carbon-ceramic discs, before using “Drive
Away Release” mode and moving the
vehicle, it is necessary to buckle the seat
belts or manually release the electric
handbrake to prevent damage to the
carbon-ceramic discs themselves.
"Safe Hold": if the vehicle speed is
lower than 2 mph (3 km/h), the gear lever
is not in P (Park) position and the driver's
intention of leaving the vehicle is
detected, the electric parking brake will
automatically engage to hold the vehicle
in safety conditions;
"Auto Park Brake": if the vehicle speed
is below 2 mph (3 km/h), the electric
parking break will automatically engage
when the gear lever is in P (Park) position.
When the parking brake is engaged and
applied to the wheels, the LED on the
switch located on the central tunnel
fig. 96 switches on together with the
warning light
on the instrument
panel. Each automatic parking brake
engagement can be cancelled by pressing
the switch on the central tunnel and at
the same time moving the gear lever for
the transmission to position P (Park).
SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in the
event of a dangerous condition for the
car.
If:
the car speed is below 2 mph (3 km/h);
a transmission mode other than P
(Park) is activated;
the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
the driver side door is open;
no attempts to apply pressure on the
brake pedal have been detected;
the car is parked on roads which
gradient higher than 4%;
the electric parking brake engages
automatically to prevent car movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel and
the brake pedal at the same time, with
the vehicle stationary and the driver side
door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
18 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition device is
moved to STOP and then to ON.
WARNING
104)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels must
be steered towards the pavement (when
parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. Block
the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car
is parked on a steep slope.
105)Never leave children alone in an
unattended vehicle; make sure that when
you move away from the vehicle, you have
the key with you.
106)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving the vehicle.

IMPORTANT DO NOT accelerate while
shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
a cold engine.
AutoStick - Manual (sequential)
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshifting (e.g.
for sport driving, when the vehicle is
driven with a heavy load, on slopes, with
strong headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
Autostick (sequential shifting) mode to
select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
In these conditions, the use of a lower
gear improves vehicle performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from D mode (Drive)
to sequential mode regardless of vehicle
speed.
Activation
Starting from D (Drive) mode, to activate
the sequential drive mode, move the
lever to the left (– and + indication of the
trim). The gear engaged will be shown on
the display.
Gearshifting is made by moving the gear
lever forwards, towards symbol – or
backwards, towards symbol +.Steering wheel stalks
(where provided)
The gear can also be manually shifted by
using the levers behind the steering
wheel. Pull the right shift lever (+)
towards the steering wheel and release it
to engage a higher gear; perform the
same operation with the left lever (-) to
engage a lower gear fig. 99.
To engage N (Neutral): pull
simultaneously both levers.
To activate D (Drive) mode, from N
(Neutral), P (Parking) and R (Reverse):
push the brake pedal and the right lever
(+).
IMPORTANT If only one manual shift is
necessary, the letter D will remain on the
display with the engaged gear next to it.
Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential drivingmode, bring the gear lever back in
position D (Drive) ("automatic" driving
mode).
TRANSMISSION EMERGENCY
FUNCTION
(where provided)
Transmission operation is constantly
monitored to detect any fault. If a
condition that might damage the
transmission is detected, the
"transmission emergency" function is
activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays
in 4
thgear, regardless of the selected
gear. The P (Parking), R (Reverse) and N
(Neutral) modes continue to work.
The
symbol might light up in the
display.
In the event of a "transmission
emergency" immediately contact the
nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Temporary failure
If the warning light turns on, the failure
may be temporary, in which case, proceed
as follows to restore correct
transmission operation:
stop the vehicle;
engage P (Park) mode;
bring the ignition device to STOP;
wait for about 10 seconds, then
restart the engine;

mode, move the selector to "n", Normal
mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The selector will always be positioned
in Normal “n” mode when the engine is
started.
START & STOP EVO
The Stop/Start Evo automatically stops
the engine each time the vehicle is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
NOTE The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run at
about 6.2 mph (10 km/h). After an
automatic restart, to stop the engine you
only need to move the car (exceed a
speed of 0.3 mph (0.5 km/h).
Engine stopping is signalled by the
symbol lighting up on the instrument
panel display.Restarting the engine
To restart the engine, release the brake
pedal.
With the brake pressed and the
transmission in automatic mode D
(Drive), the engine will restart by shifting
to R (Reverse), for petrol engine versions
only, to "AutoStick".
With brake pressed, also for versions
with petrol engines, if the gear lever is in
"AutoStick" mode, the engine can be
restarted by moving the lever to + or -.

The Active Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
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.
