As an alternative to the “Fix&Go
Automatic Kit” the car may be
requested with a space-saver wheel:
see the instructions on the following
pages for changing the wheel.

JACK
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1
stgear
or reverse. Wear the reflective safety
jacket (compulsory by law) before
getting out of the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull
tab A fig. 139 and lift up the mat;
❒using wrench A fig. 140 positioned in
the tool box, loosen the locking
device, take the tool box B and place
it close to the wheel to be replaced,
then take the space-saver wheel C;❒take the wrench A fig. 141 and
loosen the fixing bolts by about one
turn. For versions with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate detachment
of the rim from the wheel hub.
❒position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed. On
versions where this is fitted, be
careful not to damage the plastic
aerodynamic guard;

IN AN EMERGENCY

❒inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph
in the “Technical data” chapter. In
order to obtain a more precise
reading, check the pressure value on
pressure gauge B fig. 153 with the
compressor off;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. ten metres
in order to distribute the sealing fluid
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 an Alfa
Romeo Dealership;❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure; 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 an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
CHECKING AND
RESTORING TYRE
PRESSURE
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre
pressure.
Release quick coupling A fig. 157 and
connect it directly to the valve of the
tyre to be inflated.

IN AN EMERGENCY
WARNING
130) If the fuse blows again contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
131) Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
132) If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
133) Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key has been removed and that all the other services are
switched off and/or deactivated.

136) Remember that the brake servo
and the electromechanical power
steering will not work while
towing the car. You will therefore
need to apply more force on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
Do not use wires for towing. Do
not jerk. 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 fastened in the
housing before towing the car.137) The front and rear tow hooks
should be used only for
emergencies on the road. You are
allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an
appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the
road in readiness for towing or
transport via a tow truck. Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow
vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or
other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two
vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as
possible along the same centre
line.
