DOORS
LOCKING/UNLOCKING DOORS FROM
THE INSIDE
Central locking/unlocking
If all doors are closed properly, they will
automatically be locked once the vehicle
has exceeded approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h) ("Auto relock" function active).
Press the
button on the driver side,
passenger side or rear (where provided)
door panel trims fig. 6 to lock the doors.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING DOORS FROM
THE OUTSIDE
Locking from the outside
With the doors closed, press the
button on the key.
The door lock can anyway be activated
with all doors locked and the boot open.

2)
Door unlocking from the outside
Press button
on the key.
PASSIVE ENTRY(where provided)
3)
The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of an electronic key near
the doors and the tailgate.
The system enables the doors (or the
boot) to be locked/released without
pressing any button on the electronic key.
The key is detected only after the system
recognizes the presence of a hand in one
of the front handles. If the detected key
is valid, the doors and the boot are
unlocked (the elements that open depend
on the Connect system settings).Where the function is provided, grasping
the handle of the driver's door unlocks
the driver's door only, or all the doors,
depending on the mode set in the
Connect system.
Door locking
To lock the doors, proceed as follows:
make sure that you have the electronic
key and are close to the driver or
passenger side door handle;
press the "door locking" button
fig. 7 located on the handle or the button
fig. 8 on the tailgate near the open
button: this will lock all doors and the
tailgate. Door locking will activate the
alarm as well (where provided).

KNOWING YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT After pressing the "door
locking" button, you need to wait two
seconds before the doors can be
unlocked again using the door handle. It is
therefore possible to check whether the
vehicle is locked correctly by pulling the
door handle within 2 seconds. The doors
will not be unlocked again.
The vehicle doors and boot can anyway
be locked pressing button
on the
electronic key or on the inner door panel.
Driver side door emergency opening
If the electronic key does not work, e.g.
because its battery is flat or the car
battery is flat, the emergency metal
insert inside the key can anyway be used
to operate the lock, unlocking the driver
side door.
To extract the metal insert, proceed as
follows:
Pressing in the points indicated infig. 9, extract the cover pulling
downwards;
remove the key insert from its housing
fig. 10;
insert the metal insert in the driver
side door lock and turn it to unlock the
door.
Do not push the lock/unlock door button
fig. 7 and push the handle simultaneously
(see fig. 11 ).
POWER LOCK(where provided)
6)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of the interior door handles and the door
locking/unlocking button.
It thereby prevents the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger
compartment, serving as an obstacle to
break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the
device each time you park your vehicle.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by
pressing the
button on the key twice
quickly.
The direction indicators flash 3 times to
let you know that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors are not closed
correctly, the device will not activate,

8)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
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).

The boot can be partially (1/3 or 2/3) or
totally extended by splitting the rear
seat.
Partial extension of the luggage

restraints;
place the seat belt so that it doesn't
impede the movement of the backrest

sure that they are correctly extended and
not twisted and that they are not trapped
behind the backrests of the seats, then
lift the backrests pushing them back until
you hear the locking click on both
attachment mechanisms.
Central backrest section tilting
Before tilting the backrest, make sure
that the rear central seat belt is not
fastened and that there are no objects in

The symbol lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that
the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership if the symbol comes on when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):slow down and, if the warning light stays on,
stop the vehicle. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation,
then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant level is correct as described above.
