GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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 windscreen
wiper will be automatically stopped.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk 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 windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It can detect the presence of rain and
consequently manage windscreen wiping
in accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen.
The sensor is activated when the ring 2
fig. 22 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.
If no rain is detected, the wiper will not
carry out any strokes.If the engine is switched off with the
lever in the automatic position, when the
car is next started, no wiping cycle will
take place even if it is raining. This is to
prevent unwanted activation of the rain
sensor when the engine is started (i.e.
when the windscreen is being washed by
hand or the wiper blades are stuck to the
windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the
rain sensor, turn the ring on the right stalk
2 fig. 22 from automatic position (AUTO)
to positionOand then turn ring 2 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.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Turn ring 1 fig. 22 from positionOto
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.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(rocking 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.
IMPORTANT
5)Never use the windscreen wipers 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.
6)Do not operate the windscreen wiper with
the blades lifted from the windscreen.

Air flow to the front and 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 to central/side dashboard diffusers (passenger’s body).

Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents 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 vents. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly, giving
a prompt sensation of warmth
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on.
You can also set a combination of the air distribution settings described above. In combined function mode the relevant function is
enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop
The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when car speed is 0 km/h) to ensure
adequate comfort inside the car. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and car at a standstill), the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor
is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf (indicated on a
specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
These operate when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and for about 3 minutes
after turning the key to STOP or
removing it if one of the front doors is
open.
The buttons are located in the door panel
trim fig. 25 (the driver side door panel
can be used to operate all the windows).
Anti-crush safety device
An anti-pinch device operates when the
front and rear windows are raised. This
safety system detects the presence of an
obstacle during the window closing travel
and cuts in by stopping and reversing the
window travel, depending on its position.
