WHEELS AND TYRES
180) 181) 182)
Before embarking on a long trip, and
every two weeks, check the tyre inflation
pressure. Check the tyres when cold.
SNOW CHAINS
76)
Rear Wheel Drive and All-wheel drive
versions
It is possible to fit 0.5 in (13 mm) chains
on all the tyres except for R20.
Important notes
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of each
country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
therefore their use is equivalent to that
of the snow chains.
IMPORTANT The snow chains may be
applied only to the rear wheel tyres.
Installing them on the rear wheel tyres
could damage the suspension and
transmission.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and
rear axle may adversely affect car
driveability, with the risk of losing control
of the car and resulting accidents.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE ROTATION
OF THE TYRES
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time (6200 /
9300 miles (10000 / 15000 km)).
Inverting the tyres means moving them
to different positions on the same side of
the car (front to back and vice versa).
IMPORTANT Crossing the tyres is not
advised, so placing a tyre on a different
axle on the other side of the car is
impossible.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the car.In the case of irregular wear of the tyres
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
WARNING
180)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation pressure
of the tyres.
181)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
182)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
IMPORTANT
76)Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h (or the
equivalent in miles). Avoid potholes, do not
drive over steps or pavements and do not
drive long distances over roads without
snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle
and the road surface.

SERVICING AND CARE
BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paintwork
77)7)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Some parts of the car may be covered
with a matt paint which, in order to be
maintained intact, requires special care:
see the instructions in the warning at the
end of this paragraph.
78)
To correctly wash the vehicle, follow
these instructions:
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at least
16 in [40 cm] away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
water could cause damage to the car in
the long term;
to make it easier to remove any dirt
deposits in the area where the blades are
normally located it is recommended to
position the windscreen wipers vertically
(service position), for more information
consult the “Maintenance procedures”
paragraph in this chapter.If you want to wash a car with automatic
transmission in a car wash that moves it,
you must do the following:
make sure that the car is on a flat
surface and that automatic engagement
of the parking brake when the engine is
switched off is disabled (for how to
disable it, refer to the “Electric parking
brake” section in the “Starting and
driving” chapter);
with the car stationary, the gear in N
(Neutral) and the brake pedal up: press
the start button. The car will remain in N
(Neutral) for 15 minutes, after which P
(Park) mode will be activated.
IMPORTANT
77)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.78)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the car
only by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry
it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be used
for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not use
pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning
the front windscreen and rear window; dilute
it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.

WARNING
183)If winter tyres with a lower speed rating than that indicated in the Registration Document are used, do not exceed the maximum speed
corresponding to the speed rating of the tyres used.
IMPORTANT
79)Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or sidewalks and do not
drive long distances over roads without snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle and the road surface.
