Pressing button 2 again during automatic
movement of the roof will stop it.
FRONT SUN BLIND ELECTRIC
MOVEMENT
The front sun blind is electrically
operated.
Press the
symbol on button 3 fig. 39:
to open the sun blinds.
Press button 3
symbol: to close the
sun blind.
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pressing button
3 again.
If the roof is open, the sun blind closing
control will also close the roof.
ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must
be initialised again in case of faulty
sunroof operation.
IMPORTANT The anti-pinch safety
function is deactivated during the
initialisation procedure.
Proceed as follows:
press button 1 next to thesymbol
to bring the roof into completely closed
position;
bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds. Then set the
ignition device to AVV and start the
engine;
press thesymbol on button 1 and
hold it down; after 10 seconds you will
hear the electric motors of the roof and
blind stop in sequence;
release the button and within
5 seconds, press the
symbol on
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.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.

Amber warning lights
Warning
lightWhat it means
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but
without the advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
TPMS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when a failure is detected in the TPMS. Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors, the
display will show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and
steering. Immediately restore the correct inflation pressure using the Tire Repair Kit (see "Repairing a wheel" paragraph in the "In
an emergency" chapter) and contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure
loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the message on the display is "See manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the contents of the "Wheels and
rims" paragraph in the "Technical data" chapter, strictly complying with the indications that you find there.
ESC SYSTEM
When the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
ESC system intervention: Intervention by the system is indicated by the flashing of the warning light: it indicates that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ECS system failure: If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found in the ESC
system.
In these cases, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
Hill Start Assist system failure: the switching on of the warning light indicates a Hill Start Assist system failure.
In these cases, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
PARTIAL / TOTAL DEACTIVATION OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS (where present)
When the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on to indicate that some active safety systems have been partially or totally deactivated.
For further details about the active safety systems see the "Active safety systems" paragraph in the "Safety" chapter. When the
active safety systems are reactivated, the warning light switches off.

Warning
lightWhat it means
FUEL RESERVE / LIMITED RANGE
The warning light (or the icon on the display) turns on when there are about 1.8 UK gal (8 litres) of fuel left in the tank, for Diesel
versions, and about 2 UK gal (9 litres) of fuel for petrol versions.
30)
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine is started.
The operation of the warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and
regulations of the country where you are driving.
16)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly. The warning light on
constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust emissions, a possible loss of
performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the
engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on constantly may cause damage. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
Release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon
as possible.
WARNING
30)If the warning light (or the icon on the display) flashes whilst driving, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT
16)If, turning the ignition device to ON, the warning lightdoes not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some versions
together with the message on the display), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.

by warning tone.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGED (2.0 T4 MAir versions with GPF only)
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
Release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon
as possible.
