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.

FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel cap is unlocked when the central locking system is released
and automatically locked when the central locking system is ap-
plied.
To open
Press the flap A-fig. 89 to release it and reach the fuel filler cap
B. Then press the cap B and turn it anticlockwise.
The cap has a loss prevention device C which secures it to the flap
so that it cannot be lost. Attach the cap to device D during refu-
elling.
How to open the flap in an emergency
In case of emergency, pull the cord A-fig. 90 on the right-hand side
of the boot to open the fuel flap.
Pull the cord to release the lock. Then press the flap to open it.
Closing
Release the cap B from the device D and insert it in its housing.
Tighten the cap in a clockwise direction until one or more clicks are
heard. Finally, close the flap A and check that is it correctly locked.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure in the
tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is therefore entirely
normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes near
to the fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face away
from the fuel tank opening to avoid breathing in
harmful vapours.

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.
