VERY IMPORTANTREFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification EN228.Diesel
engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the 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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the
and
warning lights to switch off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
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.

BAG HOOKS
There are also bag hooks inside the
luggage compartment.
LUGGAGE RETAINING
NET
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is useful for correctly arranging
the load and/or for transporting light
materials. The luggage retaining net is
available from Lineaccessori Alfa
Romeo.
WARNING
24) A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious
injuries to passengers in the event
of an accident.
25) If you are travelling in an area
with limited opportunities for
refuelling and you wish to bring
petrol with you in a petrol can, you
must do so in compliance with
current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately
secured to the load securing
attachments. However, the risks
of fire in case of collision increase
anyway.
BONNETOPENING
Proceed as follows:
❒pull lever A fig. 71 in the direction
indicated by the arrow;
❒operate lever B, in the direction
indicated by the arrow, and raise the
bonnet.
IMPORTANT Two side gas shock
absorbers are provided to assist in
opening the bonnet. Do not tamper
with the shock absorber and
accompany the bonnet while lifting it.
IMPORTANT Before raising the bonnet,
make sure that the arms of the wipers
are not raised from the windscreen and
that the wiper is not operational.CLOSING
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine
compartment then let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely
closed and not only fastened by the
locking device by trying to open it. If it is
not perfectly closed, do not try to
press the bonnet down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
26) 27)
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the car is travelling.
The following plate is applied inside
the engine compartment fig. 72:

JUMP STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole A fig. 84 of the
car battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point.
49)
IMPORTANT
10) If you wish to run the air
conditioning system, you may
deactivate the Start&Stop system
to allow continuous operation of
the air conditioning system.
WARNING
48) When replacing the battery,
always contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should
have the same characteristics.49) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the engine is off
and that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the dedicated
label on the front crossmember
(fig. 85). We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the car.
The car should always be left after
the key has been removed or
turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the
ignition key is in the STOP
position).

60) Parking and other 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
parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never
allow their attention to lapse
during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.
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.

FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
The fuel flap is unlocked when the
central locking system is released and
automatically locked when the central
locking system is applied.
Opening
Press flap A fig. 94 to release it and
access fuel tank cap B. Then press cap
B and turn it anticlockwise.
61)
The cap is provided with a loss
prevention device C which attaches it
to the flap and prevents it from being
lost. Attach the cap to device D during
refuelling.Emergency flap opening
In case of emergency, pull the cord A
fig. 95 on the right-hand side of the
boot to open the fuel flap.
Pulling the cord will unlock the flap: it
will then be necessary to press on
the flap to open it.
Closure
Release cap B from device D and insert
it in its housing. Then tighten the cap
clockwise until one or more clicks
are heard. Finally, close flap A checking
that it is correctly locked.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
WARNING
61) Keep naked flames or lit
cigarettes away from the fuel tank
filler: fire risk. Avoid bringing
your face close to the filler, in
order not to breathe in harmful
vapours.

WARNING
68) Failure of the
warning light is indicated by the
warning light switching on. In addition, the airbag system
automatically disables the passenger side airbag. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
IMPORTANT
13) If, turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the
warning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing
when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
14) The presence of water in the fuel supply system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and
irregular engine operation. If the
warning light comes on in the instrument panel (together with a message in the
display) 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 poured into the tank: turn the engine off immediately and
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
