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 and replace oil filter;
❒ check and, if necessary, replace air

AIR CLEANERFor cleaner replacement, contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
BATTERYBattery A fig. 118 does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at
a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership
is, however, necessary to check
efficiency.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
122) 123) 124) 125)25)4)
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery rapidly
and maintain its efficiency over time,
carefully observe the following
instructions:
❒
when you park the car, ensure that
the doors and tailgate are properly
closed, to prevent roof lights inside
the passenger and luggage
compartments respectively from
staying on;
❒ switch off the roof lights; the car is,
however, equipped with a system
which switches the interior lights off
automatically;
❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine
is not running;
❒ before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect
the negative battery cable.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.118

PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
5)
27) 28)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of
washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used. For
example, in highly polluted areas, or if
the roads are spread with salt, it is
advisable to wash the car more
frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as
follows:
❒if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the car, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. It should be remembered
that the build up of water can
damage the car over a period of
time;
❒ wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, bonnet, headlight frames, etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas.
The car should not be taken to a closed
area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
left in the sun or with the tailgate hot:
this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the car.
Avoid parking under trees as much
as possible; the resin from trees dulls
the paintwork.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the front headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine
compartment should be carefully
washed, without directing the
jet against any electronic control unit.
Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
