and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
142) 143)
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system will not operate when the fluid
level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. For versions/
markets, where provided, there is
a reference notch E on the dipstick (see
previous pages): ONLY the
windscreen/rear window wiper
operates with the level below this
reference.

low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical

4)
IMPORTANT
31) 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
car.
32) The oil level should never exceed
the MAX mark.
33) Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already
in the engine.34) PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is
used in the engine cooling
system; use the same fluid type as
that already in the cooling system
when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed with other types
of anti-freeze fluids. In the event
of topping up with an unsuitable
product, under no circumstances
start the engine and contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
35) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which
is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
WARNING
138) Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine
compartment. Flammable gases
and fumes may be present and
risk igniting.
139) Be very careful when working in
the engine compartment when
the engine is hot: you may get
burned.

beam and/or main beam headlights are
on and the windscreen washer is
activated.Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
