ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after purchasing the car, you decide
to install electrical accessories that
require a permanent electric supply
(radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden
the electric supply, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo, will also
check whether the car's electrical
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
58)
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices
installed after buying the car in the
context of after-sales service must carry
the following label:fig. 88Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
authorises the installation of transceiver
devices on condition that such
installations are carried out in
a workmanlike fashion, following the
manufacturer’s instructions, at a
specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either
directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not
be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not
supplied or recommended by Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the
provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.IMPORTANT The use of these devices
inside the passenger compartment
(without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle’s electronic systems to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers' health.
As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.
WARNING
58) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers or non-standard alloy
wheels: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency in sharp,
repeated braking or on long
descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats,
etc.).

always protect your eyes with
special goggles.
IMPORTANT
36) Incorrect assembly of electrical
and electronic accessories may
cause severe damage to your car.
Go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
if you want to install accessories
(e.g. anti-theft, radio phone, etc.):
they will suggest the most
suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT
5) Batteries contain substances
which are very dangerous for the
environment. For battery
replacement, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Before embarking on a long trip, and
every two weeks, check the tyre
inflation pressure. Check the tyres when
cold.
150) 151) 152) 153)
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the car is used; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in
the “Technical specifications” chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 189:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly
worn in the centre.The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
Take the following precautions to
prevent damage to the tyres:
❒avoid violent impact against the kerb,
potholes or obstacles as well as
driving for extended periods on
uneven road surfaces;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side walls, abnormal
swelling or irregular tread wear;
❒avoid travelling with the car
overloaded. If a tyre is punctured,
stop immediately and change it;
❒tyres age even if they are not used a
great deal. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years;
❒in case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve.
