2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Turn

Humidity Sensor
The Humidity Sensor helps to prevent the
windows from fogging up. The AUTO
function (indicator illuminated) must be
on for the Humidity Sensor to function.
When outside temperature is low, the
system may turn the compressor on and
turn air recirculation off for safer driving.
Switching Off/On The Climate Control
System
Switching Off The Climate Control
System
Rotate the Air Speed Adjustment Knob
completely counterclockwise to turn off
the Climate Control System.
With the air conditioner off:
Air recirculation is on
The A/C compressor is off
The fan is off
The heated rear window can be
activated/deactivated
Note: The climate control system stores
the previously set temperatures and
resumes operation when any button on
the system is pushed.
Switching On The Climate Control
System
To switch the climate control system on
in automatic mode, push the AUTO
button.
Stop/Start
The Stop/Start system shuts off the
engine when vehicle speed is 0 mph
(0 km/h), and the climate control system
will continue to maintain comfort within
the vehicle.
Stop/Start will deactivate in the
following scenarios:
The climate control system is in AUTO
mode (indicator illuminated), and the
vehicle has yet to reach the set
temperature
The climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling
The climate control system is in HI
maximum heating
The climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status
When the Stop/Start system is active,
the engine will restart if the inside
temperature changes significantly, or if
the LO setting, or MAX-DEF setting, is
activated.
With Stop/Start system on, air flow is
reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically
changes within the cabin, the climate
control system will continue to maintain
the temperature while the engine is off.
By deactivating the Stop/Start system
with the
button located on the dashboard, the climate control system
will take priority over the engine shutting
off.
Note:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the
use of the Stop/Start system to prevent
the compressor from continuously
switching on and off. This will cause
rapid misting of the windows and the
accumulation of humidity in the
passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on,
the climate control system will always
take air in from outside, reducing the
probability of the windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter, the Climate Control System
must be turned on at least once a month
for approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer before the summer.

Hands Free Liftgate — If Equipped
To operate the Hands Free Liftgate
System:
1. If the doors are locked, the system
must detect the electronic key near the
liftgate.
2. If the doors are unlocked, the system
does not have to detect the electronic
key near the liftgate.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle, in the
center and about 3 feet (1 m) from the
liftgate.
4. Move your foot under the bumper,
simulating a kick. When you have
completed this movement, withdraw your
leg. To activate the liftgate, both sensors
must detect your leg.If it is closed, the Hands Free Liftgate
unlocks and opens completely, and with
another movement of the foot, it stops. A
further movement of the foot reverses
the direction and closes the liftgate
completely, if you do not stop it again.
If it is open, with a movement of the foot,
the Hands Free Liftgate closes
completely, and with another movement
of the foot, it stops. If the liftgate is
stopped, another movement of the foot
will reverse the direction and open it
completely.
Note:
To conserve the battery charge,
avoid performing this operation
repeatedly with the engine off.
You can activate/deactivate the Hands
Free Liftgate on the Information and
Entertainment System by pushing the

Homelink
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and home
or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
Note: Without starting the engine,
activate the electric park brake and place
the ignition in the ON position.
