Wheel And Wheel Trim Care - Alfa Romeo 4C spider User Manual

Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is properly
installed to the vehicle. Inflate the collapsible tire
using the electric air pump before lowering the ve-
hicle.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a
conventional tire on the collapsible spare wheel,
since the wheel is designed specifically for the col-
lapsible spare tire.
WARNING!
Compact and Collapsible spares are for tempo-
rary emergency use only. With these spares, do
not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Tempo-
rary use spares have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be
sure to follow the warnings, which apply to your
spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.
Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use
only. This tire may look like the originally equipped
tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is
not. This spare tire may have limited tread life. When
the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
temporary use full size spare tire needs to be re-
placed. Since it is not the same as your original
equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equip-
ment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first
opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency
use only. This tire is identified by a label located on
the limited use spare wheel. This label contains the
driving limitations for this spare. This tire may look
like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle
of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited
use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not
the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or
repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on
the vehicle at the first opportunity.

Limited use spares are for emergency use only.
Installation of this limited use spare tire affects

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care

All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and
chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly
using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water to maintain
their luster and to prevent corrosion. Wash wheels
with the same soap solution recommended for the
body of the vehicle.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration caused
by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, cal-
cium chloride, etc., and other road chemicals used to
melt ice or control dust on dirt roads. Use a soft cloth
or sponge and mild soap to wipe away promptly. Do
not use harsh chemicals or a stiff brush. They can
damage the wheel's protective coating that helps
keep them from corroding and tarnishing.
