Deactivating passenger side airbags:
front airbag and side bag for pelvis,
chest and shoulders protection (Side
bag)
If a child must be carried on the front seat
in a rear facing child restraint system,
deactivate the passenger side front
airbag and side bag for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection (Side bag). To
deactivate the airbags use the display
Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
With airbags deactivated, a warning light
lights up on the instrument panel in
the trim located above the internal
rearview mirror fig. 58.With front passenger airbag on, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on constantly for several
seconds and then it should switch off.
If the warning light
flashes, this
indicates a fault in the warning light
.
Before proceeding, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the system
checked immediately.
On moving the ignition device to MAR,
the warning light
switches on for a
few seconds. If not, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. During the first
seconds, the activation of the warning
light
does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but only
tests its correct operation. After a test of
a few seconds, the warning light will
indicate the status of the passenger
airbag protection.Passenger's protection active: warning
light
off.
Passenger protection deactivated: the
OFF: the warning light
switches on
with a steady light.
The warning light
may light up with
various intensity levels depending on the
vehicle conditions. The intensity may vary
during the same key cycle.

SAFETY

STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURE
92) 93) 94)
21) 22) 23)
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake and place the
gear lever in neutral;
turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position. ONLY FOR DIESEL VERSIONS:
The instrument panel
warning light
comes on and the
icon appears on
the display.
wait for the warning lights to switch
off;
fully depress the clutch pedal, without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts.
If, with the ignition key turned to MAR,
the icon
on the display stays on
together with the warning light
, turn
the key to STOP and then back to MAR. If
the icon continues to stay on, try with the
other keys provided with the car. Contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership if the engine
still does not start.
Never leave the ignition key in
MAR-ON position when the engine is
stopped.
ENGINE MINIMUM OIL LEVEL
INDICATION
(where provided)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
the display shows a warning message, for
a few seconds, if the engine oil is at the
minimum level.
IMPORTANT To perform the engine oil
reading correctly, after turning the
ignition key to MAR wait for about
2 seconds before starting the engine.
WARNING
92)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in oxygen
and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
93)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to apply
much more force than usual to the brake
pedal.94)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
21)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
22)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
23)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
24)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be regularly
used, but an Alfa Romeo Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.

REPLACING A BULB
32)109) 110) 111)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Check that the corresponding
contacts are not oxidised and that the
corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this chapter.
replace blown bulbs with others of the
same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or
damp or after heavy rain or washing, the
surface of headlights or rear lights may
steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault and
does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist
disappears quickly when the lights are
turned on, starting from the centre of the
diffuser, extending progressively
towards the edges.71A0K0622C

alcohol and let the bulb dry.
