sible sources of sparks near to the
battery: risk of fire and explosion.
Incorrect fitting of electri-
cal accessories can serious-
ly damage the car. If after

electric accessories (alarm, sound
system, radiotelephone, etc.) con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices who will be able to suggest
the most suitable devices and
above all advise about the need to
use a more powerful battery.
If the car is to remain sta-
tionary for a long time in
very cold weather, remove
the battery and take it to a warm
place, otherwise it might freeze.

When doing any work on
the battery or near it,
always wear special protective
goggles.
WARNING
Working with a low fluid
level may damage the bat-
tery irreversibly, even causing it to
burst.
