You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all
with those concerning brakes, steering and transmission; at the same time, you can understand the car behaviour on different road
surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and

ATTENTION
This Owner Handbook describes all car 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 related to the 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).
The data contained in this publication should be understood as intended to guide you in the correct use of the car.
Alfa Romeo 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.

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. Do not use
petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring anddriving issues, as well as damage vital components of the supply
system.
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.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the electric parking brake is engaged and that the transmission is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the brake pedal and then press the ignition
device button.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car ongrass, 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 vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric 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.

“CYBERSECURITY” DEVICES
The car is equipped with security devices developed according to the technological standards currently applied in the automotive industry to protect the
onboard electronic systems from hacking attempts. The purpose of these security devices is to minimise the risk of cyber-attacks or the installation of viruses
or malware which could compromise the performance of the car and/or allow stealing of personal data of the buyers and/or users and/or unauthorised
dissemination of said information.
The car's purchaser must not remove, modify or tamper withthese anti-hacking security devices. The Manufacturer will therefore not be liable for negative
consequences and/or damage to the vehicle and/or to the buyer and/or to third parties deriving from the removal, modification or alteration of the security
devices performed by the car's purchaser and/or user.

CHANGES/ALTERATIONS TO THE CAR
WARNING
WARNING Any change or alteration of the car might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be
fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any caseburden the electrical supply, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership, whose personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system
is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
WARNING Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect
efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
Alfa Romeo S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Alfa Romeo S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the car in the context of after-sales service must carry the following label :
Alfa Romeo S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in
compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
WARNING Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
Alfa Romeo S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Alfa Romeo S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (car mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone
Manufacturer.
WARNING The use of thesedevices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could
compromise the safety of the car in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
WARNING If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the car and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive
Entry/Keyless Start system may occur.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 car. 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.
