use; the user of the product is responsible
for any damages caused by improper use.
The sealing fluid has an expiry date. Replace
the bottle if the sealant has expired.
186) If the pressure falls below 1.3 bar, do
not drive any further: the Tyre Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
187) The Tyre Repair Kit provide a
temporary repair, therefore the tyre must
be examined and repaired by a specialist as
soon as possible. The sealant is suitable
for use at temperatures in the range from
−40°C to +50°C.
188) 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 vehicle
and wait for the wheel to be repaired away
from the threat posed by the traffic. If
parked on a slope or rough surface, chock
the wheels with wedges or other suitable
devices (for the correct procedure for
parking the car safely, refer to the "Parking"
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).
189) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the Tyre Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
72) In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to repair
tyres showing damage on the tyre tread up
to max. 6 mm diameter.
IMPORTANT
3) Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
liquid properly. Have them disposed of
in compliance with national and local
regulations.
RUN FLAT TYRES
(where provided)
190) 191) 192)
"Run Flat" tyres allow you to maintain
control of the car after a puncture and
to continue driving safely for about 50
miles (80 km) at a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
The reinforced tyre wall retains its shape
and supports the weight of the car in the
event of pressure loss.
Cars equipped with Run Flat tyres are
NOT provided with Tyre Repair Kits. For
repair, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible.
WARNING
190) Do not exceed the maximum distance
or speed (80 km - 80 km/h) in the event of
pressure loss-puncture.
191) A pressure loss alters the driving
behaviour of the car, for example, causing
less directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and altered
steering geometry. Therefore, adjust your
driving style to avoid sudden turns or
obstacles such as pavements and potholes.
192) Do not exceed 60 km/h when driving
with an especially heavy trailer.
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another car, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or a
little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
73)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the car could be damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
