when the doors are locked.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition
is turned to ON.
Three Modes Are Provided For
Switching Off:
When all doors are closed after
entering the vehicle, the three-minute
timer will stop and a seconds timer will start for the interior lights. This timing
will stop when the ignition is turned to
ON.
When doors are locked (either with
key fob or with key inserted on driver
side door), the overhead light turns off.
The interior lights will turn off after
15 minutes to preserve the battery.

ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE
The vehicle is equipped with electric
park brake to guarantee better use and
optimal performance compared to a
manually operated park brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch located on the central console, a
motor with caliper for each rear wheel,
and an electronic control module.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.
Automatically, in "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions. Note:
Normally, the electric parking brake is
engaged automatically when the engine
is stopped. This function can be
deactivated/activated on the Connect
system by selecting the following items
in sequence on the main menu:
"Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
In addition to engaging the electric park
brake, along with steering and
positioning chocks in front of the
wheels (when on a steep slope), you
must always place the vehicle in the
PARK (P) mode before leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to
unlock the electric park brake.
Engaging The Park Brake Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the
center console to manually engage the
electric park brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.
A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake
engaged, the BRAKE warning light on
the instrument panel and the switch will
illuminate.
Caution!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated. In
this case the driver is responsible for brake
activation and vehicle parking in complete
safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on
the center console pulled as long as the
brake action is necessary.
The BRAKE warning light may switch
on with the hydraulic system
temporarily unavailable, in this case
braking is controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically
switch on in the same way as for
normal braking with the use of the
brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center
console to stop the braking action with
the vehicle in motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph
(3 km/h) is reached and the switch is
kept pulled, the park brake will
definitively engage.
Note:
Driving the vehicle with the electric
parking brake engaged, or using it

several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the
braking system.
Disengaging The Electric Park
Brake Manually
In order to manually release the park
brake, the ignition should be in the ON
mode. Press the brake pedal, and then
press the switch on the center console
briefly.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle, and a slight movement of the
brake pedal may be detected during
disengagement.
After disengaging the electric parking
brake, the BRAKE warning light on the
instrument panel and the light on the
switch will turn off.
If the BRAKE warning light on the
instrument panel remains on with the
electric parking brake disengaged, this
indicates a fault: in this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Be sure the park brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the park brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury.
Caution!
Never use gear position PARK (P) instead
of the electric parking brake. Always
engage the electric parking brake when
parking the vehicle to prevent injury or
damage caused by the unexpected
movement of the vehicle.
Electric Park Brake
Operating Modes
The electric park brake may operate as
follows:
"Dynamic Operating Mode": this
mode is activated by pulling the switch
repeatedly while driving.
"Static Engagement and Release
Mode": with the vehicle stationary, the
electric park brake can be activated by
pulling the switch on the central tunnel once. On the other hand, push the
switch and the brake pedal at the same
time to disengage the brake.
"Drive Away Release" — if equipped:
the electric park brake will automatically
disengage with the driver side seat belt
fastened and the detection of an action
performed by the driver to move the
vehicle (forward gear or reverse gear).
"Safe Hold": if the vehicle speed is
lower than 1.9 mph (3 km/h), the gear
selector is not in PARK (P) position and
the driver's intention of leaving the
vehicle is detected, the electric park
brake will automatically engage to hold
the vehicle in safety conditions.
"Auto Park Brake": if the vehicle
speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h), the
electric park brake will automatically
engage when the gear selector is in
PARK (P) position. The light on the
switch located on the center console
switches on together with the BRAKE
warning light on the instrument panel
when the park brake is engaged and
applied to the wheels. Each automatic
park brake engagement can be
cancelled by pressing the switch on the
center console and at the same time
moving the gear selector for the
transmission to position PARK (P).

Caution!
Damage to the transmission may occur if
the following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE
only after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Display
The following information is shown on
the dedicated area of the display:
In Automatic Mode : the active
mode (P, R, N, D) and with "D" the
current gear number.
In Manual Drive Mode
(Sequential) : the mode (M), the current
gear and the double or single gear shift
request, both up and down (single or
double arrow).
Gear Selector
The gear functioning is controlled by the
gear selector, which can assume the
following positions:
P = PARK
R = REVERSE
N = NEUTRAL
D= DRIVE, (automatic forward
speed)
AutoStick : + shifting to higher gear
in manual (sequential) driving mode; –
shifting to lower gear in sequential
driving mode.
The positions diagram is illustrated on
the top of the gear selector. The letter corresponding to the mode
selected on the gear selector lights up
and appears on the instrument cluster
display.
To select a mode, move the gear
selector forward or backwards,
together with pressing the brake pedal
and button to engage REVERSE (R).

ALFA DNA PRO
SYSTEM
“Alfa DNA Pro” System
(Car Dynamic Control
System)
This vehicle is equipped with a “Alfa
DNA” system selector (located on the
center console). There are four modes
of operation to be selected according
to driving style and road conditions:
d = Dynamic (sports driving mode).
n = Normal (mode for driving in
normal conditions).
a = Advanced Efficiency (ECO driving
mode for maximum fuel savings).
RACE = track race driving mode (if
equipped).
= adjusts the calibration of the
active suspension (if equipped). Unlike the other modes, the RACE
position does not latch; therefore, by
rotating the selector to RACE, it will
return to its initial position "d".
The symbol of the active mode lights up
in red on the selector.
On the instrument panel display, the
different modes are characterized by
different colors:
Normal - Blue
Dynamic - Red
RACE - Yellow
Advanced Efficiency - Green
Each driving mode is graphically
different in frame color and contents of
each individual "performance" screen.
Driving Modes
"Normal" Mode
“Normal” Mode is characterized by
reduced engine performance and ECO
shifting strategy for the automatic
transmission.
Activation
It is activated by rotating the selector to
the letter "n", the displays light up in
blue.
