GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT

Make sure to take the key with you once

a door or the boot is locked, to prevent

forgetting the key inside the car. If the key is

locked inside, it can only be retrieved by

using the second key provided.

The operation of the recognition system

depends on various factors, such as, for

GLARE-FREE

The “Glare-Free” function assists the

driver when driving on out-of-town roads

with poor lighting conditions by allowing

the use of main beam lights even in the

presence of other cars without the risk

of dazzling them.
The glare-free effect is achieved by

arrays of LEDs, which are dynamically

switched on and off to detect a shaded

CarManuals2.com

area at the headlights of every vehicle

on the road (including motorbikes and

bicycles), based on information about the

headlights of other cars provided by the

forward-facing digital camera located on

the windscreen below the interior rear-

view mirror.
The glare-free system is of the multi-

shadow type, as it can create up to four

light tunnels at the same time, and each

tunnel area is as wide as the obstacle

that must not be dazzled.
The figure shows an example of different

scenarios:

(1) two cars are travelling in front in the

same direction;

(2) another car is overtaking;
(3) another car is travelling in the

opposite direction.
The system can detect and react to

vehicles ahead or oncoming within

seconds.

9550196

Activation mode

The digital camera is the same as the

one used for automatic main beam and,

as with automatic main beam, the Glare

Free function must be activated on the

greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) during the

activation phase of the function;

the ambient light is not sufficient for

safe and comfortable driving;

there is traffic outside the cities.

When the system is active, the white
symbol

appears on the display, the

blue

symbol replaces the previus one

and indicates that all or only some of the

LED of the main beam headlights are on

at the moment.
In the event that the entire main beam

module has to be switched off to achieve

a glare-free effect on the instrument

panel, only the green indicator will remain

lit.

The blue symbol

will be displayed

again when the situation allows partial

or full use of the high beam headlights

without causing glare.

Notes

some unpredictable conditions, such

as dirt, dust, films or other obstructions

on the camera lens, may affect the

proper functioning of the glare-free

function

heavy rain and fog can affect the

performance of the system or lead to

its deactivation, leaving the high beam

headlights on for longer than the nominal

operating conditions. This can dazzle

other cars and cause disturbance. To

avoid this, the high beam headlights must

be switched off manually;

when the function is deactivated, the

minimum operating speed is 9 mph (15

km/h);

the correct operation of the Glare-

Free function is guaranteed if the car

speed is less than or equal to 155 mph

failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it

is possible to set the windscreen wiper
to continuous mode

or . The failure

indication remains for as long as the

sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognise,

and automatically adjust itself in the

presence of the following conditions:

presence of dirt on the controlled

surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.);

presence of streaks of water caused

by the worn windscreen wiper blades;

difference between day and night.

REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER

Engaging reverse gear with the

windscreen wiper operating activates a

single cycle of the rear window wiper.
Moving the stalk fig. 44 (it only has

unstable positions):

towards the instrument panel

activates the rear window washer

(a brief push activates one washing

cycle, keeping the stalk pushed washes

continuously until the stalk is released);

downwards

(with reverse gear

engaged) this activates/deactivates the

continuous

operation of the rear window

wiper, regardless of the movement of the

windscreen wiper;

downwards

(with reverse gear

not

engaged) this activates/deactivates

intermittent

operation (with actuating

frequency of about 3 seconds) of the

rear window wiper, regardless of the

movement of the windscreen wiper.

WARNING

23)

Make sure the device is turned off

whenever the windscreen glass must be

cleaned.

IMPORTANT

Never use the screen wiper to remove

layers of snow or ice from the windscreen

glass. In such conditions, the windscreen

wiper may be subjected to excessive

stress and the motor cut-out switch, which

prevents operation for a few seconds, may

intervene. If operation is not subsequently

restored, even after restarting the engine,

contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

Do not operate the windscreen wiper with

the blades lifted from the windscreen.

Do not activate the rain sensor when

washing the car in an automatic car wash.

Make sure the device is switched off if

there is ice on the windscreen glass.

DESCRIPTION

Air flow to the windscreen

and front side window vents

to demist/defrost them.

Air flow at central and side

dashboard vents to ventilate

the chest and the face during

the hot season.

Air flow to the front and

rear footwell vents. This air

distribution setting heats

the passenger compartment

most quickly, giving a prompt

sensation of warmth.

Air flow distributed between

footwell vents (hotter air) and

central and side dashboard

vents (cooler air). This air

distribution setting is useful

in spring and autumn on

sunny days.

Air flow distributed

between footwell vents and

windscreen and front side

window defrosting/demisting

vents. This distribution

setting allows the passenger

compartment to be warmed

effectively and prevents the

windows from misting.

Air flow distribution

between windscreen

demisting/defrosting

vents and side and central

dashboard vents. This

allows air to be sent to the

windscreen in conditions of

strong sunlight.

Air flow distribution to all

vents on the vehicle.

In AUTO mode, the climate control

system automatically manages the

air distribution. When set manually,

the air distribution is indicated by the

respective symbols on the Connect

system display switching on.

START&STOP EVO

The automatic dual-zone climate control

system manages the Start&Stop Evo

system (engine off and car is at a

standstill) to ensure adequate comfort

inside the car.
In particular, the climate control system

turns off the Start&Stop Evo if:

the climate control system is in AUTO

mode (LED on the button switched

on) and the temperature conditions

inside the car are far from a comfort

temperature;

the climate control system is in LO

maximum cooling;

the climate control system is set to

MAX-DEF.
When the Start&Stop Evo system is

active (engine off and car stationary),

the climate control system will request

restarting of the engine if the inside

temperature conditions rapidly

deteriorate (or if the user requests

maximum cooling – LO – or quick

demisting – MAX-DEF).
With Start&Stop Evo function on

(engine off and car stopped), the flow is

reduced as much as possible, to keep the

compartment comfort conditions for

longer.
The electronic climate control system

control unit attempts to manage

the decreased comfort caused by

switching off the engine as far as

possible (switching off the compressor

and engine coolant pump). However,

it is possible to give priority to the

climate control system by switching off

the Start&Stop Evo by pressing the

button located on the dashboard

controls to the left of the steering wheel.
In particularly severe climate conditions

it is recommended to limit the use of the

Start&Stop Evo system to prevent the

compressor from continuously switching

on and off, with consequent rapid misting

of the windows and accumulation of
