– if in 5 minutes a pressure of at least
1.5 bars is not obtained, disengage the
compressor from the valve and the socket;
then move the car forwards by about 10
metres to distribute the sealer inside the
tyre and repeat the inflating procedure;
– if, also in this case, in 5 minutes from
the compressor turning on a pressure of at
least 1.8 bars is not obtained, do not trav-
el any further: the quick repairing kit can-
not guarantee proper hold because the
tyre is too much damaged. Contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services;
– once the correct tyre pressure has
been reached, start driving immediately;
