REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
fault or improper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check
the condition of its fuse: the filament
A fig. 101 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with
another with the same amperage (same
colour).

102: to access the fuses, undo screws
A and remove cover B.
The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each fuse
is shown on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you
close cover B on the fuse box.

IMPORTANT
16) Be careful to position the liftarms correctly at the points
illustrated, in order to prevent
damage to the carbon fibre
chassis and the bodywork
components.
17) To avoid damage to the carbon fibre chassis, the car cannot be
raised with standard hydraulic
jacks, only with suitable lowered
hydraulic jacks. Contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
TOWING THE CAR
18)
The tow hook provided with the car is
located in the tool box in the luggage
compartment.
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Take tow hook A and tighten it fully
onto the threaded pin fig. 109.
110) 111) 112)
IMPORTANT
18) The tow hook attachment is onlyavailable at the front end of the
car.
WARNING
110) Before towing, turn the ignitionkey to MAR-ON and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered. Also
check that the gearbox/
transmission is in neutral (N).
111) When towing, remember that the assistance of the brake servo
is absent. Consequently, more
force is required at the pedal
in order to brake. Do not
use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. Make
sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car while towing.
When towing the car, you must
comply with all specific traffic
regulations, both in terms of the
towing device and behaviour
on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the car.
Before tightening the ring, clean
the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before
towing the car.

HEAVY-DUTY USE OF
THE CARIf the car is used mainly under one of
the following conditions:
❒ if the car is used under demanding
conditions, e.g. on track;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short, repeated journeys (less than
7–8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
❒ engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check of front and rear disc brake
pad condition and wear;
❒ check cleanliness of tailgate locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒ visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel system -
brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒ check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒ visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts; ❒
check and, if necessary, change

ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
A fig. 110.
For this check, take out the dipstick
from its seat, clean it with a lint-free
cloth, reinsert the dipstick; take it out
again and check the oil level.
116)
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
mark, add oil through the filler B fig.
110 until it reaches the MAX mark.
20)
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and
check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
116)
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately
1 litre of oil.
Engine oil consumption
21)
3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
stopping it before you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT
22)
117)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
plug C fig. 110 and add the fluid
described in the "Fluids and lubricants"
paragraph of the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN WASHER
FLUID
118) 119)
To check the windscreen washer fluid
level, proceed as follows:
❒
to avoid any interference during the
procedure, lift the windscreen wiper
blade according to the "Windscreen
wiper" paragraph in the
"Maintenance and care" chapter;
❒ loosen the 4 self-tapping screws A
fig. 112 using the supplied
screwdriver. Remove the bonnet
grille;
❒ release the plug from the opening; ❒
leaving the plug close to the opening,
put a finger on the central hole B fig.
113 in the plug and remove it: the
level can be seen on the control pipe
C fig. 114 due to capillarity;
❒ after the check, reinsert the plug B
with the control pipe C in the initial
position;
❒ reposition the bonnet grille and
tighten the 4 self-tapping screws A.
WARNING Re-close the plug holding it
horizontally (not directed towards the
bonnet) to prevent the opening tang
from remaining locked in a position
difficult to reach.
It is recommended to check the
windscreen washer fluid regularly, in
particular in driving conditions needing
a heavier use of the windscreen washer.

WINDSCREEN
WIPERIt is advisable to replace the blade
about once a year.
131)
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blade:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber to the glass. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if
required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass;
❒ do not operate the windscreen wiper
on dry glass.
IMPORTANT Do not lift the arm of the
windscreen wiper when it is in its initial
rest position. Refer to the following
instructions to lift the windscreen wiper
blade correctly.
Lifting blade
If it is necessary to lift the blade from
the windscreen (e.g. in the event of
snow or if the blade needs
replacement) proceed as follows:
❒ turn ring nut A fig. 120 to
(wiper
off);
❒ turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and
then to STOP; ❒
after turning the ignition key to STOP,
within 2 minutes move the right stalk
upwards, into unstable ("anti-panic")
position, for at least half a second.
The windscreen wiper then executes
part of a stroke; at each command,
approximately 1/3 of a normal wiper
stroke is triggered.
❒ the previous operation can be
repeated up to 3 times, in order to
move the blade to the most suitable
position;
❒ lift the blade from the windscreen and
proceed with the required operation;
❒ lower the blade, bringing it into
contact with the windscreen;
❒ bring the blade to the initial rest
position, turning the ignition key
to MAR-ON.
26)
Replacing the
windscreen wiper blade
Proceed as follows:
❒lift the windscreen wiper blade,
following the instructions given
preciously;
❒ press tab A fig. 121 of the
attachment spring and remove the
blade from the arm;
❒ fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm
and checking that it is locked;
❒ lower the wiper arm onto the
windscreen.
