Alfa Romeo’s advice: the backrest must
provide the driver with appropriate
support and lateral containment on
bends. To guarantee correct support,
the backrest must be adjusted so that it
is almost vertical, and the backrest
supports the entire torso.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
In order to achieve the ideal driving
position, the height of the seats can
also be adjusted. Workshop equipment

contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.Alfa Romeo’s advice: the seat must be
adjusted to the lowest possible
position, in order to achieve optimum
perception of the car’s movement
and awareness when driving.
The height of the seat must always take
the driver’s stature into account: the
optimal awareness attainable through a
low driving position must never
compromise external visibility from
inside the car. Should it be necessary, it
is advisable to adjust first the height of
the seat, before concentrating, in the
following order, on lengthwise
adjustment, backrest angle adjustment
and finally steering wheel position
adjustment.
WARNING
6) All adjustments must be made
solely with the car stationary.
7) After releasing the adjustment lever, always check that the seat
is locked on the guides by trying
to move it back and forth. Failure
to lock the seat in place could
result in the seat moving suddenly
and the driver losing control of
the car. 8) For maximum protection, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and
pelvis.
IMPORTANT
2) The fabric upholstery for the seatshas been designed to withstand
long-term wear deriving from
normal use of the car.
Nevertheless, some precautions
are required. Avoid prolonged
and/or excessive rubbing
involving clothing accessories
such as metal buckles, bosses,
Velcro strips and the like, which,
by applying a high pressure on the
fabric in a limited area, could
cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.
