2013 Alfa Romeo 4C automatic transmission fluid

DRIVING MODES
Lever A is monostable type. In other
words, it always remains in a central
position.
The selected driving mode is indicated
by the corresponding LED switching
on in the panel and by an indication on
the display.
“Natural” MODE
ESC and ASR systems:intervention
thresholds aimed at providing comfort
and safety in normal grip and driving
conditions.
"Electronic Q2" system: the system
is calibrated to ensure the best driving
comfort.
Engine and gearbox/transmission:
standard response. “Dynamic” MODE
Activation
Move the lever A fig. 47 upwards (to the
letter “d”) and hold in this position for
half a second, until the corresponding
LED lights up and the "Dynamic" mode
activation indicator appears on the
display.
When "Dynamic" mode is activated, the
turbocharger pressure (bar) and engine
oil temperature (°C) screen is displayed
automatically fig. 49:
When released, lever A will return to the
central position.
ESC and ASR systems:
intervention
thresholds that ensure more enjoyable,
sportier driving whilst guaranteeing
the stability of the car. "Electronic Q2" system:
the system
is calibrated to increase traction whilst
accelerating on bends, improving
the agility of the car.
Engine and gearbox/transmission:
adoption of sports mapping.
IMPORTANT In "Dynamic", the
sensitivity of the accelerator pedal
increases considerably. Consequently,
driving is less fluid and comfortable.
Deactivation
To deactivate “Dynamic” mode and
return to “Natural”, move lever A fig. 47
downwards (to letter “a”) and keep it
in this position for half a second. In this
case, the LED corresponding to
“Natural” mode will light up and the
“Natural” mode activation indication will
appear on the display.

Activation
Move the lever A fig. 47 upwards (to the
letter “d”) and hold in this position for
5 seconds, until the "Race" mode
activation indicator appears on the
display. When "Race" mode is
activated, the longitudinal/lateral
accelerometer indicator screen
(G-meter information) is displayed
automatically. This considers
gravitational acceleration (G) fig. 50.
ESC and ASR systems:the systems
are deactivated in order to ensure
the fullest sensation of sport, leaving
the driver in full control of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is in unstable
conditions, the ESC reactivates
automatically when the brake pedal is
pressed until the ABS intervenes,
thus returning the vehicle to stable
conditions. "Electronic Q2" system:
the system
is calibrated to increase traction whilst
accelerating on bends, improving
the agility of the car.
Engine and gearbox/transmission:
adoption of sports mapping.
IMPORTANT In "Race", the sensitivity of
the accelerator pedal increases
considerably. Consequently, driving is
less fluid and comfortable.
IMPORTANT In "Race" mode the
transmission only works in MANUAL
mode. For further details, refer to the
"Using the transmission" section in
chapter "Starting and driving".
Deactivation
To deactivate "Race" mode and return
to "Dynamic", move lever A fig. 47
downwards (to letter “a”) and keep it in
this position for half a second. In this
case, the LED corresponding to
"Dynamic" mode will light up and the
"Dynamic" mode activation indication
will appear on the display. “All Weather” MODE
Activation
Move the lever A fig. 47 downwards (to
the letter “a”) and hold in this position
for half a second, until the
corresponding LED lights up and the
“All Weather” mode activation indicator
appears on the display.
ESC and ASR systems:
intervention
thresholds aimed at ensuring maximum
safety in low-grip driving conditions. It
is advisable to select "All Weather"
mode in the presence of low-grip road
surfaces.
"ELECTRONIC Q2" SYSTEM: the
system is deactivated.
Engine and gearbox/transmission:
standard response.50
