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
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. 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 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.
IMPORTANT If the battery was
disconnected, do not start the engine
immediately after reconnecting the
terminals, but press the start button,
without operating the pedals, to turn on
the instrument panel and then start the
engine.
The
symbol on the instrument panel
will remain on, indicating that the
steering must be initialised. To do this,
turn the steering wheel from one end to
the other and bring it back to the centre
position within 30 seconds from starting
the engine. If any red warning lights on
the instrument panel remain lit, stop the
engine, wait for at least 5 seconds and
repeat the starting procedure described
above.
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 (at temperatures as high as 14°F
(-10°C)).

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.
Replacing the battery
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
Manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
IMPORTANT It will not be possible to
open the boot with a key or by pressing
the button in the passenger
compartment when the battery is
disconnected. So, always extract the
manual boot opening strap before
disconnecting the battery. The procedure
is described in the "Prolonged vehicle
inactivity" paragraph in this chapter.
WARNING
159)
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
160)
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.
161)
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!
