KNOWING YOUR CAR
22 Knob 4 enables the air introduced into the vehicle to reach all areas of the passenger compartment through five distribution
options:
μair from central and side vents and side diffusers;
∑air from central and side vents, side diffusers and footwell diffusers;
∂air from footwell diffusers;
∏air from footwell and side diffusers and from windscreen diffuser;
-air from windscreen diffuser and side diffusers.
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R-1234yf (indicated
on a specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the
compressor coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
These operate when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and for about three
minutes after the ignition key is turned to
STOP or removed unless one of the doors
is opened.
The buttons are located on the central
tunnel.
14)
CONTROLS
1 - opening/closing of left-hand window;
2 - opening/closing of right-hand
window.
Push the corresponding buttons to
open/close the desired window.
When one of the two buttons is pressed
briefly, the window moves in stages; if
the button is held down to open,
“continuous automatic” operation is
activated.
21A0L0002
If the button is pressed again the window
will stop in its current position. If the
button is pressed for several seconds,
the window lowers automatically (only
with ignition key in MAR position).
Automatic continuous operation (where provided)
This is activated by pressing one of the
two buttons for longer than half a
second. The window stops when it
reaches the end of travel position, or
when the button is pressed again.
It can be used on both the driver side and
passenger side, only for lowering the
window.
Electric window system initialisation
After there has been no power supply
for the control units (battery replaced or
disconnected or protective fuses for the
electric window control units replaced),
the automatic operation of the windows
must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be
performed as described below with the
doors closed:
❒ completely open the driver’s door
window keeping the operating button
pressed for at least three seconds after
the (lower) end of travel position;❒ completely raise the driver’s side
window and keep the button pressed for
at least three seconds once the end of
travel position (upper end stop) has been
reached;
❒ repeat stages 1 and 2 for the
passenger-side window;
❒ make sure that the initialisation is
correct by checking that the windows
work automatically.
14)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
their operation, ensure that any
passengers are not at risk from the
moving glass either by personal objects
getting caught in the mechanism or by
being hit by it directly. When leaving the
car, always remove the key from the
ignition to prevent accidental operation
of the electric windows from being a
hazard for those still on board.

Warning lights on panelMeaningWhat to do
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol and corresponding message appear on the
display if a fault is detected in one of the following lights:
❒ daytime running lights (DRLs)
❒ side lights
❒ dipped beam headlights
❒ direction indicators
❒ rear fog lights
❒ reversing lights
❒ number plate lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or more
blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a break in the
electrical connection.
Check and replace the concerned fuses as shown in the
“If a fuse blows” paragraph in the “In an emergency”
chapter; if this does not solve the fault, check and replace
the concerned bulbs as described in “Replacing an exterior
bulb” in the “In an emergency” chapter.
Should this operation also fail to resolve the fault, contact
the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership, for a
comprehensive check of the electrical system.
SERVICE (SCHEDULED SERVICING)
The digital warning light appears automatically, together
with an associated message, with the key at MAR, starting
from 2,000 km (or equivalent distance in miles) from the
next scheduled servicing operation and shown again every
200 km (or equivalent distance in miles).Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
The operations of the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will be
performed and the message will be reset.

At times, a problem may interfere with our journey.
The pages on emergencies can help you to deal with critical
situations independently and with calm.
In an emergency we recommend you call the freephone number
found in the Warranty Booklet. It is also possible
to call the national or international
universal freephone number to search

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Check that the corresponding
contacts are not oxidised and that the
corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this chapter.
❒ replace blown bulbs with others of the
same type and power;
❒ after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or
damp or after heavy rain or after
washing, the surface of headlights or rear
lights may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault and
does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist
disappears quickly turning the lights on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser,
extending progressively towards the
edges.
85)The use of hazard warning lights is
governed by the Highway Code of the
country you are driving in: comply with
legal requirements.
IMPORTANT
86)Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried out
properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
87) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
88) Due to the high supply voltage, gas
discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be
replaced by specialised personnel: danger
of death! Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
9)Halogen bulbs must be handled by
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the
bulb dry.
WARNING

87
NUMBER PLATE LIGHTS
To change the bulbs, proceed as follows:
❒ press the side of the lens (as shown in
fig. 64 ) to press the retaining clip and
then remove the number plate light
cluster 1;
64A0L0136
❒ rotate the bulb holder 2 fig. 65
anticlockwise, extract the bulb 3 and
replace it.
65A0L0099
REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they
intervene (blow) in the event of a failure
or improper action on the system.
90) 91) 92) 93) 94) 10)
FUSE BOXES
The fuses are grouped in two fuse boxes
located in the engine and passenger

This is located by the side of the battery
fig. 66: to access the fuses undo
the screws 1 and remove the cover 2.
66A0L0137
89)The rear fog light and the reversing
light are located close to the exhaust
pipes; take the utmost care not to get
burnt during the bulb replacement.
IMPORTANT

The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each fuse
is shown on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you
close cover 2 on the fuse box.
