screen wiper will be stopped
automatically.
With ring nut A fig. 23 in
position,
the screen wiper will automatically
adapt its operating speed to the speed
of the car.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
screen washer. Keeping the stalk pulled
for more than half a second, with just
one movement it is possible to operate
the screen washer jet and the wiper at
the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.
WARNING
12)Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
restored (even after restarting that car with
the key), contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
13)Do not operate the screen wiper with
the blades lifted from the windscreen.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows the
desired car speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal. This device can be used at a
speed above 30 km/h on long stretches
of dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.
Activation
Turn ring nut A fig. 24 to.
The device cannot be engaged in 1st or
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 5th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed
the stored speed.When the device is activated, the
digital warning light switches on
together with the relevant message on
the display.
Storing speed
Proceed as follows:turn ring nut A fig. 24 toand
press the accelerator to reach the
desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the car
speed is now stored and you can
therefore release the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you
release the pedal, the car goes back to
the speed stored previously.
Restoring speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by pressing the brake pedal,
the stored speed can be restored as
follows:
accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
press the CANCEL/RESUME button
