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 services at fixed
distance intervals and, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
liquids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Alfa
Romeo Dealerships according to fixed
time or kilometres/miles intervals. 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 agreement only. If your vehicle is
used frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.IMPORTANT NOTES
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out 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.

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant, brake fluid and
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen wash/wipe system
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rearscreen wiper blades
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the dipstick.
Carry out the check with the vehicle
parked on level ground.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used mainly under one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks, cleanliness
and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves - bushes
- etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change engine
oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace pollen
filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. Check correct pressure
when the tyres are cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the prescribed pressure for standard tyres.
When travelling at speeds over 160 km/h, inflate the tyres to the values specified for fully laden conditions.
163
Page 166 of 212

SNOW CHAINS
47)
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations. The
snow chains may be applied only onto the
front wheel (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
Use low-clearance snow chains: for tyres
185/65 R15 88H (where provided),
195/55 R16 and 205/55 R16, use
low-clearance snow chains with a
maximum projection beyond the tyre
profile of 9 mm.
IMPORTANT The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) wheel is punctured and snow
chains must be used, you must remove a
normal wheel from the rear axle and
replace it with the space-saver wheel. In
this way, with two normal drive wheels, it
is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
146)The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h
for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The
highway code speed limits must however
always be complied with.147)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using
integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the
steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and
wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of
tyre pressure.
IMPORTANT
47)Keep the vehicle's speed down when
snow chains are fitted; never exceed
50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and avoid driving long distances
on roads not covered with snow to avoid
damaging the car and the roadbed.
