Accessories Purchased By The Owner
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact an authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the
vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

NOTE:

Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal (mats, etc.).

when the engine is stopped. This function can
be deactivated/activated on the Information
and Entertainment system by selecting the
following items in sequence on the main
menu: “Settings”, “Driver Assistance” and
“Automatic Parking Brake”.
In addition to engaging the EPB, along with
steering and positioning chocks in front of the
wheels (when on a steep slope), you must
always place the vehicle in the PARK (P) mode
before leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to unlock the
EPB.
Engaging The EPB Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the center
console to manually engage the EPB when the
vehicle is stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the EPB.
A slight movement of the brake pedal may be
detected when engaging the EPB with the
brake pedal pressed.
With the EPB engaged, the BRAKE warning
light on the instrument cluster display and the
switch will illuminate.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the use
of the brake is required with the vehicle in
motion, keep the switch on the center console
pulled as long as the brake action is neces
-
sary.
The BRAKE warning light may turn on with the
hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in
this case, braking is controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically turn on
in the same way as normal braking with the
use of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console to
stop the braking action with the vehicle in
motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph (3 km/h)
is reached and the switch is kept pulled, the
parking brake will definitively engage.

NOTE:

Driving the vehicle with the EPB engaged, or
using it several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the braking
system.

ALFA ACTIVE SUSPENSION
(AAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle's electronic suspension manage-
ment system is aimed at optimizing the
vehicle's performance.
The system continuously monitors the
damping of the suspensions through the actu -
ator installed on each shock absorber. This
way, the calibration of the shock absorbers
can be adjusted to the conditions of the road
surface and to the dynamic conditions of the
