134)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.
135)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.
136)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
137)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental contact,
immediately wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse thoroughly.
Call a doctor immediately if swallowed.
138)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
IMPORTANT
3)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters, we
advise you to contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
4)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership for oil changes.
BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only. To
carry out this operation contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver's side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting and then
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery.
Charging should be slow at a low ampere
rating for approximately 24 hours.
Charging for a longer time may damage
the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the electrical
system must be correctly reconnected to
the battery, i.e. the positive cable (+) to
the positive terminal and the negative
cable (–) to the negative terminal. The
battery terminals are marked with the
positive (+) and negative (–) symbols, and
are shown on the battery cover. The
battery terminals must also be
corrosion-free and firmly secured to the
terminals. If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted on
the vehicle, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.The cables of the electrical system must
be correctly reconnected to the battery,
i.e. the positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to the
negative terminal. The battery terminals
are marked with the positive (+) and
negative (–) symbols, and are shown on
the battery cover. The battery terminals
must also be corrosion-free and firmly
secured to the terminals.
VERSIONS WITHOUT START&STOP
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
reconnect the terminal to the negative
battery pole.
VERSIONS WITH START&STOP
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the connector 1 fig. 122
(pressing the button 2) from the sensor
3 monitoring the battery conditions, on
the negative pole (–) 4 of the battery;

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Users will be able to measure their own
performance thanks to a timer and
indicators available on the radio.
Moreover, with Performance they will be
able to receive driving advice in real time,
record their itineraries and receive
badges based on their behaviour at the
wheel. It also allows users to access their
performance on the smartphone thanks
to theUconnect™LIVEApp and, if they
wish to give their consent, to share their
performance with theUconnect™LIVE
community on the www.driveuconnect.eu
website.
By pressing the followingUconnect™
keys, users will be able to access the
following sections:
Indicators: displays some car status
values: battery charge status and level,
oil pressure, etc.
Dynamic indicators: displays dome
dynamic indicators: G force, pedal
position (brake, accelerator), etc.
Badge: the Badge section collects the
users’ successes. Each badge, bronze,
silver or gold depending on the users’
performances, may be locked/unlocked.
Timer: displays trip times, average km
times, distances, etc.
Routes: selects one of various
itineraries, and to start the driving
experience, displays the itinerary map
and accesses all the performances
obtained.
ABMy itineraries: creates a customised
itinerary or selects an itinerary from
those created previously and stores the
GPS tracking from the starting point“A“
to the destination“B“.
Settings: selects the measurement
units and performs backup.
Recording and transferring trip data
The trip data can be stored in the system
memory and made available outside the
car thanks to theUconnect™LIVEApp.
This allows users to view the collected
data later, showing the overall trip data
analysis. Further information is available
at www.DriveUconnect.eu.
For full access to the service’s
functionality, users must allow their data
to be recorded on-board the car. The
following icon
is the user’s
geo-location indicator. Through
Uconnect™LIVE, users can choose to
enable detection of their location and to
share their data with the community.Efficient Drive
The Efficient Drive application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you reach a more
efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the following
parameters: acceleration, deceleration,
gearchange, speed
Display of the Efficient Drive
Press the Efficient Drive button to
interact with the function.
A screen will appear on the radio showing
4 indices: Acceleration, Deceleration,
Speed and Gear. These indices are grey
until the system has enough data to
evaluate the driving style. Once sufficient
data are available, the indices will have
5 colours depending on the evaluation:
dark green (very good), light green,
yellow, orange and red (very bad).
In the event of extended inactivity, the
display will show the average of the
indices until that moment (the "Average
index"), then the indices will be coloured
again in real time as soon as the vehicle is
restarted.
