CHANGING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the "Tire Repair
Kit": see the “Tire Repair Kit” paragraph
for how to use this device.
As an alternative to the “Tire Repair Kit”,
the car may be requested with a
space-saver wheel: see the instructions
on the following pages for changing the
wheel.
JACK
138) 139)
Please note that:
the jack weighs about 4.4 lb (2 kg);
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Jack maintenance:
prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
never modify the jack.
Conditions in which not to use the jack:
temperatures below −40°F (-40°C);
on sandy or muddy ground;
on uneven ground;
on steep slopes in extreme weather
conditions: thunderstorms, typhoons,hurricanes, blizzards, storms, etc.;
in direct contact with the engine or for
repairs under the car;
on boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
140) 141) 142) 143) 144) 145) 146)
58) 59)
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely.
The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
engage P (Park) mode;
wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out of
the car;
open the luggage compartment and lift
up the mat using the handle;
when the situation dictates it (for your
own safety and to comply with the
regulations in force in the country where
you are), take the warning triangle and
position it at a suitable distance from the
car;
unscrew the locking device 1 fig. 157,
take out the space-saver wheel and the
inflation compressor;
157

141)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is heavily
laden. Passengers should stay away from
on-coming traffic while the wheel is being
changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the vehicle.
142)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in the
event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing in
the boot.
143)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the vehicle
next to the driving lane: make sure that the
vehicle is at a sufficient distance from the
road, to avoid being run over.
144)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is heavily
laden. Passengers should stay away from
on-coming traffic while the wheel is being
changed.
145)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.146)The spare wheel must only be used in
an emergency. Never use it for more than
strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the wheel there is an orange
sticker, summarising the main warnings
regarding wheel usage restrictions. Never
remove or cover the label. The label contains
the following indications in four languages:
"Warning! For temporary use only! 80 km/h
max! Replace with standard wheel as soon
as possible. Never cover this indication."
Never apply a wheel cap on the wheel. The
driving characteristics of the car will be
modified with the wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. Have the wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Using two
or more spare wheels at the same time is
forbidden. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could come
unscrewed.
IMPORTANT
58)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.
59)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible to have the correct
tightening of the wheel bolts checked.

compressor off;

if a pressure of at least 26 psi (1.8 bar)
is not reached within 15 minutes, the tyre
is too damaged to be repaired. Do not
continue driving, but contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership;
after having driven for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric parking
brake and recheck the tyre pressure;
if the measured pressure is unchanged
(32 psi (2.2 bar)), continue driving to an
Alfa Romeo Dealership;
if the measured pressure is between
19 and 30.5 psi (1.3 and 2.1 bar), restore
pressure to 32 psi (2.2 bar), continue
driving to an Alfa Romeo Dealership;
if the measured pressure is lower than
19 psi (1.3 bar), the tyre is too damaged
to be repaired. Do not continue driving,
but contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT Only use original tyre repair
cannisters, which can be purchased at an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT To conserve the battery
charge, it is recommended to leave the
vehicle running for the entire inflation
process.
WARNING
147)Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the Tire Repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
148)Always wear protective gloves before
proceeding with the operation.
149)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the Tire
Repair Kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking.
150)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Tire Repair Kit.
151)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.
152)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.
153)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 cannister 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.154)If the pressure falls below 1.3 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.
155)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.
156)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
60)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.

IN AN EMERGENCY

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.

do not keep accessories (e.g. Connect
system, hazard warning lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
cable from the negative battery terminal.
If, after purchasing the car, you wish to
install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership, whose qualified staff will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption.
IMPORTANT If the battery was
disconnected, do not start the engine
immediately after reconnecting the
terminals, but press the start button,
without operating the pedals, to turn on
the instrument panel and then start the
engine.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery is
damaged by sulphation, reducing its
capacity and efficiency at start-up. The
battery is also more prone to the risk of
freezing (already at 14 °F / -10°C).
Replacing the battery
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the samespecifications. Follow the battery
Manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
WARNING
165)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
166)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Do not get too close to
the radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may
start; danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
167)If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (where provided). WARNING:
risk of burns!
168)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
169)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
170)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.171)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
172)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
173)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature, remove
the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
174)When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes
with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
63)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are not
compatible with each other! Topping up with
an unsuitable fluid could severely damage
your vehicle.
64)The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
65)If the MAX mark is exceeded (last notch
on the right turns red) after the top-up, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the oil in excess removed.
66)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
67)Use a fluid of the same type as that
already present in the reservoir for any
topping up of the engine cooling system. The
fluid cannot be mixed with other types of
antifreeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
