STARTING
THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT The car is fitted with an
electronic engine lock device. If the engine
fails to start, see the "Alfa Romeo CODE
system".
We recommend that dur-
ing the initial period you do
not drive to full car perfor-
mance (for example excessive ac-
celeration, long journeys at top
speed, hard braking, etc.).

Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely
dangerous. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon
monoxide which is a highly toxic
and lethal gas.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
device which obliges the driver to return the
key to the STOP position before repeat-
ing the starting operation if the engine does
not start immediately.
Similarly, when the engine is running, the
device prevents the key being moved from
the MAR to the AVV position.
