ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Start) run down or flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the car and displays a dedicated
message.
In this case, follow the instructions in
paragraph "Starting with flat key battery"
in the "Knowing your car" chapter and
start the engine normally.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
36)
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic;
engage a gear (versions with manual
gearbox) or activate P (Park) mode
(versions with automatic transmission);
with engine idling, press the start
button.
Cars with electronic key (Keyless Start)
If the car speed is above 5 mph (8 km/h),
it is still possible to stop the engine if a
gear operating mode other than P (Park)
is selected. To switch off the engine in
this situation, hold down the ignition
device button for a while or press it
3 times in a row within a few seconds.
WARNING
103)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in oxygen
and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
104)The electro-hydraulic braking system
is not active until the engine starts running.
So, the brake pedal travel will be longer than
normal. This does not indicate a fault.
105)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.

To select one of the operating modes,
move the lever forwards or backwards
and press the brake pedal at the same
time.
To engage R (Reverse) mode, press the
pedal and the button 3 fig. 96 in
combination.
To pass from P (Park) mode directly to D
(Drive) mode, in addition to pressing the
brake pedal, it is also necessary to press
button 3.
To pass from R (Reverse) mode directly
to D (Drive) mode and vice versa, in
addition to pressing the brake pedal, it is
necessary to press button 3.
The P (Parking) mode can be enabled
pushing the P (Parking) 2 button fig. 95.It is not possible to select N (Neutral)
mode from P (Park) mode.
P (Park) mode is automatically activated
if the following conditions are met
simultaneously:
D (Drive) or R (Reverse) mode is active;
the car’s speed is close to 0;
the brake pedal is released;
the driver’s seat belt is not fastened;
the driver’s door is open.
If using the gear shift in "sequential"
mode. you can activate it by moving the
lever from D (Drive) to the left and then
forward towards the - symbol or back
towards the + symbol and the gear is
shifted.
To exit position P (Park), or to pass from
position N (Neutral) to position D (Drive)
or R (Reverse) when the vehicle is
stopped or is moving at a low speed, the
brake pedal must also be pressed.
IMPORTANT DO NOT accelerate while
shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
a cold engine.
AutoStick - Manual (sequential)
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshifting (e.g.
for sport driving, when the vehicle is
driven with a heavy load, on slopes, with
strong headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
Autostick (sequential shifting) mode to
select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
In this condition, using the lowest gear
improves the car performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from position D
(Drive) to the sequential mode regardless
of vehicle speed.
Activation
Starting from D (Drive) mode, to activate
the sequential drive mode, move the
lever to the left (– and + indication of the
trim). The gear engaged will be shown on
the display.

monitored to detect any fault. If a
condition that might damage the
transmission is detected, the
"transmission emergency" function is
activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays
in 4
thgear, regardless of the selected
gear. Positions P (Parking), R (Reverse)
and N (Neutral) still work.
The
symbol might light up in the
display.
In the event of a "transmission
emergency" immediately contact the
nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Temporary failure

CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
car speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
25 mph (40 km/h) on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
Travelling downhill, the system could
brake the car to keep the set speed
unvaried.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
114) 115) 116)
To activate the device press button
fig. 100.
The activation of the device is signalled
by the switching on of the white warning
light
on the display.
The Cruise Control function can remain
active concurrently with the Speed
Limiter system. If a speed limit below the
one indicated in the Cruise Control is
selected, the Cruise Control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.The device cannot be engaged in first or
reverse gear: it is recommended to
engage it in 3rd gear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device on when it is not used. There is a
risk of inadvertently activating it and
losing control of the vehicle due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
activate the device;
when the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, raise/lower the SET
switch and release fig. 100 to activate
the device. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will keep the
selected speed automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing theaccelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhills with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before raising/lowering the
SET switch the vehicle must be travelling
at a constant speed on a flat surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING SPEED
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by lifting the SET
switch fig. 100.
Keeping the button (high/low) pressed,
the set speed will increase until the
button is released, then the new speed
will be stored.
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.

STARTING AND DRIVING

The device further enhances driving
comfort provided by the electronic
Cruise Control when on the motorway or
out of town with light traffic.
Important notes
If the sensor does not detect any vehicle
ahead, the device will maintain a fixed set
speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
device automatically intervenes bybraking (or accelerating) slightly in order
not to exceed the original set speed, so
that the vehicle keeps the preset
distance, seeking to adapt to the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
In the cases described below, the system
performance is not guaranteed, it is
therefore advisable to turn the device on
by pressing the
fig. 103 button:
driving in fog, heavy rain, snow, heavy
traffic and in complex driving situations
