hile distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, resulting in an accident and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution
when using any device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular
telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devi\
ces, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while
the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the us\
e of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is
always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.

(U.S.), www.alfaromeo.ca (Canada) or your local Alfa Romeo brand dealer.
WARNING : Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway motor
vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates,
and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and\
birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine
except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more informa\
tion go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle .
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call
a cab, a rideshare, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judgment
is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
Accessories Purchased By The Owner
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact an authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical
system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

NOTE:
Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect effi-
ciency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.).
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.
Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices
FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance with manufacturer's
specifications.

NOTE:
Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed. This also may void the warranty
in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.
WARNING!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be
fatally injured.

In this section, you will find important information
to help you become familiar with the features
needed to operate your vehicle, and how they
function.
KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote
trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock or
unlock the doors and trunk lid. The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system. The key fob also contains an
emergency key, which is stored inside the key fob.

NOTE:

The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if
the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device. This may
result in poor performance.
With ignition in the ON position and the vehicle
moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands
are disabled. Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery can
be verified by referring to the instrument cluster,
which will display directions to follow

Ú
page 238.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice
within five seconds to unlock all the doors and the
trunk lid. To lock all the doors and the trunk lid,
push the lock button once. If the trunk lid is open
when the lock button is pushed, the trunk lid will
lock when it is closed.
The current unlock setting can be changed
through the radio system menu, so that the
system unlocks:
All doors on the first push of the key fob unlock
button.
The driver door on the first push of the key fob
unlock button. When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn
signals will flash and the illuminated entry system
will be activated.

NOTE:
If one or more doors are open when the lock
button is pushed, or the trunk lid is open, the
doors will lock. The doors will unlock again auto
-
matically if the key is left inside the passenger
compartment, otherwise the doors will stay
locked.
Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/
unlocking the doors and activation of the courtesy
light upon unlocking the doors can be activated or
deactivated through the radio system. For further
information, refer to the Information and
Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement.
Trunk Lid Opening
Rapidly push the trunk lid key fob button twice to
open the trunk lid. The turn signals will flash to
indicate that the trunk lid has been opened.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The Outside In An
Emergency
If the battery is discharged or the key fob is
inoperable, you can lock or unlock the doors from
the outside by inserting the blade of the
emergency key, found inside the key fob, into the
door handle lock cylinder and turn the emergency
key as follows.
Lock — Turn the emergency key to the right
(clockwise)
Unlock — Turn the emergency key to the left
(counterclockwise)
22_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 19

21

Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the key
fob.
Programming And Requesting Additional
Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by an
authorized dealer.

NOTE:

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to
another vehicle.
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer. This procedure consists of
programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics. A blank key fob is one that has never
been programmed.

NOTE:

When having the Engine Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.
For Quadrifoglio models, if you need a
replacement key fob, contact an authorized
dealer.
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of
whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button
ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to
the vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two
seconds if an invalid key fob is used to start the
engine.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for
three seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb
check, it indicates that someone used an invalid
key fob to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off
after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is
a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have
the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an
authorized dealer.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.

NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key
Ú
page 238.
WARNING!
The integrated key fob contains a coin cell
battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a
chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery
is swallowed, it can cause severe internal
burns in just two hours and can lead to
death.
If you think a battery may have been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the
body, seek immediate medical attention.
Keep new and used batteries away from
children. If the battery compartment does
not close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children.
CAUTION!
The battery replacement operation must be
done with care, in order not to damage the
electronic key.
WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Always remember to place the ignition in the
OFF position.
CAUTION!
The Engine Immobilizer system is not compati -
ble with some aftermarket Remote Start sys -
tems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.

the vehicle will start and then shut down in
10 seconds.
The park lamps will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window operation is
disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote
Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ACC position
before the Remote Start sequence can be
repeated for a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Trunk closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pressed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
System not disabled from previous Remote
Start event
Vehicle Security system indicator flashing
Ignition in OFF position
Fuel level meets minimum requirement
Vehicle Security system is not signaling an

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not
illuminated
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote
Start system, either push and release the unlock
button on the key fob to unlock the doors, or
unlock the vehicle using Passive Entry via the
door handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security
system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the
15 minute cycle, push and release the START/
STOP ignition button while pressing the brake
pedal.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off
with another push and release of the Remote
Start button on the key fob, or if the engine is
allowed to run for the entire 15 minute cycle.
REMOTE START COMFORT SYSTEMS —
I
F EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is activated, the heated
steering wheel and front heated seat features will
automatically activate when ambient
temperature is less than 39°F (4°C). These
features will stay on through the duration of
Remote Start.

NOTE:
This feature can be activated through the radio
system. Refer to the Information and Entertain -
ment System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
further information.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause serious injury or
death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation
of the Remote Start system, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

Passive Entry system if it is located next to a
mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic
device; these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the Passive Entry
system from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/
snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in
a slower response time.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and (if equipped) will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
