Move the vehicle by approximately 10 m
to promote the distribution of sealant;
stop the vehicle safely, operate the
handbrake and restore pressure using
the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 103 to
reach the required pressure. Also in this
case, if the pressure is lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi within 15 minutes from the
compressor switching on, do not resume
driving but contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the car in a safe and suitable
area and engage the handbrake. Take the
compressor and restore pressure using
the black inflation tube 9 fig. 103.
If the pressure shown is higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure and
drive safely to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible.If the pressure is lower than 1.8 bar /
26 psi, do not resume driving but contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE

IN AN EMERGENCY

134)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
135)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
136)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
137)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental contact,
immediately wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse thoroughly.
Call a doctor immediately if swallowed.
138)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
IMPORTANT
3)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters, we
advise you to contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
4)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the

BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only. To
carry out this operation contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver's side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting and then
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery.
Charging should be slow at a low ampere
rating for approximately 24 hours.
Charging for a longer time may damage
the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the electrical
system must be correctly reconnected to
the battery, i.e. the positive cable (+) to
the positive terminal and the negative
cable (–) to the negative terminal. The
battery terminals are marked with the
positive (+) and negative (–) symbols, and
are shown on the battery cover. The
battery terminals must also be
corrosion-free and firmly secured to the
terminals. If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted on
the vehicle, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.The cables of the electrical system must
be correctly reconnected to the battery,
i.e. the positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to the
negative terminal. The battery terminals
are marked with the positive (+) and
negative (–) symbols, and are shown on
the battery cover. The battery terminals
must also be corrosion-free and firmly
secured to the terminals.
