2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta tow

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has
planned a series of checks and services
at fixed distance intervals and, for
versions/markets, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
liquids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Alfa Romeo Dealerships according to
fixed time or kilometres/miles intervals.
If, during each operation, in addition
to the ones scheduled, the need arises
for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out only with your
explicit agreement. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
The Scheduled Services intervals are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure
to comply with the schedule may
invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
For versions equipped with specific
supply (e.g. LPG) and/or trim level, in
addition to what is described in the
following Scheduled Servicing Plan,
refer to the relevant additional items in
the dedicated supplements.
