Alfa Romeo Stelvio (2019 year). Manual — part 9

Its status can be changed from unused to
operational only if:

the handbrake is engaged or the shift

lever is in the P position;

the engine is off;
the tailgate is open.

There is a LED on the button 1, which may
be in one of the following states:

LED off: indicates that at least one of

the above conditions is not met, or the
trailer light wiring is connected to the
socket.

LED flashing: indicates that the tow

hook is moving or that the system must
be initialised;

LED on fixed: indicates that the tow

hook can be moved.
Safe opening and closing of the tow hook
is guaranteed by a protection system
that can stop and reverse its movement
when it encounters an obstacle while
opening or closing.
The system must be initialised after the
battery has been disconnected, the
movement has been blocked by a
physical obstacle or if the safety system
has intervened three times
consecutively.

IMPORTANT When the tow hook is not in
use, put it in the closed position.

System initialisation

In the conditions of movement described
above, press the movement button 1 for
at least 10 seconds. The LED will turn on
to confirm the initialisation.

ASSEMBLY SCHEDULE

The tow hook structure must be secured to the body in the points shown in the fig. 139.
Dimension D (see the figure): with the vehicle fully loaded: 330.35 mm, with the vehicle unladen: 350 to 420 mm

DRIVING

WARNING

126) The ABS with which the car is equipped
will not control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is required on
slippery roads.
127) Do not, under any circumstances,
modify the vehicle's braking system to
control the trailer breaking system. The
towing braking system must be completely
independent of the vehicle's hydraulic
system.
128) To avoid damage to your hands, keep
them away from the knob while inserting the
tow hook into position on the car bracket.

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

CONTROL

54)

Press the fig. 140 button to switch the
hazard warning lights on/off.
When the hazard warning lights are on,
the

and

warning lights flash.

When you need to move away from the
vehicle to look for help, the hazard
warning lights will continue flashing even
if the ignition device is in the STOP
position.

IMPORTANT The use of hazard warning
lights is governed by the highway code of
the country you are driving in: comply
with legal requirements.

Emergency braking

The hazard lights are switched on and
warning lights

and

appear on the

instrument panel in case of emergency
braking and according to the mode
selected by the “Alfa DNA™” selector.
When the "Alfa DNA™" selector is in
position "n" or "a", the activation
threshold of the hazard warning lights is
higher; on the other hand, in position "d"
the sensitivity of the activation is lower
than that in the "n" and "a" modes.
The lights switch off automatically when
emergency braking ceases.

IMPORTANT

54) A prolonged use of the hazard warning
lights may discharge the battery.

CHANGING A BULB

55)

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before replacing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation;

replace blown bulbs with others of the

same type and power;

after replacing a headlight bulb,

always check its alignment;

when a light is not working, check that

the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph "If a fuse
blows" in this chapter.

IMPORTANT In some particular climate
conditions such as low teperature,
humidity or after washing the car, a thin
condensation layer may form on the
internal surfaces of the front and rear
headlights. This is a natural phenomenon
due to the difference in temperature and
humidity between the inside and the
outside of the transparent cover which
does not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. It will disappear during
normal use.

WARNING

129) Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
130) Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
131) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
132) Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure that
the engine is cold, to prevent the risk of
burns.

IMPORTANT

55) Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan of
the bulb. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.

REPLACING FUSES

INTRODUCTION

133) 134) 135) 136) 137)

56) 57)

Fuses protect the electrical system: they
intervene (blow) in the event of a failure
or improper action on the system.

Fuse extracting pliers

To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked
to the boot fusebox cover fig. 150.
Grab the pliers from the upper tabs,
press them and extract the pliers pulling
upwards.

The pliers fig. 151 have two different
ends, specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the
vehicle:

1: MINI fuse;
2: J-CASE fuse.

After use, refit the pliers in position,
proceeding as follows:

grasp the pliers from the upper tabs;
press the pliers in their housing,

pushing downwards, until they click into
place.

FUSE LOCATION

The fuses, which can be replaced by the
user, are grouped in two boxes below the
passenger side foot board and inside the
boot.

CONTROL UNIT UNDER PASSENGER

SIDE FOOTBOARD

To access the fuses, proceed as follows:
