In The Event Of A Puncture; Starting By Inertia - Alfa Romeo 147 Owner's Manual

STARTING BY INERTIA

Never push, tow or coast
start the car. This could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalyst damaging it irreversibly
WARNING
Remember that the engine
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
is started, therefore, much greater
effort than usual is needed on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.

IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE

IMPORTANT If the car is equipped
with "Kit for tyre quick repair Fix&Go",
see the instructions contained in the fol-
lowing chapter.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and compact spare wheel (for ver-
sions/markets where applicable) call for
some precautions as listed below.
WARNING
Signal the presence of the
stationary car according
to current regulations: hazard
warning lights, reflecting triangle
etc..
Any passengers should leave the
car and wait for the wheel to be
changed out of harm of the traf-
fic.
If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices
to prevent the car from rolling.
WARNING
Never start the engine
with the car jacked. When
driving with a trailer, disconnect
the trailer before raising the car.
The compact spare wheel is specif-
ic to your car, do not use it on
other models, or use the spare
wheel of other models on your
cars.
Should the type of wheels used
be changed (alloy rims instead of
steel), it is also necessary to
change the whole set of fastening
bolts with others of suitable size.
The compact spare wheel is nar-
rower than normal wheels, it
should be used only for the dis-
tance necessary to reach a ser-
vice point to have the punctured
tyre repaired and during its use,
the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.
