The car is equipped with an infotelematic system designed according to the specific characteristics of the passenger compartment, with a
customised design that matches the style of dashboard.
The system is installed in an ergonomic position for the driver and passenger, and controls can be quickly located from the graphical display on
the front, making the device easy to use.
To increase protection against theft, the system has a protection system that only allows it to be used on the vehicle in which it was originally
fitted.
The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep them to hand (for example, in the glove
compartment).
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
TIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system
functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system
carefully before setting off.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic alerts
and news.
Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions
to ensure the system is fully
operational:
1)
1) 2)
❒ the display is sensitive to scratching,
liquids and detergents. The display
should not come into contact with
pointed or rigid objects which could
damage its surface. Do not press
on the display when cleaning it.
❒ prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
Important information
In the event of a fault, the system must
only be checked and repaired by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low, the
display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
If the car is stopped for a while and the
external temperature is very high, the
system may go into “thermal
protection” mode, suspending
operation until the radio temperature
returns to acceptable levels.

iPod, iTunes and iPhone are registered
trademarks of Apple Inc.
All other trademarks are the property of
their respective owners.
Apple is not responsible for the
operation of this device and of its
conformity with the safety rules and
standards.
The DAB/DAB+/DMB Digital Radio
function has been certified according to
the specifications of the "ARD" white
sticker, for Class A - Audio services.
ARD is a trademark of the Associazione
per la Radiofonia Digitale in Italia.
EXTERNAL AUDIO
SOURCES
Other electronic devices (e.g. iPod,
PDA, etc.) can be used on the car.
Some of them may cause
electromagnetic interference however.
Disconnect these devices if the system
performance worsens.
NOTE The system supports only
FAT32-formatted USB devices. The
system does not support devices with a
capacity higher than 64 GB.
ANTI-THEFT
PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the car.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret
code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show "Please enter Anti-Theft Code"
followed by the video page showing
a keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four
digits, from 1 to 9: to insert the first
number of the code press the
corresponding key on the display. Enter
the other code digits in the same way.
After entering the fourth figure, the
system begins operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays "Incorrect Code.
Please Try Again" to notify the user of
the need to enter the correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Please
wait 30 minutes": the waiting time is
displayed. Once the text has
disappeared you can start the code
entering procedure again.

SAFETY SETTINGS
You are advised to use the safety
settings to make driving as safe as
possible.
A few options among the safety
settings are listed below:
❒ display of menu buttons which are
essential while driving;
❒ display of safety warnings;
❒ alert if speed limits are exceeded.
For safer driving, use voice commands
to control navigation (see "Voice
commands" chapter).
Important information
Look at the screen only when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look
at the screen for a long time, pull over
to a safe place so as not to be
distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in
the event of a fault. Otherwise the
system might be damaged. Contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system repaired.
NAVIGATION ACTIVATION
Press the NAV button on the front panel
to activate navigation mode.
When navigation is activated for the first
time, it is necessary to respond to
some configuration questions: respond
by touching the screen.
GPS (Global Positioning
System) RECEPTION
The GPS is a satellite system which
provides worldwide information about
time and position. The GPS is
exclusively controlled by the
government of the United States of
America, the only party responsible for
the availability and accuracy of this
system. The operation of this navigation
system can be influenced by any
change made to the availability and
precision of the GPS or by specific
environmental conditions.
When navigation is started for the first
time, the system may require several
minutes to determine the GPS position
and display the current position on
the map. Afterwards the position will be
found much more quickly (usually a
few seconds are required).
The presence of big buildings (or similar
obstacles) may sometimes interfere
with the GPS signal reception.

of the passenger compartment.
The system faithfully reproduces
crystalline high tones and full bass
tones.
The complete range of sound is
reproduced throughout the entire
passenger compartment so that the
occupants are enveloped with the
feeling of space experienced when
listening to live music.
The components used have been
patented and make use of the most
sophisticated technology whilst at the
same time being easy to use by even
the most inexperienced people.
WARNING
1) Follow the safety rules below:
otherwise serious injuries may
occur to the occupants or the
system may be damaged.
2) If the volume is too loud this can
be dangerous. Adjust the volume
so that you can still hear
background noises (e.g. horns,
ambulances, police vehicles, etc.).
IMPORTANT
1) Only clean the front panel and the
display with a soft, clean, dry,
anti-static cloth. Cleaning and
polishing products may damage
the surface. Do not use alcohol or
similar products to clean the
panel or the display.
