BATTERY
Battery A fig. 127 does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled

a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership
is, however, necessary to check
efficiency.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY

27)
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.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The car features advanced
technological solutions for effective
protection of the exterior bodywork and
structure.
The best products and best painting
systems lend the exterior bodywork
particularly high resistance to
atmospheric agents (solar radiation,
acid rain, etc.) and gravel, through
specific protections.
The chassis too, in light, corrosion-
resistant alloy, is treated to prevent the
formation of surface oxidation.
CAR CORROSION
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation, due to rust, of any original
element of the structure. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to
the Warranty Booklet.PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork5)29) 30)
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:
❒wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water. Remember that
the build up of water can damage
the car over a period of time;
❒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, engine cover, 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.
