IMPORTANT

This Owner Handbook describes all vehicle versions. Optional contents, equipment meant for specific Markets or particular versions are not identified as such in the text: you need to consider only the information related to the version you own. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided).

All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. Alfa Romeo S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.

For further information, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital components of the supply system.

For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the electric parking brake is engaged and that the transmission is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the brake pedal and then press the ignition device button.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

“CYBERSECURITY” DEVICES

The car is equipped with security devices developed according to the technological standards currently applied in the automotive industry to protect the onboard electronic systems from hacking attempts. The purpose of these security devices is to minimise the risk of cyber-attacks or the installation of viruses or malware which could compromise the performance of the car and/or allow stealing of personal data of the buyers and/or users and/or unauthorised dissemination of said information.

The car's purchaser must not remove, modify or tamper with these anti-hacking security devices. The Manufacturer will therefore not be liable for negative consequences and/or damage to the vehicle and/or to the buyer and/or to third parties deriving from the removal, modification or alteration of the security devices performed by the car's purchaser and/or user.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.

The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook. Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for

getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle. There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could

cause accidents or injuries. Therefore, all WARNINGSand PRECAUTIONS must always be followed carefully. WARNINGSand PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

SYMBOLS

Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. See below for a brief description of each symbol summarising the contents herein. Always take great care to all warnings herein.

once with the brake pedal pressed. NOTE With the starter switch ON, if

30 minutes pass with P (Park) mode engaged and the engine stopped, the starter switch will automatically move to the STOP position.

NOTE With the engine running, it is possible to go away from the car taking the electronic key with you. The engine will still be running. The vehicle will indicate the absence of the key on board when the door is closed.

For more information on the engine start-up, see the description in the "Starting the engine" paragraph, in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

IMPORTANT If the battery was disconnected, do not start the engine immediately after reconnecting the terminals, but press the start button, without operating the pedals, to turn on the instrument panel and then start the engine. The

symbol on the instrument panel will remain on, indicating that the steering must be initialised. To do this, turn the steering wheel from one end to the other and bring it back to the centre position within 30 seconds from starting the engine. If any red warning lights on the instrument panel remain lit, stop the

engine, wait for at least 5 seconds and repeat the starting procedure described above.

STARTING WITH FLATKEY BATTERY

If the remote control battery is flat, proceed as follows to start the vehicle:

lift the front armrest; lay the key over the profile at the

bottom of the compartment.

STEERING LOCK

(where provided)

Activation

The steering lock is engaged when the driver door is opened with the ignition device button at STOP.

Deactivation

The steering lock disengages when the ignition device is pressed and the electronic key is recognised.

WARNING

1) Always take the key with you when you

leave your vehicle to prevent someone from accidentally operating the controls. Remember to engage the electric parking brake. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

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

KNOWING YOUR CAR

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, the

icon 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.

ALARM

PASSIVE ENTRY

(where provided)

The Passive Entry system can identify the presence of an electronic key near the doors and the tailgate.

The system enables the doors (or the tailgate) to be locked/unlocked without pressing any buttons on the electronic key.

The key is detected only after the system recognizes the presence of a hand in one of the front handles. If the detected key is valid, the doors and the tailgate are unlocked (the elements that open depend on the Connect system settings).

Where the function is provided, grasping

the handle of the driver's door unlocks the driver's door only, or all the doors, depending on the mode set in the Connect system.

Door locking

To lock the doors, proceed as follows:

make sure that you have the electronic key and are close to the driver or passenger side door handle;

press the "door lock" button fig. 7 on the handle: this will lock all the doors and the tailgate. Door locking will activate the alarm as well (where provided).

04056S0003EM

IMPORTANT After pressing the "door locking" button, you need to wait two seconds before the doors can be unlocked again using the door handle. It is therefore possible to check whether the vehicle is locked correctly by pulling the door handle within 2 seconds. The doors will not be unlocked again.

The car doors and tailgate can be locked in any case by pressing the

button on the electronic key or on the car’s inner door panel.

Driver side door emergency opening

If the electronic key does not work, e.g. because its battery is flat or the vehicle battery is flat, the emergency metal insert inside the key can anyway be used to operate the lock, unlocking the driver side door.

To extract the metal insert, proceed as follows:

Pressing in the points indicated in fig. 8 extract the cover pulling downwards;

remove the key insert from its housing fig. 9;

Do not simultaneously push the lock/unlock door button fig. 7 and pull the handle, (see fig. 10 ).

04056S0004EM

POWER LOCK

(where provided)

This safety device inhibits the operation of the interior door handles and the door locking/unlocking button.

It thereby prevents the opening of the doors from inside the passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).

We recommend that you activate the device each time you park your vehicle.

Activating the device

The device is enabled on all the doors by pressing the

button on the key twice

quickly. The direction indicators flash 3 times to

let you know that the device is active. If one or more of the doors are not closed

correctly, the device will not activate, thus preventing a person from getting stuck inside the passenger compartment by entering the vehicle through, and then closing, the open door.

Deactivating the device

The device disengages automatically:

when the doors are unlocked (pressing

button

on the key with remote

control);

when the ignition device is set to ON.

CHILD SAFETY DEVICE

7) 8)

This system prevents the rear doors from being opened from the inside.

This device fig. 11 can be engaged only with the doors open:

04056S0007EM

position : device engaged (door

locked);

position : device not engaged (door

may be opened from the inside). The device remains engaged even if the

doors are electrically unlocked.

IMPORTANT The rear doors cannot be opened from the inside when the child safety device is engaged.

UNLOCKINGTHE DOORS WITH A FLAT BATTERY

Proceed as follows to unlock the doors if the car battery is flat.

Rear doors and passenger door

Proceed as follows:

insert the metal insert of the electronic key in the release device housing fig. 12;

KNOWING YOUR CAR

turn the key clockwise for the right door locks or anticlockwise for the left door locks;

remove the key from the housing. Proceed in one of the following ways to

realign the door lock device (only when the battery charge has been restored):

04056S0008EM

press the button on the electronic

key;

press the button on the door panel; open by inserting the key insert in the

driver's door lock;

operate the internal door handle.

IMPORTANT For the rear doors, if the child lock device was engaged and the previously described locking procedure carried out, operating the internal handle will not open the door but will only realign the lock release device. To open the door, the outside handle must be used. The door central locking/unlocking buttons are not deactivated when the emergency lock is engaged.

WARNING

6) Once the Power Lock system is engaged,

it is impossible to open the doors from inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the car, please therefore check that there is no-one left inside.

7) NEVER leave children unattended inside the car, let alone leave the car with the doors unlocked in a place that children can access easily. Children may seriously, or even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure that children do not inadvertently operate the electric parking brake, the brake pedal or the transmission lever.

8) Always use this device when carrying children. After engaging the child lock on both rear doors, check for effective engagement by trying to open a door with the internal handle.

IMPORTANT

2) Make sure to take the key with you once a

door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent locking the same key inside the vehicle. If the key has been locked in, it can only be recovered using the second provided key.

3) The operation of the recognition system depends on various factors, such as, for example, any electromagnetic wave interference from external sources (e.g. mobile phones), the charge of the battery in the electronic key and the presence of metal objects near the key or the car. In these cases it is still possible to unlock the doors by using the metal insert in the electronic key (see description on the following pages).

AUTOFUNCTION (Dusk sensor)

This is implemented by an infrared LED sensor on the windscreen that works in conjunction with the rain sensor. It is able to detect variations in the outside light level based on the light sensitivity set through the Connect system.

The dusk sensor sensitivity can be adjusted according to 3 levels: level 1=minimum sensitivity, level 2=average sensitivity, level 3=maximum sensitivity.

The higher the sensitivity set, the lesser is the external light variation needed to switch the lights on (e.g. with a setting on level 3 at sunset the headlights come on earlier than levels 1 and 2).
