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 addition 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.
