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 the 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 an authorized dealer as soon as possible).
• Windshield washer fluid level.
• Tire inflation pressure and condition.
• Operation of the 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.

Heavy Usage Of The Vehicle
If the vehicle is used under one of the following conditions:

Dusty roads.
Short, repeated journeys less than 4 miles (7-8 km) at sub-zero outside temperatures.
The engine often idling or driving long distances at low speeds or long periods of inactivity.
In the event of a long period of inactivity.

The following checks must be carried out more often than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:

Check cleanliness of hood and trunk locks, cleanliness, and lubrication of linkage.
Visually inspect conditions of the engine, transmission, pipes, and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber elements (sleeves/bushes, etc.).
Check battery charge and battery fluid level (electrolyte).
Visually inspect the conditions of the accessory drive belts.
Check and, if necessary, change the engine oil and replace the oil filter.
Check and, if necessary, replace the cabin air filter.
Check and, if necessary, replace the air cleaner.

Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off-road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine RPMs. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
