Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLEMATERIALThe catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammablematerial: fire hazard.

RESPECTINGTHE ENVIRONMENTThe vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect theenvironment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, 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.

Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do notcorrespond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles withsteering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position orconstruction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key forgetting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs.

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. Thatnumber recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

LPGTANK

The car has a (pressurised) tank A forstoring LPG in a liquid state. It is toroidaland is located in the spare wheelcompartment with suitable protection.

LPG tank certification

The LPG tank is certified in accordancewith the regulations in force.

In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 yearsstarting from the car registration date. Ifthe vehicle has been registered in acountry other than Italy, the duration andthe testing/inspection procedures of theLPG tank can vary depending on thenational provisions in force in thatcountry. In any case, when the time limitin the individual country has run out, go toan Alfa Romeo Dealership to have thetank replaced.

LPG/PETROL SWITCH

20)

15)

This engine normally runs on LPG exceptduring starting when it runs on petrol.

Switching to LPG takes placeautomatically and is indicated by theswitching-off of icon on the display,next to the letters LPG.

To switch to the other fuel type, press thebutton with the car stationary andengine on, or while driving.

If the LPG runs out during LPG operation,the system automatically switches overto running on petrol.

The four bars near the letters LPG in thedisplay indicate the level of LPG in thetank.

REFUELLING

LPG

Maximum refuelling capacity (includingreserve): 38 litres. The figure alreadytakes into account the 80% tank fillinglimit and the residual fluid required forpriming; this figure represents themaximum permitted capacity. In addition,after different refuelling processes, thisfigure may vary due to differencesbetween the network pump supplypressures, pumps having different

supply/locking features, tank notcompletely run out of fuel.

IMPORTANT In order to avoidinconsistent information by the LPGgauge on the instrument panel, it isrecommended to refill with at least10 litres each time.

WARNING

19)Note that in some countries (includingItaly) there are legal restrictions in force forparking/garagingmotor vehicles fuelled bygas that is denser than air; LPG comes underthis category.20)Do not switch between the twooperatingmodeswhilst starting the engine.21) If gas is smelt, switch from LPGoperation to petrol operation andimmediately go to anAlfa RomeoDealershipto have the vehicle checked and possiblesystem faults excluded.

35 A0K0323C

IMPORTANT

10) The car is equippedwith a specificallydesigned gaseous LPG injection system: it istherefore absolutely forbidden to alter theconfiguration of the systemor itscomponents. The use of other components ormaterials could causemalfunctions and leadto a reduction in safety; therefore, in thecase of problems, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.When towing or lifting thevehicle, follow the instructions in themainhandbook under the paragraph on "Towingthe vehicle" to prevent damage to the gassystemparts.11) The system operates at temperaturesranging between -20°C and 100°C.12)When using a painting oven, the LPGtank should be removed from the car andlater carefully refitted at an Alfa RomeoDealership. Although the LPG system hasnumerous safety features, it is advisable toproceed as follows every time the vehicle isnot in use for a long period ormoved in anemergency as a result of a breakdown oraccident: unscrew the devices fastening thecover of the LPG tank, then remove it. Closethe LPG cock rotating the ring nut clockwise(see "Passive safety / active safety"). Refitthe cover and retighten the fasteningdevices.

13)Only use LPG formotor vehicles.14) It is strictly forbidden to use any additivein the LPG. Periodically (at least once everysixmonths) it is advisable to let the LPG inthe tank run out and, at the first refuelling, tocheck that it does not exceed themaximumcapacity of 38 litres (reserve included) (witha tolerance of 2 litres excess). If the level isabove 38 litres (reserve included) contact anAlfa RomeoDealership immediately.15)When switching is requested, metallicnoise from the valveswhich pressurise thecircuit can be heard. For the switching logicdescribed above, a delay between the valveticking and the switching off of theinstrument panel indication is completelynormal.16) In particular usage conditions, such asstarting and operation at low ambienttemperature or LPG supplywith low propanecontent, the systemmay switch temporarilyto petrol operation, without a visualindication of switching on the instrumentpanel. In the event of low LPG levels in thetank or request for high performance (e.g.overtaking, car fully laden, steep hills) thesystemmay automatically switch to petroloperation to guarantee the engine powerrequested; the greenwarning light on theinstrument panel switches on to indicate this.When the above conditions are no longerpresent, the systemautomatically restoresLPG operation; the greenwarning lightswitches off. To achieve the automaticswitching described above,make sure thatthere is always enough fuel in the petrol tank.

WARNING LIGHTSANDMESSAGES

IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal whenapplicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternativeto the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to theinformation in this section in the event of a failure indication.

IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults areindicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of themalfunction is eliminated.

DEGRADED ENGINE OIL (for versions/markets, where provided)The warning light will turn on flashing together with a dedicated message on thedisplay (for versions/markets where provided).Depending on the versions, the warning light flashing modes are as follows:- for 1 minute every two hours;- for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil ischanged.After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light willcontinue to flash in the same mode, until the oil is changed. A specific message willappear on the display (for versions/markets, where provided) in addition to thewarning light. If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault, butsimply informs that it is now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use ofthe car. Engine oil deterioration is accelerated by:- mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process morefrequent;- use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reachits regular operating temperature;- repeated interruptions of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF warninglight switching on.

WARNING

22) If the warning light does not switch onwhen the ignition device ismoved toONor if it stays onwhen driving (together with themessage onthe display), theremight be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensionersmay not deploy in the event of an accident or,in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to have the system checkedimmediately.23)A fault with thewarning light is signalled by illumination of the icon on the instrument panel display and by the flashing of passengerairbag disabledwarning light on the rearviewmirror. In addition, the airbag systemautomatically disables the airbag on the passenger's side (forversions/marketswhere provided). In this case, thewarning lightmay not indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding,contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to have the system checked immediately.24) If thewarning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drivemore than 500 km from the firstswitching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the abovemay result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate thewarranty. Rememberthatwhen this warning light comes on, it does notmean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes youmust not top up the engine oil.25) If thewarning light flasheswith the car inmotion, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.26) If thewarning light (or the icon on the display) flasheswhilst driving, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.27)Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, theweather and traffic regulations. The enginemay be switched off even if the

warning light is on: repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of engine oil. For this reason it isalways advisable towait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine, following the instructions above. Do not complete theDPFregeneration processwhen the vehicle is stopped.

IMPORTANT

17) If the warning light switches onwhen driving, stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.18) If, turning the ignition device toMAR, thewarning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashingwhen travelling (on someversions together with themessage on the display), contact an Alfa RomeoDealership as soon as possible.19) The presence ofwater in the fuel system circuitmay cause severe damage to the injection systemand irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact an Alfa RomeoDealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately

after refuelling, water has probably been introduced into the tank: stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.

ACTIVE SAFETYSYSTEMS

ABSSYSTEM

This system, which is an integral part ofthe braking system, prevents one or morewheels from locking and slipping in allroad surface conditions, irrespective ofthe intensity of the braking action,ensuring that the vehicle can becontrolled even during emergencybraking and optimising stoppingdistances.

System intervention

The driver can feel that the ABS systemhas come into action because the brakepedal pulsates slightly and the systemgets noisier: this is entirely normal withthe system operating.

33) 34) 35) 36) 37) 38) 39)

ASR (AntiSlip Regulation) SYSTEM

40) 41) 42)

This is an integral part of the ESC systemand automatically operates in the eventof one or both drive wheels slipping, lossof grip on wet roads (aquaplaning) andacceleration on slippery, snowy or icyroads, etc.

System intervention

The system operates on the enginepower and brakes.

This is indicated by the flashing of thewarning light on the instrument panel,to inform the driver that the car is incritical stability and grip conditions.

MSR (Motor SchleppmomentRegelung) SYSTEMThe system prevents the drive wheelsfrom possibly locking, which couldhappen, for example, if the acceleratorpedal is released suddenly or in the caseof a sudden downshifting in conditions ofpoor grip.

In this conditions, the engine brakingeffect could cause the drive wheels toslip, resulting in a loss of vehicle stability.In these situations, the systemintervenes, restoring torque to theengine in order to conserve vehiclestability and increase vehicle safety.

HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist) SYSTEM

43) 44) 45)

The HBA system is designed to improvethe car’s braking capacity duringemergency braking: the HBA systemtherefore completes the ABS system.

Maximum assistance from the HBAsystem is obtained by continuouslypressing the brake pedal very quickly.

DSTSYSTEM (Dynamic SteeringTorque)

46)

The DST function uses the integration ofthe ESC system with the electric powersteering to increase the safety level ofthe whole vehicle.

In critical situations (braking on surfaceswith different grip conditions), throughthe DST function the ESC systemcontrols the steering to implement anadditional torque contribution on thesteering wheel, to suggest the mostcorrect manoeuvre to the driver.

The coordinated action of the brakes andsteering increases the sensation ofsafety and control of the vehicle.

EBDSYSTEMThe EBD system is an integral part of theESC system and intervenes duringbraking, distributing the brake forceoptimally between front and rear wheels.

This guarantees greater braking stabilityfor the car, preventing sudden locking ofthe rear wheels and the consequentinstability of the car.

ESC SYSTEM

The ESC system improves the directionalcontrol and stability of the car in variousdriving conditions.

60

SA

FE

TY

The ESC system corrects the car’sundersteer and oversteer, distributingthe brake force on the appropriatewheels. The torque supplied by theengine can also be reduced in order tomaintain control of the vehicle.

28) 29) 30) 31) 32)

The ESC system comprises the activesafety systems such as: ABS, EBD, ASR,HILL HOLDER, etc.

The ESC system switches onautomatically when the engine is startedand cannot be switched off.

System intervention

This is indicated by the flashing of thewarning light on the instrument panel,to inform the driver that the car is incritical stability and grip conditions.

CBC (Cornering Brake Control) SYSTEMThis system acts when braking oncorners, optimising the distribution ofbrake pressure on the four wheels: thesystem prevents the wheels on the insideof the corner (less affected by the weightof the car) from locking, ensuring betterstability and direction for the car.

HILL HOLDERSYSTEM

This is an integral part of the ESC systemand facilitates starting on uphill ordownhill slopes by operating the brakes:

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system isnot a parking brake; therefore, neverleave the car without having engaged thehandbrake, turned the engine off andengaged first gear, so that it is parked insafe conditions (for further informationread the "Parking" paragraph in the"Starting and driving" chapter).

IMPORTANT There may be situations onsmall gradients (less than 8%), with carladen, in which the Hill Holder systemmay not activate, causing a slightreversing motion and increasing the riskof collision with another vehicle or object.The driver is, in any case, responsible forsafe driving.

“ELECTRONIC Q2” SYSTEM (“E-Q2”)The "Electronic Q2" system intervenesduring acceleration on corners, brakingthe inner drive wheel and thus increasingthe traction of the outer wheel (whichbears more of the car’s weight): thetorque is thus distributed optimallybetween the drive wheels in accordancewith the driving conditions and roadsurface, permitting particularly effective,sporty driving.

"PRE-FILL" SYSTEM (RAB - Ready AlertBrake)(only with 'Dynamic" mode activated)

This function activates automatically ifthe accelerator pedal is released rapidly,reducing the brake pad travel (both at

front and back), with the aim of preparingthe braking system and enhancing itsresponsiveness, thus reducing thestopping distance in the event ofsubsequent braking.

WARNING

28) The ESC system cannot alter the naturallaws of physics, and cannot increase grip,which depends on the condition of the road.29) The ESC system cannot preventaccidents, including those due to excessivespeed on corners, driving on low-gripsurfaces or aquaplaning.30) The capability of the ESC systemmustnever be tested irresponsibly anddangerously, in such away as to compromisepersonal safety and the safety of others.31) For the correct operation of the ASRsystem, the tyresmust of necessity be thesamemake and type on all wheels, in perfectcondition and, above all, of the prescribedtype and dimensions.32)Do not take unnecessary risks, even ifyour vehicle is fittedwith the ESC andASRsystems. Your driving stylemust always besuited to the road conditions, visibility andtraffic. The driver is always responsible forroad safety.33)When the ABS intervenes and you feelthe brake pedal pulsating, do not reduce thepressure, but hold it down firmly andconfidently; in doing so youwill brake in theshortest distance possible, depending on thecurrent road conditions.

iTPMSSystem (indirect TyrePressureMonitoring System)(for versions/markets, where provided)

DESCRIPTION

The car can be equipped with the iTPMS(indirect Tyre Pressure MonitoringSystem) which monitors the tyre inflationstatus thanks to wheel speed sensors.

The system warns the driver if one ormore tyres are flat by the dedicatedwarning light continuously on and awarning message on the display.

If one tyre only is flat, the system canindicate its position: it is in any caserecommended to check the pressure onall four tyres.

This indication is displayed also whenturning the engine off and on again untilthe RESET procedure is carried out.

RESETPROCEDURE

The iTPMS needs an initial "self-learning"phase (with length depending on thedriving style and road conditions: optimalconditions being driving on a straightroad at 80 km/h for at least 20 minutes)which starts when the RESET procedureis carried out.

The Reset procedure must be carried out:each time tyre pressure is modified;when even only one tyre is changed;when tyres are rotated/inverted;

62

SA

FE

TY

when the space-saver wheel is fitted.

Before carrying out the RESET, inflatethe tyres to the rated pressure valuesspecified in the inflation pressure table(see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technicalspecifications" chapter).

If the RESET is not carried out, in allabove cases, the warning light maygive false indications on one or moretyres.

To carry out the RESET, with the carstopped and the ignition key at MAR-ON,press the button fig. 40 on thedashboard for 2 seconds; after theRESET, the display shows a dedicatedmessage, indicating that "self-learning"has started.

OPERATING CONDITIONS

47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)

The system is active for speeds above15 km/h.

In a few situations such as sporty driving,particular conditions of the road surface(e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced roads) thesignalling may be delayed or partial indetecting the contemporary deflation ofmore than one tyre.

Under special conditions (e.g. vehicleloaded asymmetrically on one side,towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snowchains, fitting different tyres on theaxles) the system may give falseindications or be temporarilydeactivated.

If the system is temporarily deactivated,the warning light flashes for about75 seconds and then is continuously on;at the same time, the display shows adedicated message.

This indication is displayed also after theengine has been switched off and then onagain if the correct operating conditionsare not restored.

IMPORTANTNOTES

WARNING

47) If the system signals a pressuredecrease on a specific tyre, it isrecommended to check the pressure on allfour tyres.48) The iTPMSdoes not relieve the driverfrom the obligation to check the tyrepressure everymonth; it is not to beconsidered a system to replacemaintenanceor a safety system.49) Tyre pressuremust be checkedwithtyres cold. Should it become necessary forwhatever reason to check pressurewithwarm tyres, do not reduce pressure eventhough it is higher than the prescribed value,but repeat the checkwhen tyres are cold.50) The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyrepressure drops (for examplewhen a tyrebursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, brakingwith caution and avoiding abrupt steering.51) The system only warns that the tyrepressure is low: it is not able to inflate them.52) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuelconsumption, reduces the tread duration andmay affect the capacity to drive safely.

SEATBELTS

USINGTHE SEATBELTSThe belt should be worn keeping thetorso straight and rested against thebackrest.

To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue1 fig. 41 and insert it into the buckle 3,until it clicks into place.

On removal of the belt, if it jams, let itrewind for a short stretch, then pull it outagain without jerking.

To unfasten the seat belts, press button2 and guide the seat belt with your handwhile it is rewinding, to prevent it fromtwisting. 53)

The retractor may lock when the vehicleis parked on a steep slope: this isperfectly normal. Furthermore, the reelmechanism locks the belt if it is pulled

sharply or in the event of sudden braking,collisions and high-speed bends.

The rear seat is fitted with inertia seatbelts with three anchor points and aretractor.

Wear the rear seat belts as illustrated infig. 42.

IMPORTANT The backrest is correctlysecured when the red band 1 fig. 43 onthe backrest folding handles2 disappears. This red band indicatesthat the backrest is not secured.

IMPORTANT When putting the rear seatsback to their normal position, make surethe seat belts are positioned so they areready to use. 55)

WARNING

53)Never press button 2when travelling.54)Remember that, in the event of anaccident, the rear seat passengers notwearing seat belts are exposed to a veryserious risk and also represent a seriousdanger for the front seat occupants.55)Make sure that the backrest is correctlysecured on both sides (red bands not visible)to prevent it frommoving forward in theevent of sharp braking, causing injuries tooccupants.

SBRSYSTEM (Seat BeltReminder)This system comprises an acousticwarning which, in conjunction with thewarning lights flashing on theinstrument panel, warns the front seatpassengers if their seat belt has not beenfastened.

On some versions there is also a panelfig. 44 (provided as an alternative to thewarning light on the instrument panel)located above the rear-view mirror, whichwarns the front and back seatpassengers via acoustic and visualsignals if their seat belts have not beenfastened.

Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership todeactivate this acoustic warningpermanently.

The acoustic warning can be reactivatedat any time through the Setup Menu (see

"Menu options" paragraph in the“Knowing the instrument panel” chapter).

The warning lights fig. 44 may be red orgreen and operate as follows:

1 = front left seat (driver status forleft-hand drive versions)

2 = rear left seat (passenger);3 = rear centre seat (passenger)4 = rear right seat (passenger);5 = front right seat (passenger status

for left-hand drive versions).

FRONTSEATS (warning light 1 = driverand 5 = passenger)

Driver

If the driver is the only occupant and theseat belt is not fastened, when 20 km/his exceeded or when travelling at a speedfrom 10 to 20 km/h for longer than5 seconds, a buzzer sequence will bestarted (front seats) consisting of a tonefor 6 seconds followed by a 90 secondbeep.The warning light will blink.

The warning lights will stay on constantlyat the end of the cycle until the engine isstopped. The acoustic signal will beinterrupted immediately when thedriver’s seat belt is fastened and thewarning light will turn green.

The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual)will be repeated as described above andthe red warning light will flash if the seatbelt is unfastened again while travelling.

Passenger

A similar solution applies for the frontpassenger, with the difference that thewarning light turns green and the signal isinterrupted also when the passengerleaves the car.

It both front seat belts are unfastenedwhile the vehicle is travelling a fewseconds apart, the acoustic indicationwill refer to the most recent event andthe two warning lights will proceed withthe visual indication independently.

REARSEATS (warning light 2, 3 and 4)

The reminder cycle is run only when anyseat belt is unfastened (red blinking).

In this condition, the warning light for theseat belt which has been unfastened willstart flashing red for approximately30 seconds. An acoustic signal is alsoemitted.

The visual indication (blinking red) willstart and end independently for eachwarning light if several seat belts areunfastened. The warning light willbecome green when the relevant seatbelt is fastened again.

After about 30 seconds from the lastindication, the warning lights for rearseats will switch off, irrespective of thebelt conditions (red or green).

44 A0K0075C

65

IMPORTANTNOTES

All warning lights will remain off if all theseat belts (front and rear) are alreadyfastened when the key it turned to MAR.

All the warning lights will come on whenat least one belt changes from fastenedto unfastened status or vice versa.

PRE-TENSIONERS

56) 57)

The vehicle is equipped with front seatbelt pretensioners, which draw back theseat belts by several centimetres in theevent of a strong frontal impact. Thisguarantees the perfect adherence of theseat belts to the occupant's bodiesbefore the retention action begins.

It is evident that the pretensioners haveoperated when the belt withdrawstoward the retractor.

This car is also equipped with a secondpretensioner (fitted in the kick platearea). Its activation is signalled by theshortening of the metal cable.

A slight discharge of smoke may beproduced during the activation of thepretensioner which is not harmful anddoes not involve any fire hazard.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highestdegree of protection from the action ofthe pretensioner, wear the seat belt tightto the chest and pelvis.

The pretensioner does not require anymaintenance or lubrication: any changesto its original conditions will invalidate itsefficiency. If, due to unusual naturalevents (floods, sea storms, etc.), thedevice has been affected by water and/ormud, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealershipto have it replaced.

LOAD LIMITERSTo increase passenger safety, the frontseat belt reels contain a load limiterwhich allows the force acting on the chestand shoulders to be modulated during thebelt restraining action in the event of afrontal impact.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FORUSINGTHE SEATBELTS

Respect and ensure that all the otheroccupants of the vehicle comply with thelocal laws in force regarding the use ofseat belts. Always fasten the seat beltsbefore starting off.

58) 59)

Seat belts must also be worn by pregnantwomen: the risk of injury in the event ofan accident is reduced for them and theunborn child if they are wearing a seatbelt.

Pregnant women must position the lowerpart of the belt very low down so that itpasses over the pelvis and under theabdomen fig. 45.

66

SA

FE

TY

The belt must not be twisted. The upperpart must pass over the shoulder andcross the chest diagonally. The lower partmust adhere to the pelvis fig. 46, not tothe abdomen of the occupant. Never usedevices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold theseat belt away from your body.

Each seat belt must be used by only oneperson. Never travel with a child sittingon a passenger’s lap using a single belt to

protect them both fig. 47. In general, donot place any objects between the personand the belt.

SEATBELTSMAINTENANCEAlways use the seat belt well

stretched and never twisted; make surethat it is free to run without obstructions;

replace the belt after an accident of acertain severity even if it does not appearto be damaged. Always replace the belt ifthe pretensioners were deployed;

check seat belt operation as follows:attach the seat belt and pull it hard;

prevent the retractors from gettingwet: their correct operation is onlyguaranteed if water does not get inside;

replace the seat belt when there iswear or cuts.

WARNING

56) The pretensionermay be used only once.After its activation, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to have it replaced.57)Removing or tamperingwith seat beltand pretensioner components is strictlyprohibited. Any intervention on thesecomponentsmust be performed by qualifiedand authorised technicians. Always contacta dedicated Alfa RomeoDealership.58) Formaximum safety, keep the backrestupright, lean back into it andmake sure theseat belt fits closely across your chest andpelvis. Always fasten the seat belts for boththe front and rear seats! Travellingwithoutwearing seat belts will increase the risk ofserious injury and even death in the event ofan accident.59) If the belt has been subjected to highlevels of stress, for example after anaccident, it should be changed completelytogether with the attachments, attachmentfixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,even if the belt has no visible defects, it mayhave lost its resilience.

IMPORTANT

20)Operations which lead to impacts,vibrations or localised heating (over 100°Cfor amaximumof six hours) in the areaaround the pretensionermay cause damageormake it deploy. Contact an Alfa RomeoDealership should intervention be necessaryon these components.

CARRYING CHILDRENSAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of animpact, all occupants must be seated andwearing adequate restraint systems,including newborn and other children!

This prescription is compulsory in all ECcountries according to EC Directive2003/20/EC.

Children below the height of 1.50 metresand up to 12 years must be protectedwith suitable restraint systems and beseated on the rear seats. Statistics onaccidents indicate that the rear seatsoffer greater safety for children.

Compared with an adult, a child's head islarger and heavier in proportion to theirbody and the child's muscular and bonestructures are not fully developed.Therefore, correct restraint systemsother than adult seat belts are necessaryto reduce as much as possible the risk ofinjuries in case of accident, braking orsudden manoeuvre.

Children must be seated safely andcomfortably. Depending on thecharacteristics of the child restraintsystems used, you are advised to keepchildren in rearward facing child restraintsystems for as long as possible (at leastuntil 3-4 years old), since this is the mostprotected position in the event of animpact. 60) 61) 62) 63)

The choice of the most suitable childrestraint device depends on the weight ofthe child; there are various types of childrestraint systems and you are advisedalways to choose the one that is mostsuitable for the child.

When over 1.50 m in height, from thepoint of view of restraint systems,children are considered as adults andwear seat belts normally.

In Europe the characteristics of childrestraint systems are ruled by theregulation ECE-R44, dividing them intofive weight groups:

Group Weight groups

Group 0up to 10 kg in

weight

Group 0+up to 13 kg in

weight

Group 1 9-18 kg

Group 2 15-25 kg

Group 3 22 - 36 kg

All restraint devices must bear thecertification data, together with thecontrol mark, on a label solidly fixed tothe child restraint system which mustnever be removed.

Lineaccessori MOPAR®includes child

restraint systems for each weight group.

These devices are recommended havingbeen specifically tested for Alfa Romeocars.

WARNING

60)SEVEREDANGERWhen a frontpassenger airbag is fitted, do not installrearward facing child restraint systems onthe front passenger seat. Deployment of theairbag in an accident could cause fatalinjuries to the child regardless of theseverity of the collision. It is advisable toalways carry children in a child restraintsystemon the rear seat, which is themostprotected position in the event of a collision.61)On the sun visor there is a label withsuitable symbols reminding the user that it iscompulsory to deactivate the airbag if arearward facing child restraint system isfitted. Always complywith the instructionson the passenger side sun visor (see the"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -Airbag" paragraph).62)Should it be necessary to carry a child onthe passenger side front seat in a rear facingchild restraint system, the passenger sidefront airbag and side bagmust bedeactivated through the displaymainmenu(see the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing theinstrument panel" chapter), verifyingdeactivation by checkingwhether theOFF LED has switched on in the trim

(*) IMPORTANT: NEVER fit a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat if the airbag is active. If you wish to fit a rearward-facing child seatin the front passenger seat, first deactivate the relative airbag (see instructions in the paragraph (Supplementary protection system (SRS) –Airbag”)

U (**) With a height adjustable seat, put the backrest in the vertical position.U= suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” category, according to European Standard EEC-R44 for the specified “Groups”.

WARNING

64)Child restraint systemswith Isofix attachments are available for a safe anchoring to the seatwithout using the car seat belts. See paragraph"Isofix child restraint system setup" for the fitting instructions.65) The diagram is indicative and for fitting purposes only. Fit the child restraint systemaccording to the instructions, whichmust be included.66)When the child restraint system is not used, secure it with the seat belt or with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do notleave it unsecured inside the passenger compartment. In this way, in the case of sudden braking or an accident, it will not cause injuries to theoccupants.67)After installing a child restraint system, do notmove the seat: always remove the child restraint systembeforemaking any adjustment.68)Alwaysmake sure that the diagonal section of the seat belt does not pass under the arms or behind the back of the child. In the event of anaccident the seat belt will not be able to secure the child, with the risk of injury, including fatal injury. Therefore the childmust alwayswear the seatbelt correctly.69) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint systemmay result in an inefficient protection system. In the event of an accident the child restraintsystemmay become loose and the childmay be injured, even fatally.When fitting a restraint system for newborns or children, strictly complywiththe instructions provided by theManufacturer.

71

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINTSYSTEMSETUPThe vehicle is equipped with ISOFIXanchorages, a new standard which makesfitting a child restraint system quick,simple and safe.

Traditional child restraint systems can befitted alongside Isofix child restraintsystems on different seats in the samecar.

As an example, fig. 52 shows an exampleof a Universal Isofix child restraintsystem for weight group 1. 65)

The other weight groups are covered byspecific Isofix child restraint systems,which can be used only if specificallytested for this car (see list of carsprovided with the child restraint system).

IMPORTANT The central rear seat is notapproved for any type of Isofix childrestraint system.

INSTALLINGAUNIVERSAL ISOFIXCHILD RESTRAINTSYSTEMProceed as follows:

attach the child restraint system tothe special lower metal rings 2 fig. 53,located inside the rear seat backrest (toaccess the rings lift hinge 1);

secure the upper belt (availabletogether with the child restraint system)to the special attachments 1fig. 54 located in the rear part of thebackrest.

It is possible to have a mixed assembly oftraditional child restraint systems andUniversal Isofix ones. Remember thatwhen using a Universal Isofix childrestraint system, you can only useapproved child restraint systems withthe marking ECE R44 (R44/03 orsuperior) “Universal Isofix”.

Main recommendations to carrychildren safely

Install the child restraint systems onthe rear seat, which is the most protectedposition in the event of an impact.

Keep children in rearward facing childrestraint systems for as long as possible,at least until 3–4 years old.

Should a rearward facing childrestraint system be installed on the rearseats, it is advisable to position it as farforward as the position of the front seatallows.

If the passenger side front airbag isdeactivated always check the permanentswitching on of the warning light inthe trim above the interior rear viewmirror to make sure that it has actuallybeen deactivated.

Carefully follow the instructionssupplied with the child restraint systemitself. Keep the instructions in the vehiclealong with the other documents and thishandbook. Do not use second-hand childrestraint systems without instructions.

Only one child is to be strapped intoeach restraint system; never carry twochildren simultaneously.

Always check that the seat belts donot rest on the child’s neck.

Always check that the seat belt is wellfastened by pulling on it.

While travelling, do not let the child sitincorrectly or unfasten the belts.

Never allow a child to put the belt'sdiagonal section under an arm or behindtheir back.

Never carry children on your lap, evennewborns. No one can hold a child in thecase of an accident.

In the event of an accident, replace thechild restraint system with a new one. Inaddition, and depending on the type ofchild restraint system installed, replacethe seat belt with which the childrestraint system was connected.

WARNING

FRONTAIRBAGS

“SMARTBAG” SYSTEM (MULTISTAGEFRONTAIRBAGS)The car features multistage front airbags(“Smart bag”) for driver and passenger.

The front driver/passenger airbags aredesigned to protect occupants in theevent of frontal impacts of medium-highseverity, by placing the bag between theoccupant and the steering wheel ordashboard.

Therefore non-activation in other typesof collisions (side collisions, rear shunts,roll-overs, etc.) is not a systemmalfunction.

Airbags are not a replacement of butcomplementary to the seat belts, whichyou are recommended to always wear. Inthe event of impact, those not wearing aseat belt are projected forwards and maycome into contact with the bag which isstill inflating. The protection offered bythe bag is compromised in thesecircumstances.

76) 77) 79)

Front airbags may not activate in thefollowing situations:

frontal impacts against highlydeformable objects not involving thefront surface of the car (e.g. wing collisionagainst guard rail, etc.);

jamming of the car underneath othervehicles or protective barriers (e.g.underneath a truck or a guard rail) as, inthis case, the bags would offer noadditional protection with respect to theseat belt and their deployment would beinappropriate. Failure to activate in theconditions described above is due to thefact that they may not provide anyadditional protection compared with seatbelts, so their activation would beinappropriate. In these cases,non-deployment does not indicate asystem malfunction.

FRONTAIRBAGDRIVER'S SIDEThis consists of an instantly inflating bagcontained in a special compartment in thecentre of the steering wheel fig. 55.

Deactivating passenger side airbags:front airbag and side bag for pelvis,chest and shoulders protection (Sidebag)

If a child must be carried on the front seatin a rear facing child restraint system,deactivate the passenger side frontairbag and side bag for pelvis, chest andshoulder protection (Side bag). Todeactivate the airbags use the displayMenu (see the instructions in the"Display" paragraph, "Knowing theinstrument panel" chapter).

With airbags deactivated, a warning lightlights up on the instrument panel in

the trim located above the internalrearview mirror fig. 58.

With front passenger airbag on, when theignition key is turned to MAR, the warninglight switches on constantly for severalseconds and then it should switch off.

If the warning light flashes, thisindicates a fault in the warning light .Before proceeding, contact an AlfaRomeo Dealership to have the systemchecked immediately.

On moving the ignition device to MAR,the warning light switches on for afew seconds. If not, contact an AlfaRomeo Dealership. During the firstseconds, the activation of the warninglight does not actually show thepassenger protection status, but onlytests its correct operation. After a test ofa few seconds, the warning light willindicate the status of the passengerairbag protection.

Passenger's protection active: warninglight off.

Passenger protection deactivated: theOFF: the warning light switches onwith a steady light.

The warning light may light up withvarious intensity levels depending on thevehicle conditions. The intensity may varyduring the same key cycle.

WARNING

76)Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steeringwheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on side upholstery on the roofor on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard since they could interferewith correct inflation of theairbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.77)Always drive keeping your hands on the steeringwheel rim so the airbag can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drivewith your body bentforward. Keep the back of your seat upright and lean back into it.78)When there is an active passenger airbag, DONOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front seat. Deployment of the airbagin an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the impact. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger sideairbagwhen a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seatmust also be positionedback as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate thepassenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.79) To deactivate the airbags, see the “Knowing your car” section, “Menu items” paragraph.80)A failure of the warning light is indicated by the warning light switching on. In addition, the airbag systemautomatically disables theairbag on the passenger's side (for versions/marketswhere provided). Before proceeding, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to have the systemchecked immediately.

Non-activation of side bags in othertypes of collisions (front collisions, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a systemmalfunction.

FRONTSIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE BAGS)These comprise two types of bagslocated in the front seat backrestsfig. 60 which protect the pelvic, chest andshoulder area of the occupants in theevent of a side impact of medium-highseverity.

SIDE AIRBAGS FORHEADPROTECTION(WINDOWBAGS)These consist of two “drop-down”cushions, housed behind the side trim ofthe roof and covered with finishingelements fig. 61.

They are designed to protect the head offront and rear occupants in the event of aside collision, thanks to the wide cushioninflation surface.

The deployment of side bags in the eventof side impacts of low severity is notrequired.

The airbags are not deployed in the eventof impact of low severity (for which therestraining action of the seat belts issufficient). It is therefore alwaysnecessary to wear seat belts.

In the event of a side impact, the systemprovides best protection if the passenger

sits on the seat in a correct position, thusallowing correct window bag deployment.

IMPORTANTNOTES

Do not wash the seats with water orpressurised steam (wash by hand or atautomatic seat washing stations).

The front and/or side bags may activatein the event of sharp knocks to theunderbody of the car (e.g. impact withsteps, pavements, potholes or roadbumps etc.).

When the airbag deploys it emits a smallamount of dust: the dust is harmless anddoes not indicate the beginning of a fire.However, the dust may irritate the skinand eyes: in this case, wash with neutralsoap and water.

Airbag checking, repair and replacementmust be carried out at an Alfa RomeoDealership.

If the car is scrapped, have the airbagsystem deactivated at an Alfa RomeoDealership.

Pretensioners and airbags are deployedaccording to different logic on the basisof the type of collision. Failure to activateone or more of the devices does notindicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

81)Do not affix rigid objects to the garmenthooks or support handles.82)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows onthe door, windows or the area inwhich theWindowbag is located to avoid possibleinjury during airbag inflation.83)Never lean your head, arms or elbowsout of thewindow.84) If the warning light does not switchonwhen the key is turned toMAR, or staysonwhile driving (on some versions togetherwith amessage on the display) theremay bea fault in the restraint systems. In this case,airbags or pretensionersmay not beactivated in the case of an accident or (in alesser number of cases) theymay beactivated incorrectly. Before proceeding,contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to havethe system checked immediately.85)Do not travel carrying objects on yourlap, in front of your chest or between yourlips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could causesevere injury if the airbag is deployed.86) If the car has been subject to theft,attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,have the airbag system inspected at an AlfaRomeoDealership.

87) The airbagsmay also be deployedwhenthe car is notmoving, if the key is in theignition and turned toMAR-ONorwhen theengine is off, if the car is hit by anothermoving vehicle. Therefore, even if the vehicleis stationary, when an active frontpassenger airbag is fitted, DONOT installrearward facing child restraint systems onthe front passenger seat. Deployment of theairbag following an impact could cause fatalinjuries to the child. Therefore, alwaysdeactivate the passenger side airbagwhen arearward facing child restraint system isinstalled on the front passenger seat. Thefront passenger seatmust also bepositioned back as far as possible in order toprevent the child restraint system fromcoming into contact with the dashboard.Immediately reactivate the passengerairbag as soon as the child restraint systemhas been removed. Also remember that, ifthe key is turned to STOP, none of the safetydevices (airbags or pretensioners) will bedeployed in the event of collision.Non-deployment in such cases does notindicate a systemmalfunction.88)When the ignition key is turned toMAR,the warning light switches for fewseconds, then if the passenger airbag isactive it should switch off.89) The front airbag is designed to bedeployed for impacts of a greater intensitythan for the pretensioners. For impactswhose intensity falls between the two levels,normally, only the pretensionerswill beactivated.

90) The airbag does not replace seat beltsbut increases their efficiency. Because frontairbags are not deployed for low-speedcrashes, side collisions, rear-end shunts orrollovers, occupants are protected, inaddition to any side bags, only by their seatbelts, whichmust therefore always befastened.91)On cars with side bags, do not cover thefront seat backrestswith extra covers.

21) 22) 23)

Proceed as follows:engage the handbrake and place the

gear lever in neutral;turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON

position. ONLY FOR DIESEL VERSIONS:The instrument panel warning lightcomes on and the icon appears onthe display.

wait for the warning lights to switchoff;

fully depress the clutch pedal, withouttouching the accelerator;

turn the ignition key to AVV andrelease it as soon as the engine starts.

If, with the ignition key turned to MAR,the icon on the display stays ontogether with the warning light , turn

the key to STOP and then back to MAR. Ifthe icon continues to stay on, try with theother keys provided with the car. Contactan Alfa Romeo Dealership if the enginestill does not start.

Never leave the ignition key inMAR-ON position when the engine isstopped.

ENGINEMINIMUMOIL LEVELINDICATION

(where provided)

When the ignition key is turned to MARthe display shows a warning message, fora few seconds, if the engine oil is at theminimum level.

IMPORTANT To perform the engine oilreading correctly, after turning theignition key to MAR wait for about2 seconds before starting the engine.

WARNING

92) It is dangerous to run the engine inenclosed areas. The engine takes in oxygenand releases carbon dioxide, carbonmonoxide and other toxic gases.93) The brake servo is not active until theengine is started, so youwould need to applymuchmore force than usual to the brakepedal.94)Do not start the engine by pushing,towing or driving downhill. Thesemanoeuvresmay damage the catalyticconverter.

IMPORTANT

21)We recommend that during the initialperiod, or during the first 1600 km(1000miles), you do not drive to full carperformance (e.g. excessive acceleration,long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,etc.).22)When the engine is switched off neverleave the ignition device in theMARpositionto prevent useless current absorption fromdraining the battery.23)Aquick burst on the accelerator beforeturning off the engine serves absolutely nopractical purpose; it wastes fuel and isdamaging for the engine.24)Warning light will flash after startingor during prolonged cranking to indicate afault with the glow plug heating system. Ifthe engine starts, the vehicle can be regularlyused, but an Alfa RomeoDealershipmust becontacted as soon as possible.

HANDBRAKETo engage the handbrake, pull lever 2fig. 62 upwards until the car is secured.

When the handbrake is engaged and theignition key is on MAR-ON, theinstrument panel warning light willswitch on.

To release it, raise lever 2 slightly, holddown button 1 and lower the lever: thewarning light on the instrumentpanel switches off.

95) 96)

IMPORTANT Carry out thesemanoeuvres with the brake pedalpressed.

IMPORTANT For cars equipped with afront armrest, lift it up to ensure that itdoes not interfere with the action of thehandbrake.

WARNING

95)Never leave children unattended in thecar. Always remove the key from the ignitionwhen leaving the car and take it with you.96) The car should be braked after a fewclicks of the parking brake: if this is not so,contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to have itadjusted. Always park the car safely asindicated by theHighwayCode and asdescribed above.

TWIN CLUTCHTRANSMISSION


SELECTOR LEVER

The lever has the following positions:P = ParkR = ReverseN = NeutralD = Drive, (automatic forward speed)+ = Sequential upshifting− = Sequential downshifting

If the lever is used in sequential mode,moving the latter from D to the left, thepositions towards + or – are unstable.

The lever has a button A, which must bepressed to move the lever to P or R.

Shifting from D to "Sequential mode" andvice versa is free.

Shifting from D to N is free.

Shifting from N to R and from R to P ispossible only with button on gear leverpressed.

STARTINGTHE ENGINE

Starting is only permitted with gear leverin position P or N (with or without brakepedal pressed).

On starting, the system is at N or P (thelatter means neutral, but with the car’swheels locked mechanically).

62 A0K0615C

83

Start&Stop system

With car at a standstill and Start&Stopsystem activated, the engine switchesoff if the gear lever is in a position otherthan R (to allow parking).

In the event of stops uphill, the engineswitching off is disabled to activate the"Hill Holder" function (except on gentleslopes and if the brake pedal is not fullypressed).

The engine restarts automatically if:the brake pedal is released (and the

lever is not at N or P)shifting the lever to an unstable

position +, - or R;the lever is shifted from D to the left in

"Sequential mode"the "+" or "–" paddles on the steering

wheel (for versions/markets, whereprovided) are used

VEHICLE SHUTDOWN

Engine can be switched off in anyposition of the gear lever.

Versions with Start&Stop system

To switch the engine off, you need to stopthe car by pressing the brake pedalproperly; if the pressure is not enough,the engine will not be switched off.

This feature can be exploited so that theengine does not switch off in particulartraffic conditions.

REMOVINGTHE IGNITIONKEY

28)

The ignition key can be removed only ifthe gear lever is in position P.

To remove the key, turn it to MAR andthen to STOP.

MOVINGTHE CAR

To move the car, from P press the brakepedal and, using the button on the gearlever, move the lever to the desiredposition (D, R or "Sequential mode").

The display will show the gear engaged.

When the brake pedal is released, the carstarts moving forwards or backwards, assoon as the manoeuvre is activated("creeping" effect). The acceleratorshould not be pressed in this case.

IMPORTANT The inconsistency betweenthe speed actually engaged (shown onthe display) and the position of the gearlever is indicated by the lettercorresponding to the position of the leverflashing on the trim (also accompanied byan acoustic signal).

This condition should not be interpretedas an operational fault, but simply as arequest by the system to repeat themanoeuvre.

IMPORTANT With handbrake releasedand brake pedal released, engine at idlingspeed and gear lever in position D, R or

sequential, pay the utmost care becausethe car can move even without theoperation of the accelerator pedal. Thiscondition can be used with the car on alevel surface during tight parkingmanoeuvres using the brake pedal only.

AUTOMATIC DRIVINGMODE

D can be selected from sequentialoperation in any driving conditions.

In automatic driving mode, the best ratiois selected by the electronic transmissioncontrol unit depending on speed, engineload (accelerator pedal position) andgradient of the road.

“Kick-Down” function

To resume speed quickly, when theaccelerator pedal is pressed fully, thetransmission control system downshifts("Kick-down" function).

IMPORTANT When driving on roads withpoor grip conditions (snow, ice, etc.) avoidactivating the kick-down function.

Integration with "Alfa DNA" system

With the “Alfa DNA” system 1 fig. 63,three different driving modes can beselected:

“Dynamic”: gear changes at higherengine speeds. It enhances sporty driving;

“Natural”: gear changes at low enginespeeds. It enhances comfort and reducesconsumption;

“All Weather”: driving programme onroads with poor grip (e.g. snow, ice, mud,etc.).

Gearshifting suggestion

With the transmission in automatic mode(selector lever in position D), whengearshifting is required by the paddles onthe steering wheel (for versions/markets,where provided), the system shifts to"Sequential mode", with relevantdisplaying of the gear engaged, for about5 second.

When this time has elapsed, if thepaddles are not operated anymore, thesystem goes back to the automatic mode(D), with following displaying.

SEQUENTIAL DRIVINGMODE

In sequential driving mode, thetransmission works like a manualgearbox.

Gearshifting through gear lever

Move the lever sideways (to the left)from position D to the sequentialposition:

lever towards "+": engage higher gear;lever towards "-": engage lower gear.

The lever correct position in "Sequentialmode" is signalled when the symbols "+"and "−" switch on and the symbol Dswitches off on the display (the gearengaged only is shown on the display).

Gearshifting through steering wheelpaddles(for versions/markets, where provided)

27)

On some versions, the steering wheelpaddles fig. 64 can be used to changegear in sequential mode or in D:

steering wheel paddle "+" (pullingpaddle towards driver fig. 64 ): engagehigher gear;

steering wheel paddle "-" (pullingpaddle towards driver fig. 64 ): engagelower gear.

The engagement of a lower or higher gearis only permitted if the engine revs allowit.

If the car is stopped with a higher gearthan 1 st engaged, the transmission willautomatically engage 1 st gear.

"Launch Control" Function

98)

The "Launch Control" strategy permitshigh-performance starting.

With the car stationary, proceed asfollows to activate this function:

operate the “Alfa DNA” system andactivate the "Dynamic" driving mode;

63 A0K0612C 64 A0K0266C

85

depress the brake pedal with your leftfoot and, simultaneously, fully depressthe accelerator pedal with your rightfoot;

shift gear using the gear lever or thesteering wheel paddle "−" (pulling thepaddle towards the driver as previouslydescribed): rpm are thus increased from2750 to 4500; (1.4 Petrol versions) andfrom 1700 to 2700 (2.0 JTD M versions)and from 3000 to 3750 (1750 Turbopetrol version);

release the brake pedal: in this way amore "lively" start is achieved.

When the brake pedal is released, the carwill start with maximum acceleration.Despite the "Sequential mode", the carwill autonomously shift the gear toguarantee max. acceleration, once thecorrect shifting speed has been reached.

To abandon the strategy, simply interruptthe above sequence of operations orrelease the accelerator pedal.

IMPORTANT

25) If the car is on a gradient, always engagethe electric parking brake BEFORE placingthe gear lever in P.26) Engage reverse only with the carstationary, engine at idling speed andaccelerator pedal fully released.

27)Using the paddles incorrectly (paddlespushed towards the dashboard ) could breakthem.28) It is advisable to contact an Alfa RomeoDealership to have the refitting procedurecarried out. If youwould like to proceedautonomously, special attentionmust bepaid to the correct coupling of the retainingclips. Otherwise, noisemight be heard due toan incorrect fastening of the lower coverwith the upper cover.

WARNING

97)Never leave children unattended in thecar. Always remove the ignition keywhenleaving the car and take the keywith you.98)While the Launch Control function isbeing used, the ESC andASR systems aredeactivated. Thismeans that vehicledynamic control is the sole responsibility ofthe driver. Therefore pay the utmostattentionwhen using the Launch Control.Take into account traffic and road surfaceconditions and duringmanoeuvresmakesure there is enough room in the areaconcerned.

USINGTHEGEARBOXTo engage the gears, fully depress theclutch pedal and put the gear lever intothe required position (the diagram isshown on the knob 99)).

To engage the 6 th gear, operate the leverby pressing it towards the right in orderto avoid engaging the 4th gear bymistake. The same applies to the shiftfrom 6 th to 5 th gear. 29)

To engage reverse gear (R) from neutral,lift up ring A fig. 65 and simultaneouslymove the lever to the left and thenforwards.

CRUISE CONTROL


This is an electronically controlled drivingassistance device that allows the desiredvehicle speed to be maintained, withouthaving to press the accelerator pedal.This device can be used at a speed above30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straightroads with few variations (e.g.motorways). It is therefore notrecommended to use this device onextra-urban roads with traffic. Do not useit in town.

ACTIVATINGTHEDEVICE

Turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON.

The device cannot be engaged in 1 st orreverse gear: it is advisable to engage itin 5 th gear or higher.

When travelling downhill with the deviceengaged, the car may slightly exceed thestored speed.

Activation is indicated by the warninglight .

SETTINGTHEDESIRED SPEED

Proceed as follows:turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON and press the

accelerator to reach the required speed;move the stalk upwards (+) for at least

1 second, then release it: the car speed isnow stored and you can therefore releasethe accelerator.

If needed (when overtaking for instance),you can accelerate simply by pressing theaccelerator; when you release the pedal,the vehicle goes back to the speed storedpreviously.

RESTORINGTHEMEMORISED SPEED

If the device has been disengaged bypressing the brake or clutch pedal, thestored speed can be reset as follows:

accelerate gradually until a speedapproaching the one stored is reached;

engage the gear selected at the timeof speed storing;

press the RES button (2 fig. 67).

INCREASINGTHEMEMORISED SPEED

Once the electronic Cruise Control hasbeen activated, the speed can beincreased by pressing button SET +.

REDUCINGTHEMEMORISED SPEED

Once the electronic Cruise Control hasbeen activated, the speed can be reducedby pressing the button SET -.

DEACTIVATINGTHEDEVICE

The device can be switched off in thefollowing ways:

by turning the ring 1 fig. 67 to the OFFposition;

by switching off the engine;by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch

or the accelerator; in this last case thesystem is not effectively deactivated butthe system gives priority to theacceleration request. The device stillremains active, without the need to pressthe RES button to return to the previousconditions once acceleration isconcluded.

Automatic deactivation

The device is automatically switched offin the following cases:

if the ABS or ESC systems intervene;with the vehicle speed below the set

limit;in the event of system failure.

WARNING

101)When travelling with the device active,nevermove the gear lever to neutral.102) In case of amalfunction or failure ofthe device, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.

PARKINGSENSORS


These are located in the car's frontbumper and rear bumper and theirfunction is to inform the driver, throughan intermittent acoustic signal, about thepresence of obstacles in front of andbehind the car.

ACTIVATION

Version with rear sensors

On the versions with rear sensors, thesystem is activated when the reversegear is engaged.

Version with front and rear sensors

On versions with front sensors and rearsensors, the system is activated whenthe reverse gear is engaged or bypressing the button on the centre console

.

When reverse gear is released, the frontand rear sensors remain activated until aspeed of around 15 km/h is exceeded toallow the parking manoeuvre to becompleted.

The sensors are deactivated by pressingthe button again or when a speed of15 km/h is exceeded: the LED in thebutton is off when the system is notactive.

INDICATIONSONDISPLAY(for versions/markets, where provided)

Versions with rear sensors

On activating the sensors, the image ofthe vehicle with rear distance bars willappear on the "ReconfigurableMultifunction Display".

Versions with front and rear sensors

On activating the sensors, the image ofthe vehicle with front and rear distancebars will appear on the "ReconfigurableMultifunction Display".

Obstacle presence and distanceinformation is therefore provided bothby the buzzer (volume of the acousticwarning cannot be adjusted) and theindication on the display.

If there are several obstacles, the closestone is displayed. On the version withfront and rear sensors, the closestobstacle in the front area and in the reararea is displayed.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL

The information concerning the presenceand distance of an obstacle from the caris transmitted to the driver by means ofacoustic signals from buzzers installed inthe passenger compartment.

When reverse gear is engaged an

acoustic signal is automatically activatedif there is an obstacle within the range ofoperation.

The acoustic signal:increases as distance between the car

and the obstacle decreases;becomes continuouswhen the

distance between the car and theobstacle is less that 30 cm and stopsimmediately if the distance increases;is constant if the distance is unvaried;

if this situation occurs for the sidesensors, the signal will stop after about3 seconds to avoid, for example,indications in the event of manoeuvresalongside walls.

OPERATIONWITHATRAILER

Parking sensor operation is automaticallyturned off when the trailer electric cableplug is fitted into the car tow hooksocket. 31)

The sensors are automaticallyreactivated when the trailer's cable plugis removed. 103) 104)

IMPORTANTNOTES

During parking manoeuvres, pay theutmost attention to any obstacles thatcould be located above or below thesensors.

Objects set close to the car rear, undercertain circumstances are not detected

and could therefore cause damage to thecar or be damaged.

The following conditions may influencethe performance of the parkingassistance system:

reduced sensor sensitivity and areduction in the parking assistancesystem performance could be due to thepresence on the surface of the sensor of:ice, snow, mud, thick paint

The sensors may detect anon-existent obstacle (echo interference)due to mechanical interference, forexample when washing the car, in rain(strong wind), hail.

The signals sent by the sensors canalso be altered by the presence ofultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brakesystems or pneumatic drills) near thevehicle.

sensor performance can also beinfluenced by the position of the sensors.For example by a change in the ridesetting (caused by the wear of the shockabsorbers, suspension), overloading thecar and carrying out specific tuningoperations that require the car to belowered;

The detection of obstacles at the toppart of the car may not be guaranteedbecause the system detects obstaclesthat could cause an impact with the car inthe bottom part.

IMPORTANT

31) The sensormust be free ofmud, dirt,snow or ice in order for the system towork.Be careful not to scratch or damage thesensorswhile cleaning them. Avoid using dry,rough or hard cloths. The sensorsmust bewashed using cleanwater, with the additionof vehicle shampoo if necessary.When usingspecial washing equipment such as highpressure jets or steam cleaning, clean thesensors very quickly keeping the jetmorethan 10 cmaway.

WARNING

103)Only have the bumpers repainted orany retouches to the paintwork in the area ofthe sensors carried out by anAlfa RomeoDealership. Incorrect paint application couldaffect the operation of the parking sensors.104) Parking and other dangerousmanoeuvres are, however, always thedriver’s responsibility.While carrying outthesemanoeuvres, alwaysmake sure thatno people (especially children) or animals arein the area concerned. The parking sensorsare an aid for the driver, but the drivermustnever allow their attention to lapse duringpotentially dangerousmanoeuvres, eventhose executed at low speeds.

TOWINGTRAILERSIMPORTANT NOTES

The car must be provided with atype-approved tow hook and adequateelectric system to tow caravans ortrailers. Installation must be carried outby a specialist.

Install any specific and/or additional doormirrors as specified by the HighwayCode.

Remember that when towing a trailer,steep hills are harder to climb, thebraking spaces increase and overtakingtakes longer depending on the overallweight.

Engage a low gear when driving downhill,rather than constantly using the brake.

The weight of the trailer reduces the loadcapacity of the car by the same amount.Consider the weight at full load, includingaccessories and luggage, to make sureyou do not exceed the maximum towableweight (shown in the registrationdocument).

Do not exceed the speed limits specificto each country you are driving in, in thecase of vehicles towing trailers. In anycase do not exceed 100 km/h.

INSTALLINGATOWHOOKContact an Alfa Romeo Dealership toinstall a tow hook. 105) 106)

WARNING

105) The ABSwith which the car is equippedwill not control the braking systemof thetrailer. Particular caution is thereforerequired on slippery roads.106)Do not, under any circumstances,modify the vehicle's braking system tocontrol the trailer breaking system.Thetowing braking systemmust be completelyindependent of the vehicle's hydraulicsystem.

REFUELLINGTHEVEHICLEStop the engine before refuelling.

PETROL ENGINES

Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.compliant with the Europeanspecification EN228. The petrol octanerating (RON) must not be lower than 95.In order to prevent damage to thecatalytic converter never introduce eventhe smallest amount of leaded petrol,even in the event of an emergency.

DIESEL ENGINES

Only use diesel fuel compliant withEuropean specification EN590. The useof other products or mixtures maydamage the engine beyond repair andconsequently invalidate the warranty,due to the damage caused.

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low,diesel thickens due to the formation ofparaffin clots with consequent defectiveoperation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems,different types of Diesel are distributedaccording to the season: summer type,winter type and arctic type (cold,mountain areas).

119) The vehicle's driving characteristicswill bemodifiedwith the space-saver wheelfitted. Avoid violent acceleration andbraking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall duration of the space-saverwheel is about 3000 km, after which therelevant tyremust be replacedwith anotherone of the same type. Never install atraditional tyre on a rim designed to be usedas a space-saver wheel. Have thewheelrepaired and refitted as soon as possible.Using two ormore space-saver wheels at thesame time is forbidden. Do not apply greaseto the bolt threads before fitting: they couldcome unscrewed.120) The jackmay be used to replacewheels only on the car that it comeswith orother cars of the samemodel. Never use thejack for other purposes, such as lifting othervehiclemodels. Never use it for repairoperations under the vehicle. Incorrectpositioning of the jackmay cause the vehicleto fall. Do not use the jack for loads higherthan the one shown on its label. Never installsnow chains on the space-saver wheel; if afront tyre (drivingwheel) is punctured andyou need to use snow chains, use a standardwheel from the rear axle and install thespace-saver wheel on the rear axle. In thisway, with two normal front drivewheels, it ispossible to use snow chains.121) Incorrectly fitting thewheel capmaycause it to fall off when the car is inmotion.Never tamperwith the inflation valve. Neverintroduce tools of any kind between rim andtyre. Regularly check the inflation pressureof the tyres and space-saver wheel (seechapter "Technical specifications").

122) The jack is a tool developed anddesigned only for changing awheel, if a tyregets punctured or damaged, on the vehiclewithwhich it is supplied or on other vehiclesof the samemodel. Any other use, e.g. to jackup other vehiclemodels or different things,is strictly prohibited. Never use formaintenance or repair activities under thecar or to exchange the summer/winterwheels and vice versa. Never go under theraised vehicle. Should it be necessary towork under the vehicle, contact an AlfaRomeoDealership. Incorrect positioning ofthe jackmay cause the raised vehicle to fall:use only in the positions indicated. Do notuse the jack for loads higher than the oneshown on its label. Never start the enginewith vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raisedmore than necessary, everything canbecomemore unstable, with the risk of thevehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift thevehicle only as needed in order to access thesparewheel.

IMPORTANT

35)When turning the jack handlemake surethat it can turn freely without scraping yourhand against the ground. Themovingcomponents of the jack ("worm screw" andjoints) can also cause injuries: avoid touchingthem. If you come into contact withlubricating grease, clean yourselfthoroughly.36)Contact an Alfa RomeoDealership assoon as possible to have the correcttightening of thewheel bolts checked.

When jump starting, never connect thenegative lead (–) of the auxiliary batteryto the negative pole 1 fig. 102 of the carbattery, but rather to an engine/gearboxearth point. 125)

BUMPSTARTINGNever, under any circumstances, jumpstart the engine by pushing, towing orcoasting downhill.

IMPORTANT

39)Never connect the negative terminals ofthe two batteries directly! If the auxiliarybattery is installed on another car, preventaccidental contact betweenmetallic parts ofthe two cars.40)Never use a fast battery-charger tostart the engine as this could damage theelectronic systems of your vehicle,particularly the ignition and engine fuelsupply control units.

WARNING

124) This starting proceduremust beperformed by expert personnel becauseincorrect actions could cause electricaldischarge of considerable intensity.Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous andcorrosive: avoid contact with skin and eyes.Keep naked flames and lighted cigarettesaway from the battery and do not causesparks.125)Before opening the bonnet, make surethat the engine is off and that the ignitionkey is in the STOPposition. Please follow theinstructions on the decal near the frontcrossmember.We recommend that youremove the key from the ignition if otherpeople remain in the vehicle. The vehicleshould always be left after the key has beenremoved or turned to the STOPposition.During refuelling, make sure that the engineis off (and that the ignition key is in the STOPposition).

SCHEDULEDSERVICINGCorrect servicing is crucial forguaranteeing a long life for the vehicleunder the best conditions.

For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planneda series of checks and services at fixeddistance intervals and, forversions/markets, where provided, atfixed time intervals, as described in theScheduled Servicing Plan.

Regardless of the above, it is alwaysnecessary to carefully follow theinstructions in the Scheduled ServicingPlan (e.g. periodically check level ofliquids, tyre pressure, etc.).

Scheduled Servicing is offered by all AlfaRomeo Dealerships according to fixedtime or kilometres/miles intervals. If,during each operation, in addition to theones scheduled, the need arises forfurther replacements or repairs, thesemay be carried out with the owner'sexplicit agreement only. If your vehicle isused frequently for towing, the intervalbetween one service operation and thenext should be reduced.

IMPORTANTNOTES

Scheduled Servicing interventions areset out by the Manufacturer. Failure tohave them carried out may invalidate thewarranty.

It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo

Dealership of any small operatingirregularities without waiting for the nextservice.

The transmission control oil level shouldonly be checked at an Alfa RomeoDealership. 4)

IMPORTANT

42)Be careful not to confuse the varioustypes of fluidswhile topping up: they are notcompatible with each other! Topping upwithan unsuitable fluid could severely damageyour vehicle.

43) The oil level must never exceed theMAXreference.44)Do not add oil with specifications otherthan those of the oil already in the engine.45)Use a fluid of the same type as thatalready present in the reservoir for anytopping up of the engine cooling system.Thefluid cannot bemixedwith other types ofantifreeze fluids. In the event of topping upwith an unsuitable product, under nocircumstances start the engine and contactan Alfa RomeoDealership.46)Prevent brake fluid, which is highlycorrosive, from coming into contact withpainted parts. Should it happen, immediatelywashwithwater.

WARNING

130)Never smokewhile working in theengine compartment: gas and inflammablevapoursmay be present, with the risk of fire.131)Be very careful whenworking in theengine compartmentwhen the engine is hot:youmay get burned. Do not get too close tothe radiator cooling fan: the electric fanmaystart; danger of injury. Scarves, ties andother loose clothingmight be pulled bymoving parts.132) If the engine oil is being topped up, waitfor the engine to cool down before looseningthe filler cap, particularly for vehicleswithaluminium cap (where provided).WARNING:risk of burns!

137

133) The cooling system is pressurised. Ifnecessary, only replace the plugwithanother original or the operation of thesystemmay be adversely affected. Do notremove the reservoir plugwhen the engine ishot: you risk scalding yourself.134)Do not travel with thewindscreenwasher fluid reservoir empty: thewindscreenwasher is essential forimproving visibility. Repeated operation ofthe systemwithout fluid could damage orcause rapid deterioration of some systemcomponents.135)Some commercial additives forwindscreenwasher fluid are flammable. Theengine compartment contains hotcomponentswhichmay start a fire.136)Brake fluid is poisonous and highlycorrosive. In the event of accidental contact,immediately wash the affected partswithwater andmild soap. Then rinse thoroughly.Call a doctor immediately if swallowed.137) The symbol , on the brake fluidcontainer indicates if a brake fluid issynthetic ormineral-based. Use ofmineraltype fluidswill damage the special rubberseals of the braking systembeyond repair.

48) Incorrect installation of electric andelectronic devicesmay cause severe damageto your car. After purchasing your vehicle, ifyouwish to install any accessories (e.g.anti-theft, radio phone, etc.), go to anAlfaRomeoDealership, whichwill suggest themost suitable devices and advise youwhether a higher capacity battery needs tobe installed.

IMPORTANT

5)Batteries contain substanceswhich arevery dangerous for the environment. Forbattery replacement, contact an Alfa RomeoDealership.

141

LIFTINGTHEVEHICLEIf the car needs to be jacked up, go to anAlfa Romeo Dealership which is equippedwith shop jacks and jack arms.

IMPORTANT Be careful when positioningthe arm of the lift for versions with sideskirts.

BODYWORK

PRESERVINGTHEBODYWORK

Paint 6) 49)

Touch up abrasions and scratchesimmediately to prevent the formation ofrust.

Maintenance of paintwork consists ofwashing the car: the frequency dependson the conditions and environment wherethe car is used. For example, it isadvisable to wash the car more often inareas with high environmental pollutionor salted roads.

On some versions the car may beequipped, on request, with an exclusiveopaque paint on the roof which, in orderto be maintained intact, requires specialcare: see the instructions in the warning.

50)

To correctly wash the vehicle, followthese instructions:

if the vehicle is washed remove theaerial from the roof;

if high pressure jets or cleaners areused to wash the car, keep a distance ofat least 40 cm from the bodywork toavoid damage or alteration. Bear in mindthat a build up of water could causedamage to the car in the long term;

wash the bodywork using a lowpressure jet of water;

wipe a sponge with a slightly soapysolution over the bodywork, frequentlyrinsing the sponge;

rinse well with water and dry with a jetof air or a chamois leather.

Dry the less visible parts (e.g. doorframes, bonnet, headlight frames, etc.)with special care, as water may stagnatemore easily in these areas. Do not washthe car after it has been left in the sun orwith the bonnet hot: this may alter theshine of the paintwork.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned inthe same way as the rest of the vehicle.

IMPORTANTNOTES

Avoid parking under trees; the resindropped by trees makes the paintworkgo opaque and increases the possibilityof corrosion.

Bird droppings must be washed offimmediately and thoroughly as the acidthey contain is particularly aggressive.

Windows

Use specific detergents and clean clothsto prevent scratching or altering thetransparency.

IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window insidegently with a cloth following the directionof the filaments to avoid damaging theheating device.

Front headlights

Use a soft cloth soaked in water anddetergent for washing cars.

IMPORTANT Never use aromaticsubstances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.acetone) for cleaning the plastic lensesof the headlights.

IMPORTANT When cleaning with apressure washer, keep the water jet atleast 20 cm away from the headlights.

Engine compartment

At the end of every winter, wash theengine compartment thoroughly, takingcare not to aim the jet of water directly atthe electronic control units or at thewindscreen wiper motors. Have thisoperation performed at a specialisedworkshop.

IMPORTANT The washing should takeplace with the engine cold and theignition key in the STOP position. Afterthe washing operation, make sure thatthe various protections (e.g. rubber capsand guards) have not been removed ordamaged.

IMPORTANT

6)Detergents pollute the environment. Onlywash your vehicle in areas equipped tocollect and treatwastewater from this typeof activity.

IMPORTANT

49) In order to preserve the aestheticappearance of the paint abrasive productsand/or polishes should not be used forcleaning the vehicle.50)Avoid washingwith rollers and/orbrushes in washing stations.Wash thevehicle only by hand using neutral pHdetergents; dry it with awet chamois leather.Abrasive products and/or polishes shouldnot be used for cleaning the car. Birddroppingsmust bewashed off immediatelyand thoroughly as the acid they contain isparticularly aggressive. Avoid (if at allpossible) parking the vehicle under trees;remove vegetable resins immediately as,when dried, it may only be possible to removethemwith abrasive products and/or polishes,which is highly inadvisable as they could alterthe typical opaqueness of the paint. Do notuse purewindscreenwasher fluid forcleaning the front windscreen and rearwindow; dilute itmin. 50%withwater. Onlyuse pure screenwasher fluid when strictlynecessary due to outside temperatureconditions.

INTERIOR143) 144) 145)

Periodically check the cleanliness of theinterior, beneath the mats, which couldcause oxidation of the sheet metal.

SEATSAND FABRIC PARTSRemove dust with a soft brush or avacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use amoist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub theseats with a sponge moistened with asolution of water and neutral detergent.

LEATHERSEATS


Remove the dry dirt with a chamois orslightly damp cloth, without exerting toomuch pressure. Remove any liquid orgrease stains using an absorbent drycloth, without rubbing. Then clean with asoft cloth or buckskin cloth dampenedwith water and mild soap. If the stainpersists, use specific products andobserve the instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Makesure that the cleaning products usedcontain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives,even in small quantities.

PLASTIC AND COATEDPARTSClean interior plastic parts with a dampcloth (if possible made from microfibre),and a solution of water and neutral,non-abrasive detergent. To clean oily or

143

persistent stains, use specific productsfree from solvents and designed tomaintain the original appearance andcolour of the components.

Remove any dust using a microfibrecloth, if necessary moistened with water.The use of paper tissues is notrecommended as these may leaveresidues. 51)

GENUINE LEATHERPARTS


Use only water and mild soap to cleanthese parts. Never use alcohol oralcohol-based products. Before using aspecific product for cleaning interiors,make sure that it does not containalcohol and/or alcohol based substances.

WARNING

143)Never use flammable products, such aspetrol ether or rectified petrol to clean theinside of the car. The electrostatic chargeswhich are generated by rubbing during thecleaning operationmay cause a fire.144)Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:theymight explode. Aerosol cansmust notbe exposed to a temperature exceeding50°C.When the vehicle is exposed tosunlight, the internal temperature cangreatly exceed this value.

145) Theremust be no obstacles on thefloor underneath the pedals; make sure thatmats are always flat and do not interferewith the pedals.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specificEuropean Directives.

The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban

cycle.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trimlevel/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adverselyaffect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured.
