(4) The maximum mileage is 72,000 mi (120,000 km). The belt must be replaced every 5 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions
(dusty areas, especially severe weather conditions, very low or very high temperatures for extended periods, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum
mileage is 36,000 mi (60,000 km). The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the mileage
(5) The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or message in
the instrument panel. In any case, it must never exceed 2 years. Where the car is used mostly in urban settings you need to replace the engine oil filter every year.

IMPORTANT Make sure not to add too
much engine oil when topping up. Engine
oil in excess may damage the engine.
Have the car checked. Never exceed the
MAX level when topping up engine oil. It
is advisable to check the oil level inintermediate steps on the display. Use
the oil dipstick on the Quadrifoglio
version.
IMPORTANT The oil level is not refreshed
immediately on the display after topping
up. Consequently, wait for the oil level to
be refreshed on the display following to
procedure shown below.
Oil level indication update on display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as follows
to ensure correct indication of the oil
level on the display:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
Proceed as follows:
with the car level, run the engine for
approximately 5 minutes (temperature
higher than 176°F (80°C)) and then stop
the engine;
start the engine again and idle it for
about 2 minutes.
2.2 JTD Engine
Proceed as follows:
with the car level, run the engine until
the second oil temperature notch lights
up on the display on the instrument panel,
then stop the engine;
wait for at least 3 minutes, turn the
ignition switch in ON position without
starting the engine and wait for
20 seconds.
IMPORTANT If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the
symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an Alfa
Romeo dealership.
Engine oil consumption
66)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.88 lb (400 grams every
620 miles (1000 km). When the car is
new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
181
first 3100 - 3700 miles(5,000–6,000 km).

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;

SERVICING AND CARE

This function can only be activated within
2 minutes of setting the ignition device
to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at least
three seconds.
If, after using the function, the ignition
device is set back to ON with the blades
in a position other than rest position (at
the base of the windscreen), they will only
return to rest position following a
command given using the stalk (stalk
upwards, into unstable position) or when
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) is exceeded.
Replacing the windscreen/rearscreen
wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
lift the wiper arm, press the
attachment spring tab fig. 181 and
remove the blade from the arm;
fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;
lower the wiper arm onto the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Windscreen/rear window washer
The screen washer jets are located on the
windscreen wiper arms, the rear screen
wiper arm and the rear spoiler. If there is
no jet of fluid, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir (see paragraph
“Engine compartment” in this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not
clogged; use a needle to unblock them if
necessary.
WARNING
177)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in the
case of blowbacks from the engine. DO NOT
REMOVE this system unless you need to
carry out repair or servicing operations.
Before starting the engine, ensure that the
system has not been removed: failure to
observe this precaution may result in serious
injury.
178)Exhaust emissions are very dangerous,
and may be lethal. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas which
can cause fainting and poisoning if inhaled.
179)The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material. Dry
grass or leaves can also catch fire if they
come into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come into
contact with flammable material.
IMPORTANT
68)Incorrect servicing of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
malfunction inspected immediately by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.

NOTE In partnership with Pirelli, Alfa Romeo has developed a range of tyres specially for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. They can be
identified by the “AR” mark. The “AR” tyres ensure the best vehicle performance and safety. Alfa Romeo cannot guarantee that
non-approved tyres are suitable, and they may cause vehicle malfunctions.
2.0 T4 MAir and 2.2 JTD engines: winter tyres are available in the following sizes: 235/65R17 108H, 235/60R18 103V,
235/55R19 101V and 255/45 R20 101W.

TECHNICAL DATA

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE
When the tyres are warm, the inflation pressure should be +4.35 psi (+0.3 bar) in relation to the recommended figure. However,
recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold. If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the "Raising the vehicle" paragraph in
the "In an emergency" chapter.
The pressures given below apply to all tyre types: summer, winter and all season (where provided).

For 225/65 R17 tyres, in medium load conditions, there are two possible pressure settings depending on the mode required:
comfort (*) and ECO (**). Restore the inflation pressures accordingly. ECO configuration consumption is not guaranteed with comfort
configuration pressures.
If winter tyres are fitted, always use the same inflation pressures as for the tyres originally installed (table above). For
225/65 R17 tyres in medium load conditions, use the comfort configuration pressures.
