149)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
150)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature, remove
the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
151)When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes

55)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are not
compatible with each other! Topping up with
an unsuitable fluid could severely damage
your vehicle.
56)The oil level must never exceed the MAX
reference.
57)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
58)Use a fluid of the same type as that
already present in the reservoir for any
topping up of the engine cooling system. The
fluid cannot be mixed with other types of
antifreeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
59)When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. In order to
avoid possible accidental closure, it is
recommended to place an obstacle (e.g. a
cloth) on the lock that would physically avoid
closure.

substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters, we
advise you to contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
5)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership for oil changes.

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, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits,
from 0 to 9: to insert the first digit of the
code, turn the Rotary Pad and press to
confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the Rotary Pad:
the system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, thesystem displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays "Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Wait for 30 min.".
After the text has disappeared it is
possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the
system. The vehicle radio passport shows
the system model, serial number and
secret code.
In the event that the radio passport is
lost, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you can
give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look at
the screen for a long time, pull over to a
safe place so as not to be distracted
while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in the
event of a fault. Otherwise the system
might be damaged. Contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system repaired.
