CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
This system prevents the rear doors from
being opened from the inside.
This device 1 fig. 5 can be engaged only
with the doors open:
position A - device engaged (door
locked);
position B - device not engaged (door
may be opened from the inside).
The device remains engaged even if the
doors are electrically unlocked.

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel supply
systems: one for petrol and one for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY/ACTIVE SAFETY
Although the LPG system has numerous
safety features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the vehicle is not in
use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident:
unscrew the fixing devices 1 fig. 34,
then remove the cover 2;
Close the LPG cock rotating the ring 1
fig. 35 clockwise.
refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
IMPORTANT
10)The car is equipped with a specifically
designed gaseous LPG injection system: it is
therefore absolutely forbidden to alter the
configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components or
materials could cause malfunctions and lead
to a reduction in safety; therefore, in the
case of problems, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. When towing or lifting the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the main
handbook under the paragraph on "Towing
the vehicle" to prevent damage to the gas
system parts.
11)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
12)When using a painting oven, the LPG
tank should be removed from the car and
later carefully refitted at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable to
proceed as follows every time the vehicle is
not in use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the devices fastening the
cover of the LPG tank, then remove it. Close
the LPG cock rotating the ring nut clockwise
(see "Passive safety / active safety"). Refit
the cover and retighten the fastening
devices.13)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
14)It is strictly forbidden to use any additive
in the LPG. Periodically (at least once every
six months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first refuelling, to
check that it does not exceed the maximum
capacity of 38 litres (reserve included) (with
a tolerance of 2 litres excess). If the level is
above 38 litres (reserve included) contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership immediately.
15)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching logic
described above, a delay between the valve
ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.
16)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low propane
content, the system may switch temporarily
to petrol operation, without a visual
indication of switching on the instrument
panel. In the event of low LPG levels in the
tank or request for high performance (e.g.
overtaking, car fully laden, steep hills) the
system may automatically switch to petrol
operation to guarantee the engine power
requested; the green warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate this.
When the above conditions are no longer
present, the system automatically restores
LPG operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol tank.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with
the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank
before the fuel.
When using or parking the car 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.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a "non return", located in
the filler body itself.
To access the filler 1 fig. 68 open the
access flap 2.
Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter 3 over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
The fuel cap is unlocked when the central
locking system is released and
automatically clocked when the central
locking system is applied.
Opening
Press flap 2 fig. 69 to release it and
access fuel tank cap 1. Then press cap
1 and rotate it anticlockwise.
107)
The cap is provided with a retention
device 4 which attaches it to the flap and
prevents it from being lost. Attach the
cap to device 3 during refuelling.
How to open the flap in an emergency
In case of emergency, pull the cord
fig. 70 on the right-hand side of the
luggage compartment to open the fuel
flap.

Pulling the cord releases the flap lock: the
flap can then can be opened by pressing
it.
Closing
Release cap 1 from device 3 and insert it
in its housing. Then tighten the cap
clockwise until one or more clicks are
heard. Finally, close flap A checking that
it is correctly locked.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing off,
while slackening the cap is absolutely
normal.
