FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval 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: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories,
use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to
different fuel consumption figures than those measured.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS
LIFEFor years, Alfa Romeo has pursued a global commitment to protect and respect the environment by continually improving its production processes
and developing increasingly eco-compatible products. To ensure its customers the best possible service in compliance with environmental standards
and in response to obligations arising out of European Directive 2000/53/EC on end of life vehicles, Alfa Romeo offers its customers the chance
to hand back their vehicles (*) at the end of their life cycle at no additional cost.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as a result of it
having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st
July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as
the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships or an Alfa Romeo authorised collection and
scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high-quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at
their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an Alfa Romeo Dealership or by calling the freephone
number 00800 2532 0000 or on the Alfa Romeo website.

INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the passenger
compartment's specific characteristics and with a personalised
design that complements the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We recommend that you
read them carefully.ADVICERoad safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio functions (e.g.
storing radio stations), before starting to drive.Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while driving. Reception
may be interfered with by the presence of mountains, buildings or
bridges, or when you are far away from the broadcaster.
NoteThe volume may be increased when receiving traffic alerts
and news.
If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the driver and for passengers
when driving in traffic. Always adjust the
volume so that you can still hear background noises.
Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth. Cleaning and
polishing products may damage the surface.
