Headlight sensor (Automatic headlight/dusk
sensor sensitivity adjustment)

This function is used to turn the headlights on or off according to
external lighting conditions.
The dusk sensor sensitivity can be adjusted according to 3 levels
(level 1= minimum sensitivity, level 2= average sensitivity, level
3= maximum sensitivity); the greater the sensitivity set, the less
the external light variation needed to control turning on the lights
(e.g. with a setting on level 3 at sunset the headlights are expected
to come on in relation to levels1 and 2).
Proceed as follows to set:
– briefly press SET ESC: the previously set brightness level flash-
es in the display;
– press “
Ò▲“or“▼“ to select;
– briefly press the SET ESC button to go back to the menu screen
or hold the button down to go back to the standard screen with-
out saving.

Adjusting headlight alignment
PressÒandto adjust (fig. 79). The display located on the in-
strument panel provides a visual indication of the adjusted position.
Position 0 – one or two passengers in the front seats.
Position 1 – 4 passengers.
Position 2 – 4 passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check the adjustment every time the load carried
changes.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped with Bi-xenon headlights,
headlight alignment is carried out automatically and therefore but-
tons
Òandare not present.
FOG LIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(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.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may help you to save fuel and
lower the amount of harmful emissions released into the atmos-
phere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” (see chapter “Servicing and mainte-
nance”).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4 weeks: if the pres-
sure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling
is higher.
Unnecessar y loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the car and
its arrangement greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration and have a nega-
tive effect on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to trans-
port particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. The heat-
ed rear windscreen, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan require a considerable amount of energy; increasing the
current uptake increases fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system will increase consumption: use
the air vents when the external temperature so allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect aerodynam-
ics and fuel consumption.
