Button volume (Button volume adjustment)
With this function it is possible to adjust (to eight levels) the vol-
ume of the acoustic signal sounding when the MENU SET button
is long pressed to exit a sub-menu and return to the standard menu.
To set the desired volume, proceed as follows:
– briefly press the SET ESC button: the previously set volume lev-
el will be displayed;
– press the button “
Ò▲“ or “▼“ to adjust the volume; an
acoustic signal equal to the volume level being selected is sound-
ed during this adjustment;
– briefly press the SET ESC button to go back to the previous screen
or hold the button down to go back to the standard screen with-
out saving.
On versions with reconfigurable multifunction display, the volume
level is represented by bars.
Belt reminder (Buzzer/reactivation for S.B.R.
signally)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This function will only be displayed after the S.B.R. system
has been deactivated by an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service Provider
(see “S.B.R. system” in chapter 2).
Ser vice (Ser vice schedule)
With this function is possible to view information on servicing dead-
lines depending on kilometres travelled or daily intervals. The Ser-
vice function also shows the interval (in kilometres or miles) be-
fore the next engine oil change is due.
This information can be consulted as follows:
– briefly press the SET ESC button, which makes the display show
the service interval in km or mi according to the previous setting
(see “Distance measures” paragraph); press the SET ESC button
to return to the menu screen or hold the button down to return to
the standard screen.
IMPORTANT According to the “Planned Maintenance Programme”,
the car must be serviced every 30,000 km (1.4 petrol versions)
or 35,000 km (1750 Turbo petrol and diesel versions). This mes-
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.

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip Computer displays information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR. This function is composed by separate
trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B” which can monitor the entire mis-
sion (journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both trips can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Autonomy
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time). With the function “Trip B” is possible to display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Journey time B (driving time).
“Trip B” may be turned off (see “Trip B on” paragraph). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be reset.

Values displayed
Autonomy
This indicates the approximate distance which can be travelled with
the present amount of fuel in the tank.
The display will show the reading “- - - -“ when the following events
take place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for a long time.
IMPORTANT The autonomy value variation can be affected by sev-
eral factors: driving style, type of route (motorway, towns and
cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Take these factors into account when planning a trip.
Distance travelled
This shows the distance covered from the start of the new journey.
Average consumption
This value is the approximate average fuel consumption from the
start of the new journey.
Current consumption
This indicates fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated.
The message “- - - -” will appear on the display if the car is parked
with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the average speed based on the overall time elapsed
since the start of the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.

tery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip A” details are being
displayed resets the information associated with this function only.

sions/markets, where provided). The doors will be locked even
if the boot is open.
When a speed of over 20 km/h is reached, the doors are auto-
matically locked if this specific function has been set (only on ver-
sions with multi-function reconfigurable display).

You can adjust one function automatically and have the automat-
ic system control all the others. The amount of air introduced into
the passenger compartment is not affected by vehicle speed; it is
electronically controlled by a fan. The air temperature is always au-
tomatically controlled according to the temperature shown on the
display (except for when the system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is not running).
The system can manually programme and adjuste:
❍air temperature on driver’s/passenger’s side;
❍fan speed (continuous variation);
❍air distribution to 7 positions;
❍climate control compressor enabled;
❍fast demisting/defrosting function;
❍air recirculation;
❍heated rear windscreen;
❍turning the system off.
DESCRIPTION
The automatic dual zone climate control system regulates the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment in two areas. The system
keeps the comfort in the passenger compartment constant and
compensates for variable external conditions.
NOTEThe reference temperature is 22°C for optimal comfort man-
agement.
The automatically controlled parameters and functions are:
❍air temperature delivered to driver/front passenger vents;
❍air distribution to driver/front passenger vents;
❍fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❍switching the compressor fan on (for cooling/dehumidifying
the air);
❍air recirculation.
All these functions can be manually adjusted by operating the sys-
tem and selecting one or more functions and modifying their pa-
rameters. Automatic control of the manually changed functions will
be suspended: the system will only override your settings for safe-
ty reasons.
Manual selections will always have higher priority over automatic
settings and will be stored until the AUTO button is pressed, except
for the cases in which the system will intervene for particular, safe-
ty-related reasons.
The climate control system uses an average radi-
ating temperature sensor installed under a cover
below the inner rearview mirror. To ensure opti-
mal operation of the climate control system, do not ob-
struct the detection cone of this sensor with any object.

ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURE
Turn A or L knob to right or left to adjust the air temperature: A
knob for the front left-hand area, L knob for the front right-hand
area of the passenger compartment. The set temperatures are
shown on the display.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature between the
two zones.
Turn L knob to go back to the separate management of air tem-
peratures in the two zones.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or anti-clockwise to engage respec-
tively HI (maximum heating) or LO (maximum cooling). To de-
activate these functions, rotate the temperature knob to the de-
sired temperature.
SWITCHING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be turned on in different ways: you are recom-
mended to press the AUTO button and turn the knobs to set the re-
quired temperatures.
In this way the system operates completely automatically to ad-
just the temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. It also manages the air recircu-
lation system and the enablement of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
During fully automatic system operation, you can change at any
time the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed by using
the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
its settings to adjust to the new requirements.
During fully automatic operation (AUTO), the word AUTO will dis-
appear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
In this way the climate control system will continue to automati-
cally manage all functions except for those that have been manu-
ally adjusted. There is only one fan speed in all the areas of the
passenger compartment.
