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 motor vehicles 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.
Petrol engines. Versions with manual gearbox engage the handbrake, set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVVand release it as soon as the engine has started. Versions with TCT gearbox (if available), engage the
handbrake and set the gear lever in P (Parking) or N (Neutral), then turn the ignition key to AVVand release it as soon as the engine is started. Diesel

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.
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
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.
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. 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 not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction 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 for
getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter
at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could
cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSand PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTEThese symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That
number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.
IMPORTANT
This Owner Handbook describes all Alfa Mito versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not
explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level,
engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the
specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at
a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described
for technical and/or commercial reasons.
For further information, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of the interior door handles and the door
locking/unlocking button. We recommend
that you activate this device each time
you park your car.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by
pressing the button
on the key twice
quickly. Device activation is indicated by
3 flashes of the direction indicators and a
flash of the LED on the button
on the
dashboard. The device does not come on
if one or more doors is not properly shut.
Deactivating the device
The device disengages automatically:
the key insert is turned to opening
position in the driver side door;
by pressing the button on the key;
by turning the ignition key to the MAR
position.
IMPORTANT Once the safe lock system
is engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the car. Therefore,
before getting out of the car check that
there is no one left on board. If the
remote control battery is flat, the device
can only be deactivated by using the
metal insert in one of the door locks.
WARNING
1) Press button 2 only with the key away
from your body, especially your eyes and
from objects which could get damaged (e.g.
your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
handled, e.g. by a child.
IMPORTANT
1) Used batteries may be harmful to the
environment if not disposed of correctly.
They must be disposed of as specified by law
in the special containers or taken to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership, which will take care of
their disposal.
IGNITION DEVICE
2) 3)
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 6:
STOP: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
AVV:engine starting.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by the Alfa Romeo Dealership
before driving again.
3) Always remove the key when you leave
your car to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
downhill. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that
could adversely affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
5) Never remove the key while the car is
moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as well.
ALFAROMEO CODE SYSTEM
The Alfa Romeo Code prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle, disabling
engine starting.
Operation
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system control unit sends an
acknowledgement code to the
Powertrain Control Module 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
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the icon
appears on 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.
Activation of warning light while
driving
If the icon appears on the display,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to a
voltage drop).
If the icon continues to be
displayed, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected to
strong shocks. In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic devices inside the
key, it should never be exposed to direct
sunlight.
