GRAPHICAL INDEX

SYMBOLS
Some 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
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the car. It
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
There is an electronic device in each
key which can identify the signal
emitted, when the engine is started,
from an aerial built into the ignition
switch. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started, is the
“password” by means of which the
control unit recognises the key and
enables starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR-ON, 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 by 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.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
warning
light (on some versions a message
together with a symbol is shown on the
display) switches on in the instrument
panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come
with the car. If it is still not possible to
start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Activation of warning
light while driving
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) switches on, this means
that the system is running self-
diagnosis (caused, for example, by a
voltage drop).
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) stays on, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly and
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON.
4) 5)
WARNING
2) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
3) When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to prevent
someone from accidentally
activating the controls.
Remember to engage the
handbrake. Engage 1
stgear if the
car is parked uphill or reverse if
the car is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
car.4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could badly affect
performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance
of the car with approval
requirements.
5) Never remove the key while the
car is moving. The steering wheel
will lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being
towed as well.

IMPORTANT The daytime running lights
are an alternative to the dipped beam
headlights for driving during the
daytime in countries where it is
compulsory to have lights on during the
day; where it is not compulsory, the
use of daytime running lights is
permitted.
IMPORTANT Daytime running lights
cannot replace dipped beam headlights
when driving at night or through
tunnels. The use of daytime running
lights is governed by the Highway Code
of the country in which you are driving.
Comply with legal requirements.
SIDE LIGHTS/DIPPED
BEAM HEADLIGHTS

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 Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the external lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 31 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external lighting
conditions.
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. To
activate these lights, turn the ring nut A
to
and activate the fixed dipped
beam headlights.
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 display.
It is also possible to deactivate the
sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.

“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE
This device allows you to illuminate the
area in front of the car for a certain
amount of time.Activation
With the key turned to STOP or
removed, pull stalk A towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights
stay on for an extra 30 seconds up to
a maximum of 210 seconds; then
the lights are switched off automatically.
Also, each time the stalk is operated,
the
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on. The
display shows the time set for the
function and the corresponding
graphics.
The warning light comes on when the
lever is operated and stays on until
the function is automatically
deactivated. Each movement of the
stalk only increases the amount of time
the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than 2
seconds.
37

The device cannot be engaged in 1stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage
it in 5
thgear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed
the stored speed.
The
warning light and, for
versions/markets, where provided,
message on the display are switched
on to indicate activation.
STORING THE CAR
SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 34 to ON and
press the accelerator to reach the
required speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed is now stored and you can
therefore release the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you
release the pedal, the car goes back to
the speed stored previously.RESTORING THE
MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the
stored speed can be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is
reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
❒press the RES button (B fig. 34).
INCREASING THE
MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
storing the new speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+) until
the new speed, which will be stored
automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to an increase in speed of
about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held upwards will continuously increase
the speed.REDUCING THE
MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–)
until the new speed, which will be
stored automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the lever
corresponds to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
