Clutch overheating
The message is shown on the display ac-
companied by a buzzer when there is clutch
overheating.
Press the brake -
Delayed start-up
The messages are alternatively shown on
the display, accompanied by a buzzer,
when, during start up, the system recognises
that the brake pedal is operating.
Under this condition, keep the key in the
AVV position for at least 6 seconds, with
the brake held down: the engine will start.
The system is now in the recovery mode
(maximum gear allowed: 2
nd
).
If parking or stopping the
car uphill (e.g. at the traf-
fic lights), do not use the acceler-
ator to keep the car stopped, to
prevent overheating and thus dam-
aging the clutch. Instead, use the
brake pedal and press the acceler-
ator pedal only when about to
leave off. If the message remains
on the display, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
WARNING
If the message remains on
the display, contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The messages are shown
only if start-up is carried out with any gear
engaged but neutral (N).
