2016 Alfa Romeo 4C key

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 steeringwheel 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.
WARNING
9)All adjustments must be carried out only
with the car stationary and engine off.
10)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 the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.

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.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS

remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
restored (even after restarting that car with
the key), contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
13)Do not operate the screen wiper with
the blades lifted from the windscreen.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows the
desired car speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal. This device can be used at a
speed above 30 km/h on long stretches
of dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.
Activation
Turn ring nut A fig. 24 to.
The device cannot be engaged in 1st or
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 5th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed
the stored speed.When the device is activated, the
digital warning light switches on
together with the relevant message on
the display.
Storing speed
Proceed as follows:turn ring nut A fig. 24 toand
press the accelerator to reach the
desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the car
speed is now stored and you can
therefore release the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you
release the pedal, the car goes back to
the speed stored previously.
Restoring speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by pressing the brake pedal,
the stored speed can be restored as
follows:
accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
press the CANCEL/RESUME button
