The latest addition to the Alfa Romeo lineup in South Africa is the Tonale. This compact family crossover is packed with features and tech that will appeal to the urban fashionista as well as small families that want to travel in style.

In order to keep these tech features working optimally, the vehicle's battery has to be well-charged and in good working order, so if any of the features begin to malfunction, it may be time for a new battery.

Due to the highly complex nature of the Tonales operating system, it is not advisable for DIY enthusiasts to attempt a replacement. The user can replace the battery if the so desire, but a full diagnostic computer system is required to reset some of the systems such as ABS, TCM, EPS, CLM, and auxiliary coolant pump. We highly recommend taking your Tonale to your closest dealer to have the battery replaced.
