REFUELLING
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
andwarning 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.
CODE Card (for versions/markets, where provided)
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. Always carry the electronic code provided on the CODE card with you, in the case you need to perform
an emergency start.
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.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…
…important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided (personal safety)(environmental protection) (car integrity).

SYMBOLS
Some car components have coloured
labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using
this component. Under the bonnet
there is also a label that summarises all
the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the car. It
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
There is an electronic device in each
key which can identify the signal
emitted, when the engine is started,
from an aerial built into the ignition
switch. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started, is the
“password” by means of which the
control unit recognises the key and
enables starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Alfa
Romeo CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to
the engine management control unit to
deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted by the
key.Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
management control unit.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
warning
light (on some versions a message
together with a symbol is shown on the
display) switches on in the instrument
panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come
with the car. If it is still not possible to
start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Activation of warning
light while driving
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) switches on, this means
that the system is running self-
diagnosis (caused, for example, by a
voltage drop).
❒If the
warning light (or symbol on
the display) stays on, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm activates in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door/bonnet/
luggage compartment (perimeter
protection);
❒wrongful operation of the ignition
switch (ignition key turned to
MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery cables;
❒movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the car (for
versions/markets, where provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by
an acoustic and visual signal (flashing of
the direction indicators for several
seconds). The alarm activation modes
may vary according to the market.
There is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal
operation.IMPORTANT The engine locking
function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
SWITCHING ON THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate
closed and the ignition key either
turned to STOP or removed, point the
key with remote control towards the car
and press and release the
button.
Except for specific markets, the system
emits a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage precedes the
switching on of the alarm: in the event
of faults, the system will generate a
further acoustic and/or visual signal
through the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a
second acoustic signal is emitted
and/or a visual signal via the LED on
the dashboard, wait about 4 seconds
and switch off the alarm by pressing the
button, check that the doors,
bonnet and luggage compartment are
closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing the
button.If the alarm emits an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and
luggage compartment are correctly
closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated
using the remote control, once about
30 seconds have elapsed from when
the ignition key was turned to STOP
and a door or the tailgate was last
opened and then closed, the alarm
activates automatically.
This is indicated by the LED on the
button A fig. 10 lighting up intermittently
and the indications of activation
described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
button on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the
doors are closed by turning the metal
insert of the key in the driver side door
latch. If the system self-activates, the
doors are not locked.
