Youare advised to read through the Owner’s Manual before taking it on the road for the first time. It is important to become familiar with the controls of your vehicle, especially with sections concerning the brakes, handling, transmission, and vehicle behavior on different road surfaces. This Owner’s Manual also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care, and maintenance of your Alfa Romeo over time. In the provided Warranty Booklet, you will also find a description of the services that Alfa Romeo offers to its customers. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty will detail the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity. We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate both your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Alfa Romeo. For questions or comments pertaining to your vehicle, please contact the Alfa Romeo Customer Care Center: P.O.Box 21–8004 Auburn Hills, MI 48321–8004 Phone: 1-844-Alfa-USA (1-844-253-2872) READ THIS CAREFULLY Refueling Do not use fuel containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital components of the supply system. For further details on the use of the correct fuel, see the "Fuel Requirements" paragraph in the "Technical Specifications" chapter. Starting The Engine Make sure that the electric park brake is engaged and that the transmission is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Next, press the brake pedal, and then push the engine START/STOP button. Parking On Flammable Material The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard. Respecting The Environment The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment. Electrical Accessories If you decide to add electrical accessories after purchasing the vehicle, (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact your authorized dealer. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load. Scheduled Servicing Correctly performed maintenance procedures are essential for ensuring that your vehicle continuously maintains its quality in performance and safety features, environmental friendliness, and low running costs. VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS Accessories Purchased By The Owner Warning! Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured. If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact your authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery. Note: Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.). FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions. Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance with manufacturer's specifications. Note: Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed. This also may void the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it. FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions. Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB (Citizen Band) radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate antenna is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of approved mobile phones is concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. Caution! The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Start system may occur may occur. HOWTO USE THIS MANUAL Operating Instructions Each time an instruction is given that concerns direction (left/right or forward/backward), it is written to be read from the perspective of an occupant in the driver's seat. If a direction is written from a different perspective, it will be specified as such in the text as appropriate. The figures in the manual are only examples: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. To identify the chapter with the information necessary, you can consult the index at the end of this manual. Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, located at the side of each odd page. There is also a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs.

Racing still serves to prove and inspire Alfa Romeo design, long known to be geared for both track and street. It has produced a wide range of innovative vehicles that are now hailed as classics. From the 8C 2300 (which won the 1931 Le Mans) to the Giulia GTA (taking several 1960s European Touring Car Championship titles) to the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti (an Italian Superturismo series champ in the 1990s), Alfa Romeo continues to push ahead in order to proudly look back. HISTORY / 4 DRIVING FORCES For well over a century, Alfa Romeo designers and engineers have built a legendary brand by achieving remarkable symmetry: their goals of creating heightened emotions and developing innovative technology are passionately pursued in equal measure. These defining principles inspire everything from our most powerful Formula 1 entries to today’s Giulia Quadrifoglio — all clocking in world-class performance laps on racing’s most challenging tracks. The main takeaway from the unique, driver-centric design of Alfa Romeo? A relentless intensity that transforms every road — and every passenger. Quadrifoglio shown in Rosso Competizione Tri-Coat.

  • The Legend Returns Gran Turismo Alleggerita the History of a Legend
    THE LEGEND RETURNS GRAN TURISMO ALLEGGERITA THE HISTORY OF A LEGEND It all began in 1965, with the presentation of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. Steel turned into aluminium, glass windows and rear window into Based on the GT with bodywork by Bertone, launched two years earlier, the plexiglass, interiors stripped of everything superfluous... and weight GTA was inspired by two key ambitions: more power and, above all, less weight. passing from the Sprint GT’s 900kg to the GTA’s 745kg. The 1570 cc engine generated 115 HP, and a maximum speed of 185 Km/h. The Giulia GTA became one of the fastest and most successful cars on the racetracks. In 1968 Alfa Romeo decides to extend GTA options, also creating a lower displacement version. This led to the birth of the Giulia GTA 1300 Junior, derived from the GT 1300 Junior, sharing the same four- cylinder 1290 cc engine. It borrowed several sporting solutions from the GTA 1600, such as the double-barrel carburettor and twin-spark ignition. The GTA 1300 Junior experienced years of sporting triumphs at national and international levels, before concluding its competitive career in the mid-1970s. In 1970 the Giulia GTA project evolved still further, to respond to increasingly fierce competition and to continue winning the Tourism Championship. So Alfa Romeo created the Giulia GT Am, featuring a Spica indirect injection system. Roughly 40 exemplars of this fierce racing car were produced. Thanks to its aluminium doors, super lightweight interiors and a 2-litre engine delivering up to 240 HP, the Giulia GT Am dominated the 1971 European Tourism Championship, in addition to conquering numerous triumphs in Italy and worldwide.

  • The Connected Car and Privacy Navigating New Data Issues
    THE CONNECTED CAR AND PRIVACY NAVIGATING NEW DATA ISSUES THE CONNECTED CAR AND PRIVACY NAVIGATING NEW DATA ISSUES November 13, 2014 ABSTRACT New technologies in vehicles promise drivers real advances in safety and convenience, but will only be welcomed by consumers if they can be sure their personal data will be handled in a trustworthy manner. Privacy principles adopted by leading auto makers set a responsible course for new uses of biometric, behavioral and location data and should help avoid any privacy bumps in the road. This brief paper seeks to provide an overview of the technologies currently available in cars and identifies the types of data collected and the purposes for which it is used. We then turn to identify the new types of data collection that are now or soon to be available and identify common uses of that data. Our goal is to help inform media, policymakers, advocates and others about the vehicle data environment and help identify privacy issues that are relevant. INTRODUCTION The use of computers and data by automobiles is nothing new. Computerized systems began appearing in cars as early as 1969, and standardization of on-board diagnostics (OBD) in the 1990s further facilitated the collection of data within cars.1 But the installation of more computer chips and electronics components have helped introduce new technologies that are significantly increasing the data volume produced by a car. According to an estimate by Industry Solutions Automotive & Mobility, new information about vehicle usage, wear and tear, or defects will grow from approximately 4 megabytes to over 5 gigabytes of data per vehicle per month.2 This white paper surveys the collection of data inside the vehicle ecosystem and explores how connectivity and the “connected car” augment or change how that information is collected and eventually used.
