ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm activates in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door/bonnet/
luggage compartment (perimeter
protection);
❒wrongful operation of the ignition
switch (ignition key turned to
MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery cables;
❒movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the car (for
versions/markets, where provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by
an acoustic and visual signal (flashing of
the direction indicators for several
seconds). The alarm activation modes
may vary according to the market.
There is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal
operation.IMPORTANT The engine locking
function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
SWITCHING ON THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate
closed and the ignition key either
turned to STOP or removed, point the
key with remote control towards the car
and press and release the
button.
Except for specific markets, the system
emits a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage precedes the
switching on of the alarm: in the event
of faults, the system will generate a
further acoustic and/or visual signal
through the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a
second acoustic signal is emitted
and/or a visual signal via the LED on
the dashboard, wait about 4 seconds
and switch off the alarm by pressing the
button, check that the doors,
bonnet and luggage compartment are
closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing the
button.If the alarm emits an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and
luggage compartment are correctly
closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated
using the remote control, once about
30 seconds have elapsed from when
the ignition key was turned to STOP
and a door or the tailgate was last
opened and then closed, the alarm
activates automatically.
This is indicated by the LED on the
button A fig. 10 lighting up intermittently
and the indications of activation
described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
button on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the

Window demisting
The climate control system is very
useful in preventing the windows from
misting up in the event of high levels
of humidity.
In the event of considerable outside
moisture and/or rain and/or
considerable differences in temperature
inside and outside the passenger
compartment, proceed as follows to
demist the windows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;
❒press button F to turn internal air
recirculation off (circular LED around
the button off);
❒turn knob E to
with the possibility
of moving it to position
(B) if
demisting does not occur;
❒turn knob C to the 2nd speed.
HEATED REAR WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
Press button D (
) to activate/
deactivate the function. The function is
automatically deactivated after 20
minutes.
For versions/markets where provided,
press the
button to activate
demisting/defrosting of exterior rear
view mirrors and heated nozzles (for
versions/markets, where provided).IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the
inside of the heated rear window over
the heating filaments, to avoid damage
that might cause them to stop working
properly.
INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
Press button F (
) so that the LED
around the button turns on. It is
advisable to switch internal air
recirculation on while standing in traffic
or in tunnels to prevent the introduction
of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are many
passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions more
quickly depending on the mode
selected. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days
as it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting.SETTING THE AIR
DISTRIBUTION
Turn knob E to manually select one of
the four possible air distribution settings
in the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window diffusers to demist/
defrost them.Air flow to the front/rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution allows
the passenger compartment to
be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution between front
and rear diffusers, centre/side
dashboard diffusers, rear diffuser
and windscreen and front side
window demisting/defrosting
diffusers.Air flow distribution to centre/side
dashboard diffusers (passenger's
body).

There are also another 4 positions (see
diagram below fig. 29):
Position A: Air flow distribution
between centre/side dashboard
vents, rear diffuser and windscreen
and front side window demisting/
defrosting diffusers. This
distribution setting ventilates the
passenger compartment well and
prevents the windows from misting
up.Position B: Air flow distributed
between footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side window
defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to warm
up efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.
Position C: Air flow distribution
between footwell diffusers (hotter
air) and centre/side dashboard
diffusers and rear diffuser (cooler
air).Position D: Automatic
demisting/defrosting activation
(see description in previous
pages).
START&STOP
Manual climate control
If the Start&Stop function is activated
(engine off when the car speed is
0 km/h), the system keeps the air flow
selected by the user.
In these conditions, the compartment
cooling and heating cannot be
guaranteed, as the compressor stops
with the engine coolant pump.
The Start&Stop function can be
deactivated to enhance the operation of
the climate control system by pressing
the dedicated button on the
dashboard.SERVICING
MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an Alfa
Romeo Dealership before the summer.

During automatic operation, you can
change the set temperatures, air
distribution and fan speed at any time
by using the relevant buttons or knobs:
the system will automatically change
the settings to adjust to the new
requirements.
During fully automatic operation
(AUTO), the word AUTO will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or engagement of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULL will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or activation of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed.
In this way the climate control system
will continue to automatically manage
all functions except for those that have
been manually adjusted. The fan speed
is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.ADJUSTING THE AIR
TEMPERATURE
Turn knob A or L to the right or left to
adjust the air temperature: knob A
for the front left area, knob L for the
front right area of the passenger
compartment. The set temperatures are
shown on the displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air
temperature between the two areas.
Turn knob L to return to the separate
management of air temperatures in the
two areas.
Turn the knobs fully right or left to
engage HI (maximum heating) or LO
(maximum cooling) respectively. To
deactivate these functions, turn the
temperature knob to the desired
temperature.
SETTING THE AIR
DISTRIBUTION
By pressing the buttons (
/
/
), it
is possible to set one of the 7 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window diffusers to
demist/defrost them.Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell diffusers. This air
distribution setting heats the
passenger compartment most
quickly, giving a prompt sensation
of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting
diffusers. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to warm up
efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/
defrosting diffusers and side
and central dashboard vents.
This allows air to be sent to
the windscreen in conditions of
strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all
vents on the car.

SWITCHING OFF/ON THE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Switching off the
climate control system
Press the
button (LED on button off).
With climate control off:
❒air recirculation is on, thus isolating
the passenger compartment from
the outside;
❒the compressor is off;
❒the fan is off;
❒the heated rear window can be
switched on or off;
❒the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The climate control
system control unit stores the
temperatures set before the system
was switched off and restores them
when any button of the system is
pressed (except for button D).
Switching on the climate
control system
To switch on the climate control system
in fully automatic mode press the AUTO
button.START&STOP
Automatic Climate
Control
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Start&Stop function
(engine off when the car speed is zero)
to guarantee a suitable comfort inside
the car.
Specifically, the Start&Stop function is
turned off when the weather is
particularly hot or cold to guarantee an
adequate level of comfort inside the
passenger compartment; therefore, the
engine will not be stopped during
these transient conditions, even if the
speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active
(engine off at zero car speed), the
climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly
deteriorate (or if the user requests
maximum cooling – LO – or quick
demisting – MAX DEF).
With the Start&Stop function on (engine
off at zero speed), air flow is reduced
to the minimum to maintain comfort
conditions inside the passenger
compartment as long as possible when
the system is in AUTO mode (LED N
on).The climate control system control unit
attempts to manage the discomfort
caused by the engine stopping
(compressor and engine coolant pump
off) but operation of the climate control
system can be enhanced by turning
the Start&Stop off by pressing the
dedicated button on the dashboard.
NoteIn particularly severe climate
conditions it is recommended to limit
the use of the Start&Stop function
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.
NoteWhen the Start&Stop function is
on (engine off and vehicle speed zero),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of window misting up (as the
compressor is off).

ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger
compartment to be heated more
quickly in cold weather conditions. The
additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
Automatic dual zone
climate control system
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater activates
automatically depending on the
environmental conditions and with
engine started.
Manual climate control
system
The additional heater activates
automatically when knob A is turned to
the end of the red section and the fan
is set to at least 1
stspeed.
IMPORTANT The heater only works if
the outside temperature and engine
coolant temperature are low. The heater
will not activate if the battery voltage is
too low.
IMPORTANT
2) The climate control system
detects the passenger
compartment temperature with a
mean radiant temperature sensor
fitted in a cover under the internal
rear view mirror. Obstructing the
field of view of this sensor with
any object could cause the
climate control system to operate
with less than optimal efficiency
EXTERNAL LIGHTS
IN BRIEF
The left stalk fig. 31 operates most of
the external lights. The external
lights can only be switched on when
the ignition key is at MAR-ON.
The instrument panel and the
dashboard and central tunnel
controls will light up together with the
external lights.31
A0K0556

Page 44 of 280
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted through the Setup menu
(see paragraph “Menu Items” in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
section).
If the engine is stopped with the lever in
“automatic” position, when it is next
started no wiping cycle will take place
even if it is raining. This prevents
accidental activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (e.g. when
the windscreen is being washed by
hand or the wipers are stuck to the
windscreen when there is ice).
To restore automatic operation of the
rain sensor, turn the ring nut on the
right stalk A fig. 32 from automatic
position (AUTO) toOposition and then
turn A ring nut back to the AUTO
position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated
using any of the manoeuvres described
above, reactivation is indicated by a
single stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.
If the sensitivity is changed whilst the
rain sensor is operating, a windscreen
wiper stroke is carried out to confirm
the change.In the event of malfunction of the rain
sensor whilst it is active, the
windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with
the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor,
regardless of whether there is rain on
the glass (sensor failure is indicated on
the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it
is possible to set the windscreen wiper
to continuous mode (1
stor 2
nd
speed).
The failure indication remains for as
long as the sensor is active.
REAR WINDOW
WASHER/WIPER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Activation
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Turn ring nut B fig. 32 from positionO
to position
to operate the rear
window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the
windscreen wiper is not operating;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when
the windscreen wiper is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse gear
engaged and the control active.With reverse gear engaged and
windscreen wiper on, the rear window
wiper is activated in continuous mode.
Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) will
activate the rear window washer jet.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than
half a second to activate the rear
window wiper as well. Releasing the
stalk will activate the smart washing
function, as described for the
windscreen wiper.
WARNING
13) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation
for a few seconds, may intervene.
If operation is not restored (even
after restarting that car with the
key), contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
14) Do not operate the windscreen
wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
