The battery is of the “Limited mainte-

nance” type: under normal conditions of use
the electrolyte does not need topping up
with distilled water.

Batteries contain harmful

substances for the envi-
ronment. To change the

battery we advise contacting Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services who
are equipped for disposal respect-
ing nature and the law.

The incorrect installation

of electric accessories may
cause seiour damage to the

car. If after buying the car you wish
to install accessories (alarm, radio,
radiotelephone, etc.) contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services who
will be able to suggest the most
suitable devices and above all ad-
vise about the need to use a more
powerful battery.

If the car is to remain in-

active for a long time in
very cold conditions, re-

move the battery and take it to a
warm place, otherwise it may
freeze.

POLLEN FILTER

This has a mechanical/electrostatic air fil-

tering action, provided that the windows and
the doors are shut.

Have the pollen filter checked once a year

by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services, prefer-
ably at the onset of summer.

If the car is mainly used in dusty or heav-

ily polluted areas, the filter should be
changed at more frequent intervals than
ìspecified in the Scheduled Maintenance Pro-
gramme.

IMPORTANT The failure to replace the

filter can considerably reduce the effective-
ness of the climate control system.

At any battery re-

moval/refitting wait for
at least 3 minutes before

starting the enigne, to allow the
climate control unit to reset the po-
sition of the electric actuators
which control the air temperature
and distribution.
