SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for the car
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. periodically
check level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km
and between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is 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 arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out only 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.WARNING
At 2,000 km from the next service operation the display will show a
message.
The Scheduled Services intervals are set out by the Manufacturer.
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.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located inside the front bumper fig. 176.
They are activated when the dipped beam and/or main beam
headlights are on and the windscreen washer is activated.
Check the correct operation and cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
BODYWORKPROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTSThe car is equipped with the best available technological solutions to
effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒painting products and systems which give the car resistance to
corrosion and abrasion
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to
corrosion;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner wing, edges, etc;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture which could favour the formation of rust inside;
❒use of special films to protect against abrasion in exposed areas
(e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTYThe car is covered by warranty against perforation due to corrosion of
any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms
of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet.
