ENGINE OILCheck that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN reference, add oil through the
filler B until it reaches the MAX reference.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX reference.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean it with a lint-free cloth and
reinsert it. Take it out again and check that the engine oil
level is between the MIN and MAX references on the dipstick.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait for the engine
to cool down before loosening the filler plug,
particularly for vehicles with aluminium plug (for
versions/markets, where provided). WARNING: risk of burns!
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is approximately 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.
Do not add oil with specifications other than those of the oil
already in the engine.
Used engine oil and oil filters contain substances which are
harmful to the environment. We recommend having the
oil and oil filter replaced by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.
ENGINE COOLANTIf the level is too low, unscrew reservoir cap C and add the fluid
described in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the engine cooling
system. Use the same fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not start the engine under
any circumstances. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the cap with another genuine one or the
operation of the system may be adversely affected. Do
not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot: you risk
scalding yourself.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUIDIf the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D and add the fluid described in
the chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer system will not operate when the
fluid level is low, even though the windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some versions/markets there is a reference
notch E on the dipstick (see previous pages): ONLY the windscreen/
rear window wiper operates beneath with the level below this
reference.
Do not travel with the windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of the system
without fluid could damage or cause rapid deterioration of some
system components.Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable: the engine compartment contains hot parts
which could cause a fire on contact.
BRAKE FLUIDCheck that the fluid is at the maximum level. If the fluid level in the
reservoir is too low, undo reservoir cap E and add the fluid described
in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the
event of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and neutral soap, then rinse
with plenty of water. Consult a doctor immediately if you
swallow the fluid.The symbol
on the container indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the mineral type.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond repair.

AIR CLEANER/POLLEN
FILTER/DIESEL FILTERContact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to replace the filters.
BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the electrolyte to be
topped up with distilled water. A periodic check carried out at Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services is, however, necessary to check efficiency.REPLACING THE BATTERYIf necessary, replace the battery with another genuine battery with the
same specifications. Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions
for maintenance.USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERYTo 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, bonnet and flaps are
closed correctly, to prevent any roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is however equipped
with a system which switches all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard 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 pole;
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light switches on to indicate this. To carry
out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one
end to the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.

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.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can happen as
early as –10°C). Refer to “Storing the car” in “Starting and driving” if
the car is left parked for a long time.
If after having purchased your car you decide to add accessories
requiring permanent electrical power (alarm etc.) or accessories that
require large amounts of power, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement.
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and the eyes. Keep naked flames
and sources of sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.Using the battery with insufficient fluid irreparably
damages the battery and may cause an explosion.
Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your car. After purchasing your
car, if you wish to install any accessories (anti-theft, radio
phone etc.), contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services, who will suggest
the most appropriate devices for your vehicle and will, most
importantly, advise you if a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.Batteries contain substances which are very dangerous for
the environment. For the replacement of the battery,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.If the car will be unused for an extended period of
time in extremely cold weather conditions, remove the
battery and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.When performing any operation on the battery or near
it, always protect your eyes with special goggles.
