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.

INTERIOR LIGHTS
FRONT CEILING LIGHT
Switch 5 fig. 21is used to switch on/off
roof lights.
Switch 5 positions:
central position: lights 1 and 4 switch
on/off when the doors are
opened/closed;
pressed to the left(position OFF):
lights 1 and 4 are always switched off;
pressed to the right(position):
lights 1 and 4 are always switched on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.
Switch 2 switches on/off light 1.
Switch 3 switches on/off light 4.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the
car, make sure that both switches are in
the central position: when the doors are
closed the lights will switch off to avoid
draining the battery.
In any case, if the switch is left in the on
position, the roof light switches off
automatically about 15 minutes after the
engine has been switched off.
ROOF LIGHT TIMING
(for versions where provided)
Timing while getting into the car
The roof lights come on won unlocking,
opening and closing.
The timed period is interrupted when the
ignition is turned to "MAR-ON".
Timing while getting out of the car
The roof lights come on when the key is
removed from the ignition within
2 minutes of switching off the engine, on
opening and closing a door with the
removed key.
The timing stops automatically when the
doors are locked.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation to the time
for which the stalk is held in this position.
When released, the stalk will return to its
default position and the windscreen
wiper will be automatically stopped.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled
for more than half a second to operate
the windscreen washer jet and wiper
automatically with a single movement.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It can detect the presence of rain and
consequently manage windscreen wiping
in accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen.
The sensor is activated when the ring 2
fig. 22 is turned to "automatic" position
("AUTO" control): the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in
accordance with the amount of water on
the windscreen.
If no rain is detected, the wiper will not
carry out any strokes.If the engine is switched off with the
lever in the automatic position, when the
car is next started, no wiping cycle will
take place even if it is raining. This is to
prevent unwanted activation of the rain
sensor when the engine is started (i.e.
when the windscreen is being washed by
hand or the wiper blades are stuck to the
windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the
rain sensor, turn the ring on the right stalk
2 fig. 22 from automatic position (AUTO)
to positionOand then turn ring 2 back to
the AUTO position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using
any of the manoeuvres described above,
reactivation is indicated by a single
stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Turn ring 1 fig. 22 from positionOto
position
to operate the rear window
wiper as follows:
in intermittent mode when the
windscreen wiper is not operating;
in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when the
windscreen wiper is operating;
in continuous mode with reverse gear
engaged and the control active.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(rocking position) will activate the rear
window washer jet. Keep the stalk pushed
for more than half a second to activate
the rear window wiper as well. Releasing
the stalk will activate the smart washing
function, as described for the windscreen
wiper.
IMPORTANT
5)Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
restored (even after restarting that car with
the key), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
6)Do not operate the windscreen wiper with
the blades lifted from the windscreen.

Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly, giving
a prompt sensation of warmth
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on.
You can also set a combination of the air distribution settings described above. In combined function mode the relevant function is
enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop
The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when car speed is 0 km/h) to ensure
adequate comfort inside the car. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and car at a standstill), the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor
is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf (indicated on a
specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.

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.

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.

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
