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.

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).

STARTING AND OPERATING 165
Page 168 of 348
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) systems:
These systems are deactivated in order to ensure the
fullest sensation of sport, leaving the driver in full control
of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in unstable conditions,
the ESC reactivates automatically when the brake pedal
is pressed until the ABS intervenes, thus returning the
vehicle to stable conditions. To deactivate the ESC and
ASR systems reactivate Race mode.
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 Race mode, the sensitivity of the accelerator
pedal increases considerably. Consequently, driving is
less fluid and comfortable.
In Race mode the transmission only works in MANUAL
mode. Refer to theManual OperationinStarting and
Operatingfor further information.
Deactivation
To deactivate Race mode and return to Dynamic mode,
move the Alfa DNA system lever downwards (to letter
“A”) and keep it in this position for half a second.
The LED corresponding to Dynamic mode will light up
and the Dynamic mode activation indication will appear
on the display.

Natural Mode
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) systems:
ESC and ASR system thresholds are aimed at providing
comfort and safety in normal grip and driving condi-
tions.
Electronic Q2 system:
The system is calibrated to ensure the best driving
comfort.
Engine And Gearbox/Transmission:
Standard response shifting.
All Weather Mode
Activation
Move the Alfa DNA system lever downwards (to the
letter “A”) and hold in this position for half a second,until the corresponding LED lights up and the All
Weather mode activation indicator appears on the dis-
play.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) systems:
ESC and ASR system thresholds are aimed at ensuring
maximum safety in low-grip driving conditions. It is
advisable to select All Weather mode in the presence of
low-grip road surfaces.
Electronic Q2 System:
The system is deactivated.
Engine And Gearbox/Transmission:
Standard response shifting.

FUSES
WARNING!
•When replacing a blown fuse, always use an ap-
propriate replacement fuse with the same amp
rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse
with another fuse of higher amp rating. Never
replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any other
material. Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property dam-
age.
•Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition
is off and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
•If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an autho-
rized dealer.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air
bag system, braking system), power unit systems
(engine system, gearbox system) or steering system
blows, contact an authorized dealer.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 287
Page 315 of 348
•Short, repeated trips (less than 4-5 miles or 7-8 km) at
sub-zero temperatures
•Allowing the engine to idle for extended periods of
time
•Driving for long distances at low speeds
•Allowing the vehicle to sit for long periods of inactiv-
ity
Under any of the above circumstances, the following
checks need to be performed more frequently than indi-
cated in the Maintenance Schedule:
•Check front and rear disc brake pad condition and
wear
•Check cleanliness of tailgate locks.
•Check cleanliness and lubrication of chassis and steer-
ing linkage•Visually inspect condition of: engine, gearbox, trans-
mission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel system -
brakes) and rubber elements (gaiters - sleeves - bushes
- etc.)
•Check battery charge and battery fluid level (electro-
lyte)
•Visually inspect condition of the auxiliary drive belts
•Check and, if necessary, change engine oil and replace
oil filter
•Check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner
Using the car on track should be regarded as an excep-
tion. The car has been designed and produced for road
use.
