2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta engine

ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX references
on the dipstick A-fig. 161-162-163-164.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through the
filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
Do not add oil with different characteristics to those
of the existing engine oil.
Used engine oil and the replaced oil filter contain
substances that are harmful to the environment.
We recommend having the oil and oil filter re-
placed by Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C-fig. 161-162-163-164
and add the fluid described in “Technical Specifications” chapter.
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the engine cool-
ing system. Use the same fluid as in the cooling
system when topping up. PARAFLU
UPmay not be
mixed with any other type of fluid. If this accidentally
occurs, do not start the engine. Contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
The engine cooling system is pressurised. If the cap
needs replacing, do so with another original or the
effectiveness of the system may be compromised.
Do not remove the cap from the reservoir when the en-
gine is hot: you may get burned

The oil level must never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every
1000 km. During the initial period of use the engine oil consumption
conditions should be considered as having stabilised after the first
5000 - 6000 km.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait for the
engine to cool down before loosening the filler plug,
particularly for vehicles with aluminium plug (for
versions/markets where provided). CAUTION: risk of burns!

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the maximum level. If the level is too
low undo reservoir cap E-fig. 161-162-163-164 and add the flu-
id described in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from
coming into contact with painted parts. Should this
occur, immediately wash with water.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW/HEADLIGHT
WASHING FLUID
If the level is too low undo reservoir cap D-fig. 161-162-163-
164 and add the fluid described in the “Technical Specifications”
chapter.
Do not travel if the windscreen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer is essential
for improving visibility. Some commercial wind-
screen washer additives are flammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot parts which could cause a fire if they
come into contact with these additives.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In
the event of accidental contact, wash the parts im-
mediately with water and neutral soap, then rinse
with plenty of water. In case of swallowing, immediate-
ly call a doctor.
The symbol πon the container indicates a syn-
thetic brake fluid, which is different from a min-
eral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid will dam-
age the special rubber seals of the braking system beyond
repair.

BATTERY
The electrolyte of the battery F-fig. 161-162-163-164 does not
need to be topped up with distilled water. A periodic check carried
out at Alfa Romeo Authorized Services is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When necessary, replace the battery with another original battery
with the same specifications. Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.
ADVICE FOR PROLONGING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid rapidly draining your battery and to prolong its life, ob-
serve the following indications:
❍when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet
are closed properly in order to avoid the courtesy lights re-
maining on for longer than necessary;
❍turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have an au-
tomatic system for switching off internal lights;
❍do not leave devices (e.g. car radio, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the engine is not running;
❍before performing any operation on the electrical system, dis-
connect the battery negative terminal.
IMPORTANT The steering system will need to be initialised after dis-
connecting the battery. A warning light
gwill come on to indi-
cate this. Simply turn the steering wheel all the way to one end
or simply drive on a straight line for a few hundred metres.
AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER/
DIESEL FILTER
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to replace these
filters.

IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by trees makes the
paintwork go opaque and increasing the possibility of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratching.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth in the di-
rection of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and detergent for wash-
ing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the front head-
lights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure washer, keep
the water jet at least 2 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine compartment thor-
oughly, taking care not to aim the jet of water directly at the elec-
tronic control units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold
and the ignition key in the STOP position. After the wash, make
sure that the various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
Detergents cause water pollution. Only wash the
car in areas equipped for the collection and pu-
rification of the fluids used in the actual washing
process.
When drying take care to dry the least visible parts where the
water could collect most easily. Do not wash the car after it has
been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest
of the car.
In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of
the paintwork abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
