make sure the contact surfaces between space-saver wheel and hub
are clean so that the fastening bolts will not come loose;

fit the space-saver spare wheel by inserting the first bolt for two
threads into the hole closest to the valve;
❒
take the wrench A fig. 117 and fully tighten the fixing bolts;
❒
operate the jack handle D fig. 118 to lower the vehicle. Then extract
the jack;
❒
use the wrench A fig. 117 provided to fully tighten the bolts in a

❒
when replacing an alloy wheel it is advisable to place it upside
down, with the aesthetic part facing upwards.
Visit Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible to
check the correct tightening of the main wheel bolts.
Restore the standard wheel as soon as possible, because, once placed
in the associated compartment, the luggage compartment load
platform is rendered uneven as the standard wheel is larger than the
space-saver wheel.
