2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio gas type

IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to the
tank. AdBlue® freezes under 12.2°F
(–11°C). Although the system is
designed to operate below the freezing
point of AdBlue®, it is advisable not to
fill the tank beyond the maximum level
because if the AdBlue® freezes the
system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in the “Topping up AdBlue®
diesel emissions additive” paragraph in
this chapter.
If AdBlue® is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
AdBlue® was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Do not add additives or other fluids
to AdBlue®, doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into another
container: it could be contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least
by not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter to continue using the car
normally.
The AdBlue® level is not updated if
the car is parked on a sloping road.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
129)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
130)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
131)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
132)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure that
the engine is cold, to prevent the risk of
burns.
IMPORTANT
55)Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan of
the bulb. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.
REPLACING FUSES

do not keep accessories (e.g. Connect
system, 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
cable from the negative battery terminal.
If, after purchasing the car, you wish to
install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership, whose qualified staff will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption.
IMPORTANT If the battery was
disconnected, do not start the engine
immediately after reconnecting the
terminals, but press the start button,
without operating the pedals, to turn on
the instrument panel and then start the
engine.
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 is also more prone to the risk of
freezing (already at 14 °F / -10°C).
Replacing the battery
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the samespecifications. Follow the battery
Manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
WARNING
165)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
166)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Do not get too close to
the radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may
start; danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
167)If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (where provided). WARNING:
risk of burns!
168)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.
169)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.
170)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.171)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
172)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
173)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature, remove
the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
174)When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes
with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
63)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are not
compatible with each other! Topping up with
an unsuitable fluid could severely damage
your vehicle.
64)The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
65)If the MAX mark is exceeded (last notch
on the right turns red) after the top-up, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the oil in excess removed.
66)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
67)Use a fluid of the same type as that
already present in the reservoir for any
topping up of the engine cooling system. The
fluid cannot be mixed with other types of
antifreeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

The vehicle is equipped with an IBS
(Intelligent Battery Sensor), which is able
to measure the charge and discharge
voltage and calculate the charge level
and the general condition of the battery.
The sensor is placed next to the negative
terminal (-) of the battery.
For a correct charge/discharge
procedure, the charge voltage must go
through the IBS sensor.
Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on the user's manual to
completely recharge the battery;
when the battery is charged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
first disconnect the black cable
terminal of the battery charger and then
the red cable terminal;
refit the protective cover of the
positive terminal of the battery and the
access cover to the battery
compartment.
IMPORTANT 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.
WARNING
175)The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a flammable
gas that can explode and cause serious
injury.
176)When charging or recharging the
battery, always follow the precautions
listed.
