versions together with a message on the display) (together with an
acoustic signal) if the pressure in one or more tyres drops below a

handling may be compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp braking
and steering. Replace the wheel immediately with the space-saver

immediate repair using the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in
the “In an emergency” section) and contact Alfa Romeo Authorised

possible.

show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.
