VERY IMPORTANT

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification EN228. Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond

repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then

turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the

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

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. They will calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electrical system can support the required load.

CODE card

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. We recommend that you always carry the electronic code provided on the CODE card with you, in case you need to perform an emergency start.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

SYMBOLS

Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. Under the bonnet there is also a label that summarises all the symbols.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM

IN BRIEF

This is an electronic engine locking system which increases protection against attempted thefts of the car. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

There is an electronic device in each key which can identify the signal emitted, when the engine is started, from an aerial built into the ignition switch. The signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the “password” by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables starting.

Operation

Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine management control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted by the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management control unit.

Irregular operation

If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the light (on some versions a message together with a symbol is shown on the display) switches on in the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the car. If it is still not possible to start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
