Air Recirculation And Air Quality System (AQS)Air Recirculation is managed according
to the following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is
illuminated above the “A” on the Air Recircu -
lation Button
Forced activation (air circulation always
activated): indicator illuminated above the
icon on the Air Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation always
off with intake of outside air): both indicators
not illuminated on the Air Recirculation Button
The three operating conditions are obtained by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button in
sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Function —
If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation function is
selected, the AQS function automatically
activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels).
At low external temperatures or in high humidity,
the automatic function turns off to avoid fogging
up the windows. The user can select the function
again by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.

NOTE:

With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake to
cycle the air in the passenger compartment for
a set time. The AQS function is disabled during
the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. It is,
however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it can increase the possibility of the
windows fogging. When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is forced off
to prevent the windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost Air comes from the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost
Push the Rear Defrost button to activate
(indicator illuminated) the Rear Defrost.
The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes or
once the engine is turned off.

NOTE:
To avoid damage, do not apply stickers over the
interior heating filaments of the Rear Defrost. Front Defrost And MAX-DEF Function
Push the MAX-DEF button (indicator
illuminated) to defrost the windshield
and side windows.
While in MAX-DEF function, the air conditioner
will:
Activate the air conditioner compressor when
the weather allows
Turn air recirculation off
Set the maximum air temperature (HI) on both
the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield and
front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defrost
Display the fan speed (indicators illuminated)
and current air distribution setting

NOTE:
The MAX-DEF function remains active for approx -
imately three minutes once the engine coolant
reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will
deactivate. The only manual operations possible
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost.
Pushing the button switches off the MAX-DEF
function.

Brake Disc Temperature
When the symbol turns on, it indicates
an excessive temperature of the brake
discs. Let the breaking system cool
down by reducing the speed.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System
Activation — If Equpped
The DAA system detects indications that
the driver is feeling fatigued and
illuminates this warning that the driver
should pull over and take a break.
Stop to pause while driving, pulling the car over in
safe conditions.
Door Open
The telltale turns on when one or more
doors are not completely shut. An
acoustic signal is activated with the
doors open and the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
Power Steering Failure
If the telltale remains on, you may not
have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel
may be increased; steering is, however,
possible.

NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering
wheel must be re-initialized. The Power Steering
Failure light on the instrument panel will illumi -
nate to indicate this. To carry out this procedure,
simply turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light, along with the related
message, signals a failure in the ETC.
If a failure is detected, the warning light
turns on while the engine is running.
Place the gear selector in the PARK (P) position
and the ignition in the off position: the warning
light should switch off. If the warning light stays
on with engine running, the vehicle can still be
driven.
If the warning light flashes with the engine
running, immediate intervention is required. A
loss of performance, irregular/high idling speed
or engine stopping might take place and the
vehicle may need to be towed.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the failure eliminated.
Engine Coolant Temperature Too High
The telltale lights up when the engine
has overheated.
In normal driving conditions : stop the
car, turn off the engine and check that the coolant
level in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark.
In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then
slowly and carefully open the cap, fill with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an authorized
dealer if the telltale comes on when the engine is
started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions
(e.g. in high-performance driving):
slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle.
Stop for two or three minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to facilitate
better coolant circulation, then turn the engine
off. Check that the coolant level is correct as
described previously.
Hood Cap Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the hood cap
is not properly closed, along with the
icon, an image of the vehicle with an
open hood cap appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the hood cap is open and
the vehicle is moving.
Close the hood properly.
Insufficient Engine Oil Level
The telltale turns on, along with the
related message on the display, to
indicate low engine oil level.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.
Low Engine Oil Pressure

This telltale indicates low engine oil
pressure. If the telltale turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the
engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when this telltale turns on. Do not operate
the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This telltale
does not indicate how much oil is in the engine.

CAUTION!
Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may
severely damage the gearbox, with resulting
breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact
with hot engine or with exhaust components
at high temperature could cause fires.
23_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 75

AFTER STARTING — WARMING UP THE
E
NGINE
Proceed as follows:
Travel slowly, letting the engine run at a
reduced RPM, without accelerating suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the digital
engine coolant temperature indicator starts to
rise for maximum performance.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the vehicle in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic.
2. Engage the PARK (P) mode.
3. With engine idling, push the ENGINE START/ STOP button on the steering wheel to stop the
engine.

NOTE:
Do not leave the ignition in ACC position when the
engine is off.
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold
the ignition or push the ENGINE START/STOP
button three times consecutively within a few
seconds. The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ACC position.
With the keyless ignition system, it is possible to
leave the vehicle taking the key fob with you
without the engine switching off. The vehicle will
inform the absence of the key on board, only if the
doors are closed. After stopping the engine (cycling from the ACC to
the OFF position), the accessories are still
powered for about three minutes, or until a door
is opened.
When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
window switches remain active for three minutes.
Opening a front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
temperature inside the engine compartment to
cool before shutting off the engine.
TURBOCHARGER COOL DOWN
It is recommended before switching the vehicle
off, to keep the engine idling for a few minutes so
that the turbocharger can be suitably lubricated.
This procedure is particularly recommended after
severe driving.
After a full load operation, keep the engine idling
for three to five minutes before switching it off.
This time allows the lubricating oil and the engine
coolant to eliminate the excessive heat from
combustion chamber, bearings, inner
components and turbocharger.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER —
IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine and
permits quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical
outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C),
the engine block heater is recommended. For
ambient temperatures below -20°F (-29°C), the
engine block heater is required.See the following steps to properly use the engine
block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (access
door on the passenger side wiper cowl).
2. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and plug it into a grounded, three-wire extension
cord.
3. After the vehicle is running, properly stow away behind access door on the passenger
side wiper cowl.

NOTE:

The engine block heater cord is a factory
installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped,
heater cords are available from an authorized
dealer.
The engine block heater will require 110 Volts
AC and 6.5 Amps to activate the heater
element.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at
least one hour to have a warming effect on the
engine and at least four hours to have a
warming effect when ambient temperatures
are below -20°F (-29°C).
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.

SAFETY

168

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.
23_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 168

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

178

If frequent jump starting is required to start your
vehicle, you should have the battery and charging
system inspected at an authorized dealer.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.

NOTE:
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
Engine overheating may occur in situations of
extreme environmental temperatures, frequent
engine stops/starts, or driving in heavy traffic. If
the engine becomes overheated, the Engine
Temperature Warning Light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate along with a dedicated
message

Ú
page 70.If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce
the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.

NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down
an impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.
The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control to
maximum heat, the mode control to floor and
the blower control to high. This allows the
heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
If Steam Is Coming From The Engine
Compartment
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the
engine. Wait until the steam dissipates. Then,
open the hood and start the engine.
If Neither Coolant Nor Steam Is Escaping
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.

NOTE:

If the cooling fan does not operate while the
engine is running, the engine temperature will
increase. Stop the engine and contact an
authorized dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling system
inspected. The engine could be seriously
damaged unless repairs are made. Contact an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
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 try to
open a cooling system pressure cap when the
radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off
until the pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn
the engine off immediately, and call for
service.

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.
