CONVENTIONAL BATTERY
203) 204) 205) 206) 85) 8)
The conventional battery does not
require topping up the electrolyte with
distilled water.
A periodic check carried out at an
Alfa Romeo Dealership is, however,
necessary to check efficiency.
Replacing the conventional battery
If necessary, replace the conventional
battery with another original battery
with the same specifications. Follow the
conventional battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF THE CONVENTIONAL BATTERY
To avoid draining your conventional
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 ceiling lights
from remaining on inside the passenger
compartment
switch off all courtesy 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. radio,
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 conventional
battery terminal. If, after purchasing
the car, you wish to install electrical
accessories which require permanent
electrical supply (e.g. alarm, etc.)
or accessories which influence the
electrical supply requirements, contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership, whose
qualified staff will evaluate the overall
electrical consumption
WARNING After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to indicate
this. To carry out this procedure turn the
steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other or drive in a straight line for
about a hundred metres.
WARNING If the state of charge
remains under 50% for a long time, the
conventional battery is damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capability and
efficiency when starting. The battery is
also more prone to the risk of freezing
(at temperatures of −10 °C/14 °F). Refer
to the "Car inactivity" chapter this
section if the car is left parked for a long
time.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Have the system
inspected at an Alfa Romeo Dealership
before the summer.
WARNING
197) 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!
198) 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.
199) 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.
200) Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
