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.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every year or 620 miles ( 1,000 km) or
before long journeys, check and top up, if
necessary:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
Alfa Romeo dealership as soon as
possible);
low AdBlue diesel emissions additive
(UREA) level warning (2.2 JTD versions
only);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washing/wiping
system and positioning/wear of wiper
blades.

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;

SERVICING AND CARE
BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paintwork
77)7)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Some parts of the car may be covered
with a matt paint which, in order to be
maintained intact, requires special care:
see the instructions in the warning at the
end of this paragraph.
78)
To correctly wash the vehicle, follow
these instructions:
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at least
16 in [40 cm] away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
water could cause damage to the car in
the long term;
to make it easier to remove any dirt
deposits in the area where the blades are
normally located it is recommended to
position the windscreen wipers vertically
(service position), for more information
consult the “Maintenance procedures”
paragraph in this chapter.If you want to wash a car with automatic
transmission in a car wash that moves it,
you must do the following:
make sure that the car is on a flat
surface and that automatic engagement
of the parking brake when the engine is
switched off is disabled (for how to
disable it, refer to the “Electric parking
brake” section in the “Starting and
driving” chapter);
with the car stationary, the gear in N
(Neutral) and the brake pedal up: press
the start button. The car will remain in N
(Neutral) for 15 minutes, after which P
(Park) mode will be activated.
IMPORTANT
77)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.78)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the car
only by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry
it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be used
for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not use
pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning
the front windscreen and rear window; dilute
it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.
