insert the plug into the socket on the
central tunnel, start the engine;
start the compressor, placing the
switch 5 fig. 154 to position I (ON);
inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the "Rims and Tyres"
paragraph (see "Technical data" chapter).
In order to obtain a more precise reading,
check the pressure value on pressure
gauge 6 fig. 154 with the compressor off;
if after 15 minutes pressure is not at
least 1.8 bar (26 psi), disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
socket, then move the vehicle forwards
approx. five tyre turns in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
if you still cannot obtain a pressure of
08066S0004EM
at least 1,8 bar (26 psi) within
15 minutes from the compressor
switching on, do not drive off and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership;
after having driven for about 5 mph
(8 km), stop, engage the electric parking
brake and recheck the tyre pressure;
if the pressure is less than 1.8 bar
(26 psi), do not go back into gear but see
an Alfa Romeo dealer;
if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
(26 psi) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake), resume driving
08066S0005EM
immediately and drive with great care to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
