headlights to turn on, and remain on, until the
lever is released.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use of
a camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
This function is enabled with the radio system,
and can only be activated with the light switch
turned to (auto).
If the high beam headlights are on, the blue icon/
warning light will illuminate in the instrument
panel.
When the speed is higher than 25 mph (40 km/h)
and the function is active, the lights will turn off if
the multifunction lever is pushed again.

When the speed is lower than 15 mph (25 km/h)
and the function is active, the function switches
the high beam headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated quickly
again (pushing the multifunction lever towards
the instrument panel), the warning light/icon
will illuminate in the instrument panel, and the
high beam headlights will turn on constantly until
the speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed again with the
Automatic High Beam Headlights activated, the
Automatic High Beam Headlights function
deactivates.
To deactivate the automatic headlight function,
rotate the headlight switch to the position.

NOTE:

If the system recognizes heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.
The Automatic High Beam functionality may
also be influenced by:
• Reflections on road signs
• Dim headlights from oncoming traffic
• Poor weather conditions
• Presence of dirt or other obstructions on
the sensor
• Damage to the windshield

beam. Push the lever a second time to switch the
headlights back to low beam. Pull the lever
toward you for a temporary high beam on,
“flash to pass” scenario.
RED SYMBOLS
Alfa Steering Torque (AST) Failure
The switching on of the telltale signals a
failure in the automatic steering
correction system.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.
Alternator Failure
The switching on of the telltale with
engine on corresponds to an alternator
failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Automatic Transmission Failure
The telltale turns on, together with a
buzzer warning, to indicate that the
automatic transmission is faulty.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Disc Temperature
When the symbol turns on, it indicates
an excessive temperature of the brake
discs. Let the breaking system cool
down by reducing the speed.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System
Activation
The DAA system detects indications that
the driver is feeling fatigued and
illuminates this warning that the driver
should pull over and take a break.
Stop to pause while driving, pulling the car over in
safe conditions.
Door Open
The telltale turns on when one or more
doors are not completely shut. An
acoustic signal is activated with the
doors open and the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
Power Steering Failure
If the telltale remains on, you may
not have steering assistance and the
effort required to operate the steering
wheel may be increased; steering is,
however, possible.

NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering
wheel must be initialized. The Power Steering
Failure light on the instrument panel will illumi -
nate 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.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light, along with the related
message, signals a failure in the ETC.
If a failure is detected, the warning light turns on
while the engine is running.
Place the gear selector in the Park (P) position
and the ignition in the off position: the warning
light should switch off. If the warning light stays
on with engine running, the vehicle can still be
driven.
If the warning light flashes with the engine
running, immediate intervention is required. A
loss of performance, irregular/high idling speed
or engine stopping might take place and the
vehicle may need to be towed.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the failure eliminated.
CAUTION!
Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may
severely damage the gearbox, with resulting
breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact
with hot engine or with exhaust components
at high temperature could cause fires.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
Operation
The Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD) carries out
a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
vehicle related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver of when these
components are no longer in peak condition by
switching on the Engine Check/Malfunction
Indicator warning light on the instrument panel.The aim of the OBD system (Onboard Diagnostic)
is to:
Monitor the efficiency of the system
Indicate an increase in emissions
Indicate the need to replace damaged
components
The vehicle also has a connector, which can
interface with appropriate tools, that makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can be carried out by an
authorized dealer.

NOTE:
After eliminating a fault, to check the system
completely, an authorized dealer is obliged to run
tests and, if necessary certain road tests.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
C
YBERSECURITY
Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a
connection port to allow access to information
related to the performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians may
need to access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected to
the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
• Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, couldbe impaired or a loss of vehicle controlcould occur that may result in an acci-dent involving serious injury or death.
• Access, or allow others to access, infor-
mation stored in your vehicle systems,including personal information.

ALFA DNA SELECTOR
ALFA DNA SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an Alfa DNA system
selector (located on the center console). There
are up to four modes of operation to be selected
according to driving style and road conditions:Alfa DNA System Selector
d = Dynamic (sports driving mode).
n = Natural (mode for driving in normal
conditions).
a = Advanced Efficiency (ECO driving mode for
maximum fuel savings).
RACE = track race driving mode (if equipped).
 = Adjusts the calibration of the active
suspension (if equipped).
Unlike with the other modes, there is no detent
for the RACE position. When the system selector
is rotated to the RACE position, it will return to its
initial position "d". When the engine is stopped, the selector returns
to “n” (Natural) mode.
The symbol of the active mode lights up in red on
the selector.
On the instrument cluster display, the different
modes are characterized by different colors:
Natural - Blue
Dynamic - Red
Advanced Efficiency - Green
RACE - Yellow
Mode Display
Each driving mode is graphically different in
frame color and contents of each individual
"performance" screen.
DRIVING MODES
“Natural” Mode
“Natural” Mode is characterized by reduced
engine performance and ECO shifting strategy for
the automatic transmission. Activation
It is activated by rotating the selector to the
letter “n”; the display will light up in blue.

To Use SOS Emergency Call
Push and hold the SOS Emergency Call button for
a few seconds. The LED, located next to the SOS
button, will blink once and then stay on indicating
a call has been placed.

NOTE:
If the SOS Emergency Call button is accidentally
pushed, there is a 10 second delay before the call
is placed. The system will issue a verbal alert that
a call is about to be made. To cancel the call
connection, push the SOS Emergency Call button
again.
Once a connection between the vehicle and an
emergency service operator is made, the SOS
Emergency Call system will transmit the following
important vehicle information to the operator:
Indication that the occupant placed an
SOS Emergency Call.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The last known GPS coordinates of the vehicle.
You will then be able to speak with the emergency
service operator to determine if additional help is
needed.
The SOS Emergency Call has priority over other
audio sources, which will be muted. If you have a
phone connected via Bluetooth®, it is discon -
nected and reconnected at the end of the SOS
Emergency Call. Voice prompts will guide you
during the SOS Emergency Call. If a connection is
made between an emergency service operator
and your vehicle, emergency service operators
may record conversations and sounds within your vehicle once a connection is made, and by using
the service you consent to having this information
shared.

NOTE:
If you have not subscribed to the SOS service or if
the service is not available or has expired, the
Connect system will display a dedicated screen
when the button is pressed informing you to
contact the national emergency number 9-1-1
(the respective graphic button will be displayed to
make the call if you have connected your mobile
phone via Bluetooth® The call to the national
emergency number 9-1-1 will be made via the
mobile phone by pressing red graphic button
shown on the Connect system display.
SOS Screen Message
SOS Emergency Call System Limitations
When the ignition switches to the RUN position,
the Emergency Call system runs a routine check.
During this check, a red indicator will illuminate
for about three seconds. This signal must not be
confused with a fault warning. In the event of a
malfunction, the red indicator would remain on. If the SOS Emergency Call system detects a
malfunction, any of the following may occur at the
time the malfunction is detected:
NOTE:
The SOS Call function may not be available for the
first minute after the vehicle is started
The LED next to the SOS button will be contin
-
uously illuminated red.
The Emergency Call system is powered by its
own non-rechargeable battery to ensure
operation, even when the vehicle battery is
discharged or disconnected. When system
battery is discharged, the instrument cluster
display will show a special message, different
than other messages referring to other types
of faults. In this case, the system works only if
powered by the vehicle’s battery.
The instrument cluster will display a message
alerting you to contact the Service Network
along with a failure warning light.
Even if the SOS Emergency Call system is fully
functional, external or uncontrolled factors may
prevent or stop SOS Emergency Call operation.
These include, but are not limited to, the following
factors:
The ignition is in OFF position.
The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact.
The SOS Emergency Call system software and/
or hardware is damaged during a vehicle
collision.
There are network problems that could limit or
impair service operation (e.g., error by
