CARE AND MAINTENANCE
106) 108)
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
the display lens should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which could damage its surface; use a
soft, dry anti-static cloth to clean and do
not press
do not use alcohol, petrol and derived
products them to clean the display lens

repair
MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
WARNING Some multimedia players may
not be compatible with the Alfa Connect
system.
Only use devices (e.g. USB flash
drives) from safe sources on the car.
Devices from unknown sources could
contain software infected by viruses
which, if installed on the car, could
increase the vulnerability of the car's
electric/electronic systems to hacking.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has been
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret code
according to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, a keypad appears on
the display to enter the secret code.
After entering the fourth digit, press the
OK graphic button and the system begins
operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays a message to notify the
user of the need to enter the correct
code.
After the 3 attempts available for
entering the code have been used, the
system will display a message indicating
that the code is not correct, the radio is
blocked and it is necessary to wait 30
minutes. After the text has disappeared
it is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
WARNINGS
In the event of an anomaly, the system
must only be checked and repaired by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low,
the display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
If the car is stopped for a while and the
external temperature is very high, the
system may go into "thermal protection"
mode, suspending operation until the
radio temperature returns to acceptable
levels.
