ELECTRIC WINDOWS
15)
2)
These operate when the ignition key is
turned to MAR and for about 3 minutes
after turning the key to STOP or
removing it if one of the doors is open.
Anti-crush safety device
An anti-crush device is operated when
the windows are lifted. This safety
system detects the presence of an
obstacle during the window closing travel
and cuts in by stopping and reversing the
window travel, depending on its position.
The anti-crushing feature is active during
window manual and automatic operation.
CONTROLS
Driver side door1 fig. 27: front left window
opening/closing
2: front right window opening/closingWindow opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window. When one of the two buttons is
pressed briefly, the window moves in
"stages"; if the button is held down,
"continuous automatic" operation is
activated. If the button is pressed again,
the window will stop in the desired
position. If the button is held down for
several seconds, the window raises or
lowers automatically (only with ignition
key in MAR position).

pressing the button again
Brief button pressure: “manual” sunroof
closing. If button is pressed briefly, the
front glass panel moves from the
completely open position and stops in the
position where the button is released. In
this case, the panel closes by pressing it.
This function makes it possible to place
the front glass panel in intermediate
positions in relation to those produced
through automatic closing.
IMPORTANT The sun roof must stay
closed if a transverse roof rack is fitted.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is
closing; when this happens, the system
stops and the movement of the front
glass is immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT The anti-pinch system is
disabled through continuous pressure of
button 2.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
The sunroof must be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the
relevant protection fuse is blown.Perform the following:
press button 2 until the roof is
completely closed. Then release the
button;
press button 2 and hold it down for at
least 10 seconds and/or until the glass
panel clicks forwards. Release the button
at this point;
within 5 seconds of the previous
operation, press button B and hold it
down: the front glass panel will complete
a full opening and closing cycle. Only
release the button at the end of this
cycle.
MAINTENANCE/EMERGENCY
In case of emergency or maintenance the
roof can be moved manually when there
is no power supply (opening/closing of
the front glass panel) by carrying out the
following operations:
remove the protective cap 1
fig. 29 located on the internal lining,
between the two sun blinds;
take the Allen key 2 supplied (located
in the on-board documentation container
or in the toolbox in the luggage
compartment);
introduce the key into housing 3 and
turn it clockwise to open the roof or
anticlockwise to close the roof.

3)Do not open the sun roof if there is snow
or ice on it: you may damage it.
WARNING
16)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car due to accidental operation of the
sun roof. Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that no one is exposed to the
risk of being injured by the moving sun roof
or by objects getting caught or hit by it.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights

safety as well as for all other road users.
This is also covered by a specific rule of
the highway code.

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. 34 (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
display. When “Natural” mode is selected,

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.
