Raising The Car - Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA Owner's Handbook Manual

engine, the transmission or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the car's warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
40) An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging
to the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
41) Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously compromising
the engine performance, which would
be irreparably damaged. If the engine
does not work correctly, especially if it
starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to
a Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Prolonged and faulty operation of the
engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the vehicle.
42) Using transmission fluid different from
that approved may compromise the quality
of gear changes and/or cause vibration of
the transmission.
43) It is recommended to have the car
serviced by a Dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership. When carrying out normal
periodic operations and small servicing
interventions personally on the vehicle, it is
recommended to use suitable equipment,
genuine spare parts and the necessary
fluids. Do not carry out any interventions if
you do not have the necessary experience.
44) When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. In order
to avoid possible accidental closure, it is
recommended to place an obstacle (e.g.
a cloth) on the lock that would physically
avoid closure.
45) Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the car. Some
non-approved coolants are flammable and
may explode, with the risk of injuries. The
use of non-approved coolants or lubricants
may adversely affect system efficiency,
leading to expensive repairs.
46) The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid
injuries to people or damage to the system,
any coolant addition or repair that requires
to disconnect the cables must be carried out
by a Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
