side a container near the battery positive ter-
minal; to gain access to the fuses lift the two
lids (fig. 67and fig. 68).
FUSE AND RELAYS IN THE
MAIN FUSEBOX (fig. 69)The fuses for the main devices are housed
in a control unit under the dashboard, to the
left of the steering column.
To gain access to them, remove the pan-
el (A) releasing the tabs (B) in the direc-
tion of the arrow below and remove the
screw (C).A.Dipped beam light relay.

RECOMMENDATIONS
TO PRESERVE THE BODYWORKPaint
The paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose but also protects the under-
lying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you
are advised to have the necessary touch-
ing up carried out immediately to avoid the
formation of rust.
Only original products should be used for
touching up paint (see “Bodywork paint
identification label” in the “Technical spec-
ifications” chapter).
Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing at intervals depending on the con-
ditions and environment of use. For exam-
ple, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the
car more frequently.
Detersives pollute water.
The car should therefore be
washed in areas equipped
for the collection and purification
of the liquid used in the washing
process.
To correctly wash the car:
1)Remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system.
2)Spray the body with a low pressure
jet of water.
3)Pass a sponge moistened with a light
detergent solution, rinsing the sponge fre-
quently.
4)Rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with the
less visible parts like door surrounds, bonnet
and around the headlights where water may
stagnate. The car should not be taken to a
closed area immediately, but left in the open
so that residual water can evaporate. – Spraying of plastic parts, with a pro-
tective function, in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner wheel arch linings,
edges, etc.
– Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of moisture
from triggering rust inside.
VEHICLE EXTERIOR AND
UNDERBODY WARRANTYThe Alfa 156is guaranteed against
perforation due to rust of any original ele-
ment of the structure or body. For the gen-
eral terms of this warranty, refer to the War-
ranty Booklet.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption values shown in the
following tables were established during ho-
mologation tests prescribed in specific Eu-
ropean Directives.
The test conditions adopted include the fol-
lowing:
– an urban cycle: this includes cold
starting followed by simulation of a mixed
urban route;– an extraurban cycle: this includes
frequent accelerating in all gears, simulat-
ing normal extraurban use of the vehicle;
the speed varies between 0 and 120 kph;
– combined consumption: this is cal-
culated by considering a route consisting of
about 37% urban cycle and 63% extraur-
ban cycle.WARNING The type of route,
traffic conditions, weather condi-
tions, driving style, conditions of
the vehicle, trim level/equipment/
accessories, vehicle load, presence
of roof rack, use of the climate con-
trol system, other items that neg-
atively affect the aerodynamics of
the vehicle or wind resistance lead
to different fuel consumption lev-
els than those measured by the
above-mentioned procedures (see
“Reducing running costs and envi-
ronment pollution” in the chapter
“Correct use of the car”).
