– Two or more spare wheels should never

be used together. Have the wheel changed

repaired and refitted as soon as possible.

Rims

The bolts should be tightened to a

torque of 86 Nm (8.8 kgm).

Tyres

The tyres installed on the vehicle are of

the tubeless type and do not have an in-

ner tube. To obtain the greatest degree of

comfort, safety and length of life of the

tyres, the following recommendations

should be observed.

– With new tyres do not drive at full

speed until the first 100 km have been

reached.

– Before entering a tight bend, even if

the vehicle permits it, reduce speed.

– Avoid sharp acceleration and unneces-

sary braking.

– Do not travel for long periods at sus-

tained high speed especially on rough

roads.

– Have the wheels balanced and the

front and rear axles set correctly.

– Avoid hitting the side walls of the

tyres, for example when parking.

– Never tamper with the valve on the

tyre.

– Do not insert anything between the

rim and the tyre.

– If the rim is bent, have it replaced.

– In the event of an abnormal drop in

the tyre pressure replace the wheel and

have it checked.

– When balancing the wheels use the

counterweights which are specifically de-

signed for tubeless tyres. To balance light

alloy rims only Alfa Romeo original

weights should be used.

– The tyre pressure, including that of

the spare wheel must reflect the indica-

tions given in the “Technical specifica-

tions” of this manual.

– Have the tyres checked periodically to

ensure that they are not damaged in any

way.

– Second-hand tyres of unknown origin

or over 6 years old must only be used in

emergencies and with great care.

– Inner tubes must not be fitted to

tubeless tyres.

– Avoid parking the vehicle on the edge

of a step or other irregularities in the road

surface.

– Have the tyre tread checked periodi-

cally and replace when the legal mini-

mum is reached.

IMPORTANT Some types of tyres are

fitted with wear indicators. As soon as

these wear indicators appear on the tyre

tread, the tyres must be replaced.

Periodically check that the tyres are not

showing signs of irregular tread wear. If

they are, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized

Services who will eliminate the cause of

irregular wear.

Tread wear increases the danger of

aquaplaning on wet surfaces.
