Do not use the windscreen wipers to remove lay-
ers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such con-
ditions, the windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress, prompting intervention from the motor
protection which prevents operation for a few seconds. If
operation is not restored, even after turning the key and
restarting the engine, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the
blades lifted from the windscreen.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to op-
erate the windscreen washer jet. Keep the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen
washer/wiper jet at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds completes the wip-
ing cycle.

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
To release:
❍turn the A ring fig. 43 to OFF;
or
❍stop the engine;
or
❍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.
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).

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.
