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 battery.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒
Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒
Fully press the clutch pedal, without
pressing the accelerator;
❒
Put the gear lever neutral;
❒
Fit the electronic key into the ignition
device to stop limit;
❒
Briefly press the
START
/
STOP
but-
ton.
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
Always fit the electron-
ic key completely into the ignition device
to the stop limit.
IMPORTANT
Never take the elec-
tronic key out of the ignition device while
the car is running 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 guarantees steering column lock de-
activation when moving the car (e.g.: for
towing).
