with the car stationary and engine stopped.
15)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS and also
result in the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS

61)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the system will no longer be
available and a warning message will be
shown on the display, until wheels with
sensors are fitted again.
62)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
63)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.
64)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed by
Alfa Romeo Dealerships.
65)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff. Contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT
19)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
20)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with adhesives,
auxiliary headlights or any other object.21)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
22)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front geometry,
tyre change, or a heavier load than the
standard load of the vehicle.
23)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership for any operation of this
type.
24)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of a
sensor failure, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
25)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical connector.
26)Be careful in the case of repairs and new
paintings in the area around the sensor
(panel covering the sensor on the left side of
the bumper). In the event of a frontal impact
the sensor may automatically deactivate
and display a warning to indicate that the
sensor needs to be repaired. Even without a
malfunction warning, deactivate the system
operation if you think that the position of the
radar sensor has changed (e.g. due to
low-speed frontal impact as during parking
manoeuvres). In these cases, go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the radar sensor
realigned or replaced.27)When towing a trailer, a vehicle or during
loading manoeuvres on a vehicle transporter
(or in vehicle for transport), the system must
be deactivated via the Connect system.
28)The Tire Repair Kit, provided with the
vehicle, is compatible with the TPMS
sensors. Using sealants different from that
in the original kit may compromise its
operation. If sealants not equivalent with the
original ones are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation checked by
a qualified repair centre.

WARNING
133)Never replace a fuse with another with
a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
134)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition device is at STOP and that
all devices are switched off and/or
disconnected.
135)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership if a
safety system (airbags, brakes),
transmission system (engine, gearbox) or
steering system general protection fuse
blows.
136)If a fuse blows again, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
137)If a general protective fuse
(MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE)
blows, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT
56)Never replace a fuse with metal wires or
anything else.
57)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box and the window wiper motors
with the water jet.
