ANTI-PINCH DEVICE

The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety

system capable of detecting the

presence of an obstacle during the

closing movement: if this happens, the

system intervenes and the movement of

the roof is immediately reversed into

opening.

INITIALISATION PROCEDURE

Automatic operation of the sunroof

must be initialised again in case of faulty

sunroof operation.
WARNING The anti-pinch safety function

is deactivated during the initialisation

procedure.
Proceed as follows:

start the engine;

CarManuals2.com

press the button (1) at the word

CLOSE

to bring the roof to the fully closed

position;

open the driver side door
turn the ignition device to the STOP

position;

within 5 seconds, set the ignition

device to AVV and start the engine;

within 10 seconds press the button

(1) at the word

CLOSE

and hold it down;

after 10 seconds you will hear the electric

motors of the roof and blind stop in

sequence;

release the button and within 5

seconds press the button (1) at the word

CLOSE

and hold it down (until the end

of the cycle): the roof will automatically

perform a complete open and close cycle

including both the window and the blind

(to indicate that the initialisation has

been successful). If this does not occur,

the procedure must be restarted from

the beginning;

check that the re-initialisation

operation was successful by checking

the “one touch” function of the window

and blind.

WARNING

25)

When leaving the car, make sure to take

the key with you to avoid the risk of injury to

those still inside the car due to accidental

operation of the sunroof. Improper use

of the roof can be dangerous. Before and

during operation, always check that no-one

is exposed to the risk of being injured by the

moving sunroof or by objects getting caught

or hit by it.

IMPORTANT

10)

Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack

or crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun

roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may

damage it.

GASOLINE PARTICULATE FILTER GPF

(Gasoline Particulate Filter) (petrol

versions with GPF only)

The Gasoline Particulate Filter is a

mechanical filter built into the exhaust

system, which physically traps carbon

particles present in the exhaust gases of

petrol engines.
Since this filter physically traps

particulate, it must be periodically

regenerated (cleaned) at regular

intervals by burning carbon particles.
The following may occur during

regeneration: more noise and/or

worsening of car handling.
These are not faults; they do not impair

normal car performance or damage the

environment. If the dedicated message

is displayed, see contents of "Warning

"Knowing the instrument panel” section.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

(Diesel Particulate Filter)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a

mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust

system, that physically traps carbon

particles present in the exhaust gases of

Diesel engines.
Since this filter physically traps

particulate, it should be periodically

regenerated (cleaned) at regular

intervals by burning carbon particles.

During the regeneration there may be

a limited increase in the engine idle

speed, fan activation, a limited increase

in fumes and high temperatures at the

exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair

Warning light

What it means

EOBD / INJECTION / CATALYST DAMAGE (petrol versions with GPF)
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off

as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws

and regulations of the country where you are driving.

Injection system failure

If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust

emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Under these conditions, you can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from

the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on constantly may cause damage. Contact an

Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.

Catalytic converter damage

If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator pedal to

lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing.
Continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
