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. 35,
then remove the cover 2;
Close the LPG cock rotating the ring 1
fig. 36 clockwise.
Refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.
LPG TANK
The car has a pressurised tank for storing
LPG in a liquid state. It is toroidal and is
located in the spare wheel compartment
with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration and
the testing/inspection procedures of the
LPG tank can vary depending on the
national provisions in force in that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the
tank replaced.
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
21)
10)
The fig. 37 petrol/LPG switch is located
on the central tunnel and includes:
1 fig. 38: LPG/petrol switch;
2: LPG gauge consisting of five LEDs
(4 green and 1 red to indicate the
reserve). The orange LED turns on when
only one green LED is on;
3: Petrol operating mode indicator:
amber LED next to switch 1. This function
is controlled directly by the LPG control
unit;
4: LPG operating mode indicator:
Green LED next to switch 1. This function
is controlled directly by the LPG control
unit.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned
to MAR, all the LEDs will stay on for
approximately 4 seconds (check
function).
IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the LED for the operating mode
selected will stay on for approximately
2 seconds (LED 3 or 4).
Engine starting always occurs on petrol;
then, depending on the position of the
switch 1 the following occurs:
the switch pressed on the right side
(identified by the symbol
): indicates
petrol operation with activation of the
associated orange LED 3;
the switch pressed on the left side
(identified by the symbolG): indicates
LPG operation with activation of the
associated green LED 4.
If the LPG runs out, the system
automatically switches to petrol: theorange LED 3 comes on and the green
LED 4 indicating LPG operation goes off.
When the vehicle is refuelled with LPG
after a normal start-up on petrol, the fuel
system automatically returns to LPG: the
orange LED 3 switches off and the green
LED 4 for LPG operation switches on.
REFUELLING
12)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 39 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity. In addition,
after different refuelling processes, this
figure may vary due to differences
between the network pump supply
pressures, pumps having different
supply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
20)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under
this category.
21)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
22)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
5)The car is equipped with a gaseous LPG
injection system designed specifically for it:
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 a Fiat Dealership.
To prevent damage to the gas system parts
when towing or raising the vehicle, follow the
instructions in the "Towing the vehicle"
paragraph of the Owner Handbook.
6)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.

DISPLAY
The car is equipped with a reconfigurable
multifunction display that, according to
the previously applied settings, will show
useful driving information.
With the ignition key removed, the
display lights up and shows the time and
total odometer reading (in km or miles)
for a few seconds when a door is
opened/closed.
RECONFIGURABLE MULTIFUNCTION
DISPLAY
The following information is shown on the
display (example given in fig. 41 ):
1: Time
2: Area reserved for messages
(information, settings, etc)
3: Milometer (total distance covered
in km or miles).4: Car status indications (e.g. doors open,
possible ice on road, etc.)/Start&Stop
function indication (where
provided)/Gear Shift Indicator (where
provided)
5: Headlight alignment position (only with
dipped beam headlights on)
6: External temperature
The turbocharger pressure will appear on
some versions when “DYNAMIC” driving
mode is selected (see “Alfa DNA system”
in this chapter).
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(where provided)
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear through
a special indication on the display.
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is advisable
to stick to “Natural” or “All Weather”
mode and to follow the suggestions of
the Gear Shift Indicator, where traffic
conditions permit.
When the SHIFT UP icon
is shown on
the display the GSI suggests the driver to
up-shift, whereas if the SHIFT DOWN
icon
is displayed, the driver is advised
to down-shift.
The indication in the instrument panel
remains on until the driver shifts gear or
the driving conditions go back to a
situation where gearshifting is not
required to improve consumption.
CONTROL BUTTONS
“+” or(versions with Start&Stop
system) fig. 42: to scroll upwards through
the screen and the related options or to
increase the displayed value.
SET/
: press briefly to access the
menu and/or go to next screen or confirm

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
FUEL RESERVE/LIMITED RANGE
The warning light turns on when about 5 - 7 litres of fuel
are left in the tank.
When the remaining range is lower than approx. 50 km
(or equivalent value in miles), on some versions the
display will show a warning message.
26)
REAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is
switched on.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on to indicate a system fault.
In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency
unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive carefully and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.
START&STOP SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
The warning light switches on when the Start&Stop
system is deactivated (for more information, see the
paragraph “Start&Stop System” in the chapter “Starting
and driving”).
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
