CHECKING LEVELS
Never smoke while
working in the engine
compartment; gas and
inflammable vapours may be pre-
sent, with the risk of fire.
When topping up take
care not to confuse the
various types of fluids:
they are incompatible with one
another and could seriously dam-
age the vehicle.fig. 1 - 1.8 T. SPARK version

ENGINE OIL (fig. 4-4a-5-6)
The engine oil should be checked with
the vehicle on a level surface a few min-
utes (about 5) after the engine has been
switched off.
Remove the dipstick (A), clean it, put it
back in completely, remove it and check
that the level is within the MINand
MAXmarks on the dipstick. The interval
between the MINandMAXmarks cor-
respond to about one litre of oil.When the engine is hot,
take care when working
inside the engine com-
partment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine
is hot, the fan may cut in: danger
of injury.
Do not add oil with spec-
ifications (classification,
viscosity) other than
those of the oil already in the
engine.

If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filter neck
(B), until reaching the MAXmark.
IMPORTANTIf a routine check
reveals that the level is above the MAX
mark, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services to have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANTAfter topping up the oil,
before checking the level again, run the
engine a few seconds and wait for a few
minutes ater stopping it.

Used engine oil and filter
contain harmful sub-
stances for the environ-
ment. Contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services to have the
oil and the filter changed, as they
are equipped to dispose of the
waste oil and filters respecting
nature and the law.
SELESPEED TRANSMISSION
OIL
(fig. 7)
The Selespeed transmission oil should be
checked with the vehicle on a level sur-
face and with the engine stopped and
cold.
To check the level, proceed as follows:
– turn the ignition key to MAR;
– disconnect the breather tube and
remove the cap (A) checking that the
level corresponds with the MAXmark on
the dipstick integrated with the cap;
– if the oil is below the MAXmark, top
up to reach the correct level;Do not add oil with spec-
ifications other than that
already in the gearbox.

Used gearbox oil con-
tains dangerous sub-
stances for the environ-
ment. For changing the oil we
advise contacting Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services who are
equipped for disposing of used oil
respecting nature and the law.
Be very careful working
inside the engine com-
partment if the engine is
hot: danger of burns. Remember
that the fan may cut in if the
engine is very hot: danger of
injury.
Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine settles, therefore engine oil con-
sumption may be considered stabilised
only after the first 5000 ÷ 6000 km.
IMPORTANTEngine oil consumption
depends on the way of driving and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.– after refitting the cap, insert the
breather tube firmly on the housing on the
cap and turn the ignition key to STOP.

BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited
Maintenance” type and is fitted with an
optical indicator (A-fig. 12) for check-
ing the electrolyte level and charge.
Under normal conditions of use the elec-
trolyte does not need topping up with dis-
tilled water. To make sure that it is in effi-
cient conditions, at routine intervals check
the indicator on the battery cover which
should be dark in colour with a green cen-
tral area.
If the indicator is a bright light colour, or
dark without the green central area, con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.

Batteries contain harmful
substances for the envi-
ronment. To change the
battery we advise contacting Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services who
are equipped for disposal respect-
ing nature and the law.
The incorrect installation
of electric accessories
may cause serious dam-
age to the vehicle. If, after buy-
ing the car, you wish to install
accessories (alarm, radio,
radiotelephone, etc.) contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services who
will be able to suggest the most
suitable devices and above all
advise about the need to use a
more powerful battery.
If the car is to remain
inactive for a long time in
very cold conditions,
remove the battery and take it to
a warm place, otherwise it may
freeze.
POLLEN FILTER
Have the dust/pollen filter checked once
a year by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services,
preferably at the onset of summer.
If the car is mainly used in dusty or heav-
ily polluted areas, the filter should be
changed at more frequent intervals than
specified in the Scheduled Maintenance
Programme.
IMPORTANTThe failure to replace
the pollen filter can considerably reduce
the effectiveness of the climate control
system.
When working on the
battery or near to it,
always protect the eyes
with goggles.
The liquid contained in
the battery is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with the skin or eyes. The
battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place away from
naked flames or possible sources
of sparks: danger of explosion
and fire.
