This Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipme\
nt that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This manual
may also include a description of features and equipment that are no lon\
ger available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any
features and equipment described in this manual that are not on this veh\
icle. FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and
specifications, and/or make additions to or improvements to its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in
substitution therefore.
If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you may obtain a complimentary printed copy of the Warranty Booklet by calling
1-844-253-2872 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada) or by contacting your dealer.
This Owner’s Manual is intended to familiarize you with the important features of your vehicle. Your most up-to-date Owner’s Manual, Navigation /
Uconnect manuals and Warranty Booklet can be found by visiting the website on the back cover. U.S. residents can purchase replacement kits by
visiting www.techauthority.com and Canadian residents can purchase replacement kits by calling 1-800-387-1143.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an
accident and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when usi\
ng any device or feature that may
take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other
devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and coul\
d lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and
should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit t\
he use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Alfa Romeo brand vehicle and to provide a convenient
reference source for common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For add\
itional information, visit www.alfaromeousa.com (U.S.),
www.alfaromeo.ca (Canada) or your local Alfa Romeo dealer.
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower
and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink a\
nd then drive.
WARNING!
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you a\
re drinking, don’t drive.
Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend or use public transportation.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway motor
vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon mon\
oxide, phthalates, and
lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the
engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear
gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For mo\
re information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
