128)If the AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the AdBlue may decompose and
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the cap
of the AdBlue tank is unscrewed, therefore
be careful not to inhale any ammonia
vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.AdBlue® (UREA) ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
(2.2 JTD versions only)
The car is equipped with an UREA
injection system and Selective Catalytic
Reduction to meet emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system
warnings, refer to the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
89.6° F (32 °C), it has a shelf life of at
least one year.
For more information on the AdBlue®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and lubricants”
paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue® heating system when the engine
starts allowing the system to work
correctly at temperatures lower than
-11 °C.
IMPORTANT AdBlue® freezes at
temperatures lower than 12.2 °F (-11 °C).
SUGGESTIONS FOR DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Below are some suggestions which may
help you save fuel and thus lower the
amount of harmful emissions released
into the atmosphere.
Vehicle maintenance
Checks and operations should be carried
out in accordance with the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" (see chapter
"Maintenance and care").
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated rear
window, additional headlights, screen
wipers and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake increases
fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).

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.
