Risk of overheating. The Tyre Repair
Kit is not suitable for definitive repairs,
so the repaired tyres may only be used
temporarily.

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

The sealing fluid has an expiry date. Replace
the bottle if the sealant has expired.

not drive any further: the Tyre Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact a Dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
128) The Tyre 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.
129) 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"
136
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).

foreign bodies, the kit may be used to repair
tyres showing damage on the tyre tread up
to max. 6 mm diameter.
IMPORTANT
3) Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
liquid properly. Have them disposed of
in compliance with national and local
regulations.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another car, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capability equal to or a
little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
30)
WARNINGS
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the car could be damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION
POLES
To facilitate the operation, the remote
poles of the battery for the jump starting
can be found in the engine compartment:
the battery, on the other hand, is placed
in the luggage compartment.
To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect the
auxiliary battery to the remote poles of
the flat battery.
Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different
sheath colours (red = positive, black =
negative).
The negative terminal (-) fig. 132 is
located next to the right bonnet catch.
