GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

WARNING
46) The presence of the TPMS does
not permit the driver to neglect
regular checks of the tyre
pressure, including for the spare
wheel.
47) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres rested and cold. Should
it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher
than the prescribed value. Repeat
the check when the tyres are
cold.
48) Should one or more wheels be
fitted without sensors, the system
will no longer be available and,
in addition to the TPMS warning
light flashing for less than one
minute before becoming constant,
a warning message will be shown
on the display, until 4 wheels
with sensors are fitted again.49) The TPMS cannot warn of
sudden decreases in tyre pressure
(for example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
50) Replacing standard tyres with
winter tyres (and vice versa)
requires TPMS adjustment that
must only be performed by a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
51) Changes in outside temperature
may cause tyre pressures to vary.
The TPMS system may
temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the
tyre pressure when cold and, if
necessary, restore the inflation
values.
52) When a tyre is removed, it is
advisable to replace the rubber
valve seal as well: contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Tyre and/or rim fitting/removal
operations require specific
precautions; to avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly,
tyre and/or rim fitting/removal
operations should only be carried
out by specialised staff. Contact
a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.53) Strong radio-frequency
interference could inhibit the
regular operation of the TPMS.
This condition will be indicated by
a message on the display. The
message will disappear
automatically as soon as the
radio-frequency interference
ceases to affect the system.
54) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the car (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensors checked
by a qualified repair centre.
