LPG/PETROL SWITCH
20)
15)
This engine normally runs on LPG except
during starting when it runs on petrol.
Switching to LPG takes place
automatically and is indicated by the
switching-off of icon
on the display,
next to the letters LPG.
To switch to the other fuel type, press the
button
with the car stationary and
engine on, or while driving.
If the LPG runs out during LPG operation,
the system automatically switches over
to running on petrol.
The four bars near the letters LPG in the
display indicate the level of LPG in the
tank.
REFUELLING
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 38 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity. In addition,
after different refuelling processes, this
figure may vary due to differences
between the network pump supply
pressures, pumps having differentsupply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
19)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under
this category.
20)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
21)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
10)The car is equipped with a specifically
designed gaseous LPG injection system: it is
therefore absolutely forbidden to alter the
configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components or
materials could cause malfunctions and lead
to a reduction in safety; therefore, in the
case of problems, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. When towing or lifting the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the main
handbook under the paragraph on "Towing
the vehicle" to prevent damage to the gas
system parts.
11)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
12)When using a painting oven, the LPG
tank should be removed from the car and
later carefully refitted at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable to
proceed as follows every time the vehicle is
not in use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the devices fastening the
cover of the LPG tank, then remove it. Close
the LPG cock rotating the ring nut clockwise
(see "Passive safety / active safety"). Refit
the cover and retighten the fastening
devices.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
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.
LPG ENGINES

The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
