Dear Client,
Thank you for choosing Alfa Romeo.

This booklet will help you to get to know the characteristics and operation of your vehicle.
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 166.
The 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 orga-

What’s more every single component of the

lifespan any Alfa Romeo dealer would be pleased to make arrangements for your car to be recycled and nature

Have a good trip.
