The positive pole (+) can be accessed by
removing the cover fig. 142
open protective flap fig. 143.The pole is shown in fig. 144.
To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect the
auxiliary battery to the remote poles of
the flat battery. Usually, these cables
have terminals at the ends and are
identified by different sheath colours
(red = positive, black = negative).
JUMP STARTING
136) 137) 138)
Proceed as follows:
switch off all electrical devices in the
vehicle;
engage the parking brake, move the
lever to P (Park), for versions equipped
with automatic transmission, or neutral,
for versions with manual gearbox, then
set the ignition device to STOP;
should you be using the battery of
another vehicle, park the other vehicle
within the range of the cables used for
the connection, operate the parking
brake and ensure that its ignition is off.
IMPORTANT If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, check that
there is no accidental contact of metal
parts between the two vehicles, since an
earth connection may result, with the risk
of serious injury to any people who may
be nearby.
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the instructions
given below.

ENGINE OIL
144)
56)
The engine oil level can be seen on the
instrument panel display every time the
engine is started, or on the Connect
system display by activating on the main
menu (MENU button) the following
functions in sequence: “Apps”; “My Car”
and “Oil Level”.
The oil level can also be checked
manually.
Manual gearbox: checking oil level
2.2 JTD Engine
Have this operation performed at an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Engine oil consumption
57)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.55 pounds (250 grams) every
620 mi (1,000 km). When the vehicle is
new, the engine needs to be run in;
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
first 3,100 - 3,730 mi (5,000 -
6,000 km).
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
145)
58)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir 2 and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" chapter.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/
HEADLIGHTS
146) 147)
The windscreen and headlights washer
fluid reservoir (where available) is
equipped with a telescopic filler.
If the level is too low, remove reservoir
cap 4 and lift the filler then add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight washing
system will not work if the liquid level is
low (situation indicated by the symbol on
the instrument panel display). The
windscreen washer will keep working. On
vehicles equipped with headlight
washers, Where provided, there is a
reference notch on the dipstick: ONLY
the windscreen/rear window washer
operates with the level below this
reference.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the max. level. If
the liquid level in the tank is insufficient,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
have the system checked.

4)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
Useful advice for extending the life of
your battery
To avoid draining your battery and make
it last longer, observe the following
instructions:
when you park the car, ensure that the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly, to prevent any lights from
remaining on inside the passenger's
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. 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.
If, after purchasing the car, you wish to
install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
147
Page 157 of 204

transmissions, automatic activation of P
(Park mode) must be disabled. You have
to switch off the engine in the following
conditions: car stopped, gear in N
(Neutral), press the starter button. The
car will remain in N (Neutral) for
15 minutes, after which P (Park) mode
will be activated.
IMPORTANT
71)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
72)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes should
not be used for cleaning the car. Bird
droppings must be washed off immediately
and thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to remove
them with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could alter
the typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.
