STEERING LOCK

it locks.
Deactivation

turn the ignition key to MAR-ON.
4) 5)
WARNING
2) If the ignition device has been
tampered 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.
SEATS
ADJUSTMENTS
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.

Backrest angle
adjustment
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Lift lever B fig. 11 and adjust the
backrest angle at the same time.
The backrest angle can be adjusted in
3 positions because of special sports
configuration.
6) 8)2)
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.Height adjustment
(for versions/markets, where provided)
In order to achieve the ideal driving
position, the height of the seats can
also be adjusted. Workshop equipment
is required to make this adjustment:
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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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.

IMPORTANT
13) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre. Do not use the repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a
result of being used when
underinflated.
IMPORTANT
2) Dispose of the bottle and the
sealant properly. Dispose of the
components in compliance with
national and local regulations.
