lock/unlock door button fig. 7 and pull the
handle, (see fig. 10 ).
POWER LOCK(where provided)
6)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of the interior door handles and the door
locking/unlocking button.
It thereby prevents the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger
compartment, serving as an obstacle to
break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the
device each time you park your vehicle.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by
pressing the
button on the key twice
quickly.
The direction indicators flash 3 times to
let you know that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors are not closed
correctly, the device will not activate,
thus preventing a person from getting
stuck inside the passenger compartment
by entering the vehicle through, and then
closing, the open door.
Deactivating the device
The device disengages automatically:
when the doors are unlocked (pressing
button
on the key with remote
control);
when the ignition device is set to ON.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
7) 8)
This system prevents the rear doors from
being opened from the inside.
This device fig. 11 can be engaged only
with the doors open:
position: device engaged (door
locked);
position: device not engaged (door
may be opened from the inside).
The device remains engaged even if the
doors are electrically unlocked.
IMPORTANT The rear doors cannot be
opened from the inside when the child
safety device is engaged.

with the engine stopped the battery may
run down.
WARNING
14)All adjustments must be carried out only
with the car stationary and engine stopped.
15)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS and also
result in the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS

normal operating position, the system
will activated an auxiliary realignment
cycle when the first opening/closing
command is imparted. The mirror will
therefore return to the overtravel
position which was reached by accident,
will fold and then open to the correct
position.

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

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).

ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Start) run down or flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the car and displays a dedicated
message.
In this case, follow the instructions in
paragraph "Starting with flat key battery"
in the "Knowing your car" chapter and
start the engine normally.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
33)
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic;
engage P (Park) mode;
with engine idling, press the start
button.
Cars with electronic key (Keyless Start)
If the car speed is above 5 mph (8 km/h),
it is still possible to stop the engine if a
gear operating mode other than P (Park)
is selected. To switch off the engine in
this situation, hold down the ignition
device button for a while or press it
3 times in a row within a few seconds.
WARNING
101)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in oxygen
and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
102)The electro-hydraulic braking system
is not active until the engine starts running.
So, the brake pedal travel will be longer than
normal. This does not indicate a fault.
103)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.

STARTING AND DRIVING

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
The Lane Departure Warning system
makes use of a camera located on the
windscreen to detect the lane limits and
calculate the position of the vehicle
within such limits, in order to make sure
that it remains inside the lane.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over one
without the driver's say-so (direction
indicator not turned on), the system
emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the surpassed line will
light up on the display (left or right) to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
The system is activated/deactivated by
pressing the button fig. 114
Each time the engine is started, the
system maintains the operating mode
that was selected when it was previously
switched off.Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system becomes
active only if the following conditions are
met:
the car speed is higher than 37 mph
(the system is deactivated at speeds
equal to or higher than 110 mph –
180 km/h);
the lane limit lines are visible at least
on one side;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide radius
bends;
a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active.
IMPORTANT
47)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned, in
order not to cover the camera operating
range.
48)If the windscreen must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively an Alfa Romeo Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the area of the
camera.
49)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
50)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the bonnet
(e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they do
not interfere with the camera
51)The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.
