STARTING AND DRIVING
150
38) Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.
POWER STEERING
The standard electric power steering of
the car ensures quick steering response
and easy manoeuvring in tight spaces.
The system modifies the assistance
modes to facilitate parking manoeuvres
and ensure a good driving feeling. In the
event of a failure of the electric power
steering that reduces its functionality
or compromises the assist functions of
the car, it is still possible to steer the car
manually.
120)
If the icon appears on the instrument
panel display, the car must be taken to an
Alfa Romeo Dealership for appropriate
action. It is likely that the steering
intervention efficiency has been reduced.
For more information, refer to the
“Display” chapter in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” section.
If an overheating warning message and
icon are displayed on the instrument
panel display, excessive steering may
have occurred, causing the power
steering system to overheat. In this case,
there is a temporary loss of steering
efficiency as long as the overheating
condition exists. When driving conditions
permit, pull the car over and let the
engine idle until the warning light goes
out. For more information, refer to the
“Display” chapter in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” section.
NOTE Even though the steering
intervention efficiency is no longer ideal,
it is still possible to steer the car. In
this case you will notice a considerable
increase in steering force, particularly
at very low speeds or during parking
manoeuvres. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the necessary
operations performed.
WARNING
120) Continued operation with reduced
assist could pose a safety risk to yourself
and others. Service should be obtained as
soon as possible.
START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
121)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the car efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
Start&Stop mode will be active
whenever the engine is started.
OPERATING MODE
Method for switching off the heat
engine
Versions with dual clutch automatic
transmission
With vehicle at a standstill and brake
pedal pressed, the heat engine switches
off if the gear lever is in a position other
than R or N.
NOTE On versions with dual clutch
automatic transmission, in the event of
stops uphill, the heat engine switching
off is disabled to activate the "Hill Start
Assist" function (works only with running
engine). For Plug-In Hybrid versions , the
Hill Start Assist function is also active
with the heat engine switched off (the
function is controlled by the electric
motor).
