GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
113
STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a
gear engaged or in neutral (
N
) provided
that the brake pedal is fully depressed.
IMPORTANT
If the brake pedal is not
depressed, the starter motor will not turn,
thus preventing the engine from being start-
ed.
After starting, the gearbox sets to neutral
automatically, the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display shows the letter (
N
) and the
system selects the semiautomatic operating
mode (manual).
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
AND SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to
STOP
the en-
gine turns off but the Selespeed system is
still active waiting for the car to stop com-
pletely. After about 2 - 4 seconds from when
the key has been moved to
STOP
, the hy-
draulic part is deactivated and the reconfig-
urable multifunction display is turned off im-
mediately afterwards; at this point is the Se-
lespeed system deactivated.
The gear selected before switching off the
engine remains engaged.
If the engine is stopped with the gearbox
in neutral (
N
), the buzzer calls the driver’s
attention so that the car can be put in safe-
ty conditions engaging first gear (
1
) or re-
verse (
R
). In this case, the ignition key
should be turned to
MAR
and with the
brake pedal pressed, engage first gear (
1
)
or reverse (
R
).
IMPORTANT
If the engine is stopped
with the
CITY
mode engaged, this will be
stored by the system. Indeed, the next time
the engine is started, this condition will still
be active.
IMPORTANT
Should the engine go off
with the car on the move, the next time it
is started the Alfa Romeo CODE warning
light (
Y
) may come on. In this case check
that the warning light goes off turning the
engine off and on again with the vehicle sta-
tionary. If not contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services.
NEVER leave the car with
the gears in neutral (N).
WARNING
Never remove the ignition
key when the car is mov-
ing. In addition to the fact that the
Selespeed system would not work
properly up to stopping the car, the
steering wheel would lock auto-
matically the first time it is turned.
WARNING
If the engine fails to start
with the gear engaged, the
driver is informed of the potential-
ly dangerous situation due to the
fact that the gearbox is in neutral
by the buzzer and by the reconfig-
urable multifunction display.
