WARNING
2) If the ignition device has beentampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by
the dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership before driving again.
3) Always remove the key when you leave your car to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the
controls. Remember to engage
the handbrake. Never leave
children unattended in the car. 4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the
car with type-approval
requirements.
5) Never extract the key while the car is moving. The steering wheel
would automatically lock as soon
as it is turned. This also applies
to cases in which the car is towed.
SEATSADJUSTMENTS
Lengthwise adjustment
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Lift lever A fig. 10 and push the seat
forwards or backwards: in the driving
position your arms should rest on
the rim of the steering wheel.
6) 7)
Alfa Romeo’s advice: the seat must be
adjusted so that the entire sole of the
foot presses on the brake pedal when it
is fully depressed; at the same time,
your right leg must be bent slightly. In
this way, in the event of emergency, the
driver can generate sufficient force to
achieve adequate pressure on the
brake pedal. Moreover, this reduces the
risk of leg injuries in the event of an
accident.10

28) Avoid washing with water cannons, rollers and/or brushes in
washing stations. Then, wash
the car, only by hand, using
pH-neutral detergents; dry it with
a wet chamois leather.
INTERIORS
132) 133)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, also to
prevent damage to carbon parts.
To remove and reposition the mats in
the passenger compartment, proceed
as follows:
❒undo the screws with folding ring A
fig. 123, driver side and passenger
side;
❒ separate the Velcro fabric strips B in
the front area under the mats, lifting
them from the floor.
Reposition the mats on the floor,
making sure that the holes at the back
of the mats coincide with the screw
housings on the floor.
To reposition, proceed as follows: ❒
tighten the screws with folding ring A
fig. 123 in the housings on the floor;
❒ unite the Velcro fabric strips of the
mats with those on the floor, taking
care to apply light pressure and
ensure that the fastening is efficient.

SEATS AND FABRIC OR
MICROFIBRE PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. For better cleaning of
microfibre trim (including the steering
wheel, for versions/markets, where
provided) we advise you to moisten the
brush. Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois
or slightly damp cloth, without exerting
too much pressure. Remove any liquid
or grease stains using an absorbent
dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean
with a soft cloth or chamois moistened
with water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
