the aesthetic part facing upwards.
WARNING
170) 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.
171) 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.
172) The space-saver spare 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.
173) 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.
174) 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.
175) It is extremely dangerous to attempt to
change a wheel on the side of the car next to
the driving lane: make sure that the car is at
a sufficient distance from the road, to avoid
being run over.
176) 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
car, especially if it is heavily laden, and wait
for the wheel to be replaced away from the
threat posed by the traffic.
177) 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.
178) 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
