ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNERIf after purchasing the car, you decide
to install electrical accessories that
require a permanent electric supply
(radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden
the electric supply, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo, will also
check whether the car's electrical
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.

INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices
installed after buying the car in the
context of after-sales service must carry
the following label:fig. 88Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
authorises the installation of transceiver
devices on condition that such
installations are carried out in
a workmanlike fashion, following the
manufacturer’s instructions, at a
specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either
directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not
be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not
supplied or recommended by Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the
provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.IMPORTANT The use of these devices
inside the passenger compartment
(without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle’s electronic systems to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers' health.
As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.
WARNING
58) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers or non-standard alloy
wheels: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency in sharp,
repeated braking or on long
descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats,
etc.).

SCHEDULED
SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has
prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every
30,000 kilometres (for 1.4 petrol
versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for
1750 Turbo Petrol and diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check
level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.)
before 30,000/35,000 km and between
these services deadlines.
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 only with your explicit
agreement. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2,000 km from the next service
operation the display will show a
message.
The Scheduled Services intervals are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure
to comply with the schedule may
invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFEFor years, Alfa Romeo has pursued a global commitment to protect and respect the environment by continually improving its
production processes and developing increasingly eco-compatible products. To ensure its customers the best possible service
in compliance with environmental standards and in response to obligations arising out of European Directive 2000/53/EC on
end of life vehicles, Alfa Romeo offers its customers the chance to hand back their vehicles (*) at the end of their life cycle at no
additional cost.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January
2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge
irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and
bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships or an Alfa Romeo authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high-quality service for the collection,
treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an Alfa Romeo Dealership or by calling
the freephone number 00800 2532 0000 or on the Alfa Romeo website.
