DEAR CUSTOMER
Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing Alfa Romeo.
We have written this Owner’s Manual to help you get to know all of the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way.
Please take the necessary time to familiarize yourself with all the dynamic features of your vehicle.
Here you will find important information and warnings regarding the use of your vehicle, and how to achieve the best performance
from the technical features of your Alfa Romeo.
You are advised to read through the Owner’s Manual before taking it on the road for the first time. It is important to become familiar
with the controls of your vehicle, especially with sections concerning the brakes, handling, transmission, and vehicle behavior on
different road surfaces.
This Owner’s Manual also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving,
care, and maintenance of your Alfa Romeo over time.
In the provided Warranty Booklet, you will also find a description of the services that Alfa Romeo offers to its customers. The New
Vehicle Limited Warranty will detail the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate both your new vehicle and the service provided by the people

Rollover Warning
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a
higher center of gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a wide variety of off-road applications.
Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it
may roll over while some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to
operate this vehicle safely may result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U.S. government
notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce
disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
Accessories Purchased By The Owner
Warning!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could
even be fatally injured.
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact your authorized dealer. Dealer personnel
will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
Note:Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation
of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the
pedal (mats, etc.).
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US
LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices
FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance
with manufacturer's specifications.
Note: Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed.
This also may void the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US
LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
