consequence, possible damage to the
converter and the car.
86) Using transmission fluid different from
that approved may compromise the quality
of gear changes and/or cause vibration of
the transmission.
87) It is recommended to have the car
serviced by an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
When carrying out normal periodic
operations and small servicing interventions
personally on the car, it is recommended
to use suitable equipment, genuine spare
parts and the necessary fluids. Do not carry
out any interventions if you do not have the
necessary experience.
88) When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. Open the
boot manually if it is locked.
89) Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the car. 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.
90) 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.

Rear Wheel Drive and All-wheel drive
versions
0.28 inch (7 mm) snow chains can be used
on all tyres. For tyres up to 8.86 in (225
mm in width (225/55 R16, 225/50 R17,
225/45 R18), it is also possible to install
0.35 in (9 mm) chains.
Quadrifoglio version
09056S0001EM
It is possible to put chains on the rear
265/35 R19 tyre (winter tyre size).
Avoid using traditional chains as
they can damage the braking system
if not installed correctly, thereby
compromising the car's safety.
We strongly advise using zero-clearance
chains and to use equipment proposed
by the Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Important notes
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
