DRIVER ATTENTION ASSIST (DAA)
S
YSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Driver Attention Assist (DAA) system detects
when the driver is feeling fatigued and warns the
driver to pull over and take a break.
To Activate/Deactivate
The DAA system can be activated and deactivated
through the radio system by selecting the
following in order:
1. “Driver Assistance”
2. “Driver Attention Assist”
System Intervention
Using information from the front camera, the
system implements two operating logics:
The first operating logic takes the driving style
into account, observing the road and detecting
to what extent the driver can continue driving
with few lane crossing events.
The second operating logic measures the time
spent behind the wheel with the vehicle speed
above 40 mph (60 km/h) and below 110 mph (180 km/h). If the “Standard” option is
selected, in these conditions, the “Dozy Driver”
message may appear after three hours of
driving. If the “Early” option is selected and
these conditions occur, the “Dozy Driver”
message will be displayed after two hours of
driving.
NOTE:
If the conditions described previously are not
detected continuously during the entire driving
period, the “Dozy Driver” message may be
displayed later than two or three hours. If the
driving style indicates that the driver is unable to
follow the road trajectory and respect the hori-
zontal lane markings, the red symbol will appear
on the instrument cluster display to suggest that
the driver should stop for a break. An audible
signal will also sound.
If the driver
accepts the suggestion provided by
the system by pushing the MENU button on the
multifunction lever, the message will disappear
from the display and the symbol will be displayed
in the dedicated area of the instrument cluster
display until the next engine shutdown.
If the driver ignores the warning provided by the
system and does not stop, the message will
continue to remain on the display, along with the
symbol.
NOTE:
In the event of a DAA system failure, an amber
symbol will appear in the instrument cluster
display along with a dedicated message.
If the ABS activates, “ABS ACTIVE” will display
in place of the DAA symbol and will remain
active until the ABS deactivates. DAA Warning Message
DAA Warning Icon
Changing The System Sensitivity
The DAA system intervention sensitivity can be
adjusted through the radio system within the
“Driver Assistance” menu.
NOTE:
If “Race” mode (if equipped) is activated, the
DAA system will be automatically deactivated.
The system sensitivity cannot be changed in
the event of a camera system failure.
WARNING!
The DAA system is an aid for driving and does
not relieve the driver of the responsibility of
driving the vehicle. Always drive alert and get
plenty of rest before driving. If you experience
fatigue while driving, do not wait for the DAA to
intervene with a warning. Choose a safe and
secure location where you can pull over safely
for a break. Only return to the road when you
are in the right physical and mental condition
to prevent endangering yourself and others.

Engagement/Disengagement
The system may be disengaged (and engaged
again) in the “Driver Assistance” menu of the
Information and Entertainment System.
The system can be deactivated even with the
ignition device in the ON position.
NOTE:
The system status can be changed with car at a
standstill only.
Select from among three operating modes:
Warning And Braking: the system (if active), in
addition to the visual and audible warnings,
provides limited braking, automatic braking,
and additional assistance in braking stage
where the driver does not brake sufficiently in
the event of a potential front-end collision.
Only Warning : the system (if active), does not
provide limited braking, but guarantees
automatic braking or additional assistance in
braking stage where the driver does not brake
at all or not sufficiently enough in the event of
a potential front-end collision.
Disabled : the system does not provide visual
and audible warnings, limited braking,
automatic braking, or additional assistance in
braking stage. The system will therefore
provide no indication of a possible collision.
Activation/Deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning system is
activated whenever the engine is started
regardless of what is shown on the radio system.
Following a deactivation, the system will not warn
the driver about the possible collision with the
preceding vehicle, regardless of the setting
selected with the radio system.
NOTE:
Each time the engine is started, the system is
activated regardless of what setting was selected
when the engine was turned off.
The system is active:
Each time the engine is started
In the radio system
When the ignition is in the ON position
When the vehicle speed is between 2 mph
(4 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h)
When the front seat belts are fastened
NOTE:
If the seat belts of the front seats are not correctly
fastened, the system will not intervene on the
braking system (only audible and visual signals
will be provided).
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be changed
through the radio system menu, choosing from
one of the following three options: "Near",
"Medium" or "Far". Refer to the description in the
Information and Entertainment System Owner’s
Manual Supplement for how to change the
settings.
The default setting is "Medium". With this setting,
the system warns the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is at a
standard distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far", the
system will warn the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is at a
greater distance, thus providing the possibility of
acting on the brakes more lightly and gradually. This setting provides the driver with the maximum
possible reaction time to prevent a potential
collision.
NOTE:
The “Far” setting may result in a greater number
of FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
With the option set to "Near", the system will alert
the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front when that vehicle is close. This setting
offers the driver a lower reaction time compared
to the "Medium" and "Far" settings, in the event of
a potential collision, but permits more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
NOTE:
The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number
of FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in the
memory when the engine is turned off.
System Limited Operation Warning
If a dedicated message is displayed, a condition
limiting the system operation may have occurred.
The possible reasons of this limitation are if
something is blocking the camera view, or a fault
is present.
If an obstruction is signaled, clean the area of the
windshield.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in normal
conditions, the system may be not completely
available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal and
complete operation. Should the fault persist,
contact an authorized dealer.

SAFETY
140
System Failure Signaling
If the system turns off and a dedicated message
is shown on the display, it means that there is a
fault with the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the vehicle,
but you are advised to contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar cannot
detect obstacles correctly, the system is
deactivated and a dedicated message appears
on the display. This generally occurs in the event
of poor visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to obstructions such as
mud, dirt or ice on the fascia/bumper. In such
cases, a dedicated message will be shown on the
display and the system will be deactivated. This
message can sometimes appear in conditions of
high reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflective tiles
or ice or snow). When the conditions limiting the
system functions end, it will go back to normal
and complete operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message could
be displayed when the radar is not detecting any
vehicles or objects within its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the reason
behind this message, check if the sensor is dirty.
It could be necessary to clean or remove any
obstructions in the area.
If the message appears frequently, even in the
absence of atmospheric conditions such as snow, rain, mud or other obstructions, contact an
authorized dealer for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions, manually
removing the decorative cover trim and cleaning
the radar surface could be required. Have this
operation performed at an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not install devices,
accessories, or aerodynamic attachments in
front of the sensor or darken it in any way, as this
can compromise the correct functioning of the
system.
Frontal Collision Alarm With Active Braking —
If Equipped
If this function is selected, the brakes are
operated to reduce the speed of the vehicle in the
event of potential collision.
This function applies an additional braking
pressure if the braking pressure applied by the
driver does not suffice to prevent potential
collision.
The function is active with speed above 2 mph
(4 km/h).
NOTE:
When using an automatic car wash it is recom
-
mended to deactivate the system through the
settings of the radio system. The system may
detect the presence of a car, a wall or another
obstacle and activate. Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system intervention
might be unexpected or delayed. The driver must
therefore be very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle.
Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or not
aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the vehicle.
NOTE:
In particularly complex traffic conditions, the
driver can deactivate the system manually
through the radio system.
If the driver presses the brake pedal fully or
makes an excessive steering maneuver during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may deactivate (e.g. to allow a
possible maneuver to avoid the obstacle).
The FCW system is automatically deactivated
when operating in race mode and a warning
message will be displayed on the instrument
cluster

SAFETY
144
The TPMS should not be used as a tire
pressure gauge while adjusting your tire
pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire will
cause the tire to overheat, and can lead to tire
failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gauge, even if underin -
flation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in
your vehicle are the restraint systems:
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
F
EATURES
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air
Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on others.
If you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air
bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly must be secured in
the appropriate child restraint or belt-posi -
tioning booster seat in a rear seating position
Ú
page 158.
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint
Ú
page 158.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you
are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the
front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and deploy -
ment occurs, the side air bags will inflate forcefully into the space between occupants
and the door and occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled
person, see
Ú
page 236 for customer
service contact information.
SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road
may be a poor driver and could cause a collision
that includes you. This can happen far away from
home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in
a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
WARNING!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat. If
the vehicle does not have a rear seat, do not
transport a rear-facing child restraint in that
vehicle.

PERIODIC SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD
M
AKE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness. Check the
tires (including spare) for proper cold inflation
pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.
Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or
brake fluid leaks are suspected the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.
EXHAUST GAS
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have
an authorized dealer inspect the complete
exhaust system and adjacent body areas for
broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger
compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust
system each time the vehicle is raised for
lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNINGS
It is recommended to only use mild soap and
water to clean your floor mats. After cleaning,
always check your floor mat has been
properly installed and is secured to your
vehicle using the floor mat fasteners by
lightly pulling mat.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you. To
avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined areas any longer than needed to
move your vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/
liftgate/rear doors open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT
use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running, adjust your heating or
cooling controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas, which can kill. Never run the engine in a
closed area, such as a garage, and never sit
in a parked vehicle with the engine running
for an extended period. If the vehicle is
stopped in an open area with the engine
running for more than a short period, adjust
the ventilation system to force fresh, outside
air into the vehicle.
Guard against carbon monoxide with proper
maintenance. Have the exhaust system
inspected every time the vehicle is raised.
Have any abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side
windows fully open.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock your
vehicle.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Correct servicing permits the performance of the
vehicle to be maintained over time, as well as
limited running costs and safeguarding the
efficiency of the safety systems.
This chapter explains how.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a
long life for the vehicle under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned a series
of checks and services for your vehicle at fixed
intervals based on distance and time, as
described in the Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always necessary to
carefully follow the instructions in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an authorized
dealer according to a set time schedule. If, during
each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried
out with the owner’s explicit consent only.
NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing intervals are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
You are advised to inform an authorized dealer of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every month or every 600 miles (1,000 km) or
before long trips check and, if necessary, top off:
Engine coolant level.
Brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
authorized dealer as soon as possible).
Windshield washer fluid level.
Tire inflation pressure and condition.
Operation of lighting system (headlights,
direction indicators, hazard warning lights,
etc.).
Operation of windshield washing/wiping
system and positioning/wear of wiper blades.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
Oil consumption of the engine depends on
conditions and driving style. For this reason, the
engine oil level must be checked every
1,860 miles (3,000 km), and top off if necessary
Ú
page 188.
HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is used under one of the following
conditions:
Dusty roads.
Short, repeated journeys less than 4 miles
(7 km) at sub-zero outside temperatures.
Engine often idling or driving long distances at
low speeds or long periods of inactivity.
In the event of a long period of inactivity. The following checks must be carried out more
often than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
Check cleanliness of hood and trunk locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage.
Visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust/fuel
system/brakes) and rubber elements
(sleeves/bushes, etc.).
Check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte).
Visually inspect conditions of the accessory
drive belts.
Check and, if necessary, change engine oil and
replace oil filter.
Check and, if necessary, replace cabin air
filter.
Check and, if necessary, replace engine air
cleaner.
Severe Duty All Models
Vehicles that are operated in a dusty and off-road
environment, or predominately at idle or very low
engine RPM are known as Severe Duty vehicles.
It is recommended that you change engine oil at
4,000 miles (6,500 km) or 350 hours of engine
run time.
23_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 182
Page 197 of 248

195
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Check
Your vehicle has two cooling systems and they
both need to be checked to ensure they are at
proper fill levels.
Check the engine coolant and intercooler coolant
level every oil change or before long trips.
If there are impurities in the engine coolant, the
system must be drained, flushed and refilled:
contact an authorized dealer.
Check the front part of the condenser for any
buildup of insects, leaves or other debris. Should
it be dirty, clean it by spraying delicately with
water.Check the hoses of the engine/intercooler
cooling system to ensure that the rubber has not
deteriorated and that there are no cracks, tears,
cuts or obstructions in the expansion tank side
and radiator side connectors. Should there be
any doubt regarding leaks from the system (e.g. if
frequent top ups are required), have the seal
checked at an authorized dealer.
With the engine off and at normal operating
temperature, check that the cooling system
radiator cap is closed properly.
NOTE:
Before removing the coolant reservoir cap, wait
for the system to cool down.
Topping Up / Draining / Flushing The Engine/
Intercooler Coolant
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, have
cleaning and flushing carried out at an authorized
dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals
Ú
page 182.
NOTE:
For topping up, use a fluid with the same
characteristics as those indicated on
Ú
page 233.
Do not use pure water, alcohol-based coolants,
corrosions inhibitors or additional anti-rust
products because they may be incompatible
with the engine coolant and cause the clogging
of the radiator. The use of propylene
glycol-based coolant is also not recommended.
Use care when filling under hood fluids such as
engine oil, windshield washer fluid, antifreeze
etc. to minimize spillage onto the top of the
engine. Any excess fluid that is spilled onto the
top of the engine should be removed using
compressed air or an absorbent cloth.
Engine Cooling/Intercooler System Cap
To prevent loss of engine coolant, make sure that
the expansion tank cap is closed. If it is open,
screw it completely until you reach/hear the click.
Periodically check the cap and clean it from any
foreign bodies that may have deposited on the
external surface.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never open a cooling system pressure cap
when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry away
from the radiator cooling fan when the hood
is raised. The fan starts automatically and
may start at any time, whether the engine is
running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling fan,
disconnect the fan motor lead or turn the
ignition to the OFF position. The fan is
temperature controlled and can start at any
time the ignition is in the ON position.
WARNING!
Do not open hot engine cooling system.
Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when
the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or
remove the cap to cool an overheated
engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in
the cooling system. To prevent scalding or
injury, do not remove the pressure cap while
the system is hot or under pressure.
Do not use a pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or
engine damage may result.
WARNING!
Never add coolant with the engine hot or
overheated.
Do not attempt to cool an overheated engine
by loosening or removing the cap. The heat
causes a considerable increase in pressure
in the cooling system.
To prevent damage to the engine, only use
the engine cooling circuit caps provided.
23_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 195

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
196
Disposal Of Used Coolant
Disposal of engine/intercooler coolant is subject
to legal requirements: consult the appropriate
local regulations.
NOTE:
To prevent the fluid from being ingested by
children or animals, do not keep it in open
containers or pour it on the ground. If ingested,
contact a doctor immediately. Eliminate any
traces of fluid from the ground immediately.
When the vehicle stops after a short trip,
steam may be seen coming out from front of
the hood. This is a normal phenomenon which
is due to the presence of rain, snow or a lot of
moisture on the surface of the radiator.
With engine and system cold, do not top up
with coolant beyond the maximum level
indicated on the reservoir in the engine
compartment.
BRAKING SYSTEM
In order to guarantee the efficiency of the braking
system, periodically check its components; for
this operation, contact an authorized dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals
Ú
page 182.
NOTE:
Driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal
may compromise its efficiency, increasing the
risk of accidents. When driving, never keep your
foot on the brake pedal and don’t put unneces-
sary strain on it to prevent the brakes from over -
heating: excess pad wear may cause damage to
the braking system.
When an insufficient oil level is detected,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked.
Always keep the cap of the brake fluid
reservoir (in the engine compartment)
completely closed.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Use only a transmission oil with the same charac -
teristics as those indicated on
Ú
page 234.
Special Additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The automatic
transmission oil is a product designed especially
for this vehicle and its performance may be
compromised through the use of further
additives.
Frequency Of Oil Changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions, it is not
necessary to change the transmission oil.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
battery with the same specifications. It is advised
to contact an authorized dealer for replacement.
WARNING!
Use only the manufacturer recommended
brake fluid
Ú
page 234. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage your
brake system and/or impair its performance.
The proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle
is also identified on the original factory
installed hydraulic master cylinder reservoir.
To avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid
that has been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap
secured at all times. Brake fluid in an open
container absorbs moisture from the air
resulting in a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result
in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts,
causing the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake
fluid can also damage painted and vinyl
surfaces, care should be taken to avoid its
contact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your transmission components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
