fig. 3 A0G0138m DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each electronic key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch on the dashboard. The modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the electronic key and enables to start the engine.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the electronic key. INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES Each time the electronic key is fitted into the ignition switch, the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS ELECTRONIC KEY ELECTRONIC KEY fig. 5 The car is delivered with two copies of the key with remote control. If the car changes owner, the new owner must be given the electronic key and the CODE card. The electronic key operates the ignition switch.

The VDC system is therefore particularly useful when grip conditions of the road surfaces changes.
WARNING For correct operation of the VDC system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand and size specified. ❒ downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 6%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal depressed and reverse gear engaged.

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake. Never get out of the car without engaging the handbrake, switching the engine off and engaging the first gear.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is started. When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive.

The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the control unit, together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
WARNING Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy rims and non-standard wheel caps: they might reduce ventilation of the brakes, thus their efficiency, during abrupt and repeated braking, or long downhill slopes.

The use of aerodynamic optional extras which are not certified for the specific use on the car, may reduce the aerodynamic penetration of the car and increase consumption. Tyres Electric devices Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher. Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 142 DRIVING STYLE Starting Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight. Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you are driving in. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h. Under no circumstances should the car brake system be altered to control the trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the car hydraulic system.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car. For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifications”.

Use of snow chains may be compulsory also for cars with 4-wheel drive. On 3.2 JTS versions, snow chains shall be fitted on the FRONT axle. Tyres 235/45 R18” cannot be fitted with snow chains due to interference with fender. On tyres 225/50 R17” only “spider” type chains can be used. Disengage the ASR system when snow chains are fitted.

SAFETY DEVICES IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving style and the conditions under which the car is used. IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications other than that already in the engine. INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY When the car is new, the engine needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
The cooling system uses PARAFLUUP that shall be used for topping up and that cannot be mixed with other types of fluids. Should other fluids be added, do not start the engine and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible. WARNING The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, replace the cap only with another genuine one, otherwise system efficiency could be compromised. fig. 10 A0G0029m WINDSCREEN/HEADLIGHT WASHER FLUID fig.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the Service Schedule.

A periodic check carried out at an Alfa Romeo Authorised Services is, however, necessary to check efficiency. IMPORTANT The charge in the battery should be checked at the start of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte freezing.
Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have the battery changed at Alfa Romeo Authorized Services, which is properly equipped for disposing of used batteries respecting nature and the law. When working on the battery or near it, always wear the proper goggles.

A normal pressure: tread evenly worn. B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges. C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre. Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven. IMPORTANT NOTES As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage. WARNING Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and vice versa.

Not to be underestimated is also the abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand and mud and gravel raised by other cars.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised to have the necessary touching up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Use only original paint products for touching up (see “Bodywork paint identification label” in section “Technical specification”). Normal paint maintenance consists in washing at intervals depending on the conditions and environment of use. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the car more frequently.
