❒loosen the reservoir plug and
introduce the funnel F fig. 117 with
the extension pipe in the reservoir
inlet;
❒ after topping up, remove the funnel F
with the extension pipe;
❒ tighten the reservoir plug;
❒ reposition the protection panel and
tighten the 2 self-tapping screws E.
WARNING Be very careful while
removing the plug from the opening to
prevent the plug from falling inside
the vehicle body.
IMPORTANT
19) Be careful not to confuse the various types of fluids while
topping up: they are not
compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable
fluid could severely damage your
vehicle.
20) The oil level should never exceed the MAX mark.
21) Do not add oil with specifications other than those of the oil already
in the engine. 22) PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze fluid is
used in the engine cooling
system; use the same fluid type as
that already in the cooling system
when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed with other types
of anti-freeze fluids. If topping up
with an unsuitable product, under
no circumstances start the engine
and contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
23) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, immediately
wash with water.
24) Be very careful while topping up the brake fluid, as it could drip
from the extension pipe inside the
vehicle under-bonnet and on
parts of the body and windscreen,
corroding and damaging them.
Adopt suitable protection (e.g
absorbing paper) to reduce this
risk as much as possible.

a wet chamois leather.
INTERIORS
132) 133)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, also to
prevent damage to carbon parts.
To remove and reposition the mats in
the passenger compartment, proceed
as follows:
❒undo the screws with folding ring A
fig. 123, driver side and passenger
side;
❒ separate the Velcro fabric strips B in
the front area under the mats, lifting
them from the floor.
Reposition the mats on the floor,
making sure that the holes at the back
of the mats coincide with the screw
housings on the floor.
To reposition, proceed as follows: ❒
tighten the screws with folding ring A
fig. 123 in the housings on the floor;
❒ unite the Velcro fabric strips of the
mats with those on the floor, taking
care to apply light pressure and
ensure that the fastening is efficient.
134)
SEATS AND FABRIC OR
MICROFIBRE PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. For better cleaning of
microfibre trim (including the steering
wheel, for versions/markets, where
provided) we advise you to moisten the
brush. Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois
or slightly damp cloth, without exerting
too much pressure. Remove any liquid
or grease stains using an absorbent
dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean
with a soft cloth or chamois moistened
with water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
