2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Transmission

Frequency of Oil Changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions,
it is not necessary to change the
transmission oil.
Caution!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. Your
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
Replacing The Battery
If necessary, replace the battery with
another battery with the same
specifications. It is advised to contact
an authorized dealer for replacement.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.
Note:
It will not be possible to open the trunk
with a key or by pressing the button in
the passenger compartment when the
battery is disconnected. So, always
position the manual trunk opening strap
on the trunk lock before disconnecting
the battery. The procedure is described
in the "Storing The Vehicle" section in
this chapter.
RAISING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle requires lifting, visit an
authorized dealer which is equipped
with shop jacks or jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side skirts with the
symbols.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water if possible.
Wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge.
Rinse well with water and dry with a
leather chamois.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, hood, headlight frames, etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas. Do
not wash the car after it has been left in
the sun or with the hood hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
If washing the car in a service that
moves the car, for cars with automatic
transmissions, PARK (P) must be cut
out. You have to shut off the engine in
the following conditions: car stopped,
transmission in NEUTRAL (N), press the
starter button for at least three
seconds.
Note:
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion. Windows
Use specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.Caution!
Wipe the rear window inside gently with a
cloth following the direction of the filaments
to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
Note:
Never use aromatic substances
(e.g. gasoline) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
When cleaning with a pressure
washer, keep the pressure washer at
least eight inches (20 cm) away from
the headlights. Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at the
windshield wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at specializeded
workshop.
Note:
The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition device in
the STOP position. After the washing
operation, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
