WARNING!(Continued)
head restraints are placed in their proper posi-
tions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into
position. If the seatback is not securely locked
into position the seat will not provide the proper
stability for child seats and/or passengers. An
improperly latched seat could cause serious in-
jury.
STEERING WHEEL
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column
upward or downward. It also allows you to lengthen or
shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping con-
trol handle is located below the steering wheel at the

ward (toward the floor). To tilt the steering column,
move the steering wheel upward or downward as
desired. To lengthen or shorten the steering column,
pull the steering wheel outward or push it inward as

Folding Mirrors
The exterior mirrors are hinged to allow the mirror to
pivot forward or rearward to help avoid damage. The
mirror has three detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
Heated Mirrors
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice.
This feature can be activated whenever you
turn on the mirror defroster. The Door
Demist/Defrost button is located in the
switch bank above the Climate Controls.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever, located on the left side of the
steering wheel, controls the operation of the headlights,
headlight high beams, lane change assist and turn

Headlights
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever upward to the
first detent for headlight operation.
NOTE:When the headlights are turned on, the Daytime
Running Lights will be deactivated.
Daytime Running Lights
To activate the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), rotate
the end of the multifunction lever to the Osymbol.
NOTE: The low beams and side/tail lights will not be
on with DRL.
High Beams
With the low beams activated, pull the multifunction
lever towards the steering wheel to turn on the high
beams. A high beam symbol will illuminate in the
cluster to indicate the high beams are on. Pull the
multifunction lever a second time to switch the head-
lights back to low beam.
NOTE: If the vehicle’s ignition is turned OFF, both high
and low beam headlights will also turn off.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel. This will cause the high beam head-
lights to turn on until the lever is released.
Parking Lights
To turn on the parking lights, remove the key or turn
the ignition to OFF/LOCK position and turn on the
headlights.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 31

Follow Me Home/Headlight Delay
When this feature is selected, the driver can choose to
have the headlights remain on for a preset period of
time after the engine is turned OFF.
Activation
Remove the key or turn the ignition to the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position, and pull the multifunction lever
toward the steering wheel within two minutes. Each
time the lever is pulled, the activation of the lights will
be extended by 30 seconds. The activation of the lights
can be extended to a maximum of 210 seconds.
Deactivation
Pull the multifunction lever toward the steering wheel
and hold it for more than two seconds.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective
outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb
is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond
the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash
five times then automatically turn off.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Interior Light
The interior light is located in the headliner in between
the sun visors. The interior light can be set to three
different positions (off/left position, center position,
on/right position).
Using the interior light lens, push the lens to the right
from its center position and the lights are always on.
Push the lens to the left from its center position and the
lights are always off. Leave the lens in the center
position, and the light is turned on and off when the
doors are opened or closed.

•The fuel pump symbol points to the side of
the vehicle where the fuel door is located.
5. “Alfa DNA” Driving Mode Indicator
•This area of the cluster displays which driving
mode the vehicle is currently in. A letter (d, n, or a)
corresponding to the active driving mode (dynamic
or race, natural, all weather) and a dedicated mes-
sage is shown on the display.
NOTE: The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb
check when the ignition is first cycled.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the driver.
With the ignition in the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position
(and the key removed, for vehicles with mechanical
key), opening/closing of a door will activate the display
for viewing, and display the total miles or kilometers in
the odometer. Your instrument cluster display is de-
signed to display important information about your
vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interac-
tive display located on the instrument panel, your
instrument cluster display can show you how systems
are working and give you warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll
through and enter the main menus and submenus. You
can access the specific information you want and make
selections and adjustments.
Location And Controls
The instrument cluster display features a driver-
interactive display that is located in the instrument
cluster.
The instrument cluster display consists of the following:

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the installation of re-
placement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Al-
ways check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac-
ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle toensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system op-
eration or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an after-
market tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
— Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Warning Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
The light will turn on when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN position and may stay
on for as long as four seconds.
