REFUELING THE
VEHICLE
Refueling The Vehicle
Before refueling, make sure that the fuel
type is correct.
Also, stop the engine before refueling.
Note: An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
Caution!
Never introduce leaded fuel to the tank,
even in small amounts in an emergency, as
this would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
Refueling Capacity
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top off twice after the first
click of the fuel nozzle.
Further top-off could cause faults in the
fuel feeding system.
Refueling Procedure
The fuel filler door is unlocked when the
central door locking system is
unlocked. It is automatically locked
when the central locking system is
applied.
171

Opening The Fuel Filler Door
To refuel proceed as follows:
1. Open fuel filler door by pressing on
the point shown by the arrow.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, before removing the nozzle,
wait for at least 10 seconds in order for
the fuel to flow inside the tank.
5. Remove the fuel filler nozzle, tighten
the gas cap about ¼ turn until you hear
one click. This is an indication that cap
is properly tightened.The label indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL = gasoline).
Emergency Fuel Door Opening
In the event of an emergency the fuel
filler door can be opened by operating
from inside the trunk.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the deck lid and reach the
emergency opening cable placed on
the side of the fuel filler
2. Pull the cord to unlock the fuel filler
door
3. Open the fuel filler door by pressing
on it (see the previous instructions)
Warning!
Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may cause
the MIL to turn on.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped
into a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground while filling.
Note: If the filler compartment is
washed with a pressure washer, keep it
at a distance of at least 8 inches
(20 cm).GUID-07206S0001EMFuel Door

STARTING AND OPERATING

Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use standard
ventilation when the temperature
outside permits.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption levels.
Driving Style
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to drive off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: by doing this the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine.
This action is unnecessary and causes
increased fuel consumption and
pollution.
Gear Selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption. Improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.Max. Speed
Fuel consumption considerably
increases as speed increases. Maintain
a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration,
which cost in terms of both fuel
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
torque.
Conditions Of Use
Cold Starting
Short trips and frequent cold starts will
not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% in city driving)
and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in traffic with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Winding mountain roads and
rough road surfaces also adversely
affect consumption.
Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway
crossings) switch off the engine.
Transporting
Passengers
Warning!
It is extremely dangerous to leave
children in a parked vehicle when the
temperature outside is very high. The heat
inside the passenger compartment may
have serious, or even fatal, consequences.
Never travel in the trunk of the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, anyone inside
the trunk would be at greater risk of serious
or even fatal injury.
Ensure that all the occupants of the
vehicle wear their seat belts correctly and
that any children are positioned correctly
on the dedicated child restraint systems.
Transporting Animals
The intervention of the airbags may be
dangerous for an animal on the front
seat. It is therefore advised to arrange
animals on the rear seat inside
dedicated cages restrained by the
vehicle’s seat belts.
Keep in mind that, in the event of a
sudden braking or an accident, an
inadequately restrained animal may be
projected within the passenger
compartment, risking injury to the
animal itself and the other occupants of
the vehicle.
175

Exhaust Gas
Exhaust emissions are very dangerous,
and may be lethal. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
which can cause fainting and poisoning
if inhaled.
To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide,
take the following measures:
Do not keep the engine running in
closed spaces.
If, for some reason (e.g. transporting
bulky loads), it is necessary to drive
with the trunk open, close all the
windows and run the climate control fan
at maximum speed. DO NOT activate
air recirculation mode.
Should it be necessary to stay in the
stationary vehicle with engine running,
adjust the ventilation/heating system
and operate the fan in such a way that
outside air will enter the passenger
compartment. Activate the maximum
fan speed.
Maintenance of the exhaust system
provides the best protection against
leaks of carbon monoxide into the
passenger compartment.
Should an unusual noise from the
exhaust system or the presence of
exhaust gas in the passenger
compartment be identified, or if the
underbody or rear section of the vehicle
is damaged, have the entire exhaust
system and bodywork areas checked
to identify any components which are broken, damaged, worn or have moved
from their correct fitting position. If any
of these things occur, contact your
authorized dealer.
Open welding or loose connections
may permit exhaust gas to enter the
passenger compartment.
Check the exhaust system each time
the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change operations. Replace the
components if necessary, contact your
authorized dealer.
Performance
This vehicle is equipped with an engine
capable of delivering exceptionally fast
acceleration and speed:
Peak power: 505 HP at 6500 rpm.
Peak torque: 443 ft-lbs at
2500–5000 rpm.
Top speed: 190 mph (307 km/h).
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph
(0 to 100 km/h): 3.9 seconds.
For safe driving, it is essential,
particularly during the first days of use,
to get to know the car by driving
carefully and gradually discovering its
performance.
Brakes
The car braking system may be
available with four carbon-ceramic
material brake discs, one on each
wheel.
In order to guarantee the maximum
braking capacity for the first use, Alfa Romeo performs a "run-in" procedure
for discs and pads directly at the
factory.
The use of carbon-ceramic material
brake discs guarantees braking features
(better deceleration/pedal load ratio,
braking distances, fading resistance)
proportional to the dynamic features of
the car in addition to considerably
decreasing the unsprung component
weight.
The materials used and the structural
features of the system could generate
unusual noises which have absolutely
no adverse effect on correct operation
and reliability of the braking system.
Greater pressure may need to be
applied to the brake pedal the first time
to keep the same braking capacities in
presence of condensation or salt on the
braking surfaces, for example after
washing or if the car is not used for a
long time.
Note:
Given the high technological
level of this system, any servicing on it
must be performed by your authorized
dealer which exclusively has the skills
needed for the repair operations.
In case of intensive, high-performance
use of the car, have the efficiency of the
carbon-ceramic material braking
system inspected as shown on the
Maintenance Plan at your authorized
dealer.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Driving On Race Tracks
Before driving on a track using a racing
style, it is necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine
compartment. For more information,
see the “Checking Levels” section in
the “Servicing And Maintenance”
chapter.
Have the car inspected at your
authorized dealer.
Remember that the car was not
designed to be driven exclusive on the
race track and that this use increases
stress and component wear.
Preheating the carbon ceramic
material brake discs
The brake discs must be warmed up to
make them fully efficient. You are
advised to perform the following
procedure:
Brake nine times from 80 mph to
18 mph (130 km/h to 30 km/h) with
deceleration equal to 0.7g (the
longitudinal acceleration value is shown
on the instrument panel display by
setting RACE mode and selecting the
“Performance” page) with 20 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph (60 km/h
and 100 km/h) and do not brake for
4 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down;
Then brake three times from
124 mph to 18 mph (200 km/h to
30 km/h) with deceleration equal to
1.1g (ABS operation) with 30 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph (60 km/h
and 100 km/h) and do not brake for
5 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down.
