2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Steering

RUN FLAT TYRES
(where provided)
157) 158) 159)
"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
157)Do not exceed the maximum distance
or speed (80 km - 80 km/h) in the event of
pressure loss-puncture.
158)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.
159)Do not exceed 60 km/h when driving
with an especially heavy trailer.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or a
little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
61)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could break
and explode!
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION
POLES
To facilitate the operation, the remote
poles of the battery for the jump starting
can be found in the engine compartment:
the battery, on the other hand, is placed
in the luggage compartment.
The negative terminal (-) fig. 166 is
positioned next to the right bonnet lock.You can access the positive terminal (+)
by lifting the protective flap fig. 167.
The pole is shown in fig. 168.

take the tow hook from its housing in
the boot and carefully clean the threaded
housing on the vehicle before using it;
tighten the vehicle's tow hook in its
place for about 11 turns.
IMPORTANT The largest work angle of
the cable to fix on the tow hook must not
exceed 15°, as shown in fig. 171.
WARNING
163)Move the ignition device to ON and
then to STOP, without opening the door.
164)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. While towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, you must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the vehicle. Before tightening
the ring, clean the threaded housing
thoroughly. Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before towing the
car.

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.
