information about the assistance
request.
If the system is unable to establish the
voice call, or the line disconnects due
to insufficient coverage, the ASSIST
service will try to call the operational
centre again for certain number of times.
WARNING If you have not subscribed
to the related services or the Roadside
Assistance package has expired or is
unavailable for purchase, the ASSIST
call will not be available. For further
information visit the Alfa Romeo official
website.
WARNING If the ASSIST call system
detects a malfunction, it is indicated by a
corresponding message on the Connect
system display. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as.
If an emergency call (SOS) is active and
an ASSIST call is requested, the latter
will not be delivered.
Alfa Connect Box SYSTEM BATTERY
The Alfa Connect Box system is provided
with an independent battery that allows
the operation of some connected
services even if the car battery is
disconnected.
The system will warn the user of
the need to replace this battery by
displaying a dedicated message on
the display of the Connect system (for
versions/markets where provided) and
by means of a notification via mobile app
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Go to an Alfa Romeo dealership as soon
as possible.
NOTE: Failure to replace the battery
and, consequently, failure to observe
the warnings provided by the system
could affect or entirely prevent service
operation.
NOTE Regardless of charge, the battery
must be replaced every 5 years by an
Alfa Romeo dealership.

REPLACING A BULB

164) 165) 166) 167)
70)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of the
same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb, always
check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph "If a fuse
blows" in this chapter.
WARNING In some particular climate
conditions such as low temperature,
humidity or after washing the car, a thin
condensation layer may form on the
internal surfaces of the front and rear
headlights. This is a natural phenomenon
due to the difference in temperature
and humidity between the inside and the
outside of the transparent cover which
does not indicate a fault and does not
compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. It will disappear during
normal use.
WARNING
164) Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
165) Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
166) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
167) Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
"Replacement" paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk of
burns.
