WARNING The snow chains may be
applied only to the rear wheel tyres.
Installing them on the rear wheel tyres
could damage the suspension and
transmission.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
WARNING Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.
WARNING Using different size or
type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between
front and rear axle may adversely
affect car driveability, with the risk of
losing control of the car and resulting
accidents.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE ROTATION
OF THE TYRES
The front and rear tyres are subject
to different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should
be rotated at the appropriate time
(6200 / 9300 miles / 10000 / 15000 km).
Inverting the tyres means moving them
to different positions on the same side of
the car (front to back and vice versa).
WARNING Crossing the tyres is not
advised, so placing a tyre on a different
axle on the other side of the car is
impossible.
WARNING On cars equipped with
differentiated tyres (tyre size different
between front and rear axles, ex. QV
version) rotation of any of the tyres is
not advised.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
WARNING
213) The road holding qualities of the
car also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
214) If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
215) Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C. The
mechanical features of the wheels could be
compromised.
IMPORTANT
88) Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h (or
the equivalent in miles). Avoid potholes, do
not drive over steps or pavements and do
not drive long distances over roads without
snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle
and the road surface.
BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paintwork
89) 7)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Some parts of the car may be covered
with a matt paint which, in order to be
maintained intact, requires special care:
see the instructions in the warning at the
end of this paragraph.
90)
To correctly wash the vehicle, follow
these instructions:
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at least
16 in (40 cm) away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
