HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These are located within the front
bumper.
They are activated when the dipped
beam and/or main beam headlights are
on and the windscreen washer is
activated.
Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
WARNING
137)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
IMPORTANT
46)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
BATTERY
The battery 5 (see previous pages) 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.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
138) 139) 140) 141)
47)
5)
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
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.
IMPORTANT Every time the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. This is indicated by the
appearance of the icon
. To carry out
this procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the
other or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
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 battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (this can happen as early as
-10°C). Refer to the "Vehicle inactivity"
paragraph in "Starting and driving"
chapter if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time.

(*) Where fitted
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck that the
value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the prescribed pressure for standard tyres.
When running at speeds higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures.
