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.
