VERSION WITH LPGSYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel supply
systems: one for petrol and one for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY/ACTIVE SAFETY
Although the LPG system has numerous
safety features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the vehicle is not in
use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident:
unscrew the fixing devices 1 fig. 34,
then remove the cover 2;
Close the LPG cock rotating the ring 1
fig. 35clockwise.
refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.
LPG TANK
The car has a (pressurised) tank A for
storing LPG in a liquid state. It is toroidal
and is located in the spare wheel
compartment with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration and
the testing/inspection procedures of the
LPG tank can vary depending on the
national provisions in force in that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the
tank replaced.

alert any bystander that the vehicle is
about to be raised; all persons should be
kept away from the vehicle and nobody
must touch it until it has been lowered;
fit handle 2 fig. 92 into the housing in
device 1, operate the jack and raise the
vehicle until the wheel is a few
centimetres from the ground;
35)
for versions with wheel cap, remove
the wheel cap after loosening the
4 fastening bolts and finally loosen the
fifth bolt and remove the wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between space-saver wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
fit the space-saver wheel by inserting
the first bolt for two threads into the hole
closest to the valve;
take the wrench 1 fig. 90 and fully
tighten the fixing bolts;
operate the jack handle 2 fig. 92 to
lower the car. Then extract the jack;
use the wrench 1 fig. 90 provided to
fully tighten the bolts in a criss-cross
fashion as per the numerical sequence
illustrated in fig. 94;
when replacing an alloy wheel it is
advisable to place it upside down, with
the aesthetic part facing upwards.
Restore the standard wheel as soon as
possible, because, once placed in the
associated compartment, the luggage
compartment load platform is rendered
uneven as the standard wheel is larger
than the spare wheel.
36)
REMOVING THE SUBWOOFER (versions
with Bose HI-FI)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT The following procedure
only applies to cars equipped with Bose
Hi-Fi systems with subwoofer (for
versions/markets, where provided).
Subwoofer and space-saver spare wheel
On these versions, the tools needed for
changing the wheel are arranged in a
specific container on the left-hand side of
the luggage compartment (see fig. 95 ).
The jack is stored in a pocket also on the
left-hand side of the luggage
compartment.
Proceed as follows to remove the
subwoofer:
open the luggage compartment, lift
the mat using the tab provided and
remove the load compartment spacer;

117)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used
as a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Using two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
118)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other
vehicle models. Never use it for repair
operations under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label. Never install
snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if a
front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
119)Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may
cause it to fall off when the car is in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Regularly check the inflation pressure
of the tyres and space-saver wheel (see
chapter "Technical specifications").120)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a tyre
gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle
with which it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Any other use, e.g. to jack
up other vehicle models or different things,
is strictly prohibited. Never use for
maintenance or repair activities under the
car or to exchange the summer/winter
wheels and vice versa. Never go under the
raised vehicle. Should it be necessary to
work under the vehicle, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Incorrect positioning of
the jack may cause the raised vehicle to fall:
use only in the positions indicated. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
IMPORTANT
35)When turning the jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your
hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touching
them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible to have the correct
tightening of the wheel bolts checked.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can carry out the procedure safely.
The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
Insert the cartridge 1 containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of the
compressor 2, pressing it down hard
fig. 98. Remove the speed limit sticker
3 and apply it in a clearly visible position
fig. 99;
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 4
fig. 98. If a 250 ml cartridge is present
the housing of the transparent tube is
provided with removable ring to facilitate
extraction. Make sure that the ON-OFF
button 5 fig. 101 is in the off position
(button not pressed);
plug the electric connector 6
fig. 100 into the 12V socket of the
vehicle and start the vehicle engine;
operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button 5 fig. 101. When the
pressure shown in the "Wheels"
paragraph in the “Technical data” chapter
or on the specific label appears on the
pressure gauge 7, stop the compressor
by pressing the ON-OFF button 5 again;
disconnect the cartridge 1 from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button 8 and lifting the cartridge
1 upwards fig. 102.
If the pressure gauge 7 fig. 101 indicates
a pressure lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi
15 minutes after starting the
compressor, switch off the compressor,
disconnect the sealing fluid tube 4 from
the tyre valve and remove the cartridge
1 from the compressor fig. 102.

(*) Where fitted
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck that the
value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the prescribed pressure for standard tyres.
When running at speeds higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures.
