VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited
Maintenance” type and is fitted with an
optical indicator (A-fig. 12) for check-
ing the electrolyte level and charge.
Under normal conditions of use the elec-
trolyte does not need topping up with dis-
tilled water. To make sure that it is in effi-
cient conditions, at routine intervals check
the indicator on the battery cover which
should be dark in colour with a green cen-
tral area.
If the indicator is a bright light colour, or
dark without the green central area, con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.

Batteries contain harmful
substances for the envi-
ronment. To change the
battery we advise contacting Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services who
are equipped for disposal respect-
ing nature and the law.
The incorrect installation
of electric accessories
may cause serious dam-
age to the vehicle. If, after buy-
ing the car, you wish to install
accessories (alarm, radio,
radiotelephone, etc.) contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services who
will be able to suggest the most
suitable devices and above all
advise about the need to use a
more powerful battery.
If the car is to remain
inactive for a long time in
very cold conditions,
remove the battery and take it to
a warm place, otherwise it may
freeze.
POLLEN FILTER
Have the dust/pollen filter checked once
a year by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services,
preferably at the onset of summer.
If the car is mainly used in dusty or heav-
ily polluted areas, the filter should be
changed at more frequent intervals than
specified in the Scheduled Maintenance
Programme.
IMPORTANTThe failure to replace
the pollen filter can considerably reduce
the effectiveness of the climate control
system.
When working on the
battery or near to it,
always protect the eyes
with goggles.
The liquid contained in
the battery is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid con-
tact with the skin or eyes. The
battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place away from
naked flames or possible sources
of sparks: danger of explosion
and fire.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis of
the homologation tests set down by specif-
ic European directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
–urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the car;IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather condi-
tions, driving style, general condi-
tions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load,
presence of a roof rack, use of the
climate control system, other situ-
ations that affect air drag may lead
to different fuel consumption levels
than those measured (see “Reduc-
ing running costs and environment
pollution” in the chapter “Correct
use of the car”).

–extraurban cycle: frequent acceler-
ating in all gears, simulating extraurban use
of the vehicle; the speed varies between 0
and 120 km/h;
–Combined consumption: is calcu-
lated weighing about 37% of urban cycle
consumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.
