2016 Alfa Romeo 4C clock

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.

turn knob D to.
This air distribution allows the
passenger compartment to be heated
quickly.
Then operate the controls to maintain
the desired comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, it
takes a few minutes to achieve
optimum passenger compartment
heating.
FAST DEMISTING /
DEFROSTING OF
WINDSCREEN AND SIDE
WINDOWS
Proceed as follows:turn knob A to the red section;
turn knob C to 4 (maximum fan
speed);
turn knob D to;
bring cursor B to.
After demisting/defrosting, operate the
controls as normal to restore the
required comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT The climate control
system is very useful for speeding up
and maintaining demisting since it
dehumidifies the air. Adjust the controlsas described previously and switch on
the climate control system by pressing
button E.
Window demisting
In the event of considerable external
moisture and/or rain and/or large
differences in temperature inside and
outside the passenger compartment,
perform the following preventive
window demisting procedure:
bring cursor B to;
turn knob A to the red section;
turn knob C to 2 (intermediate fan
speed);
turn knob D towith the
possibility of moving it to position
if
window misting does not occur.
VENTILATION
To ventilate the passenger
compartment properly, proceed as
follows:
fully open the air diffusers and vents;
turn knob A to the blue section;
bring cursor B to;
turn knob C to the desired speed;
turn knob D to;
INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Bring cursor B to.
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent theintroduction 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.
CLIMATE CONTROL
(cooling)
Proceed as follows:turn knob A to the blue section;
turn knob C to 1 (1st fan speed). For
rapid cooling, turn knob C to 4
(maximum fan speed).
bring cursor B to;
turn knob D to;
press button E.
Cooling adjustment
Proceed as follows:bring cursor B to;
turn knob A toward the red section
to increase the temperature;
turn knob C anticlockwise to reduce
the fan speed.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph in
the “Technical data” chapter. In order to
obtain a more precise reading, check
the pressure value on pressure gauge B
fig. 85 with the compressor off;
if after 5 minutes it is impossible to
reach at least 1.8 bar, disconnect the
compressor from the valve and powersocket, then move the car forwards
approximately 10 metres in order to
distribute the sealant inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
if you still cannot obtain a pressure of
at least 1.8 bar within 5 minutes from
the compressor switching on, do not
drive off and contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership;
after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
remember to engage the handbrake;
if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct pressure
(with the engine running and the
handbrake engaged), resume driving
and drive with great care to a dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
