CHECKING AND RESTORING TYRE
PRESSURE
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tyre
pressure.
Proceed as follows:
Release quick connector 8 fig. 232 and
connect it directly to the valve of the tyre
to be inflated.
Press air release button 7.
SEALANT BOTTLE REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT Only use original cartridges,
which can be purchased at an Alfa Romeo
dealership.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the tank 1 fig. 233 pressing
the unhooking button 9;
insert the new tank pressing it
downwards hard.
WARNING
140) Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the Tire Repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
141) Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Tire Repair kit.
142) Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the Tire
Repair Kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking.
143) You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Tire Repair Kit. Give
the booklet to the technicians who will be
handling the tyre that was treated using the
Tire Repair Kit.
144) Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
145) Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of
overheating. The Tire Repair Kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs, so the
repaired tyres may only be used temporarily.
146) As required by current regulations, the
information on chemical substances for the
protection of human health and the
environment and on the safe use of the
sealing fluid are on the packaging label.
Compliance with the indications on the label
is an essential condition to ensure the safety
and the effectiveness of the product.
Remember to carefully read the label before
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.
147) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the Tire Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
148) The Tire 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.
149) 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).
