Alfa Romeo 147 Benutzeranleitung

1) Make sure the handbrake is 

engaged.

2) Set the gearshift lever to neutral. 

3) Turn the ignition key to 

MAR. The re-

configurable multifunction display will show
the

m

warning light. 

4) Wait for the 

m

to turn off, which

takes place sooner, the warmer the
engine. With the engine very warm the
light might stay on for such a short time
as to pass unnoticed. 

5) Fully depress the clutch pedal. 

6) Turn the ignition key to 

AVV as

soon as the 

m

warning light has gone

out. Waiting too long, makes the warming
work of the glow plugs useless. 

IMPORTANT It is important never to

press the accelerator before the engine
has started. 

1) Make sure the handbrake is engaged. 

2) Move the gear lever to neutral. 

3) Fully depress the clutch pedal, so that

the starter motor is not forced to crank the
gears.

4) Ensure that the electric systems and

devices, especially if they absorb high
quantities of energy (e.g. heated
rearscreen), are switched off.

5) Turn the ignition key to the 

AVV po-

sition and release it as soon as the engine
starts. 

6) If the engine does not start, return 

the key to 

STOP, then repeat the proce-

dure.

IMPORTANT If it is difficult to start

the engine do not insist with extended
attempts which may damage the catalyst,
but contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services. 

IMPORTANT The electric devices that

absorb a high amount of energy (cli-
mate control, rearscreen heating, etc.) are
cut off automatically during starting. 

If the engine does not start at the first

attempt, move the ignition key to 

before repeating starting. 

If starting is difficult (with the Alfa

Romeo CODE system working properly),
do not insist with prolonged attempts. 

Only use an auxiliary battery if the cause

is due to low battery charge. Never use a
battery charger to start the engine.
