(4) 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 any cases, never exceed 1 year.
(5) The replacement must be performed according to mileage and regards of the elapsed time. The following are vital in order to ensure correct operation and prevent
serious damage to the engine: - only use spark plugs specifically certified for the engine itself of the same type and brand (see the "Engine" paragraphin the "Technical
specifications" chapter); - strictly comply with the spark plug replacement intervals in the Scheduled Servicing Plan. It is advisable to contact a reference Dealership for
plug replacement. (3) The maximum mileage is 36,000 mi (60,000 km). The belt must be replaced every 4 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions
(dusty areas, especially severe weather conditions, very low or very high temperatures for extended periods, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum
mileage is 18.000 mi (30.000 km). The belt must be replaced every 2 years regardless of the mileage
(6) If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner should be replaced every 9,000 miles (15,000 km).
(7) The brake fluid replacement has to be done every two years, irrespective of the mileage.

IMPORTANT
Make
sure
not
to
add
too

much
engine
oil
when
topping
up.
Engine

oil
in
excess
may
damage
the
engine.

Have
the
car
checked.
Never
exceed
the

MAX
level
when
topping
up
engine
oil.
It
is advisable to check the oil level in
intermediate steps on the display.
IMPORTANT The oil level is not refreshed
immediately on the display after topping
up. Consequently, wait for the oil level to
be refreshed on the display following to
procedure shown below.
Top-up and oil level indication update
on display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as follows
to ensure correct indication of the oil
level on the display:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
with the vehicle level, run the engine
for approximately 5 minutes
(temperature higher than 176°F (80°C)
and then stop the engine;
start the engine again and idle it for
about 2 minutes.
2.2 JTD Engine
with the car level, run the engine until
the second oil temperature notch lights
up on the display on the instrument panel,
then stop the engine;
wait for at least 3 minutes, turn the
ignition switch to ON without starting the
engine and wait for 20 seconds.
IMPORTANT If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.IMPORTANT The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the
symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an Alfa
Romeo dealership.
Engine oil consumption
68)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.88 lb (400 grams every
620 miles (1000 km). When the car is
new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
first 3100 - 3700 miles (5000 -
6000 km).

SERVICING AND CARE

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
159)
69)
If the level is too low, unscrew the
reservoir cap and add the fluid described
in the "Technical Specifications" chapter.
On the 2.0 T4 MAir engine version with
right-hand drive, remove the shield 6
fig. 154 to check the fluid level in the
primary reservoir. To do this, release the
fixing clip 7 and lift upwards.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/
HEADLIGHTS
160) 161)
The windscreen and headlights washer
fluid reservoir (where provided) is
equipped with a telescopic filler. If the
level is too low, lift the reservoir cap 4
fig. 155 upwards and then lift the filler,
as shown in the figure, and add the fluiddescribed in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter. After having
topped up the fluid, arrange the filler
correctly and then press on the cap until
you hear it click.
IMPORTANT With a low fluid level
(indicated by the dedicated symbol
appearing on the instrument panel
display), the headlight washer system
does not work, even though the screen
washers continue to work.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
5)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
BATTERY
162) 163) 164) 165)
70)
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.
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
15409026S0007EM
15509086S0666EM
171

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. Connect
system, 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
cable from the negative battery terminal.
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 (already at 14 °F / -10°C).
WARNING
156)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
157)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.158)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!
159)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.
160)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.
161)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
162)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.
163)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
164)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature, remove
the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
165)When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes
with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
65)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 vehicle.
66)The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
67)If the MAX mark is exceeded (last notch
on the right turns red) after the top-up, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the oil in excess removed.
68)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
69)Use a fluid of the same type as that
already present in the reservoir for any
topping up of the engine cooling system. The
fluid cannot be mixed with other types of
antifreeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
70)When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. Open the
boot manually if it is locked.
