ALFA ROMEO CODESYSTEM
The Alfa Romeo Code prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle, disabling
engine starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the
Powertrain Control Module 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
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the icon
appears on 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 iconappears on the display,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to a
voltage drop).
If the iconcontinues to be
displayed, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1)The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected to
strong shocks. In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic devices inside the
key, it should never be exposed to direct
sunlight.

WARNING
17)A heavy load that has not been secured
may cause serious injuries to passengers in
the event of an accident.
18)If you are travelling in an area with
limited opportunities for vehicle refuelling
and you wish to bring petrol with you in a
petrol can, you must do so in compliance with
current regulations and using an approved
can, appropriately secured to the load
securing attachments. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the
same.
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.

IMPORTANT
10)The car is equipped with a specifically
designed gaseous LPG injection system: it is
therefore absolutely forbidden to alter the
configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components or
materials could cause malfunctions and lead
to a reduction in safety; therefore, in the
case of problems, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. When towing or lifting the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the main
handbook under the paragraph on "Towing
the vehicle" to prevent damage to the gas
system parts.
11)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
12)When using a painting oven, the LPG
tank should be removed from the car and
later carefully refitted at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable to
proceed as follows every time the vehicle is
not in use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the devices fastening the
cover of the LPG tank, then remove it. Close
the LPG cock rotating the ring nut clockwise
(see "Passive safety / active safety"). Refit
the cover and retighten the fastening
devices.13)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
14)It is strictly forbidden to use any additive
in the LPG. Periodically (at least once every
six months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first refuelling, to
check that it does not exceed the maximum
capacity of 38 litres (reserve included) (with
a tolerance of 2 litres excess). If the level is
above 38 litres (reserve included) contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership immediately.
15)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching logic
described above, a delay between the valve
ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.
16)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low propane
content, the system may switch temporarily
to petrol operation, without a visual
indication of switching on the instrument
panel. In the event of low LPG levels in the
tank or request for high performance (e.g.
overtaking, car fully laden, steep hills) the
system may automatically switch to petrol
operation to guarantee the engine power
requested; the green warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate this.
When the above conditions are no longer
present, the system automatically restores
LPG operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol tank.
