IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to the
tank. AdBlue® freezes under 12.2°F
(–11°C). Although the system is
designed to operate below the freezing
point of AdBlue®, it is advisable not to
fill the tank beyond the maximum level
because if the AdBlue® freezes the
system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in the “Topping up AdBlue®
diesel emissions additive” paragraph in
this chapter.
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.

AdBlue® (UREA) ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
(2.2 JTD versions only)
The car is equipped with an UREA
injection system and Selective Catalytic
Reduction to meet emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system
warnings, refer to the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
89.6° F (32 °C), it has a shelf life of at
least one year.
For more information on the AdBlue®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and lubricants”
paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue® heating system when the engine
starts allowing the system to work
correctly at temperatures lower
than -11 °C.
IMPORTANT AdBlue® freezes at
temperatures lower than 12.2 °F (-11 °C).
SUGGESTIONS FOR DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Below are some suggestions which may
help you save fuel and thus lower the
amount of harmful emissions released
into the atmosphere.
Vehicle maintenance
Checks and operations should be carried
out in accordance with the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" (see chapter
"Maintenance and care").
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated rear
window, additional headlights, screen
wipers and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake increases
fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use standard
ventilation when the temperature
outside permits.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary; this
causes the engine to warm up more
slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: in this way the engine will warm
up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, as well as double-
declutching, is unnecessary and causes
increased fuel consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
136
STARTING AND DRIVING
Page 139 of 244

consumption. In the same way, improper
use of a high gear increases consumption,
emissions and engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
as speed increases. Maintain a constant
speed, avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cost in terms of both
fuel consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions: acceleration
should be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum torque.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban
cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by heavy
traffic, for instance when travelling in a
queue with frequent use of low gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road surfaces
also adversely affect consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) switch off the engine.

TOW HOOK SETUP
Instructions for using the removable
ball head tow hook
IMPORTANT NOTE Before setting off,
checkthat the removable ball head tow
hook islockedcorrectly. To do this, check
the following conditions:
the green mark on the knob must
coincide with the green mark on the tow
hook fixing bracket;
the knob must be at the end of its
travel, resting on the tow hook fixing
bracket (no crack);
the lock on the knob must be locked
with the key removed. The knob cannot
be removed;
the tow hook fixing bracket must be
firmly attached to the mounting pipe on
the car. Check by shaking with a hand.
The installation procedure must be
repeated if any of these requirements is
NOT met.
If even only one of the requirements is
not met the tow hookmust notbe used,
since there is risk of causing accidents.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
The ball head tow hook can be
fitted/removed manually without the
need for specific tools.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and maintenance
operations at fixed distance intervals
and, for versions/markets, where
provided, at fixed time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an Alfa
Romeo Dealership according to a set
time schedule. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit consent only.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
operations are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
REGULAR CHECKS
