IMPORTANT
Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy con-
ditions:
– trailer or caravan towing
– dusty roads
– short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external temperatures
below zero
– frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving or in case of a
long term inactivity
replace engine oil more frequently than
required on Service Schedule.IMPORTANT
Diesel filter
The different grades of purity in diesel
fuel normally available might make it nec-
essary to replace the filter more frequent-
ly than indicated in the Service Schedule.
If the engine misfires it shows the filter
needs changing.IMPORTANT
Air cleaner
Using the car on dusty roads change the
air cleaner more frequently than specified
in the Schedule Maintenance Programme.
For any doubts concerning the intervals
between the engine oil and air cleaner
replacement in relation to how the vehicle
is used, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(JTD16Vversions)
DRAINING CONDENSATION
WATER
The presence of water in
the supply circuit may
cause serious damage to
the entire injection system and
cause irregular running of the
engine. If the
cwarning light
turns on together with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multi-
function display, contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services as
soon as possible to have the sys-
tem relieved.
AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is connected to the tem-
perature and air flow sensors which send
to the control unit the electric signals
needed for correct operation of the injec-
tion and ignition system.
It must therefore always be in perfect
conditions, to ensure correct operation of
the engine, low consumption and exhaust
emission levels.
If the operations con-
cerning cleaner replace-
ment described below are
not carried out correctly and with
the due precautions, they may
compromise the travelling safety
of the vehicle. You are recom-
mended to have this operation
carried out by Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
If the car is habitually
used in dusty areas, the
cleaner should be replaced
at shorter intervals than those
specified in the Programmed
Maintenance Schedule.
Any attempt to clean the
cleaner may damage it,
leading to serious engine
damage.
