LOW TYRE
PRESSURE
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
On certain versions the display will show
a warning message + symbol (red) (and
buzzer will sound) when the pressure of
one or more tyres falls below the preset
threshold. In this way the T.P.M.S. sys-
tem warns the driver that tyre/s is/are
dangerously flat; possible puncture.
IMPORTANT Stop immediately with
one or more tyres flat, avoid braking
sharply and abrupt turns. Replace im-
mediately the punctured tyre with the
space-saver spare wheel (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) or re-
pair the puncture tyre using the proper kit
(see paragraph “If a tyre is punctured”
in section “In an emergency”) and then
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services
as soon as possible.
TYRE PRESSURE
UNSUITABLE FOR
SPEED 
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Should it be required to journey at a
speed higher than 160 km/h, inflate
tyres at full load pressures (see paragraph
“Cold inflation pressures” in section "Tech-
nical Specifications").
On certain versions, if the T.P.M.S. sys-
tem detects that the pressure of one or
more tyres is unsuitable for the current
speed the display will show a message +
symbol (amber) that will stay on until the
car speed slow downs below the preset
threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down
immediately since tyre overheating could
impair tyre performance and life beyond
repair, and even make the tyre to blow-
out.  
IMPORTANT Should you have to jour-
ney anyway a speed higher than 160
km/h, stop the car when the display
shows the warning symbol to inflate tyres
to the proper pressure values (see para-
graph "Cold inflation pressures" in section
"Technical Specifications ").
