READ THIS CAREFULLY
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 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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
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 withTCTgearbox (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 engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off.Then turn the ignition key to AVVand 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 vehicle 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.
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.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS
…important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be paid to the symbols 
(personal safety) 
(environmental protection) 
(car integrity).
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 WARNINGS to 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.
WARNINGS and 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.

ALFA ROMEO 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.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation to the time for which the stalk is held in this position. When released, the stalk will return to its default position and the windscreen wiper will be automatically stopped.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled for more than half a second to operate the windscreen washer jet and wiper automatically with a single movement. The windscreen wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released. A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
It can detect the presence of rain and consequently manage windscreen wiping in accordance with the amount of water on the windscreen.
The sensor is activated when the ring 2 is turned to “automatic” position (“AUTO” control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of water on the windscreen.
If no rain is detected, the wiper will not carry out any strokes.
22
REAR WINDOWWIPER / WASHER
(where provided)
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
Turn ring 1 from O position to
position to operate the rear window wiper as follows:
in intermittent mode when the windscreen wiper is not operating; 
in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper is operating;
in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged and the control active. Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (rocking position) will activate the rear
window washer jet. Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear window wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart washing function, as described for the windscreen wiper.
WARNING
13) Never use the windscreen wipers to remove layers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such conditions, the windscreen wiper may be subjected to excessive stress and the motor cut-out switch, which prevents operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored (even after restarting that car with the key), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
14) Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
