INTERIOR

152) 153) 154) 155)

Periodically check the cleanliness of the

interior, beneath the mats, which could

cause oxidation of the sheet metal.

CLEANING THERMOEMBOSSED

IMAGES ON SEATS

(where provided)
Due to the colour, opacity and wear-

resistant protection with which the

thermoembossed images on some seat

versions are made, they may be subject

to temporary scratching if they are

touched by finger nails, keys, or other

hard objects.
In such cases, the visible signs do not

impair the profiled images, and can easily

be removed by wiping the affected area

with a microfibre cloth moistened with

water (not dry) to restore the seat to its

original condition.
WARNING The microfibre cloth must not

have been previously soaked in other

substances or detergents.

LEATHER SEATS

(where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or

slightly damp cloth, without exerting too

much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using

an absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing.

Then clean with a soft cloth or buckskin

cloth dampened with water and mild

soap. If the stain persists, use specific

products and observe the instructions

carefully.
WARNING Never use alcohol. Make sure

that the cleaning products used contain

no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in

small quantities.

PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS

52)

Clean interior plastic parts with a damp

cloth (if possible made from microfibre),

and a solution of water and neutral, non-

abrasive detergent.
To clean oily or persistent stains,

use specific products free from

solvents and designed to maintain the

original appearance and colour of the

components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre

cloth, if necessary moistened with

water. The use of paper tissues is not

recommended as these may leave

residues.

ALCANTARA PARTS

(where provided)

53)

Alcantara parts maintenance procedure:

treat the surface with a microfibre

cloth moistened with mild marseille soap

and water, taking care to cover the entire

covered area and applying a uniform light

pressure (do not rub vigorously);

rinse and wring out the microfibre

cloth, and pass it again over the covered

area treated according to the previous

point;

let it dry then brush gently with a soft

brush.
WARNING On the GTAm version, do not

climb into the rear of the passenger

compartment by treading on the

Alcantara-covered part.

GENUINE LEATHER PARTS

(where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean

these parts. Never use alcohol or alcohol-

based products.
Before using a specific product for

cleaning interiors, make sure that it does

not contain alcohol and/or alcohol based

substances.

CARBON FIBRE PARTS

To eliminate small scratches and marks

on the carbon, contact an Authorized

Centre at a Dedicated Alfa Romeo

Dealership. An improperly performed

operation may irreparably damage the

carbon.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

160

WARNING

152)

ever use flammable products, such as

petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the

inside of the car. The electrostatic charges

which are generated by rubbing during the

cleaning operation may cause a fire.

153)

Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:

they might explode. Aerosol cans must not

be exposed to temperatures above 50°C.

Temperatures may greatly exceed this

value inside a car exposed to direct sunlight.

154)

There must be no obstacles on the floor

under the pedals. Make sure that mat are

always flat and do not interfere with the

pedals.

155)

Do not use aggressive organic

substance such as: petrol, kerosene, oil,

acetone or solvents.

IMPORTANT

52)

Never use alcohol, petrols and

derivatives to clean the dashboard and

instrument panel lens.

53)

Do not use "hard" synthetic brushes as

they could damage the fabric irreparably.

Do not perform partial, localized

interventions that could cause "aesthetic"

differences between the treated and

untreated areas. Do not use alcohol or

acetone-based solvents.

Everything you may find useful for understanding how your

vehicle is made and works is contained in this chapter and

illustrated with data, tables and graphics.

For the enthusiasts and the technician, but also just for those

who want to know every detail of their car.

(*) In order to comply with all emission limits while simultaneously guaranteeing minimal consumption and maximum performance, use premium

unleaded petrol with octane rating (R.O.N.) 98 or higher.
The car’s best performances are only guaranteed if a specific fuel is used (see information in “Refuelling the car” paragraph in the “Starting and

driving” chapter).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

RIMS AND WHEELS

Alloy rims. Tubeless radial carcass tires.
All approved tires are listed in the

Registration Certificate.
WARNING If there are any discrepancies

between the Owner Handbook and

the Registration Document, take the

information from the latter. For safe

driving, the car must be fitted with tyres

of the same make and type on all wheels.
WARNING Do not use air chambers with

tubeless tyres.
WARNING Using tyres of a different

size, type, brand or design at the front

and rear may adversely affect car

driveability. We recommend using tyres

approved by the manufacturer. The

manufacturer cannot determine if

unapproved tyres are suitable for use

and therefore cannot guarantee vehicle

safety in those conditions.

SNOW CHAINS

54)

Snow chains may be fitted on the 255/30

R20 XL 92W M+S rear tyres with

snowflake symbol (winter tyre size), with

size "255" tyres fitted at both front and

rear.

Avoid using traditional chains as

they can damage the braking system

if not installed correctly, thereby

compromising the car’s safety.
For details of the make and type of snow

chains to be used, contact a Dedicated

Alfa Romeo Dealership or call Customer

Care on the number provided in the

Warranty Booklet.

Warnings

The use of snow chains should be in

compliance with local regulations of

each country. In certain countries, tyres

marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
and the

symbol are considered as

winter equipment.
Snow chains may be applied only to the

rear wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains

after the first few feet/meters have

been driven.
WARNING Using snow chains with tyres

with non-original dimensions is not

permitted and may damage the car.
WARNING Using different size or

type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between

front and rear axle may adversely

affect car driveability, with the risk of

losing control of the car and resulting

accidents.

WINTER TYRES

When winter tyres are fitted, apply the
warning sticker shown in fig. 149 stating

"Max. 160 km/h / 100 mph" in a position

clearly visible to the driver (e.g. on the

instrument panel) as a reminder that

speeds over 160 km/h / 100 mph are not

permitted.

149

10106S0777EM

IMPORTANT

54)

Keep your speed down when snow

chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.

Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or

pavements and do not drive long distances

over roads without snow, to avoid damaging

both your car and the road surface.

WARNING

156)

If winter tyres with a lower speed rating than that indicated in the Registration Document are used, do not exceed the maximum speed

corresponding to the speed rating of the tyres used.
