window Alfa Romeo MiTo 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, bonnet, headlight frames, etc.)
with special care, as water may stagnate
more easily in these areas. Do not wash
the car after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the
shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths
to prevent scratching or altering the
transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside
gently with a cloth following the direction
of the filaments to avoid damaging the
heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 20 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly at
the electronic control units or at the
windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure that
the various protections (e.g. rubber caps
and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
IMPORTANT
5)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.
IMPORTANT
44)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
45)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes should
not be used for cleaning the car. Bird
droppings must be washed off immediately
and thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to remove
them with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could alter
the typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.

services.
Efficient Drive
(where provided)
The Efficient Drive application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you reach a more
efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the following
parameters: acceleration, deceleration,
gearchange, speed
Display of the Efficient Drive
(where provided)
Press the Efficient Drive button to
interact with the function.
On theUconnect™display, a screen will
appear showing 4 indices: “Acceleration”,
“Deceleration”, “Speed” and “Gear”. These
indices are grey until the system has
enough data to evaluate the driving style.
Once sufficient data are available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending on
the evaluation: dark green (very good),
light green, yellow, orange and red (very
bad).
In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices up to that moment (“Averageindex”) then the indices will be coloured
again in real time as soon as the vehicle is
restarted.
my:Car
my:Car application allows you to keep the
condition of your vehicle always under
control.
my:Car can detect malfunction in real
time and inform the driver about the
expiry of the servicing interval. Press the
"my:Car" button to interact with the
application.
The display will show a screen with the
"care:Index" section, which provides all
the detailed information about the status
of the vehicle. Press the "Active
warnings" button to show (if present) the
details of the vehicle's faults which
caused a warning light to switch on.

VOICE COMMANDS
Using voice commands
The
button on the steering wheel
activates the “Phone” voice recognition
mode, there is a "beep" and the display
shows a suggestion screen inviting the
user to say a command.
If the
button is pressed during a
system voice message, it activates the
“Radio/Media” voice recognition mode
that controls the radio and he
USB/iPod/CD and MP3 players.
Please follow the suggestions below to
be sure that the voice commands are
always recognised by the system:
speak at a normal volume;
always wait for the "beep" (warning
sound) before speaking;
if possible, try and keep the noise in
the passenger compartment to a
minimum. It is also advisable to close the
windows and sunroof (where provided).
193

for optimum operation, it is advisable
to close the windows and the sun roof
(where provided) to avoid external
interference;
IMPORTANT Voice commands must
always be given in safe driving
conditions, in compliance with the laws in
force in the country where you are driving
and using the mobile phone correctly.
Multiple choice
In a few specific cases the system cannot
unambiguously identify the given voice
command and asks the user to choose
between a maximum of four alternatives.
The system will propose a numbered list
of the available alternatives, asking the
user to say the associated number.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle. This guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code from
being entered after the power supply has
been disconnected. If the check has a
positive outcome, the system will start to
operate.
If the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret codeaccording to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits,
from 1 to 9: to insert the first number of
the code press the corresponding key on
the display. Enter the other code digits in
the same way. After entering the fourth
digit, the system begins operating. If an
incorrect code is entered, the system
displays "Incorrect Code" to notify the
user of the need to enter the correct
code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays "Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Please wait
30 minutes” (the waiting time is
displayed). After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the
system. The vehicle radio passport shows
the system model, serial number and
secret code.
In the event that the radio passport is
lost, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership,taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you can
give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
WARNING
150)When inserting a device (USB or iPod)
in the USB port, make sure that it does not
obstruct the operation of the handbrake
lever.
WARNING
151)When inserting a device in the AUX
socket, make sure that it does not obstruct
the operation of the handbrake lever.
