Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance

from the technical features of your Alfa Mito.

You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all

with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road

surfaces.

This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and

maintenance of your Alfa Mito over time.

In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find the description of the Services that Alfa Romeo offers to its customers, the

Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.

We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new car and the service provided by the people at Alfa

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification EN228.

Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures

may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Petrol engines.Versions with manual gearbox engage the handbrake, set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the

accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. Versions with TCT gearbox (if available), engage the

handbrake and set the gear lever in P (Parking) or N (Neutral), then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine is started. Diesel

engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning light to switch off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the

engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car 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, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

They will calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electrical system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and

low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS

…important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be paid to

the symbols (personal safety) (environmental protection) (car integrity).

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as

regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.

The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not

correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with

steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or

construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for

getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter

at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.

There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could

cause accidents or injuries.

Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That

number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

IMPORTANT

This Owner Handbook describes all Alfa Mito versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not

explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level,

engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the

specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided).

All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at

a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described

for technical and/or commercial reasons.

For further information, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in

which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
