previously memorised position on the
same button is automatically
overwritten.
Recalling a memorised position is also
possible for about 3 minutes after the
doors are opened and about 1 minute
after the engine is stopped. To recall a
memorised position, press the relevant
button briefly.
EASY ENTRY FUNCTION
The Easy Entry function is designed to
retract the driver side seat automatically
by 2.36 in (60 mm) to make it easier for
the driver to get in and out of the car.
The movement is activated only if the
seat is set to a driving position which is in
front of the B pillar of the car.
The function is associated with
electrically adjustable front seats for
each of the three stored positions.
The Easy Entry function can be
activated/deactivated using the Connect
system.Activating entrance mode
With the door open and the starter device
at STOP, the driver side seat will be in a
position retracted by 2.36 in (60 mm)
with respect to the driving position set by
the user.
When the door is closed and the starter
device is in the ON position, the seat will
automatically return to the set driving
position.
NOTE If the seat is moved manually while
it is still in retracted position, it will
remain in the new set position when the
car is entered again.
Activating exit mode
In order to help the driver get out of the
car, the driver side seat will move back by
2.36 in (60 mm) when the starter device
is in STOP mode and the driver side door
is opened.
NOTE Pressing any button on the seat
memory or control panel will immediately
interrupt the automatic positioning
function (antipanic function). The
operation must be repeated to complete
the function.
REAR SEATS

The rear seats allow for:
three passengers.
SPLIT FOLDING REAR SEAT
Partial extension of the luggage
compartment (1/3 or 2/3)

Extending the right side of the luggage
compartment (1/3 of the rear seat)
allows you to carry two passengers on
the left part of the rear seat, while
extending the left side (2/3 of the rear
seat) allows you to carry one passenger.
Proceed as follows:
completely lower the rear seat head
restraints;
place the seat belt so that it doesn't
impede the movement of the backrest
while tilting it;
operate the left-hand lever 1

The refuelling procedure described
above is illustrated on the label (where
provided) located inside the fuel flap.TOPPING UP AdBlue® DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE
(2.2 JTD versions only)
125)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower
than 12.2 °F (–11°C). If the car stands for
a long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it is
advised to park the car in a garage and/or
heated environment and wait for the
AdBlue® to return to liquid state before
topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on level ground;
switch off the engine by turning the
ignition device to STOP;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 117, then undo
and remove the cap 3 (blue) from the
AdBlue® filler and place it in the specific
housing 4.
Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue® distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue® tank is full). Do not proceed with
the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 3 fig. 117 back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise and
screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to ON (it is not
necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started and
the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when the
tank was empty, see the “Refuelling ”
paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again. If the liquid
crystallises, eliminate it with a sponge
and warm water.

STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to the
tank. AdBlue® freezes under 12.2°F
(–11°C). Although the system is
designed to operate below the freezing
point of AdBlue®, it is advisable not to
fill the tank beyond the maximum level
because if the AdBlue® freezes the
system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in the “Topping up AdBlue®
diesel emissions additive” paragraph in
this chapter.
If AdBlue® is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
AdBlue® was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Do not add additives or other fluids
to AdBlue®, doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into another
container: it could be contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least
by not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter to continue using the car
normally.
The AdBlue® level is not updated if
the car is parked on a sloping road.
