DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with
blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reexes are slower, and your
judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
If you have any questions about your vehicle or need assistance, please call Alfa Romeo Customer Care at
1 844 253-2872 (U.S.) or 1 800 387-1143 (Canada).

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the
vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC
strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when
using any device or feature that may take their attention off the
road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones,
computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices,
by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could
lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous
and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you nd
yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation,
pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some
states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or
texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to
comply with all local laws.

READ THIS CAREFULLY
Refueling
Do not use fuel containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital components
of the supply system.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel, refer to "Fuel Requirements" in the "Technical Specifications" chapter.
Starting The Engine
Make sure that the electric park brake is engaged and that the transmission is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Next, press the brake pedal, and then push
the engine START/STOP button.
Parking On Flammable Material
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material, as doing so is a 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 you decide to add electrical accessories after purchasing the vehicle, (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact your authorized
dealer. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
Scheduled Servicing
Correctly performed maintenance procedures are essential for ensuring that your vehicle continuously maintains its quality in performance and
safety features, environmental friendliness, and low running costs.

HOWTO USE THIS MANUAL
