Remove the dipstick (A), clean it, put it back in completely, remove it and check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. The interval between the MIN and MAX marks correspond to about one litre of oil.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 Engine oil consumption Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km. During the initial period of use the engine settles, therefore engine oil consumption may be considered stabilised only after the first 5000 ÷ 6000 km. IMPORTANT Engine oil consumption depends on the way of driving and the conditions of use of the car. Used engine oil and filter contain harmful substances for the environment.
4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 243 ENGINE COOLANT FLUID (fig. 9) WARNING Do not remove the cap when the engine is hot: danger of burns.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 244 If the oil level in the reservoir is below the specified one, top up only with one of the products listed in the “Fluids and Lubricants” table in the “Technical Specifications” chapter proceeding as follows: – Start the engine and wait for the oil level in the reservoir to stabilise. WARNING Do not allow the power steering fluid to touch hot parts of the engine: it is inflammable.
4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 245 WARNING Brake and clutch fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of accidental contact, wash the parts concerned immediately with neutral soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. See a doctor at once if the fluid is swallowed. WARNING The π, symbol on the container indicates synthetic brake fluid, distinguishing it from the mineral kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly damages the special braking system rubber seals.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 AIR CLEANER The air cleaner is connected to the temperature and air flow sensors which send to the control unit the electric signals needed for correct operation of the injection and ignition system.

4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 247 POLLEN FILTER BATTERY This has a mechanical/electrostatic air filtering action, provided that the windows and the doors are shut. The battery is of the “Limited maintenance” type: under normal conditions of use the electrolyte does not need topping up with distilled water. Have the pollen filter checked once a year by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services, preferably at the onset of summer. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services to have the battery checked/replaced.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 248 WARNING When working on the battery or close to it, always protect the eyes with goggles. WARNING The liquid contained in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin or eyes. The battery should be charged in a well ventilated place away from naked flames or possible sources of sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 249 WARNING Never attempt to charge a frozen battery: it must firstly be thawed, otherwise it may burst. If freezing has occurred, the battery should be checked before charging by specialised personnel, to make sure that the internal elements are not damaged and that the body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 The maximum absorption of all the accessories (standard and fitted afterwards) should be 0,6 mA x Ah (of the battery), as shown in the following table: ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS With normal use of the car, no particular precautions need to be taken.

TYRE PRESSURE Check the tyre pressure of every wheel, including the spare, every two weeks and before a long journey. The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold. It is normal for the pressure to increase when the car is in use. For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical specifications” section.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 Pagina 252 The Alfa 147 uses Tubeless tyres. Never use an inner tube with these tyres. If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve. To allow even wear between the front and rear tyres it is advisable to change over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation (fig. 17).

If it is necessary to direct the jet, contact an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service. BODYWORK PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS The main causes of corrosion are: – atmospheric pollution – salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates) – seasonal environment conditions.
4-07-2008 12:05 ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK Paint The paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also protects the underlying sheet metal. In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised to have the necessary touching up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Only original products should be used for touching up paint (see “Body paint identification plate” in the “Technical Specifications” chapter).
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE 234-257_Alfa147 Q2 GB 4-07-2008 12:05 Windows Use specific products to clean the windows. Use clean cloths to avoid scratching or altering the transparency of the glass. IMPORTANT The inside of the rearscreen should be wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device. Engine compartment At the end of the winter the engine compartment should be carefully washed, without directing the jet against electronic control units.
4-07-2008 12:05 The car upholstery can resist wear resulting from the normal use of the car. However, it is necessary to avoid excessive and/or prolonged friction with clothing accessories such as metal buckles, studs, velcro and similar material, as this friction, acting locally and with a high pressure over the knitted fabric, may cause some threads to break and thus damage the seat cover/lining.
