JUMP STARTING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership immediately if the
Ywarning light stays on constantly on the
instrument panel .
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, start the engine
using an auxiliary battery with the same
capacity or a little higher than the flat
one.
111) 13)
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle:
❒ connect the positive terminals (+ sign
near the terminal) of the two batteries
with a jump lead fig. 85;
85A0L0116
106)As required by current regulations,
the information on chemical substances
for the protection of human health and
the environment and on the safe use of
the sealing fluid are on the packaging
label. Compliance with the indications on
the label is an essential condition to
ensure the safety and the effectiveness
of the product. Remember to carefully
read the label before use; the user of the
product is responsible for any damages
caused by improper use. The sealing fluid
has an expiry date. Replace the bottle if
the sealant has expired.
107)Wear the protective gloves
provided with the kit.
108)Apply the adhesive label where it
can be easily seen by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated
with the quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
especially on corners. Do not exceed
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking.
109)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
Automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because the tyre is
too damaged. Contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
110)Always indicate that the tyre was
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the leaflet to the personnel charged
with handling the tyre treated with the
tyre repair kit.
12)Punctures caused by foreign bodies
can be repaired if the damage does not
exceed 4 mm on the tread and on the
shoulder of the tyre. Do not use the repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
WARNING
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.

SERVICING AND CARE
102
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Alfa Romeo has programmed
a series of checks and servicing
operations every 20,000 km.
Check the items on the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check
level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.)
before 20,000 km and then between the
services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by the
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership at
predefined intervals. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with the owner’s explicit
agreement only.
IMPORTANT NOTES
2000 km before the maintenance is due,
a dedicated message appears on the
display, along with warning light.
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
It is advisable to inform the dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.

  Check battery charge status and possibly recharge
Check tyre conditions/wear and adjust pressure, if necessary
Check operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard warning lights, luggage compartment, passenger compartment,
glove compartment, instrument panel warning lights, etc.)
Check vehicle fastenings
Check mechanical components fastenings
Check operation of windscreen washer system and adjust jets if necessary
Check position/wear of windscreen wiper blade
Check cleanliness of luggage compartment lock, cleanliness and lubrication of linkages
Visually inspect condition of: exterior bodywork, carbon monocoque, aerodynamic
bottom, pipes and hoses (exhaust, fuel supply system, brakes), rubber elements
(boots, driveshaft boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.)
Check condition and wear of front brake pads and discs,
and operation of pad wear indicator
Check condition and wear of rear brake pads and discs,
and operation of pad wear indicator
Check and, if necessary, top up fluid levels (engine cooling, brakes,
windscreen washer, etc.)

105
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up the
following:
❒ engine coolant level;
❒ brake fluid;
❒ windscreen washer fluid;
❒ tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒ operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
❒ operation of windscreen
washing/wiping system and
positioning/wear of wiper blade.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the dipstick.
Carry out the check with the vehicle
parked on level ground.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used mainly under one of
the following conditions:
❒ trailer or caravan towing;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short repeated distances (less than
7-8 km) and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒ engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
❒ you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than shown
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒ check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrication;
❒ visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (gaiters - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
❒ check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte);❒ visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
❒ check and, if necessary, change engine
oil and replace oil filter;
❒ check air cleaner and replace it, if
required.
Using the car on track should be regarded
as an exception. The car has been
designed and produced for road use.

TECHNICAL DATA

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
Tyres provided Inflation pressure (bar)
Front tyres 205/45 R17 88Y XL 1.8 205/40 R18 86Y XL 1.8
Rear tyres 235/40 R18 95Y XL 2.0 235/35 R19 91Y XL 2.0
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure.
However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the “Raising the vehicle” paragraph in the “Servicing and care” chapter.
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car: the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership will be able to advise
you on the most appropriate tyre to use.
Only use these tyres in the event of ice or snow on the roads.
In these conditions it is recommended to select the “All Weather” mode of the Alfa DNA system.
For the type of snow tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications of the tyres, carefully follow the instructions given in
this paragraph.
134)
The performance of these tyres on low-grip surfaces are reduced considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace them in
this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in normal weather conditions and dry asphalt or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower than that of standard tyres.
Their usage should therefore be restricted in accordance with their type approval.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CIGAR LIGHTER
The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children don’t use it: risk of fire and/or burns.
ASHTRAY
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
WHEELS AND TYRES
The road holding qualities of the car also depend on the correct inflation pressure of the tyres. If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a result.
Do not switch tyres from the left to the right side and vice versa, in order to prevent inversion of the rotation direction.
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temperatures higher than 150°C.
The mechanical characteristics of the wheels might be compromised.
The car is always equipped with front and rear wheels of different dimensions. It is not therefore possible to move the wheels from the
front to the back and vice versa.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
Take care when fitting additional spoilers or non-standard alloy wheels: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect
efficiency in sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
CATALYTIC SILENCER
Under operating conditions, the catalytic converter becomes very hot. Therefore, do not park the car on flammable materials
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.) to avoid the risk of fire.
