HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for the driver's comfort and
safety as well as for all other road users.
This is also covered by a specific rule of
the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility
conditions for all drivers. Contact a Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the headlights
checked and adjusted, if necessary.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Alfa Romeo Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted, if
necessary.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are aligned
to comply with the regulations of the
country of purchase. When driving in
countries with a different traffic
direction, to avoid blinding the drivers
travelling in the opposite direction, it is
necessary to cover the areas of the beam
according to the provisions of the
Highway Code of the country you are
driving in.
Alfa DNASYSTEM (Car dynamic
control system)
This device allows, using lever 1
fig. 33 (on the central tunnel), three car
response modes to be selected according
to driving style and road conditions:
d=Dynamic(sports driving mode);
n=Natural(mode for driving in normal
conditions);
a=All Weather(mode for driving in
poor grip conditions, such as rain and
snow).
The lever 1 is of the monostable type. In
other words, it always remains in a
central position.
The selected driving mode is indicated by
the corresponding LED switching on in
the panel and by an indication on the
reconfigurable multifunction display.

DISPLAY
The car is equipped with a reconfigurable
multifunction display that, according to
the previously applied settings, will show
useful driving information.
With the ignition key removed, the
display lights up and shows the time and
total odometer reading (in km or miles)
for a few seconds when a door is
opened/closed.
RECONFIGURABLE MULTIFUNCTION
DISPLAY
The following information is shown on the
display (example given in fig. 38 ):
1: Time
2: Area reserved for messages
(information, settings, etc)
3: Milometer (total distance covered
in km or miles).4: Car status indications (e.g. doors open,

provided)
5: Headlight alignment position (only with
dipped beam headlights on)
6: External temperature
The turbocharger pressure will appear on
some versions when “DYNAMIC” driving
mode is selected (see “Alfa DNA system”
in this chapter).GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear through
a special indication on the display.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is advisable
to stick to “Natural” or “All Weather”
mode and to follow the suggestions of
the Gear Shift Indicator, where traffic
conditions permit.
When the SHIFT UP icon
is shown on
the display the GSI suggests the driver to
up-shift, whereas if the SHIFT DOWN
icon
is displayed, the driver is advised
to down-shift.
The indication in the instrument panel
remains on until the driver shifts gear or
the driving conditions go back to a
situation where gearshifting is not
required to improve consumption.

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
