NOZZLES
Screen washer
The windscreen washer nozzles are
adjustable fig. 122. They are originally
adjusted at the factory. Should it be
necessary to adjust them again,
contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If there is no jet of fluid, firstly check
that there is some fluid in the reservoir
(see paragraph "Checking fluid levels"
in this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
WARNING
131) Driving with a worn wiper bladeis a serious hazard, because
visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
IMPORTANT
26) Do not operate the screen wiperwith the blades lifted from the
windscreen.
BODYWORKPROTECTION AGAINST
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The car features advanced
technological solutions for effective
protection of the exterior bodywork and
structure.
The best products and best painting
systems lend the exterior bodywork
particularly high resistance to
atmospheric agents (solar radiation,
acid rain, etc.) and gravel, through
specific protections.
The chassis too, in light, corrosion-
resistant alloy, is treated to prevent the
formation of surface oxidation.
CAR CORROSION
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation, due to rust, of any original
element of the structure. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to
