Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car’s anti-crush function is active as the windows are being raised.
This safety system detects the presence of an obstacle during the
window closing travel and intervenes by stopping and reversing the
window travel, depending on its position. This device is also useful
if the windows are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-crush safety function is active both during the manual and
the automatic operation of the window. When the anti-crush system is
activated, the window travel is immediately interrupted and then
reversed. The window cannot be operated in any way during this time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection intervenes 5 consecutive times
within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation of the
window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a second with the
button released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
In order to restore the correct operation of the system, the relevant
window must be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the electric
windows remain active for about 3 minutes and are deactivated when
a door is opened.
IMPORTANT With the anti-crush system, when the
button on the
remote control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will
open, whilst if the
button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds
the windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard concerning
the safety of passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check
that no passenger is at risk of being injured directly
by the moving window or by objects getting caught in or
dragged by the window. When leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition to prevent accidental operation of the
electric windows from being a hazard for those still on board.
Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after disconnecting the battery or if
the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❒fully close the window to initialise with manual operation;
❒after the window has reached the upper end of travel, hold down
the closing control for at least 1 second.
For versions/markets where provided, after a break in power supply
for the control units (battery replaced or disconnected or protective
fuses for the electric window control units replaced), the automatic
operation of the windows must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be performed as described below with
the doors closed:
❒completely open the driver's door window, holding the operating
button down for at least three seconds after the (lower) end of travel
position;
❒completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down
for at least 3 seconds once the (upper) end of travel position has
been reached;

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same type and
power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is
intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to
the paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this section.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metal part
only. Touching the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted light and
even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are
not carried out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which may
cause small fragments of glass to be projected
outwards if the bulb is broken.
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.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene (blow) in the event of
a failure or improper intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition of its protection
fuse: the filament A fig. 151 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with the same
amperage (same colour).
B = undamaged fuse.
C = fuse with damaged filament.
Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services should the
fuse blow again.
Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition
key has been removed and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services if a safety
system (airbags, brakes), power unit system (engine,
gearbox) or steering system general protection
fuse blows.

FUSE LOCATION
Fuses are grouped together in three fuse boxes located in the engine
compartment, dashboard and luggage compartment.
Engine compartment fuse box
This is located next to the battery fig. 153: to access the fuses, undo
screws A fig. 152 and remove cover B.
The number identifying the electrical component corresponding to each
fuse is on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you close cover B on the junction
unit.
If it is necessary to wash the engine compartment, take
care not to directly hit the junction unit and the window
wiper motors with the water jet.
