assume the spoiler position. Press button A again and operate the
control for longer than half a second to move the roof window to
an intermediate position (“Comfort” position).
Press the opening control for longer than half a second to open the
roof entirely. The front panel can be stopped in an intermediate po-
sition by pressing button A again.
Closing the sunroof
With the sunroof in the fully open position, press button B-fig. 62
and, if the button is operated for more than half a second, the front
roof glass with automatically assume the intermediate position
(comfort position).

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The window winders work with the ignition key at MAR and for
approximately three minutes after turning the key to STOP or ex-
tracting it and opening one of the front doors.
The control buttons are located in the door panels (the driver’s door
panel can be used to operate all the windows).
An anti-pinch device is operated when the front and rear windows
are wound up.

IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the electric win-
dows remain active for about 3 minutes and are deactivated the
moment a door is opened.
IMPORTANT On some versions when the
Ëbutton on the remote
control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will open,
whilst if the
Ábutton is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the
windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard
concerning the safety of passengers leaning out of
the passenger compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be danger-
ous. Before and during operation, always check that
no passenger is at risk of being injured directly by
the moving window or by objects getting caught in or dragged
by the window. When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition device to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the electric windows. This is a danger to
the people still on board.
Anti-pinch device
The car is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device for the upwards
motion of the windows.
The windows are fitted with an anti-pinch safety system that de-
tects the presence of an obstacle when they are closing and cuts
in by stopping the window and reversing it according to the posi-
tion of the window. This device is also useful when the windows
are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and automat-
ic operation of the electric windows. Following the intervention of
the anti-pinch system, the window travel is immediately interrupt-
ed and subsequently reversed until the lower end of travel is
reached. The window cannot be operated in any way during this
time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5 consecutive
times within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation
of the window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a sec-
ond; the button is released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
Open the concerned window to restore correct operation of the sys-
tem.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
To check and, if necessary, adjust the alignment contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are aligned to comply with the regu-
lations of the country of purchase. When driving in countries with
a different driving direction, to avoid blinding the drivers travelling
in the opposite direction, it is necessary to cover the areas of the
beam according to the provisions of the Highway Code of the coun-
try you are driving in.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE LIGHT BEAM
The correct orientation of the headlights is important for the dri-
ver’s comfort and safety as well as for all other road users. It is al-
so a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly directed to ensure the best visi-
bility conditions for all drivers. To check and, if necessary, adjust
the alignment contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR position and the
dipped headlights on.

Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, after 3 minutes from the engine stop-
ping, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not desired, due for
example to the clutch pedal being released sharply with a gear
engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can
be restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by placing the
gear lever in neutral
RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions and safety pur-
poses, the power unit can restart automatically without any action
on behalf of the driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❍low braking system vacuum, e.g. following the brake pedal be-
ing pressed repeatedly;
❍car in motion, for example when driving on hilly roads;
❍stopping the engine using Start&Stop longer than approxi-
mately 3 minutes;
❍for versions equipped with dual zone automatic climate control
system (for versions/markets, where provided), if an adequate
level of thermal comfort has not been reached or MAX-DEF func-
tion activation;
With gear engaged, the automatic engine restarting is possible on-
ly by fully pressing the clutch pedal. This operation is indicated to
the driver by means of a message on the display and by symbol
Ublinking (the latter for versions/markets, where provided).

SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop system, if the dri-
ver releases his/her seat belt and opens the driver’s or passenger’s
door, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.
This condition is indicated to the driver by means of a buzzer and
by the symbol
Ublinking on the display (with a message, for
versions/markets, where provided).
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, as a result of the engine automatic restarting, the driver does not
carry out any action on the vehicle for over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop
system stops the engine once and for all, to prevent fuel consump-
tion. In these cases, the engine can be restarted only using the ig-
nition key.
NOTEIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine running by de-
activating the Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the event of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is disabled.
The driver is informed of the fault by the symbol
Ublinking on
the display along with a message (the latter on some versions).
If this occurs, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
STORING THE CAR
In the case of storage, special care must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A-fig. 83 (by pressing but-
ton B) from sensor C for monitoring the status of the battery in-
stalled on the battery negative pole D. This sensor should never
be disconnected from the pole except if the battery is replaced.
fig. 83A0K0179m
In case of battery replacement, always contact
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services. Replace the bat-
tery using a new one of the same type (HEAVY
DUTY) and having the same specifications.
