52)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windscreen,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle driving
in a transverse or opposite way on the same
lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid
scratching the windscreen. The camera
operation may also be limited or absent in
some driving, traffic and road surface
conditions.REAR BACK-UP CAMERA /

STARTING AND DRIVING

SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAY
If activated, the grid is positioned on the
image to highlight the width of the
vehicle and the expected reversing path
in accordance with the steering wheel
position.
A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the car to
facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow
hook alignment. The various coloured
areas indicate the distance from the rear
part of the car.
The table below shows the approximate
distances for each area fig. 116:
AreaDistance from the rear
part of the car
Red 0-1ft(0–30cm)
Y
ellow 1 - 3.3 ft (30 cm-1m)
Green 3.3 ft (1 m) or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
121)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow
speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
IMPORTANT
53)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while cleaning
it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
camera must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations which use
steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do
not apply stickers to the camera.
REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
122) 123) 124)
Always stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 91
(EN228 specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use automotive diesel fuel
(EN590 and EN16734 specifications).
REFUELLING PROCEDURE
The fuel flap is unlocked when the central
door locking system is released, while it
is automatically locked when the central
locking system is applied.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
open flap 2 fig. 117, pressing on the
point shown by the arrow fig. 118;
remove the closing cap 2;
put the cap 4 back in position;
introduce the dispenser in the filler

order for the fuel to flow inside the tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler, close the cap and then close the
flap.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to the
tank. AdBlue® freezes under 12.2°F
(–11°C). Although the system is
designed to operate below the freezing
point of AdBlue®, it is advisable not to
fill the tank beyond the maximum level
because if the AdBlue® freezes the
system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in the “Topping up AdBlue®
diesel emissions additive” paragraph in
this chapter.
If AdBlue® is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
AdBlue® was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Do not add additives or other fluids
to AdBlue®, doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into another
container: it could be contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least
by not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter to continue using the car
normally.
The AdBlue® level is not updated if
the car is parked on a sloping road.
Fuels - identification of vehicle
compatibility. Graphic symbol for
consumer information in accordance
with EN16942
The symbols, shown below, make it easier
to recognise the correct fuel type to use
with your car.
Before refuelling, check the symbols
(where provided) inside the fuel filler flap
and compare them with the symbols
shown on the fuel pump (where provided).PETROL ENGINES
Inside the flap there is also the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL = petrol) and the
symbol (where provided) that certifies
compliance with the EN228 (petrol)
standard fig. 119.
Symbols for petrol powered cars
E5: unleaded petrol containing up to
2.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
5.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with the
EN228 specification.
E10: unleaded petrol containing up to
3.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
10.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with the
EN228 specification.
