Page 3 We would like to point out Alfa Romeo’ s commitment in protecting the environment through "total material recycling": at the end of your Alfa GT useful lifespan, any Alfa Romeo dealer would be pleased to make arrangements for your car to be recycled properly and eco- logically (in compliance with current law regulations).
Page 4 VERY IMPORTANT! FUEL CAPACITY Petrol engines: only use unleaded petrol with no less than 95 R.O.N. JTD engines: only use Diesel fuel for motor vehicles that meet European Specification EN590. 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.
Page 5 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.
