ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE
CONDITIONSWhen 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;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) 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 (for
versions/markets, where provided), if an adequate level of thermal
comfort has not been reached or with MAX-DEF function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the system.
If the climate comfort is to be favoured, the Start&Stop
system can be deactivated, for a continuous operation of
the climate control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONSDue to comfort, emission control and safety reasons, the engine can
restart automatically without any action by the driver, under special
conditions, such as:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 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 function
activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is possible only by
fully depressing the clutch pedal. The driver is informed by the
displaying of a message on the display and - for versions/markets,
where provided - by the flashing of the symbol
.
Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3 minutes after the engine stops, 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.

SAFETY FUNCTIONSWhen the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop system, if the driver
releases his/her seat belt and opens the driver's or passenger's door,
the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some versions, a message is displayed as well.
"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting, the driver does not carry out
any action on the car for over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops
the engine once and for all, to prevent fuel consumption. In these
cases, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running by
deactivating the Start&Stop system.IRREGULAR OPERATIONIn the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop system is deactivated.
The driver is informed of the fault by the flashing
symbol (versions
with multifunction display) or
symbol (versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display). For versions/markets where provided, a
message is also displayed.
In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
CAR INACTIVITYIn the event of car inactivity (or if the battery is replaced), special
attention must be paid to the disconnection of the battery power
supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A fig. 90 (by pressing button
B) from sensor C for monitoring the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor should never be disconnected
from the pole except if the battery is replaced.
In case of battery replacement, always contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services. Replace the battery with
one of the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP, wait at least 1
minute before disconnecting the electrical supply to the battery.

SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTSWear the belt keeping the torso straight and rested against the
backrest. To fasten the belts, hold the tongue A fig. 100 and insert it
into the buckle B, until you hear it click into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To release the belt, press button C. Guide the belt while it is rewinding
to prevent it from twisting.
Never press button C fig. 100 when travelling.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with three anchor points
and a reel. Fasten the rear seat belts as shown in fig.101.
Remember that in the event of an accident, the rear
seat passengers not wearing seat belts are exposed to
a very serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly secured when the red band B fig.
102 on backrest folding handle A disappears. This red band indicates
that the backrest is not secured.
IMPORTANT When putting the rear seat back in its normal position,
make sure that the seat belts are positioned so that they are ready
to use.

Make sure that the backrest is correctly secured on
both sides (red bands B fig. 102 not visible) to prevent
it from moving forward in the event of sharp braking,
causing injuries to passengers.
SBR SYSTEM
(Seat Belt Reminder)This system comprises an acoustic signal which, in conjunction with the
warning light flashing on the instrument panel display, warns the
driver and front passenger if their seat belts have not been fastened.
On some versions there is also a panel (provided as an alternative
to the warning lights on the instrument panel) located above the
interior rear view mirror fig. 103, which warns the front and back seat
passengers through acoustic and visual signals if their seat belts have
not been fastened.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Workshops to deactivate the SBR
system permanently.
The SBR system can be reactivated at any time through the Setup Menu
only (see "Menu Items" in “Knowing your car” section).
The warning lights may be red or green and operate as follows:
❒1 = front left seat (driver status for left-hand drive versions);
❒2 = rear left seat (passenger);
❒3 = rear centre seat (passenger);
❒4 = rear right seat (passenger);
❒5 = front right seat (passenger status for left-hand drive versions).
