FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values 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 acceleration in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and
120 km/h;
❒combined 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 system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely
affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
For 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 its market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1 January 2007, vehicles registered
after 1 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 dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealerships, by
calling the freephone number 00800 2532 4200 or on the Alfa Romeo website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of 3.5 t
