CODE system or alarm failure (for versions/markets, where provided).
In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as
possible.
Break-in attempt
If this warning light flashes or, on some versions, if the symbol appears
in the display (together with a message) this indicates a break-in
attempt. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.Glow plug preheating
(diesel versions) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR. It will

GEAR SHIFT INDICATORThe “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the driver to change
gear through a specific indication on the control panel fig. 7.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or "All Weather" mode and to
follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator, where the traffic
conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a lower gear.
NoteThe indication in the instrument panel remains on until the driver
shifts gear or the driving conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve consumption.
WELCOME MOVEMENTOn some versions, when the key is turned to MAR-ON, the following
occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of the speedometer and rpm gauge;
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display;
❒displaying of an animated graphic representation of the vehicle
profile.
Gauge movement
❒If the key is removed from the ignition switch whilst the gauges are
moving, they immediately go back to their initial position.
❒Once they have reached the full scale values, the gauges rest on the
value indicated by the vehicle.
❒The movement of the gauges stops when the engine is started.
Lighting of graphic symbols/display
A few seconds after the key is inserted, the gauges, graphic symbols
and display light up in sequence.
Display of graphic animation
When the key is removed from the ignition switch (with the doors
closed), the display remains lit up and shows a graphic animation.
The display lighting is then dimmed gradually until it goes out
completely.

SYMBOLSSome car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that summarises all the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition
key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition device. The
modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is
the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.OPERATIONEach time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the
Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement
code to the engine management control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE
system deactivates the functions of the engine management control
unit. If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. If you are
still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain sensor and located on
the windscreen, detects the variations in outside brightness depending
on the light sensitivity set with the Set-up Menu: the greater the
sensitivity, the less external light is required to activate the exterior
lights.Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 39 is turned to
.In
this way the side lights and dipped headlights are activated
automatically according to the external light level.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog.
Therefore under these circumstances, these lights must be turned on
manually.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be
turned on.
When the lights are automatically switched off, the front and rear fog
lights (if activated) are also switched off. The next time the lights are
switched on automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated manually
(if required).
With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the
main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to turn these
lights on, turn ring nut A to position
and turn the dipped
headlights on.
When the lights have been activated automatically and are then
switched off by the sensor, the dipped beam headlights are switched
off first, followed by the side lights a few seconds later.
If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched on irrespective of the outside
light level and the sensor failure is indicated on the instrument panel
display.
It is also possible to deactivate the sensor and switch on these lights if
necessary.
