MAINTENANCE

PRECAUTIONS

Many moving parts, high voltage cables

and parts that reach high temperatures

which may cause serious injury to unquali-

fied persons are located in the engine

compartment.

The following precautions should there-

fore be taken:

– Switch off the engine and wait until

it cools.

– Be particularly cautious when work-

ing near the engine cooling fan as this

may cut in unexpectedly on the basis of

the engine coolant temperature.

– Do not smoke or use naked flame.

– Always keep a fire extinguisher to

hand.

– Do not use the jack supplied with the

car for checking underneath it.

Vehicle maintenance

should be entrusted to

an Alfa Romeo Author-

ized Service. For interventions of

routine maintenance and small

repairs you wish to carry out

your-self, make sure you always

have the proper equipment, gen-

uine Alfa Romeo spare parts and

the necessary liquids; do not,

however, carry out these opera-

tions if you have no experience.

The jack with which the

vehicle is fitted must on-

ly be used when changing a wheel.

All other operations where the ve-

hicle must be lifted require the use

of specific procedures and should

be carried out by Alfa Romeo Au-

thorized Services.

WARNING

Ensure that scarves, ties

and loose clothing cannot

get caught by moving parts.

WARNING

DANGER-SERIOUS INJU-

RY. When carrying out

checks or maintenance operations

in the engine compartment, take

special care not to bump the head

on the raised bonnet.

WARNING

Never smoke when

working in the engine

compartment: inflammable gas and

vapours may be present which con-

stitute a fire hazard.
