The sun roof has three preset positions:
fully closed; comfort (intermediate
opening)l fully open.
IMPORTANT You cannot have the blind
closed when the roof is open.
OPENING
Press thesymbol on button 1 fig. 37:
the roof will open to the comfort position.
A second press will open it fully.
A long press of the same button will open
the roof until it is released, or if held
down, until it reaches the comfort
position. Use the button in the same way
to open the roof fully from that position.
11)
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pressing button
1 again.
If the electric blind is closed, the roof
opening control opens it too.
CLOSING
From the position of complete opening
press button 1 next to the
symbol:
the roof will close completely.
A long press of the same button moves
the roof until it is released.
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pressing button
1 again.
SWIVEL OPENING
To bring the roof to the swivel position,
press and release button 2 fig. 37.
This type of swivel opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sunroof. When starting with the roof
in closed position, pressing the button
automatically causes its swivel-opening.
If the roof is already open, pressing the
button will open it to the swivel position.

TAILGATE
The tailgate is operated electrically, so
pay the utmost attention before
activating its movement.
Safe opening and closing of the tailgate is
guaranteed by a protection system that
can automatically stop its movement
when it encounters an obstacle while
opening or closing.
When the car is moving, tailgate
unlocking and movement are disabled.
To avoid difficulties in tight spaces, you
can set the height at which to block the
tailgate open.

position, proceed as described below:
open the tailgate;
manually move it to the position that
you want to store;
press one of the closing buttons 2 or 3
fig. 47 for at least 5 seconds (successful
acquisition is indicated by the direction
indicators flashing three times).
The tailgate is now programmed to open
to the set position.
This function can be selected on the
Connect system fig. 41 (where provided).Setting the tailgate opening height to a

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT HEIGHT
Four different adjustments in height are
possible.
To adjust the window height, from the top
downwards, press the button 4
fig. 73 and slide the handle downwards.
The height adjuster moves upwards even
without pressing the button.
Always adjust the height of the seat belts
to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.

WARNING
66)Never press button 3 when travelling.
67)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
68)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
69)After height adjustment, always check
that the cursor to which the ring is fastened
is locked in one of the preset positions. To do
this, with the adjustment button released,
exert further pressure downwards to allow
the locking device to click if the grip has not
been released in one of the possible
positions.

The device further enhances driving
comfort provided by the electronic
Cruise Control when on the motorway or
out of town with light traffic.
Important notes
If the sensor does not detect any vehicle
ahead, the device will maintain a fixed set
speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
device automatically intervenes bybraking (or accelerating) slightly in order
not to exceed the original set speed, so
that the vehicle keeps the preset
distance, seeking to adapt to the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
In the cases described below, the system
performance is not guaranteed, it is
therefore advisable to turn the device on
by pressing the
fig. 105 button:
driving in fog, heavy rain, snow, heavy
traffic and in complex driving situations
(e.g. on motorways with roadworks in
progress);
driving near a bend (winding roads), icy,
snowy, slippery roads or with steep
climbs and descents;
entering a turn lane or on a slip road;
towing a trailer;
when circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The device may have four operating
states:
Enabled (speed not programmed);
Activated (speed programmed);
Paused;
Deactivated.
Enabling / Activation
To enable the device, press and release
the
fig. 105 button.With the device enabled and ready for
operation, the display shows the white
icon with dashes fig. 106 in place of the
speed.
Setting a speed activates the system.
The displays shows the green icon with
the set speed.IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device activated when it is not used.

from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
“STOP AND GO” STRATEGY
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the car has
completely stopped. It will also restart
the car automatically if the vehicle ahead
moves off within two seconds, otherwise
it is necessary to press the accelerator
pedal or the RES button to restart.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
thebutton on the Active Cruise
Control is pressed (with the device on or
paused);
the starter switch is in the STOP
position;
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the device is paused (see the
“Active Cruise Control Activation /
Deactivation” paragraph);
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
