sage is displayed automatically when the key is turned to MAR,
from 2,000 km (or equivalent value in miles) when the next ser-
vice is due and is displayed again every 200 km (or equivalent
value in miles). Below 200 km the signals become more frequent.
The indication will appear in kilometres or miles depending on
the unit of measurement settings. When the next scheduled ser-
vice is approaching and the key is turned to MAR, the word Ser-
vice will appear on the display, followed by the number of kilo-
metres or miles left. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services where
the “Planned Maintenance Programme” operations will be per-
formed and the message will be reset.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM COMPRESSOR
Press C to turn the compressor on/off (the LED on the button will
light up when the compressor is on). The system remembers that
the compressor has been switched off, even after the engine has
stopped.
When the compressor is switched off the system deactivates air re-
circulation to prevent the windows from misting up and deactivates
the AQS function. In this case, although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the AUTO LED will go out.
The temperatures will flash for a few seconds if the required tem-
perature cannot be maintained.
To restore automatic control for switching on the climate control
compressor, press C button again or press the AUTO button.
With compressor off:
❍if the outside temperature is higher than the set one, the sys-
tem will not be able to satisfy the request. The temperature
value will then flash on the display for a few seconds;
❍the fan speed can be manually reset.
When the compressor is on and the engine is running, manual ven-
tilation cannot drop under the maximum speed (only one LED on).
IMPORTANT With the climate control compressor off, it is not pos-
sible to admit air into the passenger compartment with a tempera-
ture below the outside temperature; moreover, under certain envi-
ronmental conditions the windows could mist up very quickly since
the air cannot be dehumidified.
RAPID WINDOW DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
Press-to turn windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting
function on (LED on button lit). The climate control system carries
out the following operations:
❍switches on the climate control compressor when climatic con-
ditions allow;
❍turns air recirculation off;
❍sets maximum air temperature (HI) in both zones;
❍sets proper fan speed according to the engine coolant tem-
perature;
❍directs air flow to the windscreen and front side windows vents;
❍theheatedrearwindscreenisturnedon
❍shows fan speed (LED G lit).
IMPORTANT The MAX-DEF function will remain on for approximately
3 minutes from when the engine coolant reaches adequate tem-
perature.
The LED on the AUTO button will go out when the function is on.
With the function activated the only possible manual adjustments
are adjusting the fan speed and the turning the heated rear wind-
screen off. By pressing B, C,
-or AUTO buttons, the climate
control system will turn the MAX-DEF off.

INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
Press the accelerator and store the new speed or move the stalk
upwards (+). Each movement of the stalk will correspond to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held
upwards the speed will continuously increase.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
Deactivate the device and store the new speed or move the stalk
downwards (–) until the new speed is reached. It will then auto-
matically be stored. Each movement of the stalk will correspond
to a reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held downwards will continuously reduce the speed.
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Toturnthedeviceoff:
❍turn the A ring fig. 43 to OFF;
❍stop the engine;
❍press the brake pedal, the clutch or the accelerator; in this
last case the system is not actually turned off but the system
gives priority to the acceleration request. The device still re-
mains active, without the need to press the RES button to re-
turn to the previous condition once acceleration is concluded. When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car may
slightly exceed the preset speed. When the device is activated,
Ü
light comes on together with the relevant message on the instru-
ment panel (for versions/markets, where provided).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn A ring fig. 43 to ON and press the accelerator until the
car reaches the desired speed;
❍move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second, then re-
lease it. The speed is now stored and you can therefore release
the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate sim-
ply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you come off the ped-
al, the car will return to the speed memorised previously.
RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device was disengaged - for example by pressing the brake
or clutch pedal - the stored speed can be reset as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching the one
stored;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed storing;
❍press RES button (B-fig. 43).
