the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership to
have it replaced.

CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELYAlfa Romeo 4C is a sporty car that can
be driven in town every day, provided
its driver and passengers fasten their
seat belts. Carrying a child on the
passenger's seat is also allowed,
provided the child weighs more than 9
kg and a suitable child restraint system
is used.
Children must be suitably restrained
inside the vehicle according to their
weight. Several child restraint system
types are available; always choose the
one most suitable for the child:
70)
When over 1.50 m in height, from
the point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
have to wear the standard seat belts.
All child restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the seat which must never be removed.
Child restraint systems are available
from Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo. These
products have been designed and
tested specifically for Alfa Romeo
vehicles.

WARNING
92) Indicate the presence of thestationary car in accordance with
current regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle,
etc. Those on board should get
out of the vehicle and wait for the
wheel to be repaired away from
the threat posed by the traffic.
If parked on a slope or rough
surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices
(for the correct procedure for
parking the car safely, refer to the
"Parking" paragraph in the
"Starting and driving" chapter).
93) Give the booklet to the technicians who will be handling
the tyre that was treated using
the "Fix&Go automatic" kit.
94) A repair is not possible if the wheel rim is damaged (groove
is deformed, causing air to
escape). Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre. 95) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating. The
kit is not suitable for definitive
repairs, so the repaired tyres may
only be used temporarily.
96) The bottle contains ethylene glycol and latex: it may cause
an allergic reaction. It is harmful if
swallowed. Eye irritant. It may
cause sensitisation if inhaled or
on contact. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin and clothes. In the
event of contact, rinse
immediately with plenty of water.
If ingested, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep out of the reach of children.
The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in its special
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
97) Wear the protective gloves provided with the kit. 98) Apply the adhesive label where it
can be easily seen by the driver as
a reminder that the tyre has been
treated with the quick repair kit.
Drive carefully, especially on
corners. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking.
99) If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, do not drive any further:
the Fix&Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too
damaged. Contact a dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
100) Always indicate that the tyre was repaired using the quick
tyre repair kit. Give the booklet to
the personnel charged with
handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
