deactivated when a door is opened.
IMPORTANT On versions with anti-crush
protection, when the button
on the
remote control is pressed for longer than
2 seconds the windows will open, whilst if
the button
is pressed for longer than
2 seconds the windows will close.
Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the
relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
fully close the window to initialise
manually;
after the window has reached the
upper end of travel, hold the up button
pressed for at least one second.
For versions/markets where provided,
after there has been no power supply for
the control units (battery replaced or
disconnected or protection fuses for the
electric window control units replaced),
the automatic operation of the windows
must be restored.The restoration procedure must be
performed as described below with the
doors closed:
completely open the driver's door
window keeping the operating button
pressed for at least three seconds after
the (lower) end of travel position is
reached;
completely raise the driver side
window and hold the button down for at
least 3 seconds once the (upper) end of
travel position has been reached;
proceed in the same way also on the
passenger's side door;
make sure that the initialisation is
correct by checking that the windows
work automatically.
IMPORTANT
7)The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
13)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers are
not at risk from the moving glass either by
personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition to prevent accidental
operation of the electric windows from being
a hazard for those still on board.

DISPLAY
The car is equipped with a reconfigurable
multifunction display that, according to
the previously applied settings, will show
useful driving information.
With the ignition key removed, the
display lights up and shows the time and
total odometer reading (in km or miles)
for a few seconds when a door is
opened/closed.
RECONFIGURABLE MULTIFUNCTION
DISPLAY
The following information is shown on the
display (example given in fig. 38 ):
1: Time
2: Area reserved for messages
(information, settings, etc)
3: Milometer (total distance covered
in km or miles).4: Car status indications (e.g. doors open,
possible ice on road, etc.)/Start&Stop
function indication (for versions/
markets, where provided)/Gear Shift
Indicator (for versions/markets, where
provided)
5: Headlight alignment position (only with
dipped beam headlights on)
6: External temperature
The turbocharger pressure will appear on
some versions when “DYNAMIC” driving
mode is selected (see “Alfa DNA system”
in this chapter).GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear through
a special indication on the display.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is advisable
to stick to “Natural” or “All Weather”
mode and to follow the suggestions of
the Gear Shift Indicator, where traffic
conditions permit.
When the SHIFT UP icon
is shown on
the display the GSI suggests the driver to
up-shift, whereas if the SHIFT DOWN
icon
is displayed, the driver is advised
to down-shift.
The indication in the instrument panel
remains on until the driver shifts gear or
the driving conditions go back to a
situation where gearshifting is not
required to improve consumption.
