“RACE” Mode (Quadrifoglio Only)
Activation
It is activated by rotating the selector to position
“RACE”; the displays light up in yellow.RACE Mode
Engine and transmission: adoption of sports
mapping.
The “Performance” screen displays parameters
related to vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate
the trend of the longitudinal/lateral accelerations
(G-meter information), considering gravity
acceleration as a reference unit.
The screen displays the lateral and longitudinal
acceleration peaks. RACE Mode Performance Display

NOTE:
If the brake system overheats, this is communi
-
cated by the Information and Entertainment
system. In this case, allow the system to cool for
a few minutes by driving the vehicle normally
without operating the brakes.
Deactivation
To deactivate the RACE mode, rotate the selector
to the RACE position again and the system will be
set to “d” Dynamic mode.
ALFA ACTIVE SUSPENSION
(AAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The system continuously monitors the damping
of the suspension through the actuator installed
on each shock absorber. The calibration of the
shock absorbers can be adjusted to the
conditions of the road surface and to the dynamic
conditions of the vehicle, improving its comfort
and road handling. The driver can choose, while driving (only in “d” or
“RACE” mode), between two types of suspension
calibration: a more sportier or a more
comfortable type.
By pushing the button, the system prepares the
shock absorber calibration in order to favor
driving comfort.
“Alfa DNA” System Selector
In case of a system failure, the symbol and a
dedicated message will be shown on the
instrument cluster display.
STOP/START SYSTEM
The Stop/Start system automatically shuts off
the engine during a vehicle stop if the required
conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal or
pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically
restart the engine.
The function was designed to increase vehicle
efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, gas
emissions, and sound pollution.

NOTE:
When the Stop/Start system stops the engine,
the power steering is also disabled.
WARNING!
Only activate the RACE mode at the track.
In “RACE”, the sensitivity of the accelerator
pedal increases considerably. Consequently,
driving is less fluid and comfortable. The
driver must ensure full control of the vehicle
at all times to avoid a collision.

the fluid level in the tank is low, contact an
authorized dealer to have the system checked.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
L
IFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
When you park the car, ensure that the doors
and trunk are closed properly to prevent any
lights from remaining on inside the
passenger's compartment.
Do not keep accessories (e.g. radio, hazard
warning lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running.
Before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the negative
battery cable. If you wish to install electrical accessories after
purchasing the car that require permanent
electrical supply (e.g. alarm, etc.), or accessories
which influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact an authorized dealer,
whose qualified staff will evaluate the overall
electrical consumption.

NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering
must be initialized. The warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the other, and
then turn it back to the central position.
BATTERY
The battery does not require the electrolyte to be
topped up with distilled water. A periodic check
carried out at an authorized dealer, however, is
necessary to check efficiency.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
Replacing The Battery
If necessary, replace the battery with another
original battery with the same specifications.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
NOTE:
It will not be possible to open the trunk with a key
or by pushing the button in the passenger
compartment when the battery is disconnected.
So, always position the manual trunk opening
strap on the trunk lock before disconnecting the
battery

Ú
page 220.
CAUTION!
If the charge level remains under 50% for a
long time, the battery may be damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency during a vehicle start. The battery is
also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as 14°F (-10°C).
WARNING!
Battery acid is a corrosive solution and can
burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery
acid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing.
Do not lean over a battery when attaching
clamps

Ú
page 177. If acid splashes in eyes
or on skin, flush the area immediately with
large amounts of water.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the battery.
Do not use a booster battery or any other
booster source with an output greater than
12 Volts. Do not allow cable clamps to touch
each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Disposal Of Used Coolant
Disposal of engine/intercooler coolant is subject
to legal requirements: consult the appropriate
local regulations.

NOTE:

To prevent the fluid from being ingested by
children or animals, do not keep it in open
containers or pour it on the ground. If ingested,
contact a doctor immediately. Eliminate any
traces of fluid from the ground immediately.
When the vehicle stops after a short trip,
steam may be seen coming out from front of
the hood. This is a normal phenomenon which
is due to the presence of rain, snow or a lot of
moisture on the surface of the radiator.
With engine and system cold, do not top up
with coolant beyond the maximum level
indicated on the reservoir in the engine
compartment.
BRAKING SYSTEM
In order to guarantee the efficiency of the braking
system, periodically check its components; for
this operation, contact an authorized dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals

Ú
page 182.

NOTE:
Driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal
may compromise its efficiency, increasing the
risk of accidents. When driving, never keep your
foot on the brake pedal and don’t put unneces-
sary strain on it to prevent the brakes from over -
heating: excess pad wear may cause damage to
the braking system.
When an insufficient oil level is detected,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked.
Always keep the cap of the brake fluid
reservoir (in the engine compartment)
completely closed.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Use only a transmission oil with the same charac -
teristics as those indicated on
Ú
page 234.
Special Additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The automatic
transmission oil is a product designed especially
for this vehicle and its performance may be
compromised through the use of further
additives.
Frequency Of Oil Changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions, it is not
necessary to change the transmission oil.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
battery with the same specifications. It is advised
to contact an authorized dealer for replacement.
WARNING!
Use only the manufacturer recommended
brake fluid
Ú
page 234. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage your
brake system and/or impair its performance.
The proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle
is also identified on the original factory
installed hydraulic master cylinder reservoir.
To avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid
that has been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap
secured at all times. Brake fluid in an open
container absorbs moisture from the air
resulting in a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result
in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts,
causing the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake
fluid can also damage painted and vinyl
surfaces, care should be taken to avoid its
contact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your transmission components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
