WARNING
47)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the spare
wheel.
48)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed value,
but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
49)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the system will no longer be
available and, in addition to the TPMS
warning light flashing for less than one
minute before becoming constant, a warning
message will be shown on the display, until
4 wheels with sensors are fitted again.
50)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.
51)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres (and vice versa) requires TPMS
adjustment that must only be performed by
a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
52)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The TPMS
system may temporarily indicate
insufficient pressure. In this case, check the
tyre pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.53)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Tyre and/or rim fitting/removal operations
require specific precautions; to avoid
damaging or fitting the sensors incorrectly,
tyre and/or rim fitting/removal operations
should only be carried out by specialised
staff. Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
54)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
radio-frequency interference ceases to
affect the system.
55)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not equivalent
with that in the original kit may adversely
affect its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one are used, it is
recommended to have the TPMS sensors
checked by a qualified repair centre.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
56) 57) 58)
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to an
impact. This allows the belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body of the
occupant. In the event of an accident, the
belt will lock reducing the risk of impact
inside the passenger compartment and
of being projected outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local laws
in force in relation to the use of the seat
belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
Using the seat belts
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the safety belts, hold the
tongue 1 fig. 43 and insert it into the
buckle 2, until it clicks into place. If the
seat belt jams during removal, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out

immediately cut-off, the LPG safety
valves are closed and the injection is

WARNING
126)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do not
reactivate the system to avoid the risk of
fire.
