2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio tailgate

Symbol What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The symbol lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that
the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership if the symbol comes on when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):slow down and, if the warning light stays on,
stop the vehicle. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation,
then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before
turning it off.
DOOR OPEN
The symbol switches on when one or more doors are not completely shut. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and
the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
BONNET NOT PROPERLY SHUT
The symbol turns on when the bonnet is not properly closed, along with the icon, an image of the car with an open bonnet also
appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the bonnet is open and the vehicle is moving.

TAILGATE NOT PROPERLY SHUT
The symbol turns on when the tailgate is not properly closed, along with the icon, an image of the vehicle with an open tailgate also
appears on the display.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

52)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windscreen,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle driving
in a transverse or opposite way on the same
lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid
scratching the windscreen. The camera
operation may also be limited or absent in
some driving, traffic and road surface
conditions.REAR BACK-UP CAMERA /

STARTING AND DRIVING

Versions with Cargo Box and
space-saver spare wheel
(where provided)
Proceed as follows:
open the tailgate and then lift up the
load bed fig. 122;
undo the locking device 1 fig. 125 and
extract the space-saver spare wheel to
reach the emergency opening cable 1
fig. 126 positioned on the side of the
filler;
pull the cord to unlock the fuel flap;
open the fuel flap by pressing it.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is
washed with a high-pressure jet, keep it
at a distance of at least 8 in (20 cm).
WARNING
122)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/plugs
could cause a pressure increase inside the
tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
123)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
124)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
125)If the AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the AdBlue may decompose and
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the cap
of the AdBlue tank is unscrewed, therefore
be careful not to inhale any ammonia
vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.

Its status can be changed from unused to
operational only if:
the handbrake is engaged or the shift
lever is in the P position;
the engine is off;
the tailgate is open.
There is a LED on the button 1, which may
be in one of the following states:
LED off: indicates that at least one of
the above conditions is not met, or the
trailer light wiring is connected to the
socket.
LED flashing: indicates that the tow
hook is moving or that the system must
be initialised;
LED on fixed: indicates that the tow
hook can be moved.
Safe opening and closing of the tow hook
is guaranteed by a protection system
that can stop and reverse its movement
when it encounters an obstacle while
opening or closing.
The system must be initialised after the
battery has been disconnected, the
movement has been blocked by a
physical obstacle or if the safety system
has intervened three times
consecutively.
IMPORTANT When the tow hook is not in
use, put it in the closed position.
System initialisation
In the conditions of movement described
above, press the movement button 1 for
at least 10 seconds. The LED will turn on
to confirm the initialisation.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and maintenance
operations at fixed distance intervals
and, for versions/markets, where
provided, at fixed time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an Alfa
Romeo Dealership according to a set
time schedule. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit consent only.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
operations are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.

SERVICING AND CARE

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
168)
67)
If the level is below the MIN mark,
remove the reservoir cap and top up with
suitable fluid (see the "Fluids and
lubricants" paragraph in the "Technical
data" chapter), until it reaches the MAX
mark.
IMPORTANT Never attempt to remove
the cap with radiator or expansion tank
hot: RISK OF BURNS!
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/
HEADLIGHTS
169) 170)
The windscreen and headlights washer
fluid reservoir (where provided) is
equipped with a telescopic filler. If the
level is too low, remove the reservoir cap
4 fig. 176, then lift the filler as shown in
the figure and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" chapter.
After having topped up the fluid, arrange
the filler correctly and then press on the
cap until you hear it click.
IMPORTANT With a low fluid level
(indicated by the dedicated symbol
appearing on the instrument panel
display), the headlight washer system
does not work, even though the screen
washers continue to work.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the max. level. If
the liquid level in the tank is insufficient,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
have the system checked.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ACTIVATIONSYSTEM OIL
5)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
BATTERY
171) 172) 173) 173) 174)
6)
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.
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;
