ment; the 16 selectable speeds are shown
on a bar (in steps of 3), up to a maximum
of 6 bars lit:
- maximum fan speed = all bars lit;
- minimum fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off (all bars off) only
if the climate control compressor has been
switched off pressing button (14)

IMPORTANTThe sealing of the tank
may cause light pressurising in the tank. A
little breathing off, while slackening the cap,
is absolutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise and
close the flap.
IMPORTANTFor your safety, make sure
that the fuelling pump nozzle is inserted cor-
rectly into the housing, before starting the
engine.Should it be not possible to open the fuel
flap electrically, use the special cable in the
boot (A-fig. 156) to open it manually. FUEL CAP
The fuel cap (C-fig. 154) is electrically
controlled. To open it, press button (D-fig.
155); the flap can be opened only when
the engine is off.
The fuel cap (A-fig. 154), accessible af-
ter opening the lid (C), is fitted with a catch
to prevent losing it (B) which fastens it to
the lid.
When refuelling, hook the cap to the de-
vice on the inner flap, as illustrated.
Do not put naked flames
or lighted cigarettes near
the fuel filler hole as there
is a danger of fire. Do not bend too
close to the hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.
If required, replace the fu-
el cap only with a genuine
new one to prevent im-
pairing the petrol vapour system.

paragraph “In the event of a burnt fuse”
in this chapter.
– Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation.
– Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power.
– Always check headlight aiming after
changing a bulb to ensure they are safe.

LIGHT GOES OUT
GAS-DISCHARGE (XENON)
HEADLIGHTS
Due to high voltage, the
bulb of (Xenon) gas-dis-
charge headlights must on-
ly be replaced by experts: danger
of death! Contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorized Services.
HALOGEN HEADLIGHTSThe bulbs are arranged inside the light unit
as follows (fig. 22):
(A) Fog lights.
(B) Dipped beam headlights.
(C) Sidelights.
(D) Main beam headlights.
To change the bulbs of the sidelights, low
beams and main beams it is necessary to
remove the cover (A-fig. 23) releasing
the catches (B).
To change the fog lights, remove the cov-
er (C) turning counter-clockwise. IMPORTANTFor the type of bulb and
power rating, see previous section “When

metal part coincide with the one on the lamp
unit, then hook the bulb holder catch (B).
– Re-connect the electric connector (A).
– Refit the protective cover correctly.Fog lights(fig. 24)
IMPORTANTWhen needing to change
the left bulb, the side trim next to the light
itself needs to be removed to facilitate ac-
cess to the engine compartment.

After replacement, refit
the covers correctly check-
ing that they are properly
secured.
IMPORTANTA slight layer of steam
(fogging) can appear on the inside surface
of the beam transparent cover: this is not
a defect. The presence of condensate traces
in beams is a natural phenomenon, due to
a low temperature and to the degree of hu-
midity in the air. These traces will disappear
when the beams are turned on. Drops of wa-
ter inside the headlight indicate instead wa-
ter infiltration: contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services.
