If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
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. 68open the
access flap 2.Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
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 turn it anticlockwise.
105)
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
(for versions/markets, where provided)
In case of emergency, pull the cord
fig. 70 on the right-hand side of the boot
to open the fuel flap.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they
intervene (blow) in the event of a failure
or improper action on the system.
Use the pliers located inside the cover of
the engine compartment fuse box to
remove the fuses (see “Engine
compartment fuse box” for how to
remove the cover).
VERSIONS WITH "ALFA TCT"
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Alfa TCT transmission components
are protected by specific fuses. Contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership if a fuse needs
replacing.
FUSEBOXS
Fuses are grouped together in fuseboxes
located in the engine compartment, on
the dashboard and inside the boot.
Engine compartment junction box
This is located next to the battery fig. 84:
to access the fuses, undo screws 1
fig. 83 and remove cover 2.

CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
115) 116) 117) 118) 119) 120)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Jack maintenance:
prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
never modify the jack.
Conditions in which not to use the jack:
temperature below -40°C
on sandy or muddy ground
on uneven ground
on steep roads
in extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc.
in direct contact with the engine or to
carry out repairs under the vehicle
on boats.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1stgear or
reverse. Wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out of
the vehicle;
open the luggage compartment, lift
the mat using the tab provided;
using wrench 1 fig. 90 located in the
tool box, loosen the locking device, take
the tool box 2 and place it close to the
wheel to be replaced, then take the
space-saver wheel 3;
take the wrench 1 fig. 91 and loosen
the fixing bolts by about one turn. For
versions with alloy rims, shake the car to
facilitate detachment of the rim from the
wheel hub;
position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed. On versions
where this is fitted, be careful not to
damage the plastic aerodynamic guard;
operate the device 1 fig. 92 so as to
raise the jack, until the upper part is
correctly inserted in the side member at
the point indicated by the arrow
fig. 92. The lifting points 3 are shown
in fig. 93.

IN AN EMERGENCY
Move the vehicle by approximately 10 m
to promote the distribution of sealant;
stop the vehicle safely, operate the
handbrake and restore pressure using
the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 103 to
reach the required pressure. Also in this
case, if the pressure is lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi within 15 minutes from the
compressor switching on, do not resume
driving but contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the car in a safe and suitable
area and engage the handbrake. Take the
compressor and restore pressure using
the black inflation tube 9 fig. 103.If the pressure shown is higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure and
drive safely to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible. If the pressure is
lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, do not resume
driving but contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the vehicle safely, as shown
above, and operate the handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube 9
fig. 103 and screw it firmly onto the tyre
valve. Follow the instructions shown in

the kit, ensure that the tyre is not
excessively damaged and that the rim is in
good condition, otherwise do not use it and
call roadside assistance. Do not remove
foreign bodies from the tyre. Do not let the
compressor turned on for more than
20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.
IMPORTANT
37)The sealant is effective with external
temperatures of between -40°C and +55°C.
The sealant has an expiry date. It is possible
