ON CONSTANTLY: Low engine oil pressure (red)
FLASHING: Exhausted engine oil
(for versions/markets, where provided - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but it should go out as soon as the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on constantly along with a message on the
display (for versions/markets where provided) when the system
detects that engine oil pressure is low.
v
If the warning light
v
turns on when the car is
travelling (on some versions, together with the
message on the display), stop the car immediate-
ly and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
2. Exhausted engine oil
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on flashing and a specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following ways, depending on the
versions:
❍
for 1 minute every two hours;
❍
for three minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals
of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the
warning light will continue to flash in the same ways as described
above, until the oil is changed. A specific message will appear on
the display (for versions/markets where provided) in addition to
the warning light.
Flashing of the warning light is not a fault but indicates that the
oil needs to be changed as a consequence of normal use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the following circum-
stances:
❍
mainly urban use of the car , requiring more frequent regen-
eration of the DPF;
❍
use of the car for short drives, in which the engine does not
have time to reach its regular operating temperature
❍
repeated interruptions to the regeneration process signalled by
the DPF warning light coming on.
Exhausted engine oil should be replaced as soon
as possible after the warning light comes on, and
never more than 500 km after it first comes on.
Failure to comply with the instructions above may result
in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the war-
ranty. Remember that the operation of this warning light
is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. There-
fore, do not simply top up when the light starts flashing.

Hot engine coolant (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is over-
heated. A specific message will be shown on the display.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❍
when driving normally: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. If it is not, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with coolant
and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks.
Also visually check for leaks. If the warning light comes on again
at the next engine start-up, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices.
❍
if the car is used under demanding conditions (e.g. towing trail-
ers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine run-
ning and slightly accelerated to assist better coolant circulation.
Then switch the engine off. Check correct fluid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding journeys, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes be-
fore switching it off.
u
Door open (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) comes
on when one or more doors or the boot are not perfectly
closed. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and
the car moving. On some versions, the warning light (or symbol
on the display) also lights up when the bonnet is not perfectly
closed.
´
EOBD/injection system fault (amber)
Under normal conditions, the warning light comes on
when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but should
go off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving, that
means that the injection system is not working properly; in partic-
ular, if the warning light comes on constantly, this indicates a mal-
function in the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveabil-
ity and high fuel consumption.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, you can continue travelling at moderate
speed without demanding excessive effort from the engine. Pro-
longed use of the car with the warning light on may cause dam-
age. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears, but the in-
dication is stored in the system.

DPF (particulate trap) cleaning in
progress (diesel versions with DPF
only) (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
turns on but should go off after a few seconds. The warning light
stays on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regenera-
tion, but only when driving conditions require notification to the dri-
ver. The warning light will go off if the car stays in motion until
regeneration has been completed.
The process normally takes about 15 minutes. Optimal conditions
for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h
with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
Operation of this warning light does not indicate a fault and the car
does not need to be taken to a workshop. A specific message will
appear on the display when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).

Speed limit exceeded (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) comes on when the speed exceeds 120 km/h.
When the car exceeds the speed limit set in the setup Menu (e.g.
120 km/h), on some versions a message and a symbol are shown
in the display and an acoustic signal is activated.
X
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and the laws in force. The
engine may be turned off while the DPF light is on;
however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process
may result in premature degradation of the engine oil.
For this reason, it is always advisable to wait for the light
to go off before turning off the engine, following the in-
structions appearing above. It is not a good idea to com-
plete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

SYMBOLS
Some components of the car have coloured labels whose sym-
bols indicate precautions to be observed when using this compo-
nent. Under the bonnet there is also a label that summarises all
the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which increases pro-
tection against attempted thefts of the car. It is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the sig-
nal emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition de-
vice. This signal is the ‘password’ which changes at each ignition
and which the control unit uses to recognise the key and enable
ignition.
OPERATION
The Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowl-
edgement code to the engine management control unit to deacti-
vate the inhibitor each time the car is started by turning the igni-
tion key to MAR.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management
control unit. Warning light
Y
lights up on the instrument panel
if the code is not correctly recognised during ignition.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still
locked, try again with the other keys that come with the car. If you
are still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.

You can adjust one function automatically and have the automat-
ic system control all the others. The amount of air introduced into
the passenger compartment is not affected by vehicle speed; it is
electronically controlled by a fan. The air temperature is always au-
tomatically controlled according to the temperature shown on the
display (except for when the system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is not running).
The system can manually programme and adjuste:
❍
air temperature on driver’s/passenger’s side;
❍
fan speed (continuous variation);
❍
air distribution to 7 positions;
❍
climate control compressor enabled;
❍
fast demisting/defrosting function;
❍
air recirculation;
❍
heated rear windscreen;
❍
turning the system off.
DESCRIPTION
The automatic dual zone climate control system regulates the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment in two areas. The system
keeps the comfort in the passenger compartment constant and
compensates for variable external conditions.
NOTE The reference temperature is 22°C for optimal comfort man-
agement.
The automatically controlled parameters and functions are:
❍
air temperature delivered to driver/front passenger vents;
❍
air distribution to driver/front passenger vents;
❍
fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❍
switching the compressor fan on (for cooling/dehumidifying
the air);
❍
air recirculation.
All these functions can be manually adjusted by operating the sys-
tem and selecting one or more functions and modifying their pa-
rameters. Automatic control of the manually changed functions will
be suspended: the system will only override your settings for safe-
ty reasons.
Manual selections will always have higher priority over automatic
settings and will be stored until the AUTO button is pressed, except
for the cases in which the system will intervene for particular, safe-
ty-related reasons.
The climate control system uses an average ra
ating temperature sensor installed under a cov
below the inner rearview mirror. To ensure op
mal operation of the climate control system, do no
struct the detection cone of this sensor with any ob

area of the passenger compartment. The set temperatures a
shown on the display.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature between
two zones.
Turn L knob to go back to the separate management of air t
peratures in the two zones.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or anti-clockwise to engage r
tively HI (maximum heating) or LO (maximum cooling). T
activate these functions, rotate the temperature knob to the
sired temperature.
SWITCHING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be turned on in different ways: you are recom-
mended to press the AUTO button and turn the knobs to set the re-
quired temperatures.
In this way the system operates completely automatically to ad-
just the temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. It also manages the air recircu-
lation system and the enablement of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
During fully automatic system operation, you can change at any
time the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed by using
the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
its settings to adjust to the new requirements.
During fully automatic operation (AUTO), the word AUTO will dis-
appear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
In this way the climate control system will continue to automati-
cally manage all functions except for those that have been manu-
ally adjusted. There is only one fan speed in all the areas of the
passenger compartment.

st speed.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The heater only works if the outside temperature and engine co
temperature are low.
The heater will not activate if the battery voltage is too low.
START&STOP
Automatic climate control system
The automatic climate control system manages the Start&Stop
function (engine off when speed is zero) to ensure adequate com-
fort inside the passenger compartment.
Specifically, the Start&Stop function is turned off when the weath-
er is particularly hot or cold to guarantee an adequate level of com-
fort inside the passenger compartment; therefore, the engine will
not be stopped during these transient conditions, even if the speed
is zero.
When the Start&Stop is on and the engine is off at zero speed,
the climate control system will turn the engine back on if the in-
side temperature conditions should rapidly deteriorate (or if the
user asks for maximum cooling – LO – or quick demisting –
MAX-DEF).
With the Start&Stop function on and engine off at zero speed,
air flow is reduced to the minimum to main comfort conditions in-
side the passenger compartment as long as possible when the sys-
tem is in AUTO mod (LED N on).
The climate control system attempts to manage the discomfort
caused by the engine stopping (compressor and engine coolant
pump off) but operation of the climate control system can be priv-
ileged by turning the Start&Stop off by pressing the button on
the dashboard.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommen-
ded to limit the use of the Start&Stop function to prevent the com-
pressor from continuously switching on and off, with following fa-
st window misting and accumulation of humidity with unpleasant
smells in the passenger compartment.

button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the
windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard
concerning the safety of passengers leaning out of
the passenger compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be danger-
ous. Before and during operation, always check that
no passenger is at risk of being injured directly by
the moving window or by objects getting caught in or dragged
by the window. When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition device to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the electric windows. This is a danger to
the people still on board.
Anti-pinch device
The car is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device for the upwards
motion of the windows.
The windows are fitted with an anti-pinch safety system that de-
tects the presence of an obstacle when they are closing and cuts
in by stopping the window and reversing it according to the posi-
tion of the window. This device is also useful when the windows
are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and automat-
ic operation of the electric windows. Following the intervention of
the anti-pinch system, the window travel is immediately interrupt-
ed and subsequently reversed until the lower end of travel is
reached. The window cannot be operated in any way during this
time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5 consecutive
times within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation
of the window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a sec-
ond; the button is released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
Open the concerned window to restore correct operation of the sys-
tem.

If the ABS intervenes, it means you have almost
reached the limit of grip between the tyres and the
road surface: slow down to make sure you can use
the available grip.
ABS SYSTEM
ABS is an integral part of the braking system, which prevents the
wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip
and gives the best control when performing emergency braking un-
der difficult road conditions.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution) completes
the system, allowing the brake force to be distributed between the
front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bed-
ding-in period of about 500 km is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS gets the most out of the available grip,
but it cannot increase it; you must therefore always
take care when driving on skiddy roads. Do not
take any unnecessary risks.
When the ABS intervenes and you notice the brake
pedal pulsating, do not be afraid to keep the ped-
al pushed down. This will help you to stop in the
shortest distance possible, depending on the road condi-
tions.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisie
means that the speed should be altered to suit the type of road
face.

VDC SYSTEM
(Vehicle Dynamics Control)
This is an electronic system that controls vehicle stability in the
event of tyre grip loss, helping maintain directional control. The sys-
tem is capable of recognising potentially dangerous situations in
terms of the stability and intervenes automatically on the brakes
in a differentiated manner for the four wheels in order to provide
a stabilizing torque.
The VDC, in turn, includes the following systems:
❍
Hill Holder

ASR
❍
Brake Assist
❍
MSR

SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by warning light

blinking on the instrument
panel to inform the driver that stability and grip conditions are
critical.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The VDC system switches on automatically each time the engine
is started and cannot be switched off.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the VDC system and
to facilitate starting on slopes.
It is activated automatically in the following instance
❍

ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the VDC system. It intervenes automatical-
ly if one or both of the drive wheels is slipping, there is a loss in
grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning), acceleration on slippery, snow-
covered or icy surfaces, etc.
Depending on how slippery the road is, two different control sys-
tems are activated:
❍
if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR intervenes
reducing the power transmitted by the engine;
❍
if the slipping only involves one of the drive wheels, the ASR
intervenes automatically braking the wheel that is slipping.
In order for the ESP and ASR systems to operate
correctly, it is essential that the tyres are of the
same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect con-
dition and, above all, of the specified type, brand and size.
If the space saver wheel is used, the VDC system
keeps operating. Be aware however that the space
saver wheel, being smaller than the original wheel,
provides less grip.
The performance of the VDC and ASR systems
should not encourage the driver to take unneces-
sary risks. Your driving style should always take
road conditions, visibility and traffic into account. The dri-
ver is always ultimately responsible for road safety.

BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises emergency
braking (on the basis of the brake pedal operating speed) and
speeding up the response of the braking system. The Brake
Assist function is deactivated in the event of VDC system fault.
MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that intervenes, if there
is a sudden change to a lower gear, restoring torque to the engine,
thereby preventing excessive drive at the drive wheels which, es-
pecially in poor grip conditions, could lead to a loss in stability.
CBC SYSTEM (Cornering Braking Control)
This system improves the distribution of the braking pressure at the
four wheels (to fully exploit the grip available on the ground) when
braking round bends when the ABS intervenes. This improves stop-
ping distances and above all vehicle stability when cornering.

EOBD SYSTEM
(European On Board Diagnosis)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The aim of the EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) system is to:
❍
to monitor system efficiency;
❍
indicate an increase in emissions;
❍
to warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.
The car also has a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced
with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control units together with a series
of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis. This
check can also be carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to check the system com-
pletely, Alfa Romeo Authorized Services are obliged to run tests
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.
DUAL PINION ACTIVE STEERING
This only operates with the key turned to MAR and the engine start-
ed. The steering allows the force required at the steering wheel
to be adjusted to suit driving conditions. The different power as-
sistance modes can be selected via the d,n,a positions of the"Alfa
DNA System" lever (see paragraph entitled "Alfa DNA System").
IMPORTANT The steering system will need to be initialised after
disconnecting the battery. A warning light will come on to indicate
this. Simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end to the
other or simply drive in a straight line for a few hundred metres.
Under no circumstances should aftermarket op-
erations be carried out involving steering system
or steering column modifications (e.g. installation
of anti-theft device). This could negatively affect perfor-
mance and safety, invalidate the warranty, cause serious
safety problems and also result in non-compliance of the
car with type-approval requirements.

low the instructions for use provided by the mobile phone manu-
facturer.
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper fig. 88 and
their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent beep-
ing, of the presence of obstacles behind the car.
TURNING THE SENSORS ON
The sensors are turned on when reverse gear is engaged. As the
distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the beeping
becomes more frequent.

Front seats (warning light no. 1 = driver and
no. 5 = passenger)
Driver
If the driver is the only occupant and the seat belt is not fastened,
when 20 km/h is exceeded or when travelling at a speed from 10
to 20 km/h for longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal sequence
will be started (front seats) consisting of a tone for 6 seconds fol-
lowed by a 90 second beep. The warning light will blink. Once the
cycle is complete, the warning lights stay on with a fixed light un-
til the car is turned off. The acoustic signal will be interrupted im-
mediately when the driver’s seat belt is fastened and the warning
light will turn green.
If the seat belt is again unfastened when the car is in motion, the
acoustic signal and the red warning light blinking resume as de-
scribed previously.
Passenger
A similar solution applies for the front passenger, with the differ-
ence that the warning light turns green and the signal is interrupted
also when the passenger leaves the car.
If both front seat belts are unfastened with the car in motion a few
seconds apart, the acoustic signal will refer to the most recent event
while the two warning lights will issue a visual signal independently.
Rear seats (warning light no. 2, no. 3
and no. 4)
The signalling cycle is run only when any rear seat belt is unfas-
tened (blinking red). In this condition, the warning light referred
to the seat belt which has been unfastened will start blinking (red)
for approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic signal will also sound.
The visual signal (blinking red) will start and end independently for
each warning light if several seat belts are unfastened. The visual
signal will turn green after the corresponding seat has been fas-
tened.
The rear seat warning lights will go out, regardless of the state of
the belt (red or green) approximately 30 seconds after the last sig-
nal.
WARNINGS
All warning lights will remain off if all the seat belts (front and rear)
are already fastened when the key it turned to MAR.
All the warning lights will come on when at least one belt changes
from fastened to unfastened status or vice versa.

The seat belt must not be twisted. The upper part must cross the
shoulder and the chest diagonally. The lower part must adhere to
the hips fig. 97, not to the abdomen. Do not use devices (clips,
etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.
fig. 97 A0K0012m
For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it and make sure the seat
belt fits closely across your chest and hips. Always
fasten the seat belts on both the front and the rear seats.
Travelling without seat belts will increase the risk of severe
injury and even death in the event of an accident.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
Respect and ensure that all the other occupants of the car respect
the local laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before starting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: the risk of in-
jury in the event of an accident is reduced for them and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very
low down so that it passes under the abdomen fig. 96.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with multistage front air bags (“Smart bag”)
for driver and passenger.
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM
(MULTISTAGE FRONT AIR BAGS)
The front driver/passenger air bags are designed to protect occu-
pants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity,
by placing the bag between the occupant and the steering wheel
or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in front crash-
es and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side col-
lisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
The air bag do not replace, but rather complement the use of seat
belts, which should always be worn. In the event of an impact,
someone not wearing a seat belt could move forward and come
into contact with a bag which is still in the opening phase. The pro-
tection offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.
Front air bags may not be activated in the following situations:
❍
front collisions against highly deformable objects not affect-
ing the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❍
car penetration under other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
trucks or guard rails);
in these instances they could not provide any additional protec-
tion compared with seat belts, so their deployment would not be
useful. In these cases, non-deployment of the airbag does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 106
This is located in a dedicated compartment in the centre of the steer-
ing wheel.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steer-
ing wheel, passenger side air bag cover or upper
side upholstery. Do not place objects on the pas-
senger side dashboard because these could interfere with
the correct opening of the air bag and cause severe injury
to occupants.
fig. 106 A0K0080m
Always drive with your hands on the steering wheel
rim so that the air bag can inflate freely if need-
ed. Do not drive with your body bent forward.
Keep your back straight against the backrest.

SIDE AIR BAGS
(SIDE BAG - WINDOW BAG)
The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and passenger for
protecting the chest, and window bags for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags protect car occupants from side crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the in-
ternal parts of the side structure of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (front colli-
sions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunction.
fig. 108 A0K0081m fig. 109 A0K0035m
FRONT SIDE BAGS fig. 108
These are comprised of two types of bags located in the front
back/rests, which protect the chest and pelvis area of passen-
gers in the event of a side impact of medium-high severity.
HEAD PROTECTION SIDE AIR BAGS
(WINDOW BAGS) fig. 109
It is formed by two "curtain" window bags are located behind the
side roof upholstery and are covered by special trimming.
They were designed to protect the head of front and rear passen-
gers in case of side collisions, thanks to the wide cushion inflation
surface.
The air bags are not deployed in the event of impact of low sever-
ity (for which the retaining action of the seat belts is sufficient).
It is therefore always necessary to wear seat belts.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides best protection
if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allow-
ing correct window bag deployment.

WARNINGS
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (wash by
hand or at automatic seat washing stations).
The front and/or side air bags may activate in the event of sharp
impacts to the underbody of the car (e.g. impact with steps, pave-
ments, potholes or road bumps etc.).
A small amount of dust will be released when the airbags are de-
ployed. This is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Dust may
irritate your skin and eyes: in this case, wash with mild soap and
water.
All operations on air bags (inspections, repairs and replacement)
must be carried out by Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
If the car is to be scrapped, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices to have the air bags deactivated.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed according to different log-
ics on the basis of the type of collision. Failure to deploy of one
or more of these devices does not therefore indicate a system fault.
Do not hook rigid objects to the clothes hangers or
support handles.
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the door,
windows or on the window bag area to avoid in-
juries during inflation.
Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the
window.

If the warning light
¬
does not turn on when the key
is turned to MAR, or if it stays on when travelling (to-
gether with the message on the display on some ver-
sions), there could be a failure in the restraint systems. If
this is the case, the air bags or pretensioners may not be de-
ployed in the event of an accident or, less likely, they may
be deployed accidentally. Do not drive the car and contact
a Alfa Romeo Authorised Service Provider to have the sys-
tem checked immediately.
The expiry dates of the pyrotechnic charge and
clock contact are shown in the plate installed in-
side the glove compartment. Go to an Alfa Romeo
Authorised Service Provider when the time to have them
replaced approaches.
Do not travel with objects on your lap, in front of
your chest, or between your lips (e.g. pipes, pen-
cils, etc.): you may be seriously injured in the event
of a crash with air bag deployment.
If someone tries to steal or damage your car, and
in the event of floods, have the air bag system
checked by an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service
Provider.
With the ignition key inserted and turned to MAR,
the air bags can be deployed also with the car at
a standstill, if it is hit by another vehicle even if the
engine is off. For this reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not moving. Remember
that no safety device (airbag or pretensioner) will be de-
ployed in a crash if the key is inserted and turned to the
STOP position. Failure to deploy in such cases must not
be considered a sign of malfunction.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
“
warning light turns on (front airbag on passenger’s
side enabled) and will blinks for a few seconds as
a reminder that the passenger airbag will be deployed
in the event of a crash and then go off.
The front air bags are deployed in the event of
more severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two thresholds, it
is normal for only the pretensioners to be activated.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
The car must be provided with a type-approved tow hook and ad-
equate electric system to tow caravans or trailers. Installation must
be carried out by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors in accor-
dance with the highway code of the country in which you are trav-
elling.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb,
braking distances increase and overtaking takes longer depending
on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly
using the brake.
The weight of the trailer reduces the load capacity of the car by the
same amount. Consider the weight at full load, including acces-
sories and luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the maximum
towable weight (shown in the registration document).
Respect the speed limits specific to each country for vehicles tow-
ing trailers. In any event do not exceed 100 km/h.
INSTALLING A TOW HOOK
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to install a tow hook.
The ABS with which the car is equipped will not con-
trol the braking system of the trailer. Take extra
care when travelling on slippery roads.
Never modify the braking system of the car to con-
trol the trailer brake. The trailer braking system
must be fully independent from the hydraulic sys-
tem of the car.
