CORRECT USE

OF THE CAR

We recommend that

during the initial period

you do not drive to full

car performance (e.g.: excessive

acceleration, long journeys at

top speed, sharp braking, etc.).

Running the engine in

confined areas is ex-

tremely dangerous. The engine

consumes oxygen and pro-

duces carbon monoxide which

is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

WARNING

When the engine is

switched off never leave

the electronic key into the

ignition device to prevent point-

less current absorption from

draining the batter.

ENGINE STARTING

The car is fitted with an electronic engine

immobilising system. If the engine fails

to start, see paragraph “Alfa Romeo

CODE system” in section “Dashboard

and controls”.

IMPORTANT Tampering with the ig-

nition device can cause unrequired steer-

ing lock.

IMPORTANT Fit completely the elec-

tronic key into the ignition device until

it locks into place.

IMPORTANT Never take the elec-

tronic key out of the ignition device while

the car is moving unless you have to car-

ry out an emergency removal (see para-

graph “Removing the electronic key from

the ignition device in an emergency”),

this ensures that the steering column lock

is deactivated while the car is moving

(e.g.: towing the car).
