into the power socket in the luggage
compartment or on the central tunnel and
start the engine. Put the switch 8 in the I

inflate the space-saver wheel to a
pressure of 43.5 psi (3 bar);
IMPORTANT To conserve the battery
charge, it is recommended to leave the
vehicle running for the entire inflation
process.
To obtain a more accurate reading, it is
advisable to check the pressure of the
space-saver wheel on the pressure gauge
7 with the compressor off.
The compressor was designed
exclusively for inflating the space-saverwheel. Do not use it for inflating
mattresses, rafts, etc.
operate the extension lever 2 on the
jack 4 to lower the car;

WARNING
138)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other
vehicle models. Never use it for repair
operations under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label. Never install
snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if a
front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.139)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a tyre
gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle
with which it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Any other use, e.g. to jack
up other vehicle models or different things,
is strictly prohibited. Never use for
maintenance or repair activities under the
car or to exchange the summer/winter
wheels and vice versa. Never go under the
raised vehicle. Should it be necessary to
work under the vehicle, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Incorrect positioning of
the jack may cause the raised vehicle to fall:
use only in the positions indicated. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
140)The space-saver wheel is specific for
your car. Do not use it on cars of different
models. Do not use space-saver wheels of
different models on your car. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in the
event of an emergency. Never use it for more
than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is
an orange label, summarising the main
warnings regarding space-saver wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the label. Never apply any hub cap to the
space-saver wheel.

141)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is heavily
laden. Passengers should stay away from
on-coming traffic while the wheel is being
changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the vehicle.
142)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in the
event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing in
the boot.
143)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the vehicle
next to the driving lane: make sure that the
vehicle is at a sufficient distance from the
road, to avoid being run over.
144)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is heavily
laden. Passengers should stay away from
on-coming traffic while the wheel is being
changed.
145)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.146)The spare wheel must only be used in
an emergency. Never use it for more than
strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the wheel there is an orange
sticker, summarising the main warnings
regarding wheel usage restrictions. Never
remove or cover the label. The label contains
the following indications in four languages:
"Warning! For temporary use only! 80 km/h
max! Replace with standard wheel as soon
as possible. Never cover this indication."
Never apply a wheel cap on the wheel. The
driving characteristics of the car will be
modified with the wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. Have the wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Using two
or more spare wheels at the same time is
forbidden. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could come
unscrewed.
IMPORTANT
58)When turning the jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your
hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touching
them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
59)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible to have the correct
tightening of the wheel bolts checked.
