2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo instrument panel

IN AN EMERGENCY
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 your nearest Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.STARTING THE ENGINEIf the
warning light on the instrument panel remains on constantly,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services immediately.
JUMP STARTINGIf the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an auxiliary
battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle:
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the terminal) of the two
batteries with a jump lead fig. 113;❒with a second cable, connect the negative terminal(–)ofthe
auxiliary battery to an earthing point
on the engine or the
gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine; afterwards, follow the sequence above in reverse
order to remove the cables.
For versions with Start&Stop system, to carry out the jump starting
procedure, refer to the paragraph “Start&Stop system” in the “Getting
to know your car” section.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services if you cannot start the engine
after several attempts.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the two batteries
directly! If the auxiliary battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of the two cars.
Never use a fast battery-charger to start the engine as this
could damage the electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.

CLEANING ALCANTARA SEATSAlcantara trim can be treated and cleaned easily in the same way as
the other trims. The same indications given for cleaning fabrics are
also therefore applicable for this trim.LEATHER SEATS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp cloth, without
exercising too much pressure. Remove liquid or oil stains using a dry
absorbent cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth or
buckskin cloth dampened with water and neutral soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the cleaning products
used contain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTSClean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if possible made from
microfibre), and a solution of water and neutral, non-abrasive
detergent. To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products free
from solvents and designed to maintain the original appearance
and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not recommended as these may
leave residues.LEATHER PARTS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to clean these parts. Never use
alcohol or alcohol-based products. Before using a specific product for
cleaning interiors, make sure that it does not contain alcohol and/or
alcohol based substances.
