Dear Client, Thank you for choosing Alfa Romeo. Your Alfa GT has been designed to guarantee the safety, comfort and driving pleasure typical of Alfa Romeo. This booklet will help you to get to know the characteristics and operation of your car. The following pages contain all the indications necessary for you to be able to maintain the high standards of performance, quality, safety and respect for the environment which characterise this Alfa GT.
VERY IMPORTANT! FUEL CAPACITY K Petrol engines: only use unleaded petrol with no less than 95 R.O.N. Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT U The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.
Any queries concerning servicing should be forwarded to the showroom from which the car was purchased, the subsidiary company or to our branch offices or any point of the Alfa Romeo Network. Warranty Booklet The Warranty Booklet is delivered together with every new car and contains the regulations tied to the services given by Alfa Romeo Services and to the warranty conditions.
THE SYMBOLS USED IN THIS BOOKLET The symbols illustrated in these pages show the subjects which should, in particular, be closely studied. PERSONAL SAFETY Warning. Partially or fully ignoring these rules may lead to serious injury. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT This indicates the correct procedures to be followed to prevent the car from damaging the environment. CAR SAFETY Warning.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SYMBOLS THE ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM On some of the components making up your Alfa GT, or near to them, special coloured labels have been attached. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component. A summary list of the symbols (fig.1) is to be found under the bonnet.
Together with the keys the CODE card is provided (for versions/ markets where applicable) (fig. 3), bearing in print the key codes (both mechanical and electronic for emergency start up). The driver should always keep the electronic CODE card with him/her in the event of having to carry out emergency starting. If the car changes owner, the new owner must be given all the keys and the CODE card. The code numbers on the CODE card must be kept in a safe place , not in the car.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR The metal insert (A) of the key operates: To insert the metal insert in the key grip: OPENING THE TAILGATE – the ignition switch – keep the button (B) pressed The tailgate can be opened from outside by remote control pressing button (E), even if the electronic alarm is on. Opening of the tailgate is accompanied by the direction indicators flashing twice; closing is accompanied by a single flash.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the STOP position the Alfa Romeo CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit. Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo CODE control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR If after about 2 seconds with the ignition key at MAR, for versions without reconfigurable multifunction display, the Alfa Romeo CODE warning light (Y) turns on again flashing, or for versions with reconfigurable multifunction display, the warning light turns on again together with the message “CODE SYSTEM NOT PROGRAMMED”, this means that the code of the keys has not been stored, therefore the car is not protected by the Alfa Romeo CODE system against attempted theft.
DESCRIPTION The system comprises: a transmitter, receiver, control unit with siren and volumetric sensors. The electronic alarm is controlled by the receiver incorporated in the instrument cluster and it is turned on and off by the remote control in the key which sends the crypted and variable code.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Surveillance After switching on, the flashing of the deterrent led (A-fig. 7) on the dashboard indicates the system surveillance mode. The led flashes throughout this period. IMPORTANT Operation of the electronic alarm is adapted at the origin to the rules of the different countries. Self-diagnostic functions and door, bonnet, boot control If, after engaging the alarm, a second “beep” is sounded, switch off the system pressing the button (B-fig.
When the system is on, the alarm comes into action in the following cases: – opening of one of the doors, bonnet or tailgate; – disconnection of the battery or sectioning of electric cables; – intrusion in the passenger compartment, for example breakage of windows (volumetric protection); – attempt to start the engine (key in MAR position); – abnormal car lifting/sloping (for versions/markets where applicable).
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR IGNITION DEVICE IMPORTANT Do not leave the key in this position when the engine is stopped. SWITCH (fig. 8) – AVV: unstable position for starting the engine. The key can be turned to one of four positions: IMPORTANT If the engine fails to start move the key back to STOP and repeat. – STOP: engine switched off, key can be removed, engine inhibitor engaged, steering lock engaged, services excluded apart from those supplied directly (e.g. hazard warning lights).
DOORS OPENING/CLOSING FROM INSIDE Engaging: – move the key to STOP or PARK, then remove the key and turn the steering wheel slightly to facilitate the locking action. Before opening a door, always make sure that it can be done safely. Disengaging: – turn the key to MAR gently rocking the steering wheel from side to side. – To open the door, pull the handle (A-fig. 10). – To close the door, pull it; then to prevent opening from the outside, press the button (A-fig.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR FRONT SEATS CENTRAL LOCKING This allows central locking of the door locks. Only make adjustments when the car is stationary. To engage central locking, the doors must be perfectly shut, otherwise locking is denied. IMPORTANT With central locking engaged, pulling the inside lever for opening one of the front doors causes the unlocking of all the doors. A0A0602b Fabric upholstery of your car is purpose-made to withstand common wear resulting from normal use of the car.
CENTRAL ARMREST (fig. 13) Turn the knob (D) until obtaining the most comfortable position. To gain access to the rear seats, pull the handle (E), the back rest folds and the seat is free to run forwards. The armrest, fitted on some versions, is adjustable and can be raised and lowered to the required position. DRIVER’S SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (fig. 12) A recovery mechanism with memory makes it possible to take the seat back to its previous position.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SEAT WARMING (fig. 14) Seat warming, fitted on certain versions, is turned on and off through the switch (A) on the outer side of the seat. Switching on is shown by the lighting up of the led (B) on the switch itself. HEADREST ADJUSTMENT (fig. 15) To increase passengers’ safety, the headrests are adjustable in height. To adjust, press the button (A) and move the headrest up or down until it clicks into place.
Fabric upholstery of your car is purpose-made to withstand common wear resulting from normal use of the car. It is however absolutely necessary to prevent hard and/or prolonged scratching/scraping caused by clothing accessories like metallic buckles, studs, “Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing locally the fabric could break yarns and damage the upholstery as a consequence.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Total extension Proceed as follows: – check that seat buckles of the side belts are fitted in the respective pockets on the back rest (A-fig. 20) and the tab (B) of the centre abdominal belt is inserted in the support (C). – pull the handles in the centre of the cushions, then tilt them forwards; – raise the headrest to the highest position, press both buttons (A-fig.
For partial extension, proceed as follows: – tilt the cushion required pulling the handle at the centre of the cushion, then tilting the actual cushion; – move the seat belt to one side extending it correctly without twisting; – raise the lever retaining the back rest and tilt it forwards. To bring the seat back to its normal position HEADREST ADJUSTMENT (fig. 24) The car may be fitted with two headrests for the side seats and, depending on the trim level, it may also have a third headrest in the centre.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR CENTRAL ARMREST (fig. 25) To use the armrest (A), present only on certain versions, lower it as illustrated. LUGGAGE RETAINER NET (where provided) STEERING WHEEL The driver can adjust the steering wheel position in rake and height. Present only on certain versions, the retainer net (fig. 26) is helpful in correctly arranging the load and/or suitable for transporting light materials. To do this, release the lever (A-fig. 27) pulling it towards the steering wheel.
OUTER Folding (fig. 30) Electric adjustment (fig. 29) – In the event of need (for example when the mirror causes difficulty in narrow spaces) it is possible to fold the mirror moving it from position (A) to position (B). – use the switch (A) to select the mirror required (right or left); INNER The mirror, fitted with a safety device that causes it to be released in the event of a violent crash, can be moved using the lever (A-fig. 28) to two different positions, normal or antiglare.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Defrosting/demisting (fig. 31-32) The electric mirrors are fitted with heating coils which come into operation with rearscreen heating pressing the button (A) thereby defrosting and/or demisting the mirrors. IMPORTANT The function is timed and automatically switched off after a few minutes. POWER WINDOWS Driver’ side (fig.
Passenger’s side (fig. 34) The button (A) controls the passenger’s side window. Button and window operation is the same as that described for driver’s side. Improper use of the power windows can be dangerous. Before and during its operation, always make sure that passengers are not exposed to the risk of harm either directly by the moving windows or by personal objects drawn or knocked by them.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR For all versions, after unlocking the doors, keeping the remote control button pressed for about 2 seconds will obtain window opening. IMPORTANT For versions/markets where applicable, after turning off control unit power (replacing or disconnecting the battery or replacing the power window control unit protection fuses), window automatism shall be restored. Proceed as follows with doors closed: 1.
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or when cornering at high speed. FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Always adjust the height of the belts adapting it to the person who is wearing it. This precaution improves their effectiveness substantially reducing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR REAR BELTS To fasten the belt: gently pull the belt from its reel and guide the tape to prevent it from twisting, then insert the tongue (A-fig. 37) into the buckle housing (B). To unfasten the seat belts, press button (E). Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in fig. 38. Fig. 39 shows improper belt fastening. To tilt the back rest see paragraph “Boot extension”. IMPORTANT The centre rear seatbelt is installed on request only for versions/markets on which it is required.
The emergency tensioning retractor needs no maintenance or lubrication. Any modification to its original features will nullify the retractor effectiveness. If, due to unusual natural events (floods, high waves, etc.), the device has been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced. Pre-tensioning devices can only be used once. After they have been triggered contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services to have them replaced.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR IMPORTANT The seat belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the shoulder and diagonally across the chest. The lower part must rest across the pelvis and not across the (fig. 41) stomach. Do not use devices (clips, stoppers, etc.) which keep the belts away from the body. To ensure the highest degree of protection, you are recommended to keep the seat backrest in the straightest position possible, and the belt adhering well to the chest and pelvis.
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS – prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside; To keep the seat belts always in efficient conditions, observe the following: – replace the seat belt if it shows significant wear or cut signs.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all passengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems. This is even more important for children. This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with adults, their head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while the muscles and bone structure are not completely developed.
GROUP 1 (fig. 44) Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing behind on a cradle seat which, supporting the head, does not induce strain on the neck in the event of a sharp deceleration. Starting from 9 to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards with seats fitted with front cushion, through which the car seat belt restrains both child and seat. The cradle is restrained by the car safety belts, as illustrated, and it should in turn restrain the child with the belts incorporated on it.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR GROUP 2 (fig. 45) GROUP 3 (fig. 46) Starting from 15 to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained directly by the car seat belts. For children from 22 up to 36 kg the child’s chest is thick enough not to need the spacer back rest anymore.
Your car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC regulating child’s seat assembling on the different car seats according to the following table: Range of weight Front passenger Rear passengers Central passenger up to 13 kg U U U Group 1 9-18 kg U U U Group 2 15-25 kg U U U Group 3 22-36 kg U U U Group Group 0, 0+ GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD’S SEAT USE Key: U = suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” catego
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be followed for carrying children: – All restraint systems are strictly for one child only: never use for two children at the same time. – The recommended position for installing a child’s seat is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected in the event of a crash. – Always make sure that the belts do not rest on the child’s neck.
Since sizes are different, on the rear seats it is possible to install just two traditional child’s seats, or two Isofix type seats. On the front passenger seat it is only possible to mount traditional child’s seats. Only Isofix type child restraint systems designed and tested for this car must be used.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Group 1 For proper mounting proceed as follows: – check whether the release lever (Bfig. 49) is at rest position (inward); With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and by the upper belts. To apply car seat belts to child’s seat refer to the child’s seat handbook.
In the event of a crash a person that is not wearing the seat belt moves forwards and may come into contact with the cushion while it is still opening. Under these circumstances the protection offered by the cushion is reduced.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess in the dashboard; its volume is bigger than the driver’s one (fig. 51). Never place cradle child’s seats facing backwards on the front passenger seat of cars fitted with passenger’s air bag since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
SIDE AIR BAGS WINDOW BAG (fig. 54) (SIDE BAG - WINDOW BAG) IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is not running and the ignition key is removed. SIDE BAG (fig. 53) The window bag is formed of two “curtain” cushions housed in the side roof lining covered by a special trim, which protects the head of front and rear occupants in the event of a side crash thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR IMPORTANT The front and/or side air bags may be activated if the car is subjected to heavy shocks or accidents that involve the underbody area, such as for example violent bumps against steps, pavements or fixed obstacles on the ground, falling into big holes or bumpy roads. IMPORTANT The triggering of air bags releases a small amount of powder.
If when turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light ¬ does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling there could be a failure in safety systems; in this event air bags or pretensioners could not trigger in case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services immediately to have the system checked. Do not cover the backrest of front seats with trims or covers that are not suitable to be used with side bags.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light F (with passenger’s front air bag deactivation switch at ON) turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that passenger’s air bag will be deployed in a crash, after which it should go off. Never wash seat backrests with pressurised water or steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing stations). The front air bag is triggered for shocks greater in magnitude than the pretensioners.
Main beams (fig. 58) The sidelights are switched on by turning the knurled ring from O to 6. To turn the main beams on, set the knurled ring to position 2 and push the lever towards the dashboard (stable position); warning light 1 on the instrument panel will turn on. The 3 warning light on the instrument cluster will come on at the same time. Dipped-beam headlights (fig. 57) These are switched on by turning the knurled ring from 6 to 2.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Flashing (fig. 59) The headlights are flashed pulling the lever towards the steering wheel (instable position) regardless of the position of the knurled ring. The 1 warning light on the cluster will come on at the same time. IMPORTANT Only the main-beam lights are flashed. To avoid penalties follow local regulations. Direction indicators (fig.
RIGHT-HAND LEVER The right-hand lever is used to operate the windscreen wiper-washer and rearscreen wiper-washer. The windscreen washer also activates the headlamp washers, if fitted. A0A0616b Windscreen wiper-washer (fig. 62-63) The lever can be moved to five different positions, corresponding to: A - Windscreen wiper off. B - Intermittent. With the lever in position (B), turning the ring (F), four possible intermittent speeds are obtained: ■ = intermittent slow. ■■ = intermittent medium.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR Rain sensor (fig. 64) The rain sensor (A), fitted only on certain versions, is an electronic device combined with the windscreen wiper which has the purpose of automatically adjusting the number of wipes during intermittent operation to the intensity of the rain. Turning the knurled ring (F-fig. 62) it is possible to increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor, obtaining a quicker change from stationary, when the windscreen is dry, to first continuous speed (continuous, slow).
CRUISE CONTROL These come into operation when the windscreen washer is turned on with the dipped/main beam headlights on. GENERAL – pressing the clutch pedal; The speed regulator (CRUISE CONTROL), with electronic control, makes it possible to drive the car at the required speed without pressing the accelerator pedal. This reduces driving fatigue during long journeys because the speed memorised is automatically maintained.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR 50 – ON is the normal operating position of the device. When the ring (A) is in this position, the warning light Ü on the instrument cluster turns on. Ring (B) serves for memorising and maintaining the car sped or for increasing or lowering the speed memorised. Turn the ring (B) to (+) to memorise the speed reached or increase the speed memorised. Turn the ring (B) to (–) to lower the speed memorised. Each time the ring is actuated (B) the speed increases or lowers by about 1.
TO RESET THE MEMORISED SPEED The speed memorised can be reduced in two ways: The memorised speed is automatically reset turning off the engine or moving the ring (A) to OFF. 1) disengaging the device (for instance pressing the brake pedal) and then memorising the new speed (turning the ring (B) to (+) for at least three seconds); 2) keeping the ring pressed (B) at (–) until reaching the new speed which will be memorised automatically.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR 116 STOPPING THE CAR OPERATION To stop the car, simply release the accelerator pedal and, if necessary, press the brake pedal. The gearbox can work according to two operating modes: Regardless of the gear engaged and the operating mode activated (MANUAL or CITY) the system automatically disengages the clutch and shifts to a lower gear. If deciding to move off again without having stopped the car completely, the most suitable ratio will be available for accelerator again.
The requests to change gear may take place through: In the MANUAL operating mode the display shows the gear engaged. – the control lever on the centre console (A-fig. 124); In this operating mode, the decision to change gear is left to the driver who decides the most appropriate moment. – the buttons on the steering wheel (fig. 125), which can be operated only when the car speed exceeds 0.5 km/h. The MANUAL operating mode is set when, with the CITY mode selected, the CITY button (A-fig.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR With the accelerator pedal pressed to over 60% of its stroke and an engine speed above 5000 rpm, gearshifting becomes quicker. In the MANUAL operating mode there are certain automatic/security devices which simplify driving: – if sticking occurs during the engagement of a gear, the system firstly tries to engage the required gear again and, if it is still not possible, it automatically engages the immediately higher one to avoid leaving the car in neutral .
Failures to the Selespeed gearbox are indicated on the display by warning light t (fig. 127), dedicated message and buzzer. If the warning light t and the message are displayed, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible to have the fault eliminated.

The devices used to reduce petrol engine emissions are: The devices used to reduce diesel fuel engine emissions are: – oxidising catalyst; – exhaust gas recirculation system (E. G. R.); – diesel particulate filter (DPF). – trivalent catalytic converter (catalytic silencer); – Lambda sensors; – anti-evaporation system. If one or more spark plugs are disconnected, do not run the engine, even for a test. During normal service the catalyst and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR 168 Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the car. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be considered as faults and they do not affect car performance and environment.
STARTING THE ENGINE IMPORTANT The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device. If the engine fails to start, see the “Alfa Romeo CODE system”. We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full car performance (for example excessive acceleration, long journeys at top speed, hard braking etc.).
CORRECT USE OF THE CAR STARTING PROCEDURE FOR JTD VERSIONS 1) Make sure the handbrake is engaged. 2) Set the gearshift lever to neutral. 3) Turn the ignition key to MAR. The reconfigurable multifunction display will show the m warning light. 4) Wait for the m to turn off, which takes place sooner, the warmer the engine. With the engine very warm the light might stay on for such a short time as to pass unnoticed. 5) Fully depress the clutch pedal.
– Release the accelerator pedal and wait until the engine reaches idle speed. – Turn the ignition key to the STOP position and switch off the engine. IMPORTANT After a tiring journey it is advisable to let the engine “get its breath back” allowing it to idle a while to lower the temperature in the engine compartment. For cars with turbocharger in particular, but for all cars in general, sharp accelerating should be avoided before switching the engine off.
CORRECT USE OF THE CAR PARKING When the car is parked, proceed as follows: – Switch off the engine. – Engage the handbrake. – Engage first gear if the car is faced uphill or reverse if the car is facing downhill. – Turn the front wheels so that the car will immediately come to a halt if the handbrake slips. To avoid useless consumption of power and possible draining of the battery, never leave the ignition key in the MAR position when the engine is not running. Never leave children unattended in the car.
Starting Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster. Pointless manoeuvres Top speed Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
CORRECT USE OF THE CAR TOWING TRAILERS IMPORTANT NOTES To make sure the maximum towable weight is not exceeded (given in the log book) account should be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories and personal belongings. For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted with a certified tow hook and an adequate electric system. Installation should be carried out by specialised personnel who release a special document for circulation on the road.
Any electric brake should be supplied directly by the battery through a cable with a crosssection of no less than 2.5 mm2. In addition to the electrical branches, the car electric system can only be connected to the supply cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light, though not above 15W. INSTALLATION LAYOUT (fig. 1) The tow hook structure must be fastened in the points shown by the symbol Ø using 4 M8 screws and 7 M10 screws.
CORRECT USE OF THE CAR A0A0680b Existing holes Existing holes SECTION A-A 2 M10 screws 3 M10 screws 4 M8 screws 2 M10 screws Standard tow ball 176 fig.
It is necessary therefore to limit their use to the purposes for which they are certified. SNOW CHAINS These tyres are specially designed for driving on snow and ice, to be fitted in replacement of those fitted on the car.
CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Deactivate the ASR system when snow chains are fitted. Press the ASR-OFF button, button led turned on. Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car (adjust tyre pressure to the specified value as soon as possible) and the space-saver spare wheel should be fitted to the rear.
In an emergency we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can also consult www.alfaromeo.com to find Alfa Romeo Authorised Services your nearest EMERGENCY STARTING 3) Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it pressed. The U warning light will come on for eight seconds and then go off, now release the accelerator pedal.
IN AN EMERGENCY STARTING WITH AN AUXILIARY BATTERY If the battery is flat (for battery with optical hydrometer: dark colour without green area in the centre), it is possible to start the engine using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one. Proceed as follows (fig.
IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE Never push, tow or coast start the car. This could cause fuel to flow into the catalyst damaging it irreversibly. If the car is equipped with “Kit for tyre repair Fix&Go“, see the instructions contained in the following chapter. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS As an alternative to the FIX & GO, the car can be provided (upon request) with spacesaver spare wheel or standard wheel; wheel changing and correct use of the jack call for some precautions as listed below.
IN AN EMERGENCY 182 The spare wheel has a sticker that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered. The sticker contains the following in four languages: CAUTION! FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY! MAX 80 km/h! REPLACE BY NORMAL WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL IN USE. Never fit a wheel cap on a compact spare wheel. The car will handle differently with the spare wheel fitted: avoid heavy braking and accelerating, sharp corners and fast bends.
Please be informed that: – the jack mass is 2.100 kg. – Stop the car in such a position that it is not dangerous for the traffic, where it is possible to change the wheel safely. Where possible, park on a level, compact surface. – Switch off the engine and engage the handbrake. – the jack requires no adjustment. – the jack cannot be repaired. In the event of breakage, it must be replaced by another original one. – Use handle(A-fig.2) to remove the stiff covering (B). – Loosen the clamping device (A-fig.
IN AN EMERGENCY – Using the wrench provided (A-fig. 5), loosen the fastening bolts by about one turn. – Set the jack under the car, near the wheel to be changed taking care not to damage the plastic streamlined guard. – Work the jack crank (A-fig. 6), to extend it until the groove (B) on the upper part of jack is correctly inserted on the lower profile of the body (C) approx. 40 cm from the profile of the wheelhouse. – Work the jack and raise the car until the wheel is a few centimetres from the ground.
– Lower the car and remove the jack. – Using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in the sequence shown previously for the compact spare wheel fig. 8. – Place the cap near the wheel so that the inflation valve can come through the slot provided on the cap. – Press the circumference of the cap, starting from the parts nearest to the inflation valve until it is inserted completely. IMPORTANT Incorrect fitting may cause the wheel cap to come off when the car is travelling. – Tighten the pin (A-fig.
IN AN EMERGENCY QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT FIX&GO automatic – bottle A-fig. 10 containing sealer and fitted with: The car is equipped with a tyre quick repairing kit called “FIX&GO automatic”, replacing the tools and the compact spare wheel usually provided with the car. – sticker C with caution “max. 80 km/h”, to be affixed in a visible position for the driver (instrument panel) after repairing the tyre; The kit fig. 10 is placed in the boot.
In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres showing damages on the track or shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter. IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT: The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective with external temperatures between –20°C and +50°C. The sealing fluid has limited life. Holes and damages on the tyre side walls cannot be repaired. Do not use the quick tyre repair kit if damaging is due to running with flat tyre. The cylinder contains ethylene glycol.
IN AN EMERGENCY The compressor shall not be operated for more than 20 minutes. Risk of overheating!. Tyres repaired with the quick tyre repair kit shall be used temporarily only. – loosen tyre inflation valve cap, take out the filler hose A-fig. 14 and screw the ring nut B-fig. 15 on the tyre valve; INFLATING PROCEDURE Put on the protection gloves provided together with quick tyre repair kit. A0A1098b Proceed as follows: Replace the cylinder if sealer has run out.
– inflate the tyre to the correct pressure value. Check tyre pressure on gauge B-fig. 16 with compressor off to obtain precise reading; – if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage compressor from valve and current outlet, then move the car forth for approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation; – if after this operation it is still impossible after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.
IN AN EMERGENCY – after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check again the tyre pressure; pull up the handbrake; – drive with the utmost care to the nearest Alfa Romeo Authorized Service. If the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do not drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee proper hold because the tyre is too much damaged. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
To replace the cylinder proceed as follows: – disconnect connection A-fig. 20 and hose B; – turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to replace and raise it; – reconnect connection A or hose B into the proper space. It is of vital importance to communicate that the tyre has been repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Hand the instruction sticker to the personnel charged with treating the tyre repaired with the kit.

IN AN EMERGENCY IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT BATTERY Before anything else, you are advised to read the precautions for preventing the battery from draining and for ensuring long life in the “car maintenance” chapter. CHARGING THE BATTERY IMPORTANT The battery charging procedure is described only for information purposes. This operation should be carried out by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services. Charging should be slow at a low amp rating for 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may damage the battery.
The tow ring supplied with the car is housed in the tool box under the boot mat. – Firmly screw the ring in its housing. To install the tow ring, proceed as follows: – Take the tow ring from the tool box. – Remove the cover (A) snap-fitted on the front (fig. 55) or rear (fig. 56) bumper. To do this, using the flat-bladed screwdriver provided, protect the tip with a soft cloth to avoid damaging the car. Before tightening the ring carefully clean the threaded housing.
IN AN EMERGENCY Do not start the engine when towing the car. IMPORTANT For versions with Selespeed transmission, make sure that the gears are in neutral (N) (checking that the car moves if pushed) and then proceed as for towing a normal car with mechanical transmission, following the instructions given previously. Should it be impossible to set the gears to neutral, do not tow the car and contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
– In motorways pileups, especially with poor visibility, the risk of being involved in other crashes is high. Leave the car immediately and go beyond the guard-rail. – It is important to keep calm. – If you are not directly involved, stop at least a few dozen metres away from the accident. – If doors are blocked, do not try to get out of the car breaking the windscreen which is stratified. The windows and rear screen are easier to break. – On motorways, stop without blocking the emergency lane.
CAR MAINTENANCE CAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED SERVICING Correct maintenance is determined in ensuring long car life under the best conditions. This is why Alfa Romeo has programmed a series of checks and maintenance operations every 20,000 km. IMPORTANT On versions fitted with reconfigurable multifunction display, at 2000 km from the maintenance deadline, the display will show “REFER TO SERVICE MANUAL” which is shown again turning the ignition key to MAR, every 200 km.

For cars with an annual mileage of below 20,000 km (for example about 10,000 km) the following yearly inspection programme is advised: – Check tyre conditions/wear and if necessary adjust the pressure (including spare wheel) – Check operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indicators, hazard warning lights, boot, passenger compartment, glovebox lights, warning lights, etc.
CAR MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT Engine oil IMPORTANT Diesel filter IMPORTANT Air cleaner Should prevailing use of the car be under one of the following specially heavy conditions: The variety of the degree of purity of the fuel oil in commerce may make it necessary to change the fuel oil filter more frequently than stated in the Scheduled Maintenance Programme. If the engine is “sobbing” it is a sign that the filter needs changing.
IMPORTANT Pollen filter It is advisable to check the battery charge, preferably at the onset of winter, to prevent the possibility of the electrolyte freezing. If the car is used frequently in dusty or heavily polluted environments it is advisable to replace the filtering element more frequently; in particular it should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of air admitted to the passenger compartment is noted.
CAR MAINTENANCE A0A0736b CHECKING LEVELS Never smoke while working in the engine compartment; gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire. When topping up take care not to confuse the various types of fluids: they are incompatible with one another and could seriously damage the car. fig. 1 - 1.8 T.
CAR MAINTENANCE A0A0683b 1 Engine oil - 2 Battery - 3 Brake fluid 4 Windscreen/rear window/headlight washer fluid - 5 Engine coolant - 6 Power steering fluid fig. 3 - 3.2 V6 version A0A0396b 1 Engine oil - 2 Battery - 3 Brake fluid 4 Windscreen/rearscreen/headlamp washer fluid - 5 Engine coolant fluid - 6 Power steering fluid fig.
CAR MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL (fig. 5-6-7-8) The engine oil should be checked with the car on a level surface a few minutes (about 5) after the engine has been switched off. Remove the dipstick (A), clean it, put it back in completely, remove it and check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. The interval between the MIN and MAX marks correspond to about one litre of oil. When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the engine compartment to avoid burns.
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km. During the initial period of use the engine settles, therefore engine oil consumption may be considered stabilised only after the first 5000 ÷ 6000 km. IMPORTANT Engine oil consumption depends on the way of driving and the conditions of use of the car. SELESPEED TRANSMISSION OIL (fig. 9) The Selespeed transmission oil should be checked with the car on a level surface and with the engine stopped and cold.
CAR MAINTENANCE ENGINE COOLANT FLUID (fig. 10) Do not remove the cap when the engine is hot: danger of burns. The level of the coolant in the header tank (reservoir) should be checked with the engine cold and the car on a level surface and it should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the tank. A0A0240b 226 fig. 10 If the level is low, loosen the header tank cap (A) and slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU UP FL Selenia through the filler neck until nearing the MAX mark.
Check that the level of the oil in the reservoir is at maximum. This operation should be carried out with the car on a level surface and the engine switched off and cold. Check that the level reaches the MAX mark on the reservoir or coincides with the upper notch (maximum level) on the dipstick (A) integral with the reservoir cap.
CAR MAINTENANCE Make sure that the highly corrosive brake fluid does not drip onto the paintwork. If it does, wash it off immediately with water. IMPORTANT Brake and hydraulic clutch fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the Scheduled Maintenance Programme. Brake and clutch fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive.
The air cleaner is connected to the temperature and air flow sensors which send to the control unit the electric signals needed for correct operation of the injection and ignition system. It must therefore always be in perfect conditions, to ensure correct operation of the engine, low consumption and exhaust emission levels. If the operations concerning cleaner replacement described below are not carried out correctly and with the due precautions, they may compromise the travelling safety of the car.
CAR MAINTENANCE POLLEN FILTER BATTERY Have the dust/pollen filter checked once a year by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services, preferably at the onset of summer. The battery is of the “Limited maintenance” type: under normal conditions of use the electrolyte does not need topping up with distilled water. If the car is mainly used in dusty or heavily polluted areas, the filter should be changed at more frequent intervals than specified in the Scheduled Maintenance Programme.
CHECKING THE CHARGE The battery charge may be checked through the indicator A (where required) set on the battery cover and acting according to the colour the indicator shows. Should the battery be not fitted with battery charge inspection device (optical electrolyte indicator), inspection operations shall be carried out by skilled personnel only. Refer to the table below or to the label (fig. 15) on the battery itself.
CAR MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT If the battery is kept with a charge of below 50% it is damaged by sulphation, its starting capability is reduced and it is also more subject to the possibility of freezing (this may occur already at -10 °C). In the event of a prolonged inactivity, refer to the paragraph “car inactivity”, in the chapter “Correct use of the car”. CHANGING THE BATTERY When changing the battery it should be replaced with another original one with the same characteristics.
Battery Maximum permissible loadless absorption 60 Ah 36 mA 70 Ah 42 mA WHEELS AND TYRES Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear: (A): normal pressure: tread evenly worn. TYRE PRESSURE Check the tyre pressure of every wheel, including the spare, every two weeks and before a long journey. The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
CAR MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT NOTES – Where possible, avoid sudden braking, tyre squealing starts, violent bumps against kerbs, potholes or obstacles of various kinds. Prolonged driving on rough roads may damage the tyres; – Routinely check the tyres for cuts on the sides, swellings or uneven tread wear.
BLADES Periodically clean the rubber part using special products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended. If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be replaced. In any case they should be changed once a year. SPRAY NOZZLES (fig. 18) Changing the windscreen wiper blade (fig. 17) If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is fluid in the reservoir: see “Checking levels” in this chapter.
CAR MAINTENANCE HEADLIGHT WASHERS BODYWORK (fig. 19) Regularly check that the spray jets are intact and clean. If it is necessary to direct the jet, contact an Alfa Romeo Authorized Service. PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS The main causes of corrosion are: – atmospheric pollution – salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates) – seasonal environment conditions.
Paint The paintwork does not only serve an aestethic purpose but also protects the underlying sheet metal. In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised to have the necessary touching up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Only original products should be used for touching up paint (see “Body paint identification plate” in the “Technical Specifications” chapter). Normal paint maintenance consists in washing at intervals depending on the conditions and environment of use.
CAR MAINTENANCE Windows Engine compartment INTERIOR FITTINGS Use specific products to clean the windows. Use clean cloths to avoid scratching or altering the transparency of the glass. At the end of the winter the engine compartment should be carefully washed, without directing the jet against electronic control units. Contact a specialised workshop to have this done. Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS – Remove dried on dirt with a lightly moistened chamois leather or cloth without pressing too hard. For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts use a soft cloth moistened with water and neutral soap. Remove grease or persisting stains using appropriate solvent-free products designed to preserve appearance and colour of plastic components. – Remove liquid and grease stains with a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing.
