INITIALISATION PROCEDUREAfter the battery has been disconnected or a fuse has blown, the
operation of the sun roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button B fig. 54 until the roof is completely closed. Release the
button;
❒press B button and keep it pressed for at least 10 seconds and/or
until the glass panel clicks forwards. Release the button at this point;
❒within 5 seconds of the previous operation, press button B and hold
it down: the front glass panel will complete a full opening and
closing cycle. Only release the button at the end of this cycle.
MAINTENANCE/EMERGENCYIn the event of emergency or maintenance, the roof can be moved
manually when there is no power supply (opening/closing of the front
glass panel) by carrying out the following operations:
❒remove the protective cap A fig. 56 located on the internal lining,
between the two sun blinds;
❒take the Allen key B supplied, which is located in the on-board
documentation container or in the tool container in the luggage
compartment;
❒introduce the key into housing C and turn it clockwise to open the

REFUELLING THE CARStop the engine before refuelling.PETROL ENGINESOnly use unleaded petrol. The petrol octane rating (RON) must not be
lower than 95. In order to prevent damage to the catalytic converter
never introduce even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency.DIESEL ENGINESUse only diesel fuel compliant with European specification EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused.
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with consequent defective operation of the
fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel fuel are
distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel whose
features are not suitable for the temperature of use, it is advisable
to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive with the fuel, in the proportions
shown on the container. Pour the additive into the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the mountains
or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using locally available fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
FUEL TANK CAPOpening
Open flap A fig. 88, pulling it outwards, hold cap B still, insert the
ignition key in the lock and turn it anticlockwise. Then turn the cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
The plug is provided with a loss prevention device C which secures it to
the flap, so it cannot be lost. Attach the cap to device D during
refuelling.

Closure
Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more. Then turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little
breathing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Also, keep your face away from
this fuel inlet to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel engine
emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and evaporation control
system
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions: oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust gas recirculation
system (EGR) and particulate filter (DPF).DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral to the
exhaust system, that physically traps carbon particles present in the
exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to eliminate almost all carbon
particle emissions in compliance with current/future regulations and
standards.
During standard use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set
of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will
then calculate how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be periodically
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.

IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags may be deployed if the car is
subject to violent impacts involving the underbody area (e.g. violent
impacts against steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the road etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of dust: the dust is
harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. The dust may
irritate the skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral soap
and water.
All operations on airbags (inspection, repair and replacement) must be
carried out by Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
If the car is to be scrapped, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to
have the airbag system deactivated.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in different ways, according to
the type of impact. Failure to deploy of one of the devices does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
If the
warning light does not switch on when the
key is turned to MAR-ON, or stays on while driving (on
some versions together with a message on the
display) there may be a fault in the restraint systems. In this
case, airbags or pretensioners may not be activated in the case
of an accident or (in a lesser number of cases) they may be
activated incorrectly. Before proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services to have the system checked immediately.
The expiry dates of the explosive charge and the clock
spring are shown on a specific label contained in the
glove compartment. As these dates approach, contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Workshops.Do not travel carrying objects in your lap, in front of
your chest or between your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.):
they could cause severe injury if the airbag is
deployed.If the car has been subject to theft, attempted theft,
vandalism, or flooding, have the airbag system
inspected at Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
