prolonged and/or excessive rubbing against
clothing accessories such as metal buckles
and Velcro strips which, by applying a high
pressure on the fabric in a small area, could
cause it to break, thereby damaging the
upholstery.

users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
Contact a Alfa Romeo Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted, if
necessary.
On cars equipped with manual headlight
alignment adjuster, check light beam
alignment every time the load or its
distribution changes.

necessary.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
Dipped beam headlights are adjusted for
driving in the country where the car was

The ring fig. 49 can be set to the
following positions:
screen wiper off.
rotating the ring to the first
position activates the first
sensitivity level of the rain
sensor.
rotating the ring to the
second position activates the
second sensitivity level of the
rain sensor.
rotating the ring to the third

04146S0001EM
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:
operation is limited to the time for
which the stalk is held in this position.
When released, the stalk will return to
its default position and the windscreen
wiper automatically stop. This function is
useful to remove small deposits of dust
from the windscreen, or morning dew.
WARNING This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen washer
fluid onto the windscreen, the washing
function must be used.
With ring in position
or , the
windscreen wiper will automatically
adapt its operating speed to the speed of
the car.
Rain sensor sensitivity level
Positions

wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate
both the windscreen washer jet
and the windscreen wiper with a
single movement; the latter turns on
automatically.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
This is located behind the interior
rear view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen fig. 50 and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water on
the screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04146S0002EM
The sensor has an adjustment range
which varies progressively from wiper
still (no stroke) when the windscreen is
dry, to wiper at 2nd continuous speed
(fast continuous operation) with intense
rain.
Activation
9) 10)
Turn the ring fig. 49 to position
or
to activate the rain sensor.
The activation of the sensor is signalled
by a flick of the wiper (indicating that the
command has been acquired).
The variation in sensitivity during rain
sensor operation is also signalled by a
flick of the wiper (command acquired
and implemented). This stroke is also
executed with the windscreen dry.
If the windscreen washer is used with
the rain sensor activated, the normal
washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.
WARNING Keep the glass in the sensor
area clean.
WARNING With the windscreen wiper
ring turned to the
or position, wiping
operates automatically and is disabled
when the outside temperature is below
0°C.
Deactivation
Use ring fig. 49 or turn the ignition device
to STOP.
In the event of malfunction of the rain
sensor whilst it is active, the windscreen
wiper operates intermittently at a speed
consistent with the sensitivity setting of
the rain sensor, regardless of whether
there is rain on the glass, while sensor
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 window wiper blades;
difference between day and night.
23)
WARNING
23)
Make sure the device is turned off
whenever the windscreen glass must be
cleaned.
IMPORTANT
7)
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.
8)
Do not operate the screen wiper with the
blades lifted from the windscreen glass.
9)
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.
10)
Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen glass.

The system uses R1234yf coolant gas,
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under
no circumstances use R134a and R12
fluids, which are incompatible with the
components of the system.

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 in the
MAX-DEF status.
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 stopping
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
