WARNING
177) Punctures on the sides of the tyre may
not be repaired. Do not use the Tyre Repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
178) Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Tyre Repair kit.
179) Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the Tyre
Repair Kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking.

180) You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Tyre Repair Kit. Give
the booklet to the technicians who will be
handling the tyre that was treated using the
Tyre Repair Kit.
181) Repairs are not possible in the case
of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
182) Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes.
Risk of overheating. The Tyre Repair
Kit is not suitable for definitive repairs,
so the repaired tyres may only be used
temporarily.
183) As required by current regulations,
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
08066S0009EM
safety and the effectiveness of the product.
Remember to carefully read the label before
use; the user of the product is responsible
for any damages caused by improper use.
The sealing fluid has an expiry date. Replace
the bottle if the sealant has expired.
184) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the Tyre Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
185) 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.
186) 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"
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).
IMPORTANT
73) In the event of a puncture caused by
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.
