Drive Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 Owner's Manual

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter
at the side of each even page.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could
cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore, allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be followed carefully.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That
number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle starts here.
The handbook that you are reading simply and directly explains
how it is made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it seated comfortably on board,
so that you can see immediately what is described for you.

pressing any buttons on the electronic
key.
The key is detected only after the system
recognizes the presence of a hand in one

the car battery is flat.
Rear doors and passenger door
Proceed as follows:
insert the metal insert of the
electronic key in the release device
housing fig. 12;
turn the key clockwise for the right
door locks or anticlockwise for the left
door locks;

press thebutton on the door panel;
open by inserting the key insert in the
driver's door lock;
operate the internal door handle.
IMPORTANT For the rear doors, if the
child lock device was engaged and the
previously described locking procedure
carried out, operating the internal handle
will not open the door but will only realign
the lock release device. To open the door,
the outside handle must be used. The
door central locking/unlocking buttons
are not deactivated when the emergency
lock is engaged.
WARNING
6)Once the Power Lock system is engaged,
it is impossible to open the doors from inside
the vehicle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is no-one
left inside.
7)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the car, let alone leave the car with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can access
easily. Children may seriously, or even
fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure that
children do not inadvertently operate the
electric parking brake, the brake pedal or the
transmission lever.8)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once a
door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If the
key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of metal
objects near the key or the car. In these
cases it is still possible to unlock the doors
by using the metal insert in the electronic key
(see description on the following pages).
