001-057 Alfa GT Q2 GB

Dear Client, Thank you for choosing Alfa Romeo. Your Alfa GT has been designed to guarantee the safety, comfort and driving pleasure typical of Alfa Romeo. This booklet will help you to get to know the characteristics and operation of your car. The following pages contain all the indications necessary for you to be able to maintain the high standards of performance, quality, safety and respect for the environment which characterise this Alfa GT. The enclosed Warranty Booklet also contains the regulations, the warranty certificate and a guide to the services offered by Alfa Romeo. Services which are essential and precious because, when you purchase an Alfa Romeo, you are not only acquiring a car, but the tranquillity that comes from knowing that an efficient, willing and widespread organisation is at your service for any assistance problems you may have. Nature benefits in two ways: there’s no pollution from waste disposal and the demand for raw materials is reduced. Enjoy the reading. And have a good trip. This booklet describes all the versions of the Alfa GT, so you should only consider the information concerning the trim level, engine and version purchased by you. 1 VERY IMPORTANT! FUEL CAPACITY Petrol engines: only use unleaded petrol with no less than 95 R.O.N. Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or K mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. STARTING THE ENGINE Petrol engines with mechanical transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. Petrol engine with Selespeed transmission: keep the brake pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started; the transmission sets to neutral automatically (the display shows position N). JTD engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the Y and m warning lights to go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine needles or ┮ any other inflammable materials: risk of fire. 2 RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to ensure bet- U ter respect for the environment. ACCESSORY ELECTRICAL DEVICES If after purchasing the car you wish to install accessories that need an electrical supply (with the risk of gradually draining ▵ the battery), contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services who will assess the overall electrical absorption and check whether the car system is able to withstand the load required. CODE CARD Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. IT is advisable to always keep the electronic code on the CODE card with you in case emergency starting is necessary. SCHEDULED SERVICING Correct maintenance makes it possible to preserve car performance levels and safety, respect for the environment and low running costs unaltered over the course of time. THE OWNER HANDBOOK… …you will find important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and car maintenance over time.
