2015 Alfa Romeo 4C clock

IMPORTANT
2) The fabric upholstery for the seats
has 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.
STEERING WHEEL
Adjustment
It can be adjusted axially and vertically.
To adjust, release lever A fig. 12,
pushing it forwards (position 1). Having
made the adjustment, lock lever A by
pulling it towards the steering wheel
(position 2).
9) 10)
Alfa Romeo’s advice: after lengthwise
seat adjustment and backrest angle
adjustment, the steering wheel can be
adjusted. To check that the steering
wheel position is correct, the left arm
must be extended completely, so that it
touches (without gripping) the highest
part of the steering wheel rim with
the wrist. At the same time, the driver’s
shoulders must remain firmly in contact
with the backrest. In this position,
when you grip the rim of the steering
wheel in "9:15" position (i.e. with hands
corresponding to the hands of a clock
at 9 hours and 15 minutes, imagining
that the wheel is a clock face) there
should be an angle of 90 degrees
between upper arm and forearm. This
permits maximum control of the
steering wheel and ensures that it is
used as a precision instrument and not
as a handgrip on bends. This is also
the most ergonomically correct driving
position, thus permitting minimum
fatigue when driving.

It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are two people on
board, to prevent the windows from
misting.
IMPORTANT The internal air
recirculation system makes it possible
to reach the required heating or
ventilation conditions more quickly. Do
not use the internal air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days to avoid the
possibility of the windows misting.

3)
IMPORTANT
3) The system uses R-1234yf
coolant which does not pollute the
environment in the event of
accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances should you use
R-134a fluid which, in addition to
being incompatible with the
system’s components, contributes
greatly to the greenhouse effect.
