2)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.
3)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
activate mode P (Park) and press the ignition
device to set it to STOP. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by pressing
the button on the handle.
4)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Start system, do not leave the electronic key
inside or near the car or in a place accessible
to children. Do not leave the vehicle with the
ignition device in ON position. A child could
activate the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.
5)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by the Alfa Romeo Dealership
before driving again.ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle
preventing to start the engine.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to ON, the
Engine Immobilizer system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognised as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, theicon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring the
ignition device to STOP and then to ON; if
it is still blocked, try with the other keys
provided. If it is still not possible to start
the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage drop).
If the display persists, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This air distribution
setting is useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen and
front side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the
windows from misting.
Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/defrosting
vents and side and central
dashboard vents. This allows air to
be sent to the windscreen in
conditions of strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all diffusers
on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the air conditioner
automatically manages the air
distribution. When set manually, the air
distribution is indicated by the respective
symbols on the Connect system display
switching on.
START & STOP EVO
The automatic dual zone climate control
system manages the Start&Stop Evo
(engine off when the vehicle speed is
0 mph (0 km/h) to ensure adequate
comfort inside the vehicle.In particular, the climate control system
turns off the Stop & Start Evo if:
the climate control system is in AUTO
mode (LED on the button switched on)
and the temperature conditions inside
the car are far from a comfort
temperature;
the climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling;
the climate control system is in HI
maximum heating;
the climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status.
With Stop & Start Evo on (engine off and
vehicle speed equal to 0 mph (0 km/h)),
the flow is reduced as much as possible,
to maintain the passenger compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R1234yf coolant gas,
which does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the components
of the system.

WINDOW WINDERS
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
20)
They work with the ignition device in the
ON position and for about 3 minutes
after the ignition device has been turned
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.
1: front left window opening/closing.
"Continuous automatic" operation during
window opening/closing stage and
anti-pinch system activated.
2: front right window opening/closing.
"Continuous automatic" operation during
window opening/closing stage and
anti-pinch system activated.

The window closing stage occurs
following the same logic described for
the opening stage both of the front door
windows and the rear door windows.
Window anti-pinch safety device
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
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
with the ignition device at AVV.
The sun roof has three preset positions:
fully closed; comfort (intermediate
opening)l fully open.
IMPORTANT You cannot have the blind
closed when the roof is open.
OPENING
Press thesymbol on button 1 fig. 37:
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
activated irrespective of the position of
the sunroof. When starting with the roof
in closed position, pressing the button
automatically causes its swivel-opening.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

warning will disappear automatically as
soon as the radio-frequency interference
ceases to affect the system;
aftermarket application of coloured
films on the windows that interfere with
the radio waves emitted by the TPMS;
accumulation of layers of snow or ice
on the wheels or the wheel arches;
using snow chains;
use of rim/tyre assemblies without
sensors for TPMS;
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the TireKit, the previous
condition must be restored, so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
Deactivating TPMS messages
(for markets where provided)
When replacing the standard wheels with
others that do not have TPMS sensors
(for example when substituting the
rim/tyre assembly for the winter season)
and depending on the country of sale, the
messages only can be disabled
automatically at the next start-up after
the fault.
The TPMS will emit an acoustic warning,
the
warning light will flash for about
75 seconds, then it will stay on
continuously and the instrument panel
will display the "TPMS check" messagewith dashes (– –) instead of the pressure
values on the Connect system display.
From the following ignition cycle, the
TPMS will not emit any acoustic warning
and the display will not show the
message "TPMS check", but the dashes
will be still displayed instead of the
pressure value.
The system will only resume normal
operation when all the pressure sensors
have been detected again.
IMPORTANT If wheels without pressure
sensors (e.g. wheels with winter tyres)
have been installed on the vehicle and the
standard wheels (with sensors) are
stored close the vehicle, the system
could detect the pressures of the latter
and consequently display the fault cycle
again once its has left the sensitive area.
WARNING
54)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about incoming
vehicles outside of the detection areas. The
driver must always maintain a sufficient
level of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the vehicle.55)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
56)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
57)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
58)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part (e.g.
another car, a wall or another obstacle), the
system may detect its presence and
activate. In this case the system must be
deactivated through the settings of the
Connect system.
59)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the spare
tyre, and correct maintenance: the system is
not used to signalling a possible tyre fault.
60)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when the
tyres are cold.
