FAILED ENGINE CUT-OUT CONDITIONS
When the system is operating, due to comfort, emission control
and safety reasons, the engine does not stop in some conditions,
among which:
❍engine still cold;
❍very cold outside temperature;
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍heated rear windscreen on;
❍windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❍particulate filter regeneration in progress (diesel engines only);
❍driver’s door not shut;
❍driver’s seat belt not fastened
❍reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking manoeuvres);
❍for versions equipped with dual zone automatic climate control
system (for versions/markets, where provided), if an adequate
level of thermal comfort has not been reached or MAX-DEF func-
tion activation;
❍during the first period of use, to initialize the system;
In these cases, a message is shown on the display and the sym-
bol
Uwill blink (the latter for versions/markets, where provid-
ed).
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled, for a contin-
uous operation of the climate control system.

Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, after 3 minutes from the engine stop-
ping, the engine can be restarted only using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not desired, due for
example to the clutch pedal being released sharply with a gear
engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can
be restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by placing the
gear lever in neutral
RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions and safety pur-
poses, the power unit can restart automatically without any action
on behalf of the driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❍battery not sufficiently charged;
❍windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❍low braking system vacuum, e.g. following the brake pedal be-
ing pressed repeatedly;
❍car in motion, for example when driving on hilly roads;
❍stopping the engine using Start&Stop longer than approxi-
mately 3 minutes;
❍for versions equipped with dual zone automatic climate control
system (for versions/markets, where provided), if an adequate
level of thermal comfort has not been reached or MAX-DEF func-
tion activation;
With gear engaged, the automatic engine restarting is possible on-
ly by fully pressing the clutch pedal. This operation is indicated to
the driver by means of a message on the display and by symbol
Ublinking (the latter for versions/markets, where provided).

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.

1 For 1.4 Turbo Petrol and 1.4 Turbo Multi Air versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent seri-
ous damage to the engine, it is essential to observe the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Petrol engines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand
(see the “Engine” paragraph in the “Technical Specifications” chapter);
- adhere strictly to the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan;
- You are advised to go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have the spare plugs replaced.

(*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing belt must be changed every four years for particularly demanding use (cold climates, city driving,
long periods of idling) or at least every five years in all other cases.
(**) The engine oil and the oil filter must be changed when the instrument panel warning light comes on (see “Warning lights and messages” in “Get-
ting to know your car” chapter) or in any case every 12 months.

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.
