requirements, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership, whose qualified staff will

IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate
this. To carry out this procedure, simply
turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other and then put it back
to the central position.
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

The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at an
Alfa Romeo Dealership is, however,
necessary to check efficiency.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.

WARNING
142)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
143)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Do not get too close to
the radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may
start; danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
144)If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (where provided). WARNING:
risk of burns!
145)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
146)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid 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.
147)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
148)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.

with shop jacks or jack arms.

SNOW CHAINS
70)
Rear Wheel Drive and All-wheel drive
versions
0.28 in (7-mm) snow chains can be used
on all tyres. For tyres up to 8.8Ûin
(225 mm) in width (205/60R16,
225/55R16, 225/50R17, 225/45R18),
it is also possible to install 0.35 in (9 mm)
chains.
We recommend using snow chains
available from the Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Important notes
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of each
country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
therefore their use is equivalent to that
of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the rear wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and
rear axle may adversely affect vehicle
driveability, with the risk of losing control
of the vehicle and resulting accidents.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE ROTATION
OF THE TYRES
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time
(3,000/6,000 mi - 5,000/10,000 km).
Inverting the tyres means moving them
to different positions on the same side of
the car (front to back and vice versa).
IMPORTANT Crossing the tyres is not
advised, so placing a tyre on a different
axle on the other side of the car is
impossible.
IMPORTANT On cars equipped with
differentiated tyres (tyre size different
between front and rear axles, ex. QV
version) rotation of any of the tyres is not
advised.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction

performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) versions
It is recommended to avoid situations
with a large difference in wear between
the front and rear tyres and to strictly
use winter tyres of the sizes given in the
“Rims and tyres provided” table.
The AWD systems and the original tyres
were developed together to ensure the
vehicle’s best performance. When
changing the tyres, it is therefore
recommended to use the same “AR”
marked tyres, to maintain the same level
of performance and component life.
WARNING
157)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation pressure
of the tyres.
158)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
159)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
IMPORTANT
70)Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h (or the
equivalent in miles). Avoid potholes, do not
drive over steps or sidewalks and do not
drive long distances over roads without
snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle
and the road surface.
BODY
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
71)7)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Some parts of the vehicle may be
covered with a matt paint which, in order
to be maintained intact, requires special
care: see the instructions in the warning
at the end of this paragraph
72)
To correctly wash the vehicle, follow
these instructions:
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a distance
of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
water could cause damage to the vehicle
in the long term;
to make it easier to remove any dirt
deposits in the area where the blades are
normally located it is recommended to
position the windscreen wipers vertically
(service position), for more information
consult the “Maintenance procedures”
paragraph in this chapter.
