Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the car could be damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION
POLES
To facilitate the operation, the remote
poles of the battery for the jump starting
can be found in the engine compartment:
the battery, on the other hand, is placed
in the luggage compartment.
To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect the
auxiliary battery to the remote poles of
the flat battery.
Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different
sheath colours (red = positive, black =
negative).
The negative terminal (-) fig. 132 is
located next to the right bonnet catch.
132
08076S0006EM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
137
The positive terminal (+) can be reached
by lifting the protective flap fig. 133 and

WARNING
130)
Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
131)
Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
132)
The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
30)
Never use a fast battery charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems, particularly the engine
ignition and fuel supply control units.
31)
Do not connect the cable to the negative
terminal (–) of the flat battery. The following
spark could lead to battery explosion and
cause serious harm. Only use the specific
earth point; do not use any other exposed
metallic part.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The car is equipped with a system that
cuts off the fuel supply in the event of
impact, causing the engine to stop.
This safety device is controlled by the
ORC control unit, which manages all the
occupant protection systems. Depending
on the type and violence of the impact,
this control unit determines whether or
not to activate the airbags and the front
seatbelt pretensioners and whether or
not to immediately interrupt the current
from the batteries to the supply pumps
and to the devices that make the engine
operate. The power from the battery is
interrupted by "skipping" the pyrotechnic
fuse placed on the fusebox next to the
positive pole of the battery.
When the fuse has "blown", only some
services, necessary for the safety of the
vehicle (e.g. door locks, anti-theft device,
etc.), remain powered.
WARNING After the impact, carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
WARNING Contact a Dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the system
checked.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
GEAR LEVER RELEASE
To release the automatic transmission
lever, contact a Dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
TOWING A BROKEN-DOWN CAR
WARNING The vehicle should be
transported with all four wheels lifted
from the ground on the platform of
a roadside assistance vehicle. Avoid
towing with only the front (or rear)
wheels lifted. When towing with only the
front (or rear) wheels lifted, in addition to
damaging the body, it could damage the
gearbox.
WARNING To carry out the operation,
the assistance vehicle must be equipped
with an appropriate movement/lifting
equipment to avoid damaging the
vehicle. For loading on the towing vehicle,
attach the tow equipment to the main
structural components of the vehicle
and not to the bumpers or other related
brackets.
WARNING Comply with the regulations
regarding assistance and vehicle towing
in force in each country.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
139
WARNING When securing the vehicle to
a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or
rear suspension components. Damage to
your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
If a breakdown truck with platform is not
available, the vehicle must be towed with
the rear wheels LIFTED from the ground
(using a trailer or special equipment
allowing lifting of the rear wheels).
TOWING THE CAR
133) 134) 135)
In order to be able to tow the car, which
has been in an accident or has broken
down, on the road surface and only for
short distances, a tow ring is provided
in the tools container inside the luggage
compartment.
Proceed as follows to use the tow ring:
unhook the cap on the front bumper
fig. 135, pressing it with a suitable tool
(screwdriver supplied) and taking care
not to damage the cosmetic carbon part
in the upper part of the cap itself;
take the tow ring from its housing in
the boot and carefully clean the threaded

WARNING
133)
Move the ignition device to ON and then
to STOP, without opening the door.
134)
The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. While towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, you must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the car. Before tightening the
ring, clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully screwed into
the housing before towing the car.
135)
The tow hook must be used exclusively
for roadside assistance operations. You
are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the rules of the road (a
rigid bar), to move the vehicle on the road
in readiness for towing or transport via a
breakdown vehicle. The tow hooks MUST
NOT be used to tow the vehicle off the road
or where there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or other non-
rigid devices. In compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take place with the
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same
center line.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proper maintenance allows car performance to be maintained
over time, operating costs to be contained, and safety system
performance to be safeguarded.
This chapter explains how.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
142
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and maintenance
operations at fixed distance intervals
and, for versions/markets, where
provided, at fixed time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by a
Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership
according to a set time schedule. If,
during each operation, in addition to the
ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out with the owner's
explicit consent only.
WARNING The scheduled service
deadlines are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting
for the next scheduled service deadline.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every year or
620
miles (
1,000
km) or
before long journeys, check and top up, if
necessary:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level (if insufficient, see
a Dedicated Alfa Romeo dealership as
soon as possible);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windscreen wash/wipe
system and positioning/wear of wiper
blades.
Oil consumption of the engine depends
on conditions and driving style. For this
reason, the engine oil level must be
checked every
1,860
miles (
3,000
km),
and topped up, if necessary (see the
"Engine compartment - Checking the
levels" paragraph for information on the
quantity to be topped up).
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used in one of the
following conditions:
