VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
252
Vehicle maintenance
should be entrusted to
Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services. For routine and minor
maintenance operations you wish
to carry out yourself, always
make sure you have the proper
equipment, genuine Alfa Romeo
spares and the necessary fluids;
do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experi-
ence.IMPORTANT
Pollen filter
If the vehicle is used frequently in dusty
or heavily polluted environments it is
advisable to replace the filtering element
more frequently; in particular it should be
replaced if a reduction of the amount of
air admitted to the passenger compart-
ment is noted. IMPORTANT
Battery
It is advisable to check the battery
charge, preferably at the onset of winter,
to prevent the possibility of the electrolyte
freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the car is used mainly for
short trips, or if it is fitted with accessories
that permanently absorb electricity even
with the ignition key removed, especially
in the case of after market accessories.
If the vehicle is used in hot climates or
particularly harsh conditions it is wise to
check the level of the battery fluid (elec-
trolyte) more frequently than specified in
the Scheduled Maintenance Programme.
