START&STOP
SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the efficiency of the car is
increased, by reducing consumption,
emissions of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops
with gearbox in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding about
10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving
at walking pace.

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to
comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine does not stop
in some conditions, among which
10):
❒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.ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due 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 FUNCTIONS
When 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 OPERATION
In 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 an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.CAR INACTIVITY
In 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 connector
A fig. 83 (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.
48)
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP, wait at least 1 minute
before disconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery.83

JUMP STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole A fig. 84 of the
car battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point.
49)
IMPORTANT
10) If you wish to run the air
conditioning system, you may
deactivate the Start&Stop system
to allow continuous operation of
the air conditioning system.
WARNING
48) When replacing the battery,
always contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should
have the same characteristics.49) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the engine is off
and that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the dedicated
label on the front crossmember
(fig. 85). We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the car.
The car should always be left after
the key has been removed or
turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the
ignition key is in the STOP
position).

iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is anyway
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS system needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions) which starts when the
RESET procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning light
may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at
MAR-ON, press the button
fig. 86 on
the dashboard for 2 seconds; after
the RESET, the display shows the
message "RESET SAVED", indicating
that the "self-learning" has started.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display fig. 99.
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, when the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon is displayed, it 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 MOVEMENT
On 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.

SPEEDOMETER (SPEED
INDICATOR)
This shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
This indicates the engine rpm.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light in the gauge lights up
when there are only 8 to 10 litres of
fuel remaining in the tank; if this
happens, refuel as soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts supplying
indications when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
assumes different positions within
the scale depending on the usage
conditions.
The warning light turns on to indicate
an overheating of the engine coolant. In
this case, stop the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A"
and "Trip B", where the car's
"complete missions" (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
“Trip A” is used to display the figures
relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average fuel consumption
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
