(3) 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 all cases, never exceed 2 year/24,000 mi (40,000 km). If the car is used mainly for urban
driving or fuel not strictly compliant with European Specifications EN590 is used, it is advisable to change the oil and replace the filter every
year/12,000 mi (20,000 km).
(8) Heavy conditions (urban driving, long periods of idling): the recommended maximum distance is 36,000 mi (60,000 km). Regardless of distance,
change every 3 years together with the accessory belt.
(4) Areas that are not dusty: recommended maximum mileage 60,000 mi (100,000 km). The belt must be replaced every 5 years, regardless of
distance travelled. Dusty areas and/or heavy conditions (cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling): the recommended maximum distance
is 36,000 mi (60,000 km). The belt must be replaced every 3 years, regardless of distance travelled.

SERVICING AND CARE

ENGINE OIL
144)
56)
The engine oil level can be seen on the
instrument panel display every time the
engine is started, or on the Connect
system display by activating on the main
menu (MENU button) the following
functions in sequence: “Apps”; “My Car”
and “Oil Level”.
The oil level can also be checked
manually.
Manual gearbox: checking oil level
2.2 JTD Engine
Have this operation performed at an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Engine oil consumption
57)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.55 pounds (250 grams) every
620 mi (1,000 km). When the vehicle is
new, the engine needs to be run in;
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
first 3,100 - 3,730 mi (5,000 -
6,000 km).
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
145)
58)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir 2 and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" chapter.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/
HEADLIGHTS
146) 147)
The windscreen and headlights washer
fluid reservoir (where available) is
equipped with a telescopic filler.
If the level is too low, remove reservoir
cap 4 and lift the filler then add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight washing
system will not work if the liquid level is
low (situation indicated by the symbol on
the instrument panel display). The
windscreen washer will keep working. On
vehicles equipped with headlight
washers, Where provided, there is a
reference notch on the dipstick: ONLY
the windscreen/rear window washer
operates with the level below this
reference.
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
4)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
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;
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
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
negative battery cable.
If, after purchasing the car, you wish to
install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
147

influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership, whose qualified staff will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate
this. To carry out this procedure, simply
turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other and then put it back
to the central position.
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 (at temperatures as high as 14
°F (-10°C)).BATTERY
148) 149) 150) 151)
59)
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.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate
this. To carry out this procedure, simply
turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other and place it back in
central position.
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 (at temperatures as high as 14
°F (-10°C)).
WARNING
142)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
143)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.
144)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!
145)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.
146)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.
147)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
148)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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
Do not travel with the storage compartment open: it may injure the front seat occupants in the event of an accident.
The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children don’t use it: risk of fire and/or burns.
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
INTERIOR
Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which are generated
by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.
There must be no obstacles on the floor underneath the pedals; make sure that mats are always flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
Do not use aggressive organic substance such as: gasoline, kerosene, oil, acetone or solvents.
SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONSYSTEMS
The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach very high temperatures during operation. Therefore do not park the vehicle on flammable
materials (e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
IMPORTANT
EXTENDED CAR INACTIVITY
When you need to disconnect or remove the battery, do not close the boot. In order to avoid possible accidental closure, it is recommended to place
an obstacle (e.g. a cloth) on the lock that would physically avoid closure.
INTERIOR
Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives to clean the dashboard and instrument panel lens.
