2013 Alfa Romeo MiTo sensor

Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors,
the system will no longer be available and a warning
message will be shown on the display, until 4 wheels
with sensors are fitted again.The TPMS cannot warn of sudden decreases in tyre
pressure (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case,
stop the car, braking with caution and avoiding
abrupt steering.Replacing standard tyres with winter tyres and vice
versa requires TPMS system adjustment that must only
be performed by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.Variations in outside temperature may cause tyre
pressures to vary. The TPMS may temporarily indicate
insufficient pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary, restore the inflation values.
When a tyre is removed, it is advisable to replace the
rubber valve seal as well: contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services. Tyre and rim fitting/removal
operations require specific precautions; to avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and wheel fitting/removal
operations should only be carried out by specialised staff.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.Intense radio-frequency interference may prevent the
correct operation of the TPMS. This condition will be
indicated by a message on the display. The message
will disappear automatically as soon as the interference ceases to
affect the system.

Closure
Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more. Then turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little
breathing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Also, keep your face away from
this fuel inlet to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol fuel engine
emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and evaporation control
system
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions: oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust gas recirculation
system (EGR) and particulate filter (DPF).DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a mechanical filter, fitted in the exhaust system, which almost
completely eliminates carbon particle emissions.
The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach
very high temperatures during operation. Therefore
do not park the car on flammable materials (grass, dry
leaves, pine needles etc.): fire hazard.

❒connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, observing the
polarity;
❒turn on the battery charger;
❒when it is recharged, turn the charger off before disconnecting it
from the battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery terminal.
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop SYSTEMCharge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A fig. 155 (pressing the button B) from the
sensor C monitoring the battery conditions, on the negative pole D
of the battery;
❒connect the positive cable (+) of the battery charger to the battery
positive pole (+);
❒connect the negative cable (+) of the battery charger to the post D of
the battery negative pole (-);
❒turn on the battery charger;
❒when it is recharged, turn the charger off before disconnecting it
from the battery;
❒reconnect the connector A to the sensor C of the battery.
