BONNET
OPENING
22) 23)
Proceed as follows:
inside the passenger compartment
pull the release lever, fig. 38 fig. 39;
go to the outside of the car and
position yourself in front of the grille;
lift the bonnet slightly from right to
left as indicated by the arrow on release
device fig. 40;
raise the bonnet completely: the
operation is facilitated by the presence
of two gas shock absorbers which hold it
the all open position.
Do not tamper with the shock absorber
and accompany the bonnet while lifting it.
CLOSING
22) 24)
To close, lower the bonnet to
approximately 16 in (40 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.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling. Since the bonnet is equipped
with a double locking system, one for
each side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
WARNING
22)Perform these operations only when the
car is stationary.
23)Use both hands to lift the bonnet. Before
lifting, check that the windscreen wiper arms
are not raised from the windscreen or in
operation, that the vehicle is stationary and
that the electric parking brake is engaged.
24)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you discover that the bonnet is
not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

Symbol What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The symbol lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that
the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership if the symbol comes on when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):slow down and, if the warning light stays on,
stop the vehicle. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation,
then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before
turning it off.
DOOR OPEN
The symbol switches on when one or more doors are not completely shut. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and
the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
BONNET NOT PROPERLY SHUT

STARTING AND DRIVING

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
The Lane Departure Warning system
makes use of a camera located on the
windscreen to detect the lane limits and
calculate the position of the vehicle
within such limits, in order to make sure
that it remains inside the lane.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over one
without the driver's say-so (direction
indicator not turned on), the system
emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the surpassed line will
light up on the display (left or right) to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
The system is activated/deactivated by
pressing the button fig. 114
Each time the engine is started, the
system maintains the operating mode
that was selected when it was previously
switched off.Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system becomes
active only if the following conditions are
met:
the car speed is higher than 37 mph
(the system is deactivated at speeds
equal to or higher than 110 mph –
180 km/h);
the lane limit lines are visible at least
on one side;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide radius
bends;
a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active.
IMPORTANT
47)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned, in
order not to cover the camera operating
range.
48)If the windscreen must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively an Alfa Romeo Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the area of the
camera.
49)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
50)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the bonnet
(e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they do
not interfere with the camera
51)The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.

RUN FLAT TYRES
(where provided)
157) 158) 159)
"Run Flat" tyres allow you to maintain
control of the car after a puncture and to
continue driving safely for about 50 mi
(80 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
The reinforced tyre wall retains its shape
and supports the weight of the car in the
event of pressure loss.
Cars equipped with Run Flat tyres are
NOT provided with Tire Repair Kits. For
repair, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible.
WARNING
157)Do not exceed the maximum distance
or speed (80 km - 80 km/h) in the event of
pressure loss-puncture.
158)A pressure loss alters the driving
behaviour of the car, for example, causing
less directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and altered
steering geometry. Therefore, adjust your
driving style to avoid sudden turns or
obstacles such as pavements and potholes.
159)Do not exceed 60 km/h when driving
with an especially heavy trailer.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or a
little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
61)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could break
and explode!
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION
POLES
To facilitate the operation, the remote
poles of the battery for the jump starting
can be found in the engine compartment:
the battery, on the other hand, is placed
in the luggage compartment.
The negative terminal (-) fig. 166 is
positioned next to the right bonnet lock.You can access the positive terminal (+)
by lifting the protective flap fig. 167.
The pole is shown in fig. 168.

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.
