SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and services for your
vehicle at fixed intervals based on
distance and time, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an
authorized dealer according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner’s explicit consent only.
Note:
Scheduled Servicing intervals are
required by the manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
You are advised to inform your
authorized dealer of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
Periodic Checks
Every month or every
600
miles (
1,000
km) or before long trips check and, if necessary, top off:
Engine coolant level.
Brake fluid level (if insufficient, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible).
Windshield washer fluid level.
Tire inflation pressure and condition.
Operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.).
Operation of windshield washing/wiping system and positioning/wear of wiper blades.
Every
2,000
miles (
3,000
km), check and top off if required:
Engine oil level.
