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.

Symbol What it means
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving, along to indicate the presence of water in the diesel filter.21)
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) through
the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. The process normally takes about
15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 37 mph (60 km/h) with engine speed
above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a fault and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
IMPORTANT
21)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately
after refuelling, water has probably been introduced into the tank: stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Symbol What it means
GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) CLEANING in progress (2.0 T4 MAir versions only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on fixed, together with a dedicated message on the display, to indicate that the GPF system needs to
eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) by means of the regeneration process.
The symbol does not light up on during every GPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. The optimal conditions for completing the
process are achieved by varying the speed of the car (pressure on the accelerator pedal). Hold a speed faster than 37 mph
(60 km/h), on extra-urban roads, until the symbol and the message disappear from the display.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate an anomaly and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.

The table below shows the approximate
distances for each area fig. 114:
AreaDistance from the
rear part of the car
Red 0-1ft(0–30cm)
Y
ellow 1 - 3.3 ft (30 cm-1m)
Green 3.3 ft (1 m) or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
124)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow
speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
IMPORTANT
57)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while cleaning
it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
camera must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations which use
steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do
not apply stickers to the camera.
REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
125) 126) 127)
Always stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 91
(EN228 specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use automotive diesel fuel
(EN590 and EN16734 specifications).
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
Diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent defective
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
In the event of refuelling with diesel
which is unsuitable for the operating
temperature, it is advisable to mix the
diesel with a specific additive,
introducing it to the tank before the
anti-freeze and then the diesel.

after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds in
order for the fuel to flow inside the tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler, close the cap and then close the
flap.The refuelling procedure described
previously is illustrated on the label
applied inside the fuel flap.
The label also has the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL = petrol; DIESEL =
diesel fuel) and the symbol that certifies
compliance with the EN228 (petrol),
EN590 and EN16734 (diesel) standards,
fig. 117.TOPPING UP AdBlue® DIESEL

Preliminary conditions
Proceed as follows:
park the car on level ground;
switch off the engine by turning the
ignition device to STOP;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 115, then undo
and remove the cap 4 (blue) from the
AdBlue® filler and place it in the specific
housing (the same one used for housing
the fuel cap 2, see fig. 115 ).
Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue® distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue® tank is full). Do not proceed with
the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed in
(e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after the

Page 136 of 232
indication appears on the instrument
panel display (see “Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter), fill the
AdBlue® tank with at least 1.11 UK gal –
5 litres;
if containers which can be screwed to
the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when the AdBlue® level in the container
stops pouring out. Do not proceed
further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 4 fig. 115 back on the
AdBlue®filler by turning it clockwise and
screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to ON (it is not
necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started and
the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when the
tank was empty, see the “Refuelling ”
paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area andproceed to filling up again. If the liquid
crystallises, eliminate it with a sponge
and warm water.
IMPORTANT
If AdBlue® is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
AdBlue® was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Do not add additives or other fluids
to AdBlue®, doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into another
container: it could be contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least
by not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter to continue using the car
normally.
The AdBlue® level is not updated if
the car is parked on a sloping road.
