When topping up take
care not to confuse the
various types of fluids:
they are all incompatible and
could seriously damage the car.
If the vehicle is fre-
quently used for towing
trailers, the interval be-
tween one programmed mainte-
nance and the next should be re-
duced.
Vehicle maintenance
should be entrusted to
the Alfa Romeo Service
Network. For ordinary and minor
operations you can do yourself,
always make sure you have ade-
quate tools, original Alfa Romeo
spares and the correct fluids. Do
not carry out these operations if
you have no experience.
Never smoke during
work in the engine com-
partment: there is the possibility
of inflammable gas and vapours
with the risk of fire.
