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 car’s electrical system can support the required load.

the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are

REFUELLING THE
CARStop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.
compliant with the European
specification EN228. The petrol octane
rating (R.O.N.) must not be lower than
95. In order to prevent damage to
the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded
petrol, even in the event of an
emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Use only diesel fuel compliant with
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.Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the 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).
If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable
to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in
the proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into
the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available fuel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
