INEFFICIENT ABS SYSTEM
Turning the ignition key to MARthe warning light on the dial lights up, but it should go off after
approx. 4 seconds.
The warning light turns on together with the message + symbol on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display, when the system is inefficient. In this case the braking system keeps its effectiveness
unchanged, but without the potential offered by the ABS system. Caution is advisable, particularly
in all cases of less than perfect grip. It is therefore necessary to contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Ser-
vices as soon as possible.
Inefficient EBD electronic braking distributor
x
>
+The car is fitted with electronic braking distributor (EBD). The turning
on at the same time of the xand>warning lights on the dial togeth-
er with the message + symbol on the reconfigurable multifunction display, with
the engine running indicates an EBD system failure; in this case heavy braking
may cause the rear wheels to lock before time, with the possibility of skidding.
Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo Authorised Service to have
the system checked.
WARNING
The turning on only of the >warning light on the dial together with
the message + symbol on the reconfigurable multifunction display, with
the engine running normally indicates a failure of the ABS system only. In this
case the braking system maintains its effectiveness, without however the an-
tilock function. In these conditions, the effectiveness of the EBD may also be re-
duced, In this case too, you are recommended to contact the nearest Alfa Romeo
Authorised Service immediately, driving in such a way as to avoid sharp brak-
ing, to have the system checked.

es the speed of the fan, thus the amount
of air admitted to the passenger compart-
ment; the 16 selectable speeds are shown
on a bar (in steps of 3) up to a maximum
of 6 bars lit:
- maximum fan speed = all bars lit;
- minimum fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off (all bars off) only
if the climate control compressor has been
switched off pressing button (14)

WING MIRROR
AND REARSCREEN
DEFROSTING/DEMISTING
BUTTON
((fig. 90)
Pressing button (9)
(turns on demist-
ing/defrosting of the rearscreen and, if pre-
sent, the wing mirror coils.
The turning on of this function is shown by
the turning on of the led on the button.
This function is timed and switches off au-
tomatically after 20 minutes, or pressing the
button again; the function is also switched
off when the engine is stopped and will not
be switched on again the next time the en-
gine is started.
IMPORTANTThe system turns on
rearscreen heating automatically if the tem-
perature is below 3
°C.
IMPORTANTDo not apply stickers on
the inside of the rearscreen over the heat-
ing filaments to avoid damage that might
cause it to stop working properly.
POLLEN FILTER
Have the conditions of the filter checked
by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services at least
once a year, preferably at the onset of sum-
mer.
If the vehicle is used mainly in dusty or pol-
luted areas it should be checked and if nec-
essary replaced, at shorter intervals.
A0A0214m
The filter has the specific capability of com-
bining the mechanical filtering of the air with
an electrostatic effect so that the outside air
admitted to the passenger compartment is
purified and free of particles such as dust,
pollen, etc.
In addition to the above, it also effective-
ly reduces the concentration of pullutants.
The filtering action takes place under all
air inlet conditions and it is clearly most ef-
fective with the windows shut.The failure to replace the
filter may considerably re-
duce the effectiveness of
the climate control system up to
blocking the air flow from the out-
lets and vents.

pillar, which is triggered in the event of a
crash of a certain magnitude to interrupt the
flow of fuel.
The cutting in of the inertial switch is shown
on the display of the instrument cluster.If a smell of fuel is noted
following an accident, or
the fuel system is leaking, to avoid
the risk of fire do not reset the
switch.

STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a
gear engaged or in neutral (N) provided
that the brake pedal is fully depressed.
IMPORTANTIf the brake pedal is not
depressed, the starter motor will not turn,
thus preventing the engine from being start-
ed.
After starting, the gearbox sets to neutral
automatically, the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display shows the letter (N) and the
system selects the semiautomatic operating
mode (manual).
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
AND SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to STOPthe en-
gine turns off but the Selespeed system is
still active waiting for the car to stop com-
pletely. After about 2 - 4 seconds from when
the key has been moved to STOP, the hy-
draulic part is deactivated and the reconfig-
urable multifunction display is turned off im-
mediately afterwards; at this point is the Se-
lespeed system deactivated.
The gear selected before switching off the
engine remains engaged.
If the engine is stopped with the gearbox
in neutral (N), the buzzer calls the driver’s
attention so that the car can be put in safe-
ty conditions engaging first gear (1) or re-
verse (R). In this case, the ignition key
should be turned to MARand with the
brake pedal pressed, engage first gear (1)
or reverse (R).
IMPORTANTIf the engine is stopped
with the CITYmode engaged, this will be
stored by the system. Indeed, the next time
the engine is started, this condition will still
be active.IMPORTANTShould the engine go off
with the car on the move, the next time it
is started the Alfa Romeo CODE warning
light (Y) may come on. In this case check
that the warning light goes off turning the
engine off and on again with the vehicle sta-
tionary. If not contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services.
NEVER leave the car with
the gears in neutral (N).
WARNING
Never remove the ignition
key when the car is mov-
ing. In addition to the fact that the
Selespeed system would not work
properly up to stopping the car, the
steering wheel would lock auto-
matically the first time it is turned.
WARNING
If the engine fails to start
with the gear engaged, the
driver is informed of the potential-
ly dangerous situation due to the
fact that the gearbox is in neutral
by the buzzer and by the reconfig-
urable multifunction display.
