make sure that the switch for the
compressor is in position 0 (off), start the
engine, open the rear hatch and insert the
plug in the into the luggage compartment
power socket or on central tunnel and
start the engine. Switch on the
compressor by turning the switch to
position I (on);
inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical data" chapter;
if after five minutes pressure is not at
least 1.8 bar/26 psi, turn off the the
compressor and disconnect it from the
valve and power socket, replace the cap,
then move the vehicle forwards by
approx. ten metres in order to distribute
the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly;
Stop the vehicle safely and repeat the
operation above until the required
pressure is reached;
if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar/26 psi after
5 minutes from switching on the
compressor, THE TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED TO BE REPAIRED. Remove
and place the kit in the specific
compartment and contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
place the vehicle in a safe and suitable
A0K0518C
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick up
the kit, ensure the on-off button is in 0
position, insert the electrical connector in
the vehicle 12V socket. Remove the cap
from the valve of repaired tyre,
disconnect and pull out the black inflation
tube, connect it to the valve and lock it
with the lever. Check the tyre pressure on
the pressure gauge.
if the pressure indicated is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED.
Remove and place the kit in the specific
compartment and contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership;
if the pressure indicated is equal to or
higher than 1.8 bar/26 psi, switch on the
compressor and inflate to the required
pressure. Disconnect and replace the kit
in the specific compartment. Drive
carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as possible.
