applicable)
The car can be fitted with a particular
type of suspension trim, able to increase
the comfort during travelling.

WINTER TYRES

Use winter tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided on the car.
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services will be
pleased to advise you on the choice of the
tyre most suited to the use the Customer
intends to make of it.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and specifications of winter tyres,
follow the instructions given in the
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
The winter features of these tyres are
reduced considerably when the tread
depths is below 4 mm. In this case they
should be replaced.
Due to the winter features, under normal
conditions of use or long motorway jour-
neys, the performance of these tyres is
lower than that of normal tyres.
It is necessary therefore to limit their use
to the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When winter tyres are
used with a maximum speed index below
the one that can be reached by the car
(increased by 5%), place a notice in the
passenger's compartment, plainly in the dri-
ver's view, which states the maximum per-
missible speed of the winter tyres (as per
CE Directive).
Fit the same type of tyre on all four wheels
(brand and profile) to ensure higher driving
safety when braking and good handling.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.
