122) Always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the quick
tyre repair kit. Give the booklet to
the technicians who will be
handling the tyre that was treated
using the kit.
123) 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.
124) Do not operate the compressor
for longer than 20 minutes
consecutively. Risk of
overheating. The kit is not suitable
for definitive repairs, so the
repaired tyres may only be used
temporarily.125) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol and latex: it may cause
an allergic reaction. It is harmful if
swallowed. It is irritant for the
eyes. 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 proper compartment,
away from sources of heat. The
sealant fluid has an expiry date.
Replace the bottle containing
out-of-date sealant fluid.
CHANGING A BULB
28)126) 127) 128)
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this
chapter.

IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
IMPORTANT
28) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part
of the bulb with your fingers may
reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. In the case
of accidental contact, rub the
lamp with a cloth and spirit and
leave to dry.
WARNING
126) Changes or repairs to the
electrical system carried out
incorrectly and without due
consideration for the technical
specifications of the system may
lead to malfunctioning and
generate a fire hazard.
127) Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If they break,
glass fragments could fly
everywhere.
128) Due to the high supply voltage,
gas discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon)
should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of
death! Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
