VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
Accessories Purchased By The Owner
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact an authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical
system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
NOTE:
Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect effi-
ciency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal (mats, etc.).
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.
Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices
FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE:
Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed. This also may void the warranty
in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.
Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate antenna is
mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of approved mobile phones is
concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.
WARNING!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
CAUTION!
The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the
safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Start system
may occur.

AMBER WARNING LIGHTS
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
This light monitors the ABS. The light will
turn on when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position and may stay on
for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and service is required.
However, the conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the brake
indicator light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be
serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS light does
not turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
ESC System Intervention : Intervention by the
system is indicated by the flashing of the
indicator light: it indicates that the vehicle is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure: If the indicator light does not
turn off, or if it stays on with the engine running,
a failure was found in the ESC system.
Hill Start Assist System Failure : The illumination
of the indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist
system failure.
In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
The indicator light illuminates to indicate that
some active safety systems have been partially or
totally deactivated
Ú
page 135.
When the active safety systems are reactivated,
the indicator light turns off.
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)
In normal conditions, when the ignition
is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but it should turn off as
soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the indicator light may be
checked by the traffic police using specific
devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of
the country where you are driving.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
traveling at moderate speed but without
demanding excessive effort from the engine or
high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the
indicator light on constantly may cause damage.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System
This indicator light informs the driver
that the frontal collision alarm function
is not enabled.
Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by
the turning on of the icon on the instrument
panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint
systems. Before proceeding, contact an
authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when the
ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on
when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the
restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or
pretensioners may not deploy in the event of
an accident or, in a lower number of cases,
they could deploy erroneously. Before
proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to
have the system checked immediately.
CAUTION!
If, turning the ignition device to ON, the
warning light does not turn on or if it turns
on steadily or flashing when traveling (on
some versions together with the message on
the display), contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.

STARTING AND OPERATING
90
Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential driving mode, bring
the gear selector back in position DRIVE (D)
("automatic" driving mode).
NOTE:
To select the correct gear for maximum
deceleration (engine brake), keep the gear
paddle pulled (–): the transmission goes to an
operating mode in which the vehicle can slow
down easily.
The vehicle will keep the gear selected by the
driver until the safety conditions allow it.
This means, for example, that the system will
try to prevent the engine from switching off,
automatically downshifting if the engine speed
is too low.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIMP HOME
M
ODE
Transmission function is monitored electronically
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays in
FOURTH gear, regardless of the selected gear. Positions PARK (P), REVERSE (R) and NEUTRAL
(N) still work.
The symbol might light up in the instrument
cluster.
Temporary failure
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Push and hold the ignition until the engine turns off.
4. Wait for about 10 seconds, then restart the engine.
5. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmis -
sion will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom -
mend that you visit an authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. An authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could reoccur. If the transmission
cannot be reset, service is required at an autho -
rized dealer.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
(BTSI) S
YSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI that holds
the gear selector in PARK (P) unless the brakes
are applied.
This system prevents you from moving the gear
selector from position PARK (P) unless the brakes
are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK (P), the
ignition must be cycled to the ON/RUN position
(engine running or not) and the brake pedal must
be pressed.
Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing the vehicle,
conveyor vehicle washing systems), inhibit the
automatic activation of PARK (P) mode when
stopping the engine. To do so, follow the
directions below:
1. Bring the vehicle to a standstill.
2. Place the transmission in the NEUTRAL (N)
position.
3. Push the ignition button for at least three seconds.
The automatic activation of PARK (P) when the
engine is stopped can also be deactivated on the
Information and Entertainment system by
selecting the following functions on the main
menu: "Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking
on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could
lose their grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING
94
“RACE” Mode
Activation
“RACE” Mode is activated by rotating the selector
to the “RACE” position. The instrument cluster
display will light up in yellow.RACE Mode
Engine and transmission: adoption of sports
mapping.
The “Performance” screen displays parameters
related to vehicle stability. The graphs illustrate
the trend of the longitudinal/lateral accelerations
(G-meter information), considering gravity
acceleration as a reference unit. The screen displays the lateral and longitudinal
acceleration peaks.
RACE Mode Performance Display
NOTE:
If the brake system overheats, this is communi -
cated by the Information and Entertainment
system. In this case, allow the system to cool for
a few minutes by driving the vehicle normally
without operating the brakes.
Driving Mode Deactivation
To deactivate any driving mode, simply move the
selector to any other mode.
NOTE:
The next time that the engine is started the
vehicle will be in “Natural” mode regardless of
which mode was selected before the engine
was stopped.
ALFA ACTIVE SUSPENSION
(AAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle's electronic suspension management
system is aimed at optimizing the vehicle's
performance.
The system continuously monitors the damping
of the suspensions through the actuator installed
on each shock absorber. This way, the calibration
of the shock absorbers can be adjusted to the
conditions of the road surface and to the dynamic
conditions of the vehicle, improving its comfort
and road holding.
The driver can choose, even while driving (only in
“Dynamic” mode), between two types of
suspension calibration: a sportier or a more
comfortable one.
By pushing the button, the system changes the
shock absorber calibration.
Alfa Active Suspension Button
In case of a system failure, the symbol and a
dedicated message will be shown on the
instrument cluster display.
WARNING!
Only activate this mode at the track.
In “RACE”, the sensitivity of the accelerator
pedal increases considerably. Consequently,
driving is less fluid and comfortable. The
driver must ensure full control of the vehicle
at all times to avoid a collision.

(Continued)
Activating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The minimum set speed for the ACC system is
19 mph (30 km/h) and the maximum is 110 mph
(180 km/h).
The system cannot be activated:
When pressing the brake pedal.
When the brakes are overheated.
When the Electric Park Brake has been
operated.
When either PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL is
engaged.
When the engine RPM is above a maximum
threshold.
When the vehicle speed is not within the
operational speed range.
When the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (or
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) or other stability
control systems) are operating or have just
operated.
When the ESC system is off.
When the Forward Collision Warning system (if
equipped) is braking automatically.
In the event of a system failure.
When the engine is off.
In case of obstruction of the radar sensor (in
this case the bumper area where it is located
must be cleaned).
If the system is set, the conditions described
above also cause a cancellation or deactivation
of the system. These situations may vary
according to the conditions.
NOTE:
The system will not be deactivated when speeds
higher than those set are reached by pressing the
accelerator pedal above 110 mph (180 km/h). In
these situations, the system may not work
correctly and it is recommended to deactivate it.
To Activate/Deactivate
The system has four operating states:
Enabled (speed not set)
Activated (speed set)
Paused
Deactivated
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute for
active driver involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead and,
most importantly, brake operation to ensure
safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is
always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• May react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle) at speeds between 2 mph and 35 mph (4 km/h and
60 km/h).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can res ult in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a vehicle ahead and holdthe vehicle for approximately twominutes in the stop position. If thevehicle ahead does not start movingwithin two minutes, the parking brakewill be activated and the ACC system will be canceled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,
sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction
zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway
off-ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
WARNING!
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 101
Page 105 of 256

103
(Continued)
When you push the RES/SET button to reduce
the speed, the braking system intervenes
automatically if the engine brake does not slow
the vehicle down sufficiently to reach the set
speed. The device holds the set speed uphill
and downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight inclines.
The transmission could shift to a lower gear
when driving downhill, or when accelerating.
This is normal and necessary to maintain the
set speed.
The system will disable while driving if the
brakes overheat.
To Resume
Once the system has been canceled but not
deactivated, to resume a previously set speed,
simply push the RES/SET switch upward and
remove your foot from the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored speed.
Setting The Distance Between Vehicles
The distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead may be set to one bar (short), two
bars (medium), three bars (long), or four bars
(maximum).Distance Icons
The distances from the vehicle ahead are propor -
tional to speed.
The interval of time with relation to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies from one
second (for the short distance one-bar setting) to
two seconds (for the maximum distance four-bar
setting).
The set distance is shown on the display by a
dedicated icon.
The setting is four bars (maximum) the first time
the system is used. After the distance has been
modified by the driver, the new distance will be
stored even if the system is deactivated and
reactivated.
To Decrease The Distance
Push and release the distance button to decrease
the distance setting. The distance setting
decreases by one bar (shorter) every time the
button is pushed. Distance Button
The set speed is held if there are no vehicles
ahead. Once the shortest distance has been
selected, the next push of the button will set the
maximum distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the same lane,
the vehicle icon on the display illuminates from
grey to white. The system automatically adjusts
the vehicle’s speed to keep the set distance,
independently of the set speed.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
higher than the set speed.
The vehicle ahead leaves the lane or the
detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control
system sensor.
The distance setting is changed.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system is
deactivated/paused.
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if
traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming a
set speed that is too high or too low for
prevailing traffic and road conditions could
cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate
too sharply for safe operation. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
WARNING!
The maximum braking applied by the system
is limited. The driver may apply the brakes in
all cases if needed.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 103
Page 107 of 256

105
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a
vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may
not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.
The offset vehicle may move in and out of the line
of travel, which can cause your vehicle to brake or
accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the
system may increase or decrease the vehicle
speed for stability, with no vehicle ahead
detected. Once the vehicle is out of the curve, the
system will resume your original set speed. This is
a part of normal ACC system functionality.
NOTE:
On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.
Using ACC On Hills
ACC performance may be limited when driving on
hills. ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane
depending on the speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions, and the steepness of the hill.
Lane Changing
ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely
in the lane in which you are traveling. In the
following lane changing example, ACC has not yet
detected the vehicle changing lanes and it may
not detect the vehicle until it's too late for the ACC
system to take action. ACC may not detect a
vehicle until it is completely in the lane. There
may not be sufficient distance to the
lane-changing vehicle. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.Lane Change
Narrow Vehicles
Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer
edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not
detected until they have moved fully into the lane.
There may not be sufficient distance to the
vehicle ahead.
Narrow Vehicles Stationary Objects And Vehicles
The ACC system can detect stationary vehicles
when the vehicle is traveling at speeds between
2 mph and 35 mph (4 km/h and 60 km/h). The
driver should always be attentive and be ready to
press the brakes if necessary.
ACC does not react to stationary objects or
vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in
situations where the vehicle you are following
exits your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped
in your lane. It will consider this stopped vehicle a
stationary object as it did not previously detect
movement from it. Always be attentive and ready
to apply the brakes if necessary.
Objects And Vehicles Moving In Opposite Or
Crosswise Direction
The system cannot detect the presence of objects
or vehicles traveling in opposite or crosswise
directions and consequently will not activate.

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the
rear, and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper
and a detected obstacle when backing up or
moving forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
The vehicle brakes may be automatically applied
and released when performing a reverse parking
maneuver if the system detects a possible
collision with an obstacle.
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and the
system is on, the front and rear sensors are
activated. If the vehicle moves from REVERSE to
a forward gear, the rear sensors are deactivated,
while the front sensors remain active until the
speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.
NOTE:
In certain operating conditions, the system could
start detecting an obstacle only after the vehicle
has moved slightly (a few inches).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
The ParkSense sensors located in the rear
fascia/bumper and (if equipped) in the front
fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field
of view. These sensors detect the presence of any
obstacles and warn the driver through an
acoustic signal and visual indications, which will
be displayed on the instrument cluster display.Front Sensor Locations
Rear Sensor Locations
PARKSENSE DISPLAY
The driver can select the type of warning they
would like to be displayed through the radio
system. To access the function on the main
menu, select in the following order:
1. Driver Assistance
2. ParkSense
3. Mode
4. Sound and Display
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the ParkSense system. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for the safety
of your surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense system is only a parking aid
and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or
below the sensors will not be detected when
they are in close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
the ParkSense system in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It
is recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using the ParkSense
system.
