AUTO FUNCTION (Dusk sensor)
This is implemented by an infrared LED
sensor on the windscreen that works in
conjunction with the rain sensor. It is able
to detect variations in the outside light
level based on the light sensitivity set
through the Connect system.
The dusk sensor sensitivity can be
adjusted according to 3 levels: level
1=minimum sensitivity, level 2=average
sensitivity, level 3=maximum sensitivity.
The higher the sensitivity set, the lesser
is the external light variation needed to
switch the lights on (e.g. with a setting on
level 3 at sunset the headlights come on
earlier than levels 1 and 2).

to the STOP position. When one of the
front doors is opened this operation is
disabled.
Driver side front door controls
The buttons are located on the door
panel trim. All windows can be controlled
from the driver side door panel fig. 36.

window closing movement. If this occurs,
the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it, depending on
its position.
The anti-pinch safety function is
activated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.
Electric window system initialisation
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
To perform the initialization procedure,
which must be done on each door with the
doors closed, manually fully close the
window to be initialized.

WARNING
20)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it.
ELECTRIC SUNROOF
(where provided)
21)
The electric sunroof comprises two glass
panels (the front one is mobile and the
rear one fixed) and is fitted with an
electrically operated sun blind.
Operation of the sunroof is only possible

the roof will open to the comfort position.
A second press will open it fully.
A long press of the same button will open
the roof until it is released, or if held
down, until it reaches the comfort
position. Use the button in the same way
to open the roof fully from that position.
11)
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pressing button
1 again.
If the electric blind is closed, the roof
opening control opens it too.
CLOSING
From the position of complete opening
press button 1 next to the
symbol:
the roof will close completely.
A long press of the same button moves
the roof until it is released.
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pressing button
1 again.
SWIVEL OPENING
To bring the roof to the swivel position,
press and release button 2 fig. 37.
This type of swivel opening can be

control will also close the roof.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must
be initialised again in case of faulty
sunroof operation.
IMPORTANT The anti-pinch safety
function is deactivated during the
initialisation procedure.
Proceed as follows:
press button 1 next to thesymbol
to bring the roof into completely closed
position;
bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds. Then set the
ignition device to AVV and start the
engine;
press thesymbol on button 1 and
hold it down; after 10 seconds you will
hear the electric motors of the roof and
blind stop in sequence;
release the button and within
5 seconds, press the
symbol on
button 1 and hold it down (until the cycle
end): the roof will automatically perform
a complete open and close cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation has been
successful). If this does not occur, the
procedure must be restarted from the
beginning.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure you have the key with you 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 sunroof or by objects
getting caught or hit by it.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.

WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Possible detailed messages and/or acoustic signalling can be matched to a few warning lights and symbols.
Red warning lights
Warning
lightWhat it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly due to a leak in
the circuit.
Go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked as soon as possible.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged.
Release the electric parking brake, then check that the warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the car is parked on a gradient of more than 30% and/or the brake temperature is greater than 662°F (350°C),
when the parking brake is engaged, the warning light will flash to indicate a potentially unsafe condition.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates either a failure of the
EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
