RECHARGING THE
BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
To carry out this operation contact the
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery, make sure that the ignition key
is in the STOP position and the driver
side door is closed.
We advise you to use a battery charger
with rated recharging voltage of 12 V
and maximum current 15 A, for a
period from 12–24 hours. Charging for
a longer time may damage the battery.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the negative battery
terminal;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
RAISING THE CAR
If raising the car is necessary, contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership, who
will be equipped with suitable arm or
workshop lifts, in addition to the
specific equipment necessary.
It is however possible to use suitable
lowered hydraulic jacks to raise the car
if necessary.
The car lifting points are marked on the
side skirts with the
symbols (see
points illustrated in fig. 117 ).
The correct support points for raising
the front and rear part of the car are
illustrated in fig. 118and fig. 119.
IMPORTANT When positioning the car
on the arm lift, remember that the
power unit is located at the rear end,
with consequent impact on weight
distribution. Therefore, the shorter arms
must support the rear end, and the
longer arms support the front end.

IMPORTANT
19)Be careful to position the lift arms
correctly at the points illustrated, in order to
prevent damage to the carbon fibre chassis
and the bodywork components.
20)To avoid damage to the carbon fibre
chassis, the car cannot be raised with
standard hydraulic jacks, only with suitable
lowered hydraulic jacks. Contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
TOWING THE CAR
21)
The tow hook provided with the car is
located in the tool box in the luggage
compartment.
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Take tow hook A and tighten it fully onto
the threaded pin fig. 120.
115) 116) 117)
IMPORTANT
21)The tow hook attachment is only
available at the front end of the car.
WARNING
115)Before towing, turn the key to MAR
and then to STOP without extracting it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
transmission is in neutral (N)
116)When towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo is absent.
Consequently, more force is required at the
pedal in order to brake. Do not use flexible
cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. Make sure not to damage
parts in contact with the car while towing.
When towing the vehicle, you must comply
with all specific traffic regulations and
adopt an appropriate driving behaviour. Do
not start the engine while towing the car.
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully screwed into the
housing before towing the car.
117)The tow hook must be used
exclusively for roadside assistance
operations. You are allowed to tow the
vehicle for short distances using an
appropriate device in accordance with the
highway code (a rigid bar), to move the
vehicle on the road in readiness for towing
or transport via a tow truck. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the
road or where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.
