FAILED ENGINE CUT-OUT CONDITIONS
When the system is operating, due to comfort, emission control
and safety reasons, the engine does not stop in some conditions,
among which:
❍engine still cold;
❍very cold outside temperature;
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍heated rear windscreen on;
❍windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❍particulate filter regeneration in progress (diesel engines only);
❍driver’s door not shut;
❍driver’s seat belt not fastened
❍reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking manoeuvres);
❍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;
❍during the first period of use, to initialize the system;
In these cases, a message is shown on the display and the sym-
bol
Uwill blink (the latter for versions/markets, where provid-
ed).
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled, for a contin-
uous operation of the climate control system.

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.

DISPLAY INDICATIONS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the sensor is activated, the "Reconfigurable multifunctional
display" (for versions/markets where provided) shows the screen
illustrated in fig. 88a; the information about the presence of and
distance from the obstacle is given by the buzzer and also by a
visual indication on the instrument panel display. If there are se-
veral obstacles, the closest one is indicated.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When reverse gear is engaged a buzzer warning is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❍increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle de-
creases;
❍becomes continuous when the distance between the car and
the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance increases;
❍remains constant if the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle remains unchanged, whilst if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the signal is interrupted after about 3 seconds,
for example, to prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres along-
side walls.
IMPORTANT The volume of the audible signal can be adjusted th-
rough the option "Warnings volume" of the "Set-Up menu".
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically turned off when the trail-
er electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket. The sen-
sors are automatically enabled again when the trailer cable plug
is removed.
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt, snow or ice
in order for the system to work. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors should
be washed using clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. In washing stations, clean sensors quick-
ly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing noz-
zles at a distance of at least 10 cm from the sensors.

SBR SYSTEM
(Seat Belt Reminder)
This system comprises of an acoustic signal, which in conjunction
with the
warns the driver and front passenger if their seat belts have not
been fastened.
fig. 95A0K0075m
On some versions there is also a panel (provided as an alternative
to the warning lights on the instrument panel) located above the
rear-view mirror fig. 95, which warns the front and back seat pas-
sengers via acoustic and visual signals if their seat belts have not
been fastened.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to deactivate this system
permanently. The SBR system can only be reactivated via the dis-
play Set Up Menu (see chapter “Knowing your car”).
The red and green warning lights work as follows fig. 95:
❍1 = front left seat (this indicates the driver’s seat state in left-
hand drive versions)
❍2 = rear left seat (passenger)
❍3 = rear middle seat (passenger)
❍4 = rear right seat (passenger)
❍5 = front right seat (this indicates the passenger seat state in
right-hand drive versions)

If the warning light ¬does not turn on when the key
is turned to MAR, or if it stays on when travelling (to-
gether with the message on the display on some ver-
sions), there could be a failure in the restraint systems. If
this is the case, the air bags or pretensioners may not be de-
ployed in the event of an accident or, less likely, they may
be deployed accidentally. Do not drive the car and contact
a Alfa Romeo Authorised Service Provider to have the sys-
tem checked immediately.
The expiry dates of the pyrotechnic charge and
clock contact are shown in the plate installed in-
side the glove compartment. Go to an Alfa Romeo
Authorised Service Provider when the time to have them
replaced approaches.
Do not travel with objects on your lap, in front of
your chest, or between your lips (e.g. pipes, pen-
cils, etc.): you may be seriously injured in the event
of a crash with air bag deployment.
If someone tries to steal or damage your car, and
in the event of floods, have the air bag system
checked by an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service
Provider.
With the ignition key inserted and turned to MAR,
the air bags can be deployed also with the car at
a standstill, if it is hit by another vehicle even if the
engine is off. For this reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not moving. Remember
that no safety device (airbag or pretensioner) will be de-
ployed in a crash if the key is inserted and turned to the
STOP position. Failure to deploy in such cases must not
be considered a sign of malfunction.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the “
warning light turns on (front airbag on passenger’s
side enabled) and will blinks for a few seconds as
a reminder that the passenger airbag will be deployed
in the event of a crash and then go off.
The front air bags are deployed in the event of
more severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two thresholds, it
is normal for only the pretensioners to be activated.

IMPORTANT NOTES
❍At 2000 km from the next service operation the display will
show a message.
❍Scheduled Servicing operations are required by the manufac-
turer. Failure to comply with the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
❍It is advisable to inform Alfa Romeo Authorized Services of any
small faults without waiting for the next scheduled service.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life under the
best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has prepared a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for
1.4 petrol versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for 1750 Turbo
Petrol and diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. periodical-
ly check level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.) before 30,000/
35,000 km and between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Service operations should be carried out at Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services according to a set time schedule. If, during
each operation, in addit
ion to the ones scheduled, the need aris-
es for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out on-
ly with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be reduced.
