Scheduled Servicing; Periodic Checks; Heavy Usage Of The Vehicle - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2024 Owner's Manual

Correct servicing maintains the performance of the
vehicle over time, as well as limits running costs and
safeguards the efficiency of the safety systems.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a long life
for the vehicle under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned a series of
checks and services for your vehicle at fixed intervals
based on distance and time, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, follow the instructions in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level
of fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an authorized dealer
according to a set time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with the owner's explicit consent only.
NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing intervals are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may
invalidate the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Inform an authorized dealer of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next service.
