VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and wait for the and warning lights to switch off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine
has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. They will calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the cars electrical system can support the required load.
CODE Card (for versions/markets, where provided)

Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. Always carry the electronic code provided on the CODE card with you, in the case you need to perform
an emergency start.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS

important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided (personal safety) (environmental protection) (car integrity).

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

IMPORTANT The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These
indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the
information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.

WARNING
63) If the warning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR-ON or if it stays on when driving (together

pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
64) Failure of the warning light is signalled by the flashing for longer than the usual 4 seconds of the warning light
(located in the trim above the internal rear view mirror). In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the
passenger side airbag. In this case, the warning light may not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before
proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.

deterioration is accelerated by:
- mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process
more frequent;
- use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have
time to reach its regular operating temperature;
- repeated interruptions of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF
warning light switching on.
103
19-3-2014 10:4 Pagina 104
WARNING
65) Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the warning light comes on, and never more
than 500 km after it first switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level
of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you must not top up the engine oil.

stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before
stopping the engine as described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the car stationary.

WARNING
85) Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on
side upholstery on the roof or on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard
since they could interfere with correct inflation of the airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
86) Always drive keeping your hands on the steering wheel rim so that the airbag can inflate freely if necessary. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep the back of your seat upright and lean back into it.
87) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger airbag when a rear facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to avoid
the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag
as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.
88) To deactivate the airbags, see the Knowing your car section, Menu Items paragraph.
89) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child restraint systems on the front seat.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120
km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-
urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect
the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption figures than those measured.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF

ITS LIFE
For years, Alfa Romeo has pursued a global commitment to protect and respect the environment by continually improving its
production processes and developing increasingly eco-compatible products. To ensure its customers the best possible service
in compliance with environmental standards and in response to obligations arising out of European Directive 2000/53/EC on
end of life vehicles, Alfa Romeo offers its customers the chance to hand back their vehicles (*) at the end of their life cycle at no
additional cost.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January
2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge
irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and
bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships or an Alfa Romeo authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high-quality service for the collection,
treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an Alfa Romeo Dealership or by calling
the freephone number 00800 2532 0000 or on the Alfa Romeo website.
