cessori Alfa Romeo.
fig. 78A0K0117m
After having travelled several kilometres check that
the attachment fixing screws are still securely fas-
tened.
Distribute the load uniformly and when driving
take into consideration the increased sensitivity
to cross winds.
Always obey local legislation regarding maximum
load size.
Never exceed the maximum permitted load
(see the “Technical Specifications” chapter) .

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may help you to save fuel and
lower the amount of harmful emissions released into the atmos-
phere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” (see chapter “Servicing and mainte-
nance”).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4 weeks: if the pres-
sure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling
is higher.
Unnecessar y loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the car and
its arrangement greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration and have a nega-
tive effect on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to trans-
port particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. The heat-
ed rear windscreen, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan require a considerable amount of energy; increasing the
current uptake increases fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system will increase consumption: use
the air vents when the external temperature so allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect aerodynam-
ics and fuel consumption.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are deter-
mined on the basis of the homologation tests laid down by specific
European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❍urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates
urban use of the car;
❍extra urban cycle: driving simulating the use of the vehicle in
a non-urban situation with frequent acceleration in all gears;
the speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❍combined consumption: about 37% of the urban cycle and
around 63% of the non-urban cycle.IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions,
driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack,
other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel con-
sumption levels than those measured.
