ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must
be initialised again in case of faulty
sunroof operation.
Proceed as follows:
press button 1 next to thesymbol
to bring the roof into completely closed
position;
bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds;
set the ignition device to AVV;
hold button 1 down for at least
10 seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
within 5 seconds hold button 1 down:
the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
from the beginning.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, make sure to
take the key with you to avoid the risk of
injury to those still inside the car due to
accidental operation of the sunroof.
Improper use of the roof can be dangerous.
Before and during operation, always check
that no-one is exposed to the risk of being
injured by the moving sunroof or by objects
getting caught or hit by it.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.

ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Start) run down or flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
33)
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
park the vehicle in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic;
engage a gear (versions with manual
gearbox) or select P (Park) mode
(versions with automatic transmission);
with engine idling, press the start
button.Vehicles with electronic key (Keyless
Start)
If the vehicle speed is above 5 mph
(8 km/h), it is still possible to switch off
the engine by selecting an operating
mode other than P (Park). To switch off
the engine in this situation, hold down the
ignition device button for a while or press
it 3 times in a row within a few seconds.
WARNING
100)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in oxygen
and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
101)The electro-hydraulic braking system
is not active until the engine starts running.
So, the brake pedal travel will be longer than
normal. This does not indicate a fault.
102)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
30)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).

the same time moving the gear lever for
the transmission to position P (Park).
SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in the
event of a dangerous condition for the
vehicle.
If:
the vehicle speed is below 2 mph
(3 km/h);
on vehicles with automatic
transmission, a transmission operating
mode different from P (Park) is activated;
the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
the driver side door is open;

ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has been
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret code
according to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits,
from 0 to 9: to insert the first digit of the
code, turn the Rotary Pad and press to
confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the Rotary Pad:
the system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, thesystem displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays "Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Wait for 30 min.".
After the text has disappeared it is
possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the
system. The vehicle radio passport shows
the system model, serial number and
secret code.
In the event that the radio passport is
lost, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you can
give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look at
the screen for a long time, pull over to a
safe place so as not to be distracted
while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in the
event of a fault. Otherwise the system
might be damaged. Contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system repaired.
