151

make sure that switch 5 fig. 142 of
the compressor is in position O (OFF);
insert the plug into the socket on the
central tunnel, start the engine;
start the compressor, placing the
switch 5 fig. 142 to position I (ON);
inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Rims and Tyres”
paragraph (see “Technical data” chapter).
In order to obtain a more precise reading,check the pressure value on pressure
gauge 6 fig. 142 with the compressor off;
if after 15 minutes pressure is not at
least 26 psi (1.8 bar), disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
socket, then move the car forwards
approx. five wheel turns 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 26 psi (1.8 bar) within
15 minutes from the compressor
switching on, do not drive off and 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 pressure is less than 26 psi
(1.8 bar), do not go back into gear but see
an Alfa Romeo dealer;
if a pressure value of at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake), resume driving
immediately and drive with great care to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
SEALANT BOTTLE REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT Only use original cartridges,
which can be purchased at an Alfa Romeo
dealership.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the tank 1 fig. 143 pressingthe unhooking button 9;
insert the new tank pressing it
downwards hard.
WARNING
138)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.

IN AN EMERGENCY

142)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.
143)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.
144)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.
145)If the pressure falls below 1.8 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.
146)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.147)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
62)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.
RUN FLAT TYRES
(where provided)
148) 149) 150)
"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
148)Do not exceed the maximum distance
or speed (80 km - 80 km/h) in the event of
pressure loss-puncture.
149)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.
150)Do not exceed 60 km/h when driving
with an especially heavy trailer.
153

EMERGENCY 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.
63)
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. 144 fig. 8 is
positioned next to the right bonnet lock.The positive pole (+) can be accessed by
removing the cover fig. 145
open protective flap fig. 146.The pole is shown in fig. 147.
To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect the
auxiliary battery to the remote poles of
the flat battery. Usually, these cables
have terminals at the ends and are
identified by different sheath colours
(red = positive, black = negative).

IN AN EMERGENCY

JUMP STARTING
151) 152) 153)
Proceed as follows:
switch off all electrical devices in the
vehicle;
engage the parking brake, move the
lever to P (Park), for versions equipped
with automatic transmission, or neutral,
for versions with manual gearbox, then
set the ignition device to STOP;
should you be using the battery of
another vehicle, park the other vehicle
within the range of the cables used for
the connection, operate the parking
brake and ensure that its ignition is off.
IMPORTANT If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, check that
there is no accidental contact of metal
parts between the two vehicles, since an
earth connection may result, with the risk
of serious injury to any people who may
be nearby.
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the instructions
given below.
Cable connection
64)
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting:
connect a terminal on the end of the
positive cable from the remote positive
pole (+) of the car with flat battery;
connect the terminal on the opposite
end of the positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) pole of the auxiliary battery;
connect a negative cable end terminal
to the negative (-) pole of the auxiliary
battery;
connect the terminal on the opposite
end of the negative (-) cable to the earth
point (-) on the vehicle with the battery
flat;
start the engine of the car with an
auxiliary battery, let it run for some
minutes at idle and then start the engine
of the car with flat battery. In case a
portable battery is used, before starting
the vehicle, wait a few seconds after
completing the connection.
Cable disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence,
as shown below:
disconnect the negative cable end
terminal (-) from the earth point (-) of the
car with flat battery;
disconnect the terminal on the
opposite end of the negative cable fromthe negative (-) pole of the auxiliary
battery;
disconnect the terminal on the
opposite end of the positive (+) cable
from the positive (+) pole of the auxiliary
battery;
disconnect the terminal on the end of
the positive cable from the remote
positive pole (+) of the car with flat
battery.
WARNING
151)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.
152)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
153)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or devices
which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
63)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.
155

64)Do not connect the cable to the negative
terminal (–) of the flat battery. The following
spark could lead to battery explosion and
cause serious harm. Only use the specific
earth point; do not use any other exposed
metallic part.FUEL CUT-OFFSYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a system
that cuts off the fuel supply in the event
of an impact, causing the engine to stop.
This safety device is controlled by the
ORC control unit, which manages all the
occupant protection systems. Depending
on the type and violence of the impact,
this control unit determines whether or
not to activate the airbags and the front
seatbelt pretensioners and whether or
not to immediately interrupt the current
from the batteries to the supply pumps
and to the devices that make the engine
operate. The power from the battery is
interrupted by "skipping" the pyrotechnic
fuse placed on the fusebox next to the
positive pole of the battery.
When the fuse is "skipped", only some
services, necessary for the safety of the
vehicle (eg: door locks, anti-theft device,
etc.), remain powered.
IMPORTANT After the impact, carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
IMPORTANT Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system checked.

IN AN EMERGENCY

BROKEN-DOWN VEHICLE
TOWING
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (RWD) VERSIONS
It is recommended to tow the vehicle
with all four wheels lifted from the
ground on the platform of a roadside
assistance vehicle.
If a breakdown truck with platform is not
available, the vehicle must be towed with
the rear wheels LIFTED from the ground
(using a trailer or special equipment
allowing lifting of the rear wheels).
IMPORTANT Towing vehicles without
complying with the above mentioned
prescriptions can cause serious damage
to the vehicle.FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) VERSIONS
It is recommended to tow the vehicle
with all four wheels lifted from the
ground on the platform of a roadside
assistance vehicle.
IMPORTANT Avoid lifting the front (or
rear) wheels only, using a trailer or
vehicle that allows lifting the wheels of
one axle only. Lifting the front (or rear)
wheels only while towing might damage
the transmission or the transfer unit.
IMPORTANT If a vehicle is towed without
complying with the above requirements,
the transmission and/or the transfer unit
might be seriously damaged. Damage due
to incorrect towing is not covered by
warranty.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
154) 155)
In order to be able to tow the vehicle,
which has been in an accident or has
broken down, on the road surface and
only for short distances, a tow hook is
provided in the tools container inside the
boot.
Proceed as follows to use the tow hook:
unhook the cap fig. 148 on the front or
rear fender (where provided) fig. 148,
pressing on the upper part;
14808136S0001EM
157

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. 150.
WARNING
154)Move the ignition device to ON and
then to STOP, without opening the door.
155)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. During 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 car. Before tightening the
ring, clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully screwed into
the housing before towing the car.
