necessary to stop again with the engine
idling until it goes out.
TOWING THE CAR
WARNING
WARNING For towing the car comply
with current local regulations. Also follow
the instructions given in the chapter “In
an emergency”.
If the car needs to be towed adhere to
the following recommendations:
When travelling with the
gearbox faulty, drive
with the utmost care in consider-
ation of the limited performance (in
terms of acceleration and speed)
that the car can offer.
If there are less than 15 minutes between
one turning on of the warning light and the
next, you are advised to stop the car,
switch off the engine and allow the engine-
gearbox unit to cool down completely.
–
if possible, carry the vehicle on the
floor of a rescue vehicle;
if this is not possible, tow the car rais-
ing the driving wheels (front) from the
Warning light flashing
–
WARNING
If the warning light flashes when the en-
gine is started, this indicates a fault in the
automatic gearbox.
When travelling with the
gearbox faulty, the re-
versing gear lock might not be ac-
tive: absolutely never move the
lever to the R position with the car
on the move.
ground;
–
if this, too, is not possible, the car
should not be towed for more than 50
km at a speed of no more than 50
km/h.
The automatic control system sets an
“emergency” programme engaging 3rd
or 4th gear (depending on the speed at
which the fault occurred).
When towing, the gearshift lever should
be at N.
Turning the engine on and off again, the
system self-diagnostic feature may ex-
clude the fault and then turn off the
warning light. The fault remains in the
memory and it is therefore advisable to
have the automatic gearbox checked by
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
PUSH STARTS
Starting by pushing or towing the car is
not possible. In the event of an emer-
gency, when the battery is flat, start the
car with a suitable emergency battery, fol-
lowing the instructions given in the chap-
ter “In an emergency”.
Do not start the engine
while the car is being
towed.
The failure to comply
with these instructions
may cause serious dam-
age to the automatic gearbox.
