READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLINGDo not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital
components of the supply system.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with mechanical gearbox
Make sure the electric parking brake is engaged, press the clutch pedal and then press the ignition button briefly.
Versions with automatic transmission
Make sure that the electric parking brake is engaged and that the transmission is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the brake pedal and then press the
ignition device button.
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 vehicle 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 vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
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.

128)If the AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the AdBlue may decompose and
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the cap
of the AdBlue tank is unscrewed, therefore
be careful not to inhale any ammonia
vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.AdBlue® (UREA) ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
(2.2 JTD versions only)
The car is equipped with an UREA
injection system and Selective Catalytic
Reduction to meet emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system
warnings, refer to the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
89.6° F (32 °C), it has a shelf life of at
least one year.
For more information on the AdBlue®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and lubricants”
paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue® heating system when the engine
starts allowing the system to work
correctly at temperatures lower than
-11 °C.
IMPORTANT AdBlue® freezes at
temperatures lower than 12.2 °F (-11 °C).
SUGGESTIONS FOR DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Below are some suggestions which may
help you save fuel and thus lower the
amount of harmful emissions released
into the atmosphere.
Vehicle maintenance
Checks and operations should be carried
out in accordance with the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" (see chapter
"Maintenance and care").
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated rear
window, additional headlights, screen
wipers and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake increases
fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).

STARTING AND DRIVING
Page 162 of 232
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and maintenance
operations at fixed distance intervals
and, for versions/markets, where
provided, at fixed time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an Alfa
Romeo Dealership according to a set
time schedule. 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 consent only.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
operations are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every year or620miles (1,000km) or
before long journeys, check and top up, if
necessary:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
Alfa Romeo dealership as soon as
possible);
low AdBlue diesel emissions additive
(UREA) level warning (2.2 JTD versions
only);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washing/wiping
system and positioning/wear of wiper
blades.

DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used in one of the
following conditions:
€ ‘
4-5 miles (7-8 km)) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
in the event of a long period of
inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front and rear disc brake pad
condition and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
tailgate locks, cleanliness and lubrication
of linkage;
visually inspect conditions 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 and, if necessary, replace pollen
filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner;
