IMPORTANT DO NOT accelerate while
shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
a cold engine.
AutoStick - Manual (sequential)
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshifting (e.g.
for sport driving, when the vehicle is
driven with a heavy load, on slopes, with
strong headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
Autostick (sequential shifting) mode to
select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
In these conditions, the use of a lower
gear improves vehicle performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from D mode (Drive)
to sequential mode regardless of vehicle
speed.
Activation
Starting from D (Drive) mode, to activate
the sequential drive mode, move the
lever to the left (– and + indication of the
trim). The gear engaged will be shown on
the display.
Gearshifting is made by moving the gear
lever forwards, towards symbol – or
backwards, towards symbol +.Steering wheel stalks
(where provided)
The gear can also be manually shifted by
using the levers behind the steering
wheel. Pull the right shift lever (+)
towards the steering wheel and release it
to engage a higher gear; perform the
same operation with the left lever (-) to
engage a lower gear fig. 99.
To engage N (Neutral): pull
simultaneously both levers.
To activate D (Drive) mode, from N
(Neutral), P (Parking) and R (Reverse):
push the brake pedal and the right lever
(+).
IMPORTANT If only one manual shift is
necessary, the letter D will remain on the
display with the engaged gear next to it.
Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential drivingmode, bring the gear lever back in
position D (Drive) ("automatic" driving
mode).
TRANSMISSION EMERGENCY
FUNCTION
(where provided)
Transmission operation is constantly
monitored to detect any fault. If a
condition that might damage the
transmission is detected, the
"transmission emergency" function is
activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays
in 4
thgear, regardless of the selected
gear. The P (Parking), R (Reverse) and N
(Neutral) modes continue to work.
The
symbol might light up in the
display.
In the event of a "transmission
emergency" immediately contact the
nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Temporary failure
If the warning light turns on, the failure
may be temporary, in which case, proceed
as follows to restore correct
transmission operation:
stop the vehicle;
engage P (Park) mode;
bring the ignition device to STOP;
wait for about 10 seconds, then
restart the engine;

select the desired gear: if the problem
is not detected anymore the
transmission correct operation is
restored.
IMPORTANT In the event of a temporary
failure it is in any case recommended to
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.
GEAR ENGAGEMENT DISABLING
SYSTEM WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) if
the brake pedal has not been previously
depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position other
than P (Park), the ignition device must be
in position AVV (engine on or off) and the
brake pedal must be pressed.
WARNING
107)Never use position P (Park) instead of
the electric parking brake. Always engage
the electric parking brake when parking the
vehicle to avoid the accidental movement of
the vehicle.
108)If the P (Park) position is not engaged,
the vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
electric parking brake is engaged.109)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your vehicle and
causing accidents.
IMPORTANT
34)Before selecting P (Park) mode, bring the
ignition device to position ON and press the
brake pedal. Otherwise, the gear lever may
get damaged.
35)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.
"ALFA DNA™"SYSTEM
“Alfa DNA™”SYSTEM (car dynamic
control system)
This device allows, using the selector
fig. 100 (on the central tunnel), different
car response modes to be selected
according to driving style and road
conditions:
d = Dynamic (sports driving mode)
n = Normal (mode for driving in normal
conditions)
a = Advanced Efficiency (ECO driving
mode for maximum fuel savings)
RACE = track race driving mode (where
provided)
= adjusts the calibration of the
suspensions (where provided)
When the engine is stopped, the selector
always returns to “n” (Normal) mode.
