SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT NOTES
❍At 2000 km from the next service operation the display will
show a message.
❍Scheduled Servicing operations are required by the manufac-
turer. Failure to comply with the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
❍It is advisable to inform Alfa Romeo Authorized Services of any
small faults without waiting for the next scheduled service.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life under the
best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has prepared a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for
1.4 petrol versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for 1750 Turbo
Petrol and diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. periodical-
ly check level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.) before 30,000/
35,000 km and between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Service operations should be carried out at Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services according to a set time schedule. If, during
each operation, in addit
ion to the ones scheduled, the need aris-
es for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out on-
ly with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be reduced.

With the function activated, the radio auto-
matically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same pro-
gram. In this way when driving you can con-
tinue listening to the same station without
having to change the frequency when you
change areas.

station that you are listening to in the area
you are driving through.

up in the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radi
o is no longer capable of receiving
the station tuned into, the radio will activate
the automatic search during which the dis-
play will show “FM Search” (only for the
high end radio).With the AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the display
of the name of the radio station continue to
remain activated.
The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.

❍“AF Switching On”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies activated (the letters

tive frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:
❍press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
