ahead.
The device allows to hold the vehicle at
the desired speed without needing to
press the accelerator. It also allows to
hold a given distance from the vehicle
ahead (the distance can be set by the
driver).
The Active Cruise Control (ACC) uses a
radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 103 and a camera, located in
the middle area of the windscreen
fig. 104, to detect the presence of a
vehicle close ahead.

when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION
WARNING
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the system
operation may have occurred.
The possible reasons of this limitation
are something blocking the camera view
or a fault. If an obstruction is signalled,
clean the area of the windscreen
indicated in fig. 104 and check that the
message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below): the
driver must control the car at all times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
VEHICLE not aligned
The device may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which is
not aligned along the same direction of
travel or a vehicle which is cutting in from
a side lane. Sufficient distance from the
vehicles ahead may not be guaranteed in
these cases.The non-aligned vehicle can weave in and
out of the driving direction causing the
vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and bends
When cornering with the device set, it
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability even if no
vehicles are detected ahead. When
leaving the bend, the device resets the
previously set speed.
IMPORTANT In case of narrow curves,
the performance of the device could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the device. Moreover,
remember that the device only limits the
speed DURING a bend and not BEFORE
it, so always take great care.
Using the device on gradient
When driving on roads with variable
gradient, the device may not detect the
presence of a vehicle on the lane. Device
performance could be limited according
to speed, load, traffic conditions and
gradient steepness.
Lane change
The device may not detect the presence
of a vehicle until it is fully in your lane.
In this case, sufficient distance from the
vehicle which is changing lane may not be
guaranteed: it is advisable to pay the

IMPORTANT Make sure not to add too
much engine oil when topping up. Engine
oil in excess may damage the engine.
Have the car checked. Never exceed the
MAX level when topping up engine oil. It
is advisable to check the oil level inintermediate steps on the display. Use
the oil dipstick on the Quadrifoglio
version.
IMPORTANT The oil level is not refreshed
immediately on the display after topping
up. Consequently, wait for the oil level to
be refreshed on the display following to
procedure shown below.
Oil level indication update on display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as follows
to ensure correct indication of the oil
level on the display:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
Proceed as follows:
with the car level, run the engine for
approximately 5 minutes (temperature
higher than 176°F (80°C)) and then stop
the engine;
start the engine again and idle it for
about 2 minutes.

starting the engine and wait for
20 seconds.
IMPORTANT If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the
symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an Alfa
Romeo dealership.

The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.88 lb (400 grams every
620 miles (1000 km). When the car is
new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
181
