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.When “Natural” mode is selected, no
messages or symbols are shown on the
display.
The device acts on the dynamic car
control systems (engine, steering, ESC,
ASR, ELECTRONIC Q2 systems, etc.).
TURNING “Dynamic” MODE ON/OFF
9)
IMPORTANT For versions/markets,
where provided, switching to "Dynamic"
mode is automatically disabled in the
first kilometres in order to guarantee
correct settling of the mechanical
components. If an attempt to activate
the system is made before this limit, the
display will show a dedicated message to
remind the driver that this request
cannot be fulfilled.
Activation
Move lever 1 fig. 33 downwards (to the
letter “d”) and hold in this position for
0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED
lights up or the word “Dynamic” appears
on the display.
When lever 1 fig. 33 is moved to the “d”
position, the activation of “Dynamic”
mode is confirmed by a temporary
variation in the brightness (flashing) of
the instrument panel.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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,
possible ice on road, etc.)/Start&Stop
function indication (for versions/
markets, where provided)/Gear Shift
Indicator (for versions/markets, where
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.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These are located within the front
bumper.
They are activated when the dipped
beam and/or main beam headlights are
on and the windscreen washer is
activated.
Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
WARNING
137)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
IMPORTANT
46)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
BATTERY
The battery 5 (see previous pages) does
not require the electrolyte to be topped
up with distilled water. A periodic check
carried out at an Alfa Romeo Dealership
is, however, necessary to check
efficiency.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
138) 139) 140) 141)
47)
5)
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make
it last longer, observe the following
instructions:
when you park the car, ensure that the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly, to prevent any lights from
remaining on inside the passenger's
compartment;
switch off all roof lights inside the car:
the car is however equipped with a
system which switches all internal lights
off automatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
IMPORTANT Every time the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. This is indicated by the
appearance of the icon
. To carry out
this procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the
other or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery is
damaged by sulphation, reducing its
capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (this can happen as early as
-10°C). Refer to the "Vehicle inactivity"
paragraph in "Starting and driving"
chapter if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time.
