To replace the bulbs of the main beam
headlights/dipped headlights contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership
WARNING
129)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
130)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
131)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
132)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure that
the engine is cold, to prevent the risk of
burns.
IMPORTANT
59)Halogen bulbs must be handled 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 event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.

142)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
143)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of
overheating. The Tire Repair Kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs, so the
repaired tyres may only be used temporarily.
144)As required by current regulations, the
information on chemical substances for the
protection of human health and the
environment and on the safe use of the
sealing fluid are on the packaging label.
Compliance with the indications on the label
is an essential condition to ensure the safety
and the effectiveness of the product.
Remember to carefully read the label before
use; the user of the product is responsible
for any damages caused by improper use.
The sealing fluid has an expiry date. Replace
the bottle if the sealant has expired.
145)If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the Tire Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
146)The Tire Repair Kit provide a
temporary repair, therefore the tyre must be
examined and repaired by a specialist as
soon as possible. The sealant is suitable for
use at temperatures in the range from −40°C
to +50°C.147)Indicate the presence of the stationary
car in accordance with current regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Those on board should get out of the vehicle
and wait for the wheel to be repaired away
from the threat posed by the traffic. If
parked on a slope or rough surface, chock
the wheels with wedges or other suitable
devices (for the correct procedure for
parking the car safely, refer to the "Parking"
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).
IMPORTANT
62)In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to repair
tyres showing damage on the tyre tread up
to max. 6mm diameter.
IMPORTANT
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
liquid properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
RUN FLAT TYRES
(where provided)
148) 149) 150)
"Run Flat" tyres allow you to maintain
control of the car after a puncture and to
continue driving safely for about 50 mi
(80 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
The reinforced tyre wall retains its shape
and supports the weight of the car in the
event of pressure loss.
Cars equipped with Run Flat tyres are
NOT provided with Tire Repair Kits. For
repair, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible.
WARNING
148)Do not exceed the maximum distance
or speed (80 km - 80 km/h) in the event of
pressure loss-puncture.
149)A pressure loss alters the driving
behaviour of the car, for example, causing
less directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and altered
steering geometry. Therefore, adjust your
driving style to avoid sudden turns or
obstacles such as pavements and potholes.
150)Do not exceed 60 km/h when driving
with an especially heavy trailer.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and maintenance
operations at fixed distance intervals
and, for versions/markets, where
provided, at fixed time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an Alfa
Romeo Dealership according to a set
time schedule. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit consent only.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
operations are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every year or620miles (1,000km) or
before long journeys, check and top up, if
necessary:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
Alfa Romeo dealership as soon as
possible);
low AdBlue diesel emissions additive
(UREA) level warning (2.2 JTD versions
only);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights,
direction
indicators,
hazard

warning
lights,
etc.);
operation
of
screen
washing/wiping

system
and
positioning/wear
