Lifting The Vehicle; Wheels And Tyres - Alfa Romeo Giulia 952 2017 Owner's Handbook Manual

77) It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by an Alfa Romeo Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
small servicing interventions personally on
the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts and
the necessary fluids. Do not carry out any
interventions if you don't have the necessary
experience.
78) When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. In order to
avoid possible accidental closure, it is
recommended to place an obstacle (e.g. a
cloth) on the lock that would physically avoid
closure.
79) Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are flammable
and may explode, with the risk of injuries. The
use of non-approved coolants or lubricants
may adversely affect system efficiency,
leading to expensive repairs.
80) The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid injuries
to people or damage to the system, any
coolant addition or repair that requires to
disconnect the cables must be carried out by
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

WHEELS AND TYRES

SAFETY INFORMATION
Before embarking on a long trip, and
every two weeks, check the tyre inflation
pressure. Check the tyres when cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the vehicle is used due to tyre
heating; for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see the "Rims and Tyres"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wear fig. 258:

1 - normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
2 - low pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
3 - high pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread reaches the minimum thickness
reference on the tyres themselves.
