•Average speed
•Travel time
NOTE: “Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Trip
B Data”). “Range” and “Instantaneous consumption”
cannot be reset.
New Trip
To reset:
•Push and hold theTRIPbutton to reset the system
manually.
•When the “Trip distance” reaches 9999.9 miles or
kilometers or when the “Travel time” reaches 999.59
(999 hours and 59 minutes), the system is reset auto-
matically.
•Disconnecting/Reconnecting the battery resets the
system.NOTE:If the reset operation occurs in the presence of
the screens concerning Trip A or Trip B, only the infor-
mation associated with Trip A or Trip B functions will be
reset.
Start Of Trip Procedure

over one second to reset.
Exit Trip
To exit the Trip function, wait until all the values have
been displayed or hold theMENUbutton for longer than
one second.
Briefly push and release theMENUbutton to go back to

Values Displayed
Indications On Display
Each time a value is selected, the following information is
shown in the EVIC:
•“Trip A” or “Trip B” location(s)
•Name, value and unit of measure of the selected value
(e.g.Range 520 mi).
After a few seconds, the name of the selected value is
replaced by the corresponding icon.
Range
This indicates the distance which may be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that driving
conditions will not change. The message “----” will
appear on the display in the following cases:
140 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

•Distance less than 30 miles (or 50 km).
•The vehicle is parked for a long time with the engine
running.
NOTE:The range depends on several factors: driving
style, type of route (freeway, residential, mountain roads,
etc.), conditions of use of the car (load, tire pressure, etc.).
Trip planning must take into account the above notes.
Average Fuel Consumption
This value shows the approximate average consumption
since the last reset.
Travel Distance
This value shows the distance covered since the last reset.
Current Fuel Consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is con-
stantly updated. The message “----” will appear on the
display if the car is parked with the engine running.
Average Speed
This value shows the vehicle’s average speed as a func-
tion of the overall time elapsed since the last reset.
Travel Time
This value shows the time elapsed since the last reset.
Tire Pressure Values
This screen will display OK at each Tire Pressure Moni-
toring sensor. Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System”
in “Starting And Operating.”
RADIO SYSTEM
The radio system consists of:
•Supply cables for radio, speakers and aerial;
•Radio;
•Aerial on front bumper;

When the key is turned to the ON position, the current
transmission gear will be displayed in the instrument
cluster, along with theAUTOindicator. This indicates
the transmission is in Automatic mode.Operating Modes
The transmission has two normal operating modes (ex-
cept when the “Race” mode is selected on the DNA
switch):
MANUAL mode in which the driver must shift gears
manually (using the steering wheel mounted shift
paddles).
Automatic (AUTO) mode, in which the system shifts
between all forward gears automatically.
When the “Race” mode is selected via the DNA selector,
the only allowed transmission operating mode is
MANUAL.
MANUAL Mode
In this operating mode, the driver is responsible for
choosing the best gear to engage, depending on the car
operating conditions. The current gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Transmission Gear Selector
158 STARTING AND OPERATING

To activate/deactivate MANUAL mode, press the A/M
button on the center console when the transmission is in
any forward gear.
Use the “+” shift paddle to engage a higher gear, or the
“–” paddle to engage a lower gear.
If a requested gear shift is not allowed (typically, because
it would cause engine overspeed or lugging), an audible
signal will sound and the transmission will remain in the
existing gear.
The transmission will automatically downshift during
closed-throttle decelerations, to prevent engine lugging.
When coming to a stop, the transmission will automati-
cally select FIRST (1st) gear. The driver must manually
upshift the transmission (by tapping the + shift paddle)
as the vehicle accelerates.NOTE:To provide better comfort, the transmission will
up-shift to the next available gear if the engine speed
limit is reached. This feature is only available in NATU-
RAL and ALL WEATHER Modes.
AUTO Mode
In AUTO mode the transmission shifts gears automati-
cally depending on vehicle speed, engine RPM, and
accelerator pedal position.
AUTO is the default operating mode at startup. When in
AUTO mode,AUTOappears in the instrument cluster,
adjacent to the current gear display.
To toggle between AUTO and MANUAL modes, press
the A/M button on the center console.

STARTING AND OPERATING 159

Accelerating From A Stop
FIRST (1st) and REVERSE (R) can only be engaged (at a
stop) by pressing “1” or “R” when the brake pedal is
pressed.
To drive, press the brake pedal, and select 1 (One) or R
(Reverse) by pressing “1” or “R” using the transmission
gear selector buttons on the center console. Then release
the brake pedal and smoothly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE:When starting on a fairly steep incline, it may be
advisable to engage the parking brake.
The vehicle can only be launched (from a stop) in FIRST
(1st) or REVERSE (R). SECOND (2nd) gear (or higher)
cannot be engaged when the vehicle is stationary.
FIRST (1st) and REVERSE (R) gears can only be engaged
at vehicle speeds below 2 mph (3 km/h). At speeds
below 6 mph (10 km/h), attempts to shift from 1st to R
(or R to 1st) will only be allowed if the vehicle speeddrops below the 2 mph (3 km/h) threshold within three
seconds of the request; otherwise, the transmission will
shift to NEUTRAL (N). The driver should then repeat the
request for 1st or R once the vehicle has come to a stop.
Shift Paddles
In MANUAL mode, the steering wheel mounted shift
paddles (labeled + and -) control the transmission shift-
ing.
Tapping the (+) paddle will upshift the transmission to
the next higher gear, while tapping the (-) paddle will
downshift to the next lower gear. The current gear is
displayed in the instrument cluster. If a requested shift
would cause engine lugging or overspeed, that request
will be ignored.
In AUTO mode, tapping a shift paddle will temporarily
place the transmission in MANUAL mode, and execute
the requested upshift or downshift (if allowable). The

Race (sports driving mode [D]).
This also acts on the dynamic car control systems (engine,
gearbox/transmission, ESC system).Driving Modes
The Alfa DNA system lever will always return to the
center position after use.
The selected driving mode is indicated by the corre-
sponding LED switching in the panel and by an indica-
tion on the display.
Dynamic Mode
Activation
Move the Alfa DNA system lever upwards (to the letter
“D”) and hold in this position for half a second, until the
corresponding LED lights up and the Dynamic mode
activation indicator appears on the display.
When Dynamic mode is activated, the turbocharger
pressure and engine oil temperature screen is displayed
automatically. When released, the Alfa DNA system lever
will return to the central position.
Alfa DNA Mode Selector
164 STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:Dynamic Mode will be inhibited until the vehicle
has accumulated 155 miles (250 km).
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) systems:
The ESC and ASR system ensures more enjoyable,
sportier driving while guaranteeing the stability of the
car.
Electronic Q2 system:
The system increases vehicle stability while accelerating
on bends, improving the agility of the car.
Engine And Gearbox/Transmission:
The system adjusts the transmission shift calibration for
sportier shifting.
NOTE:In Dynamic mode, the engine response to the
accelerator pedal position increases considerably. Conse-
quently, driving is less fluid and comfortable.Deactivation
To deactivate Dynamic mode and return to Natural,
move lever downwards (to letter “A”) and keep it in this
position for half a second.
The LED corresponding to Natural mode will light up
and the Natural mode activation indication will appear
on the display.
Race Mode
Activation
Move the Alfa DNA system lever upwards (to the letter
“D”) and hold in this position for five seconds, until the
Race mode activation indicator appears on the display.
When Race mode is activated, the longitudinal/lateral
accelerometer indicator screen (G-meter information) is
displayed automatically. This considers gravitational ac-
celeration (G).
