Lifting The Vehicle; Wheels And Tyres - Alfa Romeo STELVIO Owner's Handbook Manual

88) 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.
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.

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.
(see 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. 312:

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.
