POWER STEERING FLUID
(fig. 6)
Check that the level of the oil in the reser-
voir is at maximum.
This operation should be carried out with
the vehicle on a level surface and the en-
gine switched off and cold.
Check that the level reaches the MAX
mark on the reservoir or coincides with the
upper notch (maximum level) on the dip-
stick (A) integral with the reservoir cap. The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise
system efficiency could be compro-
mised.
Top up only with the same
fluid contained in the cool-
ing circuit. PARAFLU UP
(red) cannot be mixed with
PARAFLU 11 (blue) or with other
fluids. Should this take place, do
not start the engine and contact Al-
fa Romeo Authorized Service.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
(fig. 5)
The level of the coolant in the header tank
(reservoir) should be checked with the en-
gine cold and the car on a level surface and
it should be between the MINandMAX
marks on the tank.
If the level is low, loosen the header tank
cap (A) and slowly pour a mixture of the
fluid specified in the ”Fluids and lubricants”
table in section “Technical Specifications”,
through the filler neck until nearing the
MAXmark; have this operation carried out
at Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.

The antifreeze mixture contained in the
cooling circuit guarantees protection down
to –40°C.
Do not remove the cap
when the engine is hot:
danger of burns.
