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.
Correctly carrying out the scheduled services specified by the manufacturer is the best way to maintain the performance, safety characteristics
and low running costs of your car. It is also necessary to maintain warranty cover.

Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steer-
ing wheel and on the pas-
senger’s air bag cover. Do not put
objects on the dashboard on the
passenger’s side (e.g. cell phones)
because they may interfere with
the correct passenger’s air bag
opening and seriously injure the oc-
cupants of the car.
The driver’s and passenger’s front air bag
has been designed to improve the protec-
tion of a person wearing a seat belt.
Its volume at maximum inflation fills most
of the space between the steering wheel
and the driver and between the dashboard
and the passenger.
In the event of minor side crashes (for
which the restraining action of the seat belts
is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed.
Also in this case it is of vital importance to
wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning of
the occupant. DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained in a special recess in the centre of
the steering wheel (fig. 50). The front air bag (driver’s and passenger’s)
does not replace but is complementary to
the use of belts, which should always be
worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
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 cir-
cumstances the protection offered by the
cushion is reduced.
Front air bags may not be triggered in the
following conditions:
– collisions against highly deformable ob-
jects which do not concern the car front sur-
face (for example the bumper crashing
against the guard rail);
– wedging under other cars or protective
barriers (for example under a lorry or guard
rail);
as they do not offer any more protection
than the seat belts and therefore activation
would be inappropriate. Therefore the fail-
ure to be triggered does not mean that the
system is not working properly.

RADIO
TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Mobile phones and other radio transceiv-
er equipment (e.g.: HAM radio systems and
the like) shall not be used inside the car un-
less a separate aerial is mounted.
IMPORTANTThe use of mobile phones,
HAM radio systems or other similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (without
separate aerial) may cause electronic sys-
tems equipping the car to malfunction. This
could compromise safety in addition to con-
stituting a potential hazard for the passen-
gers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the shield-
ing effect of the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS) with homologa-
tion, keep strictly to the mobile phone man-
ufacturer’s specifications.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY
THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a perma-
nent electric supply (alarm, voice feature,
radionavigator with satellite antitheft, etc.)
or accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable devices
belonging to Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo, will
also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car electric system is
able to withstand the load required, or
whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after
buying the car or in aftermarket shall bear
the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation
of transceivers provided that installation is
carried out at a specialized shop, work-
manlike performed and in compliance with
manufacturer’s specifications.
IMPORTANTInstallation of devices re-
sulting in modifications of car characteristics
may cause driving license seizing by traffic
agents and also the lapse of the warranty
as concerns defects due to the abovemen-
tioned modification or traceable back to it
directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility
for damages caused by the installation of
non-genuine accessories or not recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified re-
quirements.

TA function
(traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1,
FM2 and FMT) are enabled to also broad-
cast information about traffic conditions. In
this case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic announcement) func-
tion on/off, briefly press button MENU and
then select “TA ON” or “TA OFF”.
IMPORTANTIf the TA function (traffic
information) is on, with CD, CD Changer (if
installed), Telephone or Mute/Pause active:
automatic station tuning will start.
With the TA function it is possible:
– to search only RDS stations that trans-
mit in the FM band, enabled to broadcast
traffic information;
– to receive traffic information although
CD player or CD Changer are being used;
– to receive traffic information at a pre-
defined minimum volume even with the ra-
dio volume off. IMPORTANTIn certain countries radio
stations exist which, even if the TP function
is on (the display shows “TP”), do not trans-
mit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band,
when TA is activated, it passes to the FM1
band on the last station heard.
The volume with which the traffic bulletin
is transmitted varies depending on the lis-
tening volume:
– listening volume below 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = 20 (fixed value);
– listening volume above 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic
bulletin the value is not shown on the dis-
play and the new value is kept only for the
bulletin in progress.
The TA function is interrupted by pressing
any sound system button. AF function
(alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can work
in two different modes:
– “AF ON”: alternative frequency search
on (the display shows “AF”);
– “AF OFF”: alternative frequency search
off.
With “AF ON”, the radio is automatically
tuned to the station with the strongest sig-
nal that is broadcasting the same pro-
gramme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the station
chosen without having to change the fre-
quency when changing area.
Of course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car is
crossing.
To turn the AF function on/off, press but-
ton MENU, and then select “AF ON” or “AF
OFF”. If the AF function has been turned on
the display shows “AF”.
If the radio is working in the AM band,
when the AF function is activated, it pass-
es to the FM1 band on the last station se-
lected.
