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.

IMPORTANT Before closing the boot
make sure you have the key with you to
prevent locking it in the boot. The boot
will be locked automatically and can only
be opened using another key.

manual tailgate opening strap before
disconnecting the battery. The procedure
is described in the "Prolonged vehicle
inactivity" paragraph in the "Servicing
and Care" chapter.
IMPORTANT This procedure must be
carried out exclusively in safe places
because it allows to open the boot
unconditionally.BOOT INITIALISATION
IMPORTANT If the battery is
disconnected or the protection fuse
blows, the boot opening/closing
mechanism must be reinitialised as
follows:
close all the doors and the boot;
press thebutton on the remote

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
CONTROL
58)
Press the fig. 121 button to switch the
hazard warning lights on/off.
When the hazard warning lights are on,
the
andwarning lights flash.
When you need to move away from the
vehicle to look for help, the hazard
warning lights will continue flashing even
if the ignition device is in the STOP
position.
IMPORTANT The use of hazard warning
lights is governed by the highway code of
the country you are driving in: comply
with legal requirements.
Emergency braking
The hazard lights are switched on and
warning lights
andappear on the
instrument panel in case of emergency
braking and according to the mode
selected by the “Alfa DNA™” selector.
When the "Alfa DNA™" selector is in
position "n" or "a", the activation
threshold of the hazard warning lights is
higher; on the other hand, in position "d"
the sensitivity of the activation is lower
than that in the "n" and "a" modes.
The lights switch off automatically when
emergency braking ceases.
IMPORTANT
58)A prolonged use of the hazard warning
lights may discharge the battery.
CHANGING A BULB
129) 130) 131) 132)
59)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSBefore replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of the
same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph "If a fuse
blows" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT In some particular climate
conditions such as low teperature,
humidity or after washing the car, a thin
condensation layer may form on the
internal surfaces of the front and rear
headlights. This is a natural phenomenon
due to the difference in temperature and
humidity between the inside and the
outside of the transparent cover which
does not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. It will disappear during
normal use.

The pliers fig. 134 have two different
ends, specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the
vehicle.
1: MINI fuse;
2: J-CASE fuse.After use, refit the pliers in position,
proceeding as follows:
grasp the pliers from the upper tabs;
press the pliers in their housing,
pushing downwards, until they click into
place.
FUSE LOCATION
The fuses, which can be replaced by the
user, are grouped in two boxes below the
passenger side foot board and inside the
boot.
