READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLINGDo not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital
components of the supply system.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with mechanical gearbox
Make sure the electric parking brake is engaged, press the clutch pedal and then press the ignition button briefly.
Versions with automatic transmission
Make sure that the electric parking brake is engaged and that the transmission is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the brake pedal and then press the
ignition device button.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter
at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could
cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That
number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

Storing the driver’s seat positions
Buttons 5 fig. 16 allow to store and recall
three different driver’s seat positions.
Storing and recalling is possible with the
ignition device in the ON position andwith the vehicle standing with the vehicle

position. The performed position
memorisation is confirmed by an acoustic
warning.
To memorise a seat position, adjust it
with the various controls, then press the
button where you want to memorise the
position for 1.5 seconds. When a new
seat position is memorised, the
previously memorised position on the
same button is automatically
overwritten.
Recalling a memorised position is also
possible for about 3 minutes after the
doors are opened and about 1 minute
after the engine is stopped. To recall a
memorised position, press the relevant
button briefly.
EASY ENTRY FUNCTION
The Easy Entry function is designed to

AUTO FUNCTION (Dusk sensor)
This is implemented by an infrared LED
sensor on the windscreen that works in
conjunction with the rain sensor. It is able
to detect variations in the outside light
level based on the light sensitivity set
through the Connect system.
The dusk sensor sensitivity can be
adjusted according to 3 levels: level
1=minimum sensitivity, level 2=average
sensitivity, level 3=maximum sensitivity.
The higher the sensitivity set, the lesser
is the external light variation needed to
switch the lights on (e.g. with a setting on
level 3 at sunset the headlights come on
earlier than levels 1 and 2).
Function activation
Turn the light switch to AUTO.
IMPORTANT The function can only be
activated with the ignition device at ON.
Function deactivation
Turn the light switch to a position other
than AUTO.

Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This air distribution
setting is useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen and
front side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up
efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.
Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/defrosting
vents and side and central
dashboard vents. This allows air to
be sent to the windscreen in
conditions of strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all diffusers
on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the air conditioner
automatically manages the air
distribution. When set manually, the air
distribution is indicated by the respective
symbols on the Connect system display
switching on.
START & STOP EVO
The automatic dual zone climate control
system manages the Start & Stop Evo
(engine off when vehicle speed is 0 mph
(0 km/h)) to ensure adequate comfort
inside the vehicle.
In particular, the climate control system
turns off the Stop & Start Evo if:
the climate control system is in AUTO
mode (LED on the button switched on)
and the temperature conditions inside
the car are far from a comfort
temperature;
the climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling;
the climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status.With Stop & Start Evo on (engine off and
vehicle speed equal to 0 mph (0 km/h)),
the flow is reduced as much as possible,
to maintain the passenger compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R1234yf coolant gas,
which does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the components
of the system.
