In the event of a "transmission
emergency" immediately contact the
nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Temporary failure
If the warning light turns on, the failure
may be temporary, in which case,
proceed as follows to restore correct
transmission operation:
stop the car;
engage P (Park) mode;
turn the ignition device to the STOP
position;
wait for about 10 seconds, then restart
the engine;
shift into the desired gear range.
If the problem is no longer detected,
the transmission will return to normal
operation.
WARNING In the event of a temporary
failure it is in any case recommended
to contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.
GEAR ENGAGEMENT DISABLING
SYSTEM WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from P (Park) mode if the
brake pedal has not been previously
depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position other
than P (Park), the ignition device must be
in position AVV (engine on) and the brake
pedal must be pressed.
PARK ENGAGEMENT DISABLING
WHEN ENGINE IS STOPPED
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing
the car, conveyor car washing systems)
inhibit the automatic activation of P
mode (Park) when stopping the engine, or
proceed as described below:
car at a standstill;
N (neutral) mode activated;
press the ignition button for at least 3
seconds.
The automatic parking brake
engagement function when the engine
is stopped can also be deactivated on
the Connect system by selecting the
following functions on the main menu:
"Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
GENERAL WARNINGS
Failure to comply with what is reported
below may damage the transmission:
select P mode (Park) only with the car
at a standstill;
select R mode (Reverse), or pass from
R to another mode only with the car at a
standstill and engine idling;
do not change between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive) modes
with engine running at a speed above
idling;
before activating any transmission
operating mode, fully depress the brake
pedal.
WARNING The unexpected movement
of the car can injure the occupants or
people nearby. Do not leave the car with
engine running: before getting out of the
passenger compartment always engage
the electric parking brake, select the P
mode (Park), stop the engine.
With the ignition device in the STOP
position, the transmission is blocked
in the P position (Park), to prevent
accidental car movement; on versions
equipped with Keyless Start, do not
leave the electronic key near the car (or
in a place accessible to children) and do
not leave the ignition device activated.
A child could activate the electric window
winders, other controls or even start the
engine; it is dangerous to select a mode
other than P (Park) or N (Neutral) at an
engine speed higher than idling.
If the brake pedal is not fully depressed
the car could rapidly accelerate.
Only engage the gear with engine
at idling, fully depressing the brake
pedal; if the transmission temperature
exceeds the normal operating limits, the
transmission control module may change
the gear engagement order and reduce
