VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alar m monitors the doors and decklid for unauthorized entry. If something
triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will flash the park lights and taillights.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:
1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid (perimeter protection);
2. Cutting of the battery leads;
3. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by a visual signal (flashing of the direction indicators for several
seconds). The alar m activation modes may vary according to the market. There is a maximum
number of visual cycles. When this is reached, the system returns to normal operation.
GETTING STARTED
10
NOTE:
The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa Romeo CODE, which is automatically
activated when the key is extracted from the ignition switch.
The alar m is adapted to meet requirements in various countries.
To Ar m The System
With the doors and decklid closed, point the key towards the vehicle then push and release the
button.
The system emits a visual signal and activates door locking .
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds precedes the activation of the alar m.
During the self-diagnosis, the Vehicle Security Light flashes in the instrument panel at a frequency
of about one flash per second.
After the self-diagnosis stage,the Vehicle Security Light flashes at a lower frequency (approximately
one flash ever y three seconds).
If, after the alar m is activated, a second visual signal (Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
panel) is emitted, wait about four seconds and deactivate the alarm by pushing the
button,
check that the doors and decklid are closed correctly and then reactivate the system by pushing
the
button.
If the alar m emits a visual signal even when the doors and decklid are closed correctly, a system
malfunction has occurred: in this case, contact an authorized dealer.
To Disar m The System
Deactivation
Push the
button.
The following operations are performed:
Two brief flashes of the turn signal indicators.
Unlocking of the doors.
NOTE:
If the central door locking system is unlocked using the metal insert of the key, the alar m is not
disabled.
In the event of accidental activation of the alarm, or in any case to interrupt the visual signal
cycle when activated, it is possible to push the
button or tur n the ignition key to MAR
(ON/RUN) for at least five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.
Disarming
To completely disable the alarm (e.g . during a lengthy period of car inactivity), lock the car by
turning the metal inser t of the key in the door lock.
GETTING STARTED
11
NOTE:
If the batteries of the key fob discharge or there is a fault in the system, the alar m can be
switched off by inser ting the key in the ignition switch and tur ning it to MAR (ON/RUN).
SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
Be sure ever yone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your abdomen.To remove
slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt
the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat
belt in a collision.
Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove
slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled
up properly.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision.You are
more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and
shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose par ts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR
BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
Air Bag War ning Light
Steering Wheel and Column
Instr ument Panel
Knee Impact Bolsters
Advanced Front Air Bags
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
Front and Side Impact Sensors
Seat Belt Pretenioners
Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Seat Track Position Sensors
Advanced Front Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement
to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type of
collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat
belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover
collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may
produce substantial vehicle damage for example, some pole collisions, tr uck underrides, and
angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air Bags may
deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial decelera-
tion.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by
themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help keep you
in position, away from an inflating air bag .
After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
GETTING STARTED
13
If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your authorized
dealer.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the USB for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instr ument panel
below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides enhanced protection
during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front
Air Bags.
WARNING!
Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags
work with your seat belt to restrain you proper ly. In some collisions, the air bags won't deploy
at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag
deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instr ument panel.
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or steering
wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Door-Integrated Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). The SABICs are located in the door trim below the side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants through
side windows in certain side impact events.
SABICs are designed to activate in certain side impacts.The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the SABIC in a particular impact event is appropriate, based
on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or
not SABICs should have deployed.
GETTING STARTED
14
WARNING!
Relying on the SABICs alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The SABICs
work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, SABICs won’t deploy at
all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have SABICs.
SABICs need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
Being too close to the SABICs during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Door-Integrated Side Air Bag
Inflatable Cur tains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs. The door trim below the side windows where the SABIC and
its deployment path are located, should remain free from any obstructions.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power remains
intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will deter mine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is pushed.
The hazard lights can be deactivated by pushing the hazard light button.
Tur n on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or for 15 minutes
from the intervention of the Enhanced Accident Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
GETTING STARTED
15
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the system is active, a message regarding fuel cutoff is displayed. Turn
the ignition switch from ignition AVV or MAR to ignition STOP. Carefully check the vehicle for fuel
leaks in the engine compar tment and on the ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank
before resetting the system and starting the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event the left and right turn signal lights, located in the instr ument
panel, may both be blinking and will continue to blink. In order to move your vehicle to the side of
the road, you must follow the system reset procedure.

Air Bag War ning Light
The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag
system electrical components.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition
switch is in the AVV or MAR position. If the ignition switch is in the STOP position the air bag system
is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first tur ned to the MAR position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the
system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously.A single chime will
sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
GETTING STARTED
16
If the Air Bag War ning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds when
the ignition switch is first turned to the MAR position, stays on, or turns on while driving , have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer (if equipped), or any engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags may not
be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender,
age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other par ties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According
to crash statistics, children are safer when proper ly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.
Ever y state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The front passenger seating position is equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) that is designed to keep the lap por tion of the seat belt tight around the child restraint.Any
seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
There is a tether strap anchor located behind the front passenger seat, either on the seatback
near the floor or on the floor behind the seat.
Tether Weight Limit
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up
to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of the
child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seat
belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back into the retractor. As
the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is now in the
Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out any
webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap por tion around the child restraint while
you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage,
connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See below for directions
to attach a tether anchor.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the
belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Top Tether Strap W ith The Vehicle Seat Belt:
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to the tether
anchor weight limit, when the child restraint is installed with the vehicle seat belt.
GETTING STARTED
18
Tether Strap Installation
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find the tether
anchorage. You may need to move the seat forward to provide better access to the tether
anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage for that seating position, move the child restraint
to another position in the vehicle if one is available.
2. Route the tether strap around the outboard side of the head restraint to the tether anchorages.

WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the
vehicle.The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be
severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag . A deploying Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the manufac-
turer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap.
If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not slip into
the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
NON-ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINTS
The non-adjustable head restraints are form fitted into the upper str ucture of the seatback and are
designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact.The
seatback should be properly adjusted to an upright position where the head restraint is positioned
as close as possible to the back of your head.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, and rear axle) in your
new vehicle. Following these few simple guidelines is all that is necessary for a good break-in.
Driving your vehicle with a new transmission requires no special techniques. To reach optimal
shifting quality and help with engine Break-in, Dynamic and Race Mode will be inhibited until the
vehicle has accumulated 155 miles (250 km).
For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Keep your vehicle speed below the legal,posted speed limit and your engine speed below 4,000
RPM.
Avoid driving at a constant speed, either fast or slow, for long periods.
Avoid very aggressive driving.
Do not make any full throttle star ts and avoid full throttle acceleration.
Use the proper gear for your speed range.
Wait until the engine has reached normal operating temperature before driving at the recom-
mended maximum break-in speed.
Avoid excessive idling.
Check the engine oil level at every fuel fill.
NOTE:
A new engine will consume some oil during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation.
This should be considered a normal par t of the break-in and not interpreted as a sign of difficulty.

PARKING SENSORS IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with Parking Sensors.The four Parking Sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to detect the presence of any obstacles near the rear par t of the car;
they consequently inform the driver, through an inter mittent acoustic signal.
The sensors are automatically activated when REVERSE gear is engaged and a visual display in the
EVIC. As the obstacle behind the car gets closer, the acoustic signal becomes more frequent.
CAUTION!
The Parking Sensor system is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize ever y obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close
proximity
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the Parking Sensor system in order to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using the Parking Sensor system.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Parking Sensor system. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

ALFA TWIN CLUTCH SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION
This vehicle is equipped with a Six-Speed Alfa Twin Clutch transmission with steering wheel
mounted shift paddles.
When the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmission controls (shift paddles on the steering
wheel, and gear selector buttons on the center console) are disabled.
When the key is turned to the ON position, the current transmission gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, along with the "AUTO" indicator.This Indicates the transmission is in Automatic
mode.
Operating Modes
The transmission has two normal operating
modes (except when the “Race” mode is se-
lected on the DNA switch):
MANUAL mode: The driver must shift gears
manually (using the steering wheel mounted
shift paddles).
Automatic (AUTO) mode: The system shifts
between all forward gears automatically.
When the “Race” mode is selected via the DNA
selector, the only allowed transmission operat-
ing mode is MANUAL.
MANUAL Mode
In this operating mode, the driver is responsible
for choosing the best gear to engage, depending
on the vehicles operating conditions. The cur-
rent gear is displayed in the instr ument cluster.
To activate/deactivate MANUAL mode, push 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 acoustic 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 automatically select FIRST (1st) gear.
The driver must manually upshift the transmission (by tapping the + shift paddle) as the vehicle
accelerates.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
31
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 NATURAL and ALL WEATHER Modes.
AUTO Mode
In AUTO mode the transmission shifts gears automatically depending on vehicle speed, engine
RPM, and accelerator pedal position.
AUTO is the default operating mode at startup. When in AUTO mode, "AUTO" appears in the
instrument cluster, adjacent to the current gear display.
To toggle between AUTO and MANUAL modes, push the A/M button on the center console.
Accelerating From A Stop
FIRST (1st) and REVERSE (R) can only be engaged (at a stop) by pushing “1” or “R” when the brake
pedal is pressed.
To drive, press the brake pedal, and select 1 (1st) or R (REVERSE) by pushing “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:
The vehicle will not “creep” when the brake pedal is released, and may in fact roll down on an
incline. Leaving from a stop, the accelerator pedal must be pressed to transmit driving torque to
the wheels.
When star ting on a fair ly steep incline, it may be helpful 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.
Transmission Gear Selector
1 “-” Shift Paddle
2 “+” Shift Paddle
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
32
If the brake pedal is not depressed (and the vehicle is stationary for a period of time), the
transmission will automatically engage NEUTRAL (N).
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 speed drops 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 shifting.
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 transmission will then retur n to AUTO
mode after a brief interval.
Pressing a shift paddle will only shift the transmission one gear at a time. Holding a paddle
depressed will not command multiple shifts; the paddle must be pressed multiple times in
succession to generate multiple shifts.
Neutral (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running . Always
apply the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle.
At engine star tup, the transmission will automatically select NEUTRAL (N) and AUTO mode. The
brake pedal must be pressed when star ting the engine.
To select NEUTRAL (N) when the vehicle is stationary, turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON position
(engine r unning or not), press the brake pedal, and push the N button on the transmission gear
selector.
When the vehicle is moving (with ignition ON), pushing the NEUTRAL (N) button will engage N,
regardless of whether the brake pedal is pressed.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. Coasting in
NEUTRAL and tur ning off the ignition while coasting severely limit your ability to respond to
changing traffic or road conditions. Failure to follow this WARNING may result in your loss of
vehicle control, collision and serious injury or death.
With the vehicle in motion, to engage a gear from the NEUTRAL (N) position, push the 1 button on
the transmission control panel (it is not necessary to press the brake pedal).The transmission will
engage the correct gear according to the vehicles speed.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
33
Acoustic Signal
If the vehicle is stationary with the engine running and FIRST (1st) gear or REVERSE (R) engaged,
the system activates an acoustic signal and automatically places the transmission in NEUTRAL (N)
when:
The accelerator and/or brake pedal are not operated for at least three minutes.
The brake pedal is pressed for longer than 10 minutes.
The driver’s door is opened and the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal are not operated for at
least one and a half seconds.
A fault has been detected in the transmission.
Parking The Vehicle
When parking and leaving the vehicle, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal depressed, put the vehicle into either a forward or reverse gear by pushing
1 or R. (The vehicle may already be in 1 or R if you were just driving.)
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Turn off and remove the key.
5. Release the brake.
When parking on an incline, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill slope and away
from the curb on an uphill slope. Always chock the wheels when parking on steep grades.
General Notes
When the vehicle is stopped and in gear, always keep the brake pedal pressed until you decide to
set off, then release the brake and accelerate gradually.
During prolonged stops with the engine r unning, it is advisable to keep the transmission in
NEUTRAL (N).
When stopped on an incline, always hold the vehicle in place using the brakes. On steep inclines,
Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold the vehicle in position when the brake pedal is released.
If the accelerator pedal is not applied after a short time, the vehicle will roll back. Either reapply the
brake (to hold the vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill.
Only shift between FIRST (1st) and REVERSE (R) when completely stopped, with the brake pedal
pressed.
When necessary, it is possible to engage FIRST (1st), REVERSE (R) or NEUTRAL (N) with the engine
off, the key at MAR-ON and the brake pressed. In this case, wait at least five seconds between one
gear change and the next, in order to safeguard the operation of the hydraulic system, and the
pump in particular.
For uphill depar tures, accelerate gradually but fully, immediately after releasing the parking brake
or the brake pedal; this allows the engine speed to increase to provide more torque at the wheels.

About Time Cor rection
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car var y widely due to the complex speaker
placement. This difference in the distances from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the
sounds image and frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the sound
reaching the listener’s right versus the left ear.
To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers closest to the listener.This
effectively creates a perception of increased distance for those speakers. The listener can be
placed at an equal distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging.
About The Crossover
This unit is equipped with an active crossover.The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the
outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the
frequencies for which they have been optimally designed. The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass
filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs
or lows).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
Batter y Charge War ning Light
This light illuminates when the battery is not charging properly. If the battery charge warning light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
We recommend you do not continue driving if the battery charge war ning light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound when this light tur ns on.
We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle
serviced immediately.
Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
If the light is not on during star tup, stays on, or turns on while driving we recommend you contact
the nearest authorized dealer and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
Air Bag Warning Light
If the light is not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving have the vehicle serviced by
an authorized dealer immediately.
T ire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires).
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
104
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN
THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION
PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION,THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE FLASHING
LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change.
Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example:
If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold
tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for ever y
12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire
sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the
sensors may result.

failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.
–BrakeWarningLight
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake applica-
tion. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid
level is low, or that there is a problem with the brake system master cylinder reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full
mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction
or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been cor rected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run
when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of
the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake
Warning Light, which will tur n on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped
below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along
with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
106
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by tur ning the ignition switch from the OFF
position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The
light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light
does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the
MIL after engine star t. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical
driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive nor mally and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage.We recommend you do not operate
the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition when
the vehicle has completely stopped; the light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an
authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine is running , immediate
service is required and you may experience reduced perfor mance, an elevated/rough idle or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action.
On the highways slow down.
In city traffic while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine
idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
You can also tur n the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the
blower control to high.This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids
in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads 240°F
(116°C) or greater pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner tur ned off
until the coolant temperature drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C).The digital
warning light may switch on (together with a message on the display) to indicate that the coolant
temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the
radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator
or coolant bottle is hot.

ADDING FUEL/SMART FUEL
NOTE:
The "Smart Fuel" is a device placed on the top of the filler pipe; it opens and closes
automatically when the fuel nozzle is inserted or extracted.
Only the correct nozzle size diameter allows the flap door to open when the nozzle is inserted.
Refueling Procedure
1. Open the fuel filler door pulling towards outside.
2. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap door inside the pipe seals the system.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle into the filler pipe (the nozzle opens and holds the flap door while
refueling) and start refueling. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
4. At the end of refueling, before removing the nozzle, wait at least 10 seconds to allow the fuel
to flow within the tank.
5. Remove the fuel nozzle from the filler pipe and then close the fuel door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling:
Most gas cans will not open the flapper door.
A funnel is provided to open the flapper door to allow emergency refueling with a gas can.
1. Retrieve the appropriate funnel from the storage area in the luggage compartment.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel nozzle.
3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper door open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening .
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the storage area.
Fuel F iller Door Location
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
136
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the
tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is r unning. This is in violation of most state and federal fire
regulations and may cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while filling.
TIRES GENERAL INFORMATION
TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to the
recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information”
label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the USB card for
more infor mation regarding tire warnings and
instructions.
Tire And Loading Information Location
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
137
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle
handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity
for your vehicle. Never overload them.
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation increases
tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s
ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that
results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire inflated to
the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
SPARE TIRES IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with T ire Service Kit instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire Service Kit”
in “What To Do In Emergencies” on your USB card for further information.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car
wash with a compact or limited-use temporary spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may
result.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel equivalent in look and function to the
original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle.This spare tire may
be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option, refer to an authorized tire
dealer for the recommended tire rotation patter n.
Compact Spare Tire If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only.You can identify if your vehicle is equipped
with a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire and Loading Infor mation
Placard located on the driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall of the tire. Compact spare tire
descriptions begin with the letter “T” or “S” preceding the size designation. Example: T145/
80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired (or replaced)
and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first oppor tunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel,
since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not install more than one
compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
138
WARNING!
Compact spares are for temporary emergency use only. W ith these spares, do not drive more
than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow
the warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and loss
of vehicle control.
Full Size Spare If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may look like the originally
equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited
tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size spare tire
needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first oppor tunity.
Limited Use Spare If Equipped
The limited-use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This tire is identified by a label
located on the limited-use spare wheel.This label contains the driving limitations for this spare.This
tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same as your
original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle
at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited-use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects
vehicle handling. With this tire, do not drive more than the speed listed on the limit-use spare
wheel. Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on your T ire and Loading
Information Placard located on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge of the driver’s side door.
Replace (or repair) the original equipment tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on your
vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equivalent or
select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use oven cleaner.
These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's protective finish. Only MOPAR
Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.

If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you
may obtain a complimentary printed copy of the Owner’s Manual
or Warranty Booklet by calling 1-844-253-2872 (U.S.),
1-800-465-2001 (Canada English), 1-800-387-9983 (Canada
French) or by contacting your dealer.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that
the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take their attention off the road.
Use of any electrical devices, such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other
devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious collision. Texting
while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you nd yourself
unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
IMPORTANT
This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important features of your vehicle. The USB enclosed
contains your Owner’s Manual, Radio Manual, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and Roadside Assistance
(new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in Canada)
in electronic format. We hope you find it useful. U.S. residents can purchase replacement DVD kits
by visiting www.techauthority.com and Canadian residents can purchase replacement DVD kits by
calling 1-800-387-1143.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive.
Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reexes are
slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new
Alfa Romeo and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions.
However, it is not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures and important
safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual, Radio Manual and other
Warning Labels in your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For
additional information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit
https://4c.alfaromeo.com or your local Alfa Romeo dealer.
