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.

off.DISABLING THE ALARM
To completely deactivate the alarm (e.g.
during a lengthy period of car
inactivity), close the doors by turning
the metal insert of the key with remote
control in the door lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key
with the remote control run out or
the system fails, the alarm can
be switched off by placing the key in
the ignition switch and then turning it to
MAR-ON.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 11:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car
radio, central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key
to be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

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.

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.

versions/markets, where
provided) (the windscreen wipers
adapt the operating speed
automatically to suit the intensity
of the rain)
intermittent operation;
continuous slow operation;
continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation to the time
for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
wiper will be automatically stopped.
"Smart washing"
function
Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer. Keep the stalk
pulled for more than half a second to
operate the windscreen washer jet and
wiper automatically with a single
movement.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infrared LED sensor fitted
on the car windscreen fig. 33.
It is able to detect the presence of rain
and consequently manage windscreen
wiping in accordance with the amount
of water on the windscreen.
Activation
The sensor is activated when ring nut A
fig. 32 is turned to “automatic” position
(“AUTO” control): the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in
accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen.
This frequency can vary from no stroke
(no rain - windscreen dry) up to the
2
ndconstant speed operation (heavy
rain - windscreen wet).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.

ESC SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
car in various driving conditions.
The ESC system corrects the car’s
understeer and oversteer, distributing
the brake force on the appropriate
wheels. The torque supplied by
the engine can also be reduced in
order to maintain control of the car.
30) 31) 32) 33) 34)
The ESC system uses sensors installed
on the car to determine the trajectory
that the driver intends to follow and
compares it with the car’s effective
trajectory. When the real trajectory
deviates from the desired trajectory, the
ESC system intervenes to counter the
car’s understeer or oversteer.
❒Oversteer: occurs when the car is
turning more than it should according
to the angle of the steering wheel.
❒Understeer: occurs when the car is
turning less than it should according
to the angle of the steering wheel.The ESC system also includes the
following systems:
❒EBD
❒ABS
❒CBC
❒ASR
❒HILL HOLDER
❒HBA
❒MSR
❒DST
❒“ELECTRONIC Q2” (“E-Q2”)
❒"PRE-FILL" (RAB - Ready Alert
Brake)
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system switches on
automatically when the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that the car is
in critical stability and grip conditions.EBD SYSTEM
The EBD system is an integral part of
the ESC system and intervenes during
braking, distributing the brake force
optimally between front and rear
wheels.
This guarantees greater braking stability
for the car, preventing sudden locking
of the rear wheels and the consequent
instability of the car.
ABS
This system, which is an integral part of
the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in all road surface conditions,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the car
can be controlled even during
emergency braking and optimising
stopping distances.
The system intervenes when braking
and the wheels are about to lock,
typically in emergency braking or
low-grip conditions, when locking may
be more frequent.
The system also improves control and
stability of the car when braking on a
surface where the grip of the left and
right wheels varies, or on corners.
