REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they
intervene (blow) in the event of a failure
or improper action on the system.
90) 91) 92) 93) 94) 10)
FUSE BOXES
The fuses are grouped in two fuse boxes
located in the engine and passenger
compartments.
Engine compartment junction box

WARNING

93
At the end of the operation
Proceed as follows:
❒ reposition the space-saver wheel;
❒ place the jack and the other tools in
the container;
❒ arrange the container and tools in the
luggage compartment.
95)The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your vehicle: do
not use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on
your vehicle. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in the event of an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On
the space-saver wheel there is an orange
label, summarising the main warnings
regarding space-saver 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 by standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication”.
IMPORTANT
96)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your car is
stationary in compliance with regulations.
Passengers should get out of the car,
particularly if it is heavily loaded, and
wait for the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. On hills or uneven roads,
use chocks or appropriate objects to
block the wheels of the vehicle.
97) 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 standard tyre on a
rim that is designed for use with 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 grease the threads of the stud
bolts before fitting them: they might slip
out when driving!98) 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 it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never position yourself under
a jacked vehicle. If any work under the
vehicle is necessary, contact the Alfa
Romeo Service Network. Incorrectly
positioning the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall: use it 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 tyre.
99) The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
107)
❒ engage the handbrake, unscrew the
tyre valve cap, take out filler hose
1 fig. 80 and tighten ring nut 2 on the tyre
valve;
80A0L0078
❒ make sure that switch 1 fig. 81 for the
compressor is in position 0 (off), start the
engine, insert the plug into the cigar
lighter socket on the central tunnel
(see fig. 82) and switch on the
compressor by bringing switch 1 fig. 81
to I (on);
82A0L0080
❒ inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph in the
“Technical data” chapter. In order to
obtain a precise reading, check the
pressure on pressure gauge 1 fig. 81 with
the compressor off;
❒ if after 5 minutes it is impossible to
reach at least 1.8 bar,
❒ disconnect the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the
car forwards approximately 10 metres in
order to distribute the sealant inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
❒ if you still cannot obtain a pressure of
at least 1.8 bar within 5 minutes from the
compressor switching on, do not drive off
and contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership;
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
remember to engage the handbrake;
❒ if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct pressure
(with the engine running and the
handbrake engaged), resume driving and
drive with great care to a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

CHECKING AND RESTORING TYRE
PRESSURE
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tyre
pressure.
Release quick connector 1 fig. 83 and
connect it directly to the valve of the tyre
to be inflated.
83A0L0081
REPLACING THE BOTTLE
Proceed as follows:
❒ release connector 1 fig. 84 and
disconnect tube 2;
❒ turn the bottle anticlockwise to
replace and raise it;
❒ fit the new cylinder and turn it
clockwise;
❒ insert connector 1 and tube 2 in
position.
84A0L0082
102)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).
103)A repair is not possible if the wheel
rim is damaged (groove is deformed,
causing air to escape). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
104)Give the booklet to the technicians
who will be handling the tyre that was
treated using the “Fix&Go Automatic” kit.
105)Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes.
Risk of overheating. The kit is not suitable
for definitive repairs, so the repaired
tyres may only be used temporarily.

JUMP STARTING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership immediately if the
Ywarning light stays on constantly on the
instrument panel .
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, start the engine
using an auxiliary battery with the same
capacity or a little higher than the flat
one.
111) 13)
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle:
❒ connect the positive terminals (+ sign
near the terminal) of the two batteries
with a jump lead fig. 85;
85A0L0116
106)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.
107)Wear the protective gloves
provided with the kit.
108)Apply the adhesive label where it
can be easily seen by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated
with the quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
especially on corners. Do not exceed
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking.
109)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
Automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because the tyre is
too damaged. Contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
110)Always indicate that the tyre was
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the leaflet to the personnel charged
with handling the tyre treated with the
tyre repair kit.
12)Punctures caused by foreign bodies
can be repaired if the damage does not
exceed 4 mm on the tread and on the
shoulder of the tyre. Do not use the repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
WARNING
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
