GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒ replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
❒ after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
❒ when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this
chapter.
IMPORTANT
13) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part
of the bulb with your fingers may
reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. In the case
of accidental contact, rub the
lamp with a cloth and spirit and
leave to dry.
WARNING
101) Modifications or repairs to theelectric system that are not
carried out properly or do not take
the system technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
102) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas; in the case of
breakage they may burst.

103) Due to the high supply voltage,gas discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon)
should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of
death! Contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

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).

❒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

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.
