children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.

2)Make sure to take the key with you once a
door or the boot is locked, to prevent
forgetting the key inside the vehicle. If the
key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of metal
objects near the key or the car. In these
cases it is still possible to unlock the doors
by using the metal insert in the electronic key
(see description on the following pages).

position C fig. 28. Turn the device 1 again
to position C to return the mirrors to the
driving position. If device 1 is turned
again during door mirror folding (from

system from outside the car
automatically folds the mirrors, they
return to the driving position when the
ignition device is turned to the ON
position. If the external mirrors were
folded operating on the device 1, they
could be returned to the driving position
only operating a new control on the
device.Activation/deactivation of the function
The electric mirror folding function can
be activated/deactivated using the

hear the electric motors of the roof and
blind stop in sequence;
release the button and within
5 seconds, press the

button 1 and hold it down (until the cycle
end): the roof will automatically perform
a complete open and close cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation has been
successful). If this does not occur, the
procedure must be restarted from the
beginning.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, make sure to
take the key with you to avoid the risk of
injury to those still inside the car due to
accidental operation of the sunroof.
Improper use of the roof can be dangerous.
Before and during operation, always check
that no-one is exposed to the risk of being
injured by the moving sunroof or by objects
getting caught or hit by it.

crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may

Amber symbols
Symbol What it means
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER FAILURE / BREAK-IN ATTEMPT
Engine Immobilizer system failure
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the Engine Immobilizer system. Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
Break-in attempt
The symbol switches on when the ignition device is moved to ON position, to indicate a possible break-in attempt detected by the

ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(where provided)
The symbol is displayed only for a limited time.
IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on as described above
until the oil is changed.
If the symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply reports that it is now necessary to
change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the vehicle for short
drives, preventing the engine from reaching operating temperature.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT
19)Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the symbol is switched on, and never more than 500 km after it first
switches on. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. When this symbol comes on, it
does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so you do not need to top up the engine oil.
