KNOWING YOUR CAR

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.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This air distribution
setting is useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen and
front side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up
efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.
Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/defrosting
vents and side and central
dashboard vents. This allows air to
be sent to the windscreen in
conditions of strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all diffusers
on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the air conditioner
automatically manages the air
distribution. When set manually, the air
distribution is indicated by the respective
symbols on the Connect system display
switching on.
START & STOP EVO
The automatic dual zone climate control
system manages the Start & Stop Evo
(engine off when vehicle speed is 0 mph
(0 km/h)) to ensure adequate comfort
inside the vehicle.
In particular, the climate control system
turns off the Stop & Start Evo if:
the climate control system is in AUTO
mode (LED on the button switched on)
and the temperature conditions inside
the car are far from a comfort
temperature;
the climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling;
the climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status.With Stop & Start Evo on (engine off and
vehicle speed equal to 0 mph (0 km/h)),
the flow is reduced as much as possible,
to maintain the passenger compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R1234yf coolant gas,
which does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the components
of the system.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

73)The vehicle is equipped with fluids which
are optimised or protecting its performance
and life and extending service intervals. Do
not use chemicals for washing these
components since they may damage the
engine, the transmission or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
74)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging to
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
75)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with unleaded
petrol. Leaded petrol would permanently
damage the catalytic converter and
eliminate its ability to reduce polluting
emissions, seriously compromising the
engine performance, which would be
irreparably damaged. If the engine does not
work correctly, especially if it starts
irregularly or if there is a reduction of its
performance, immediately go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the converter and, as a
consequence, possible damage to the
converter and the vehicle.
76)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.77)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by an Alfa Romeo Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
small servicing interventions personally on
the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts and
the necessary fluids. Do not carry out any
interventions if you don't have the necessary
experience.
78)When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. Open the
boot manually if it is locked.
79)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are flammable
and may explode, with the risk of injuries. The
use of non-approved coolants or lubricants
may adversely affect system efficiency,
leading to expensive repairs.
80)The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid injuries
to people or damage to the system, any
coolant addition or repair that requires to
disconnect the cables must be carried out by
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.LIFTING THE VEHICLE
If the car needs to be jacked up, go to an
Alfa Romeo Dealership which is equipped
with shop jacks or jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side skirts with the
symbols (see
illustration in fig. 160 ).
