2016 Alfa Romeo 4C tire pressure

IGNITION SWITCH
Operation
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 9:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. radio,
central door locking system, alarm, etc.)
are still available;
MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are available;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until it
locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly and
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 Alfa Romeo
Dealership before driving again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the electric parking
brake. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
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,
invalidate the warranty, cause serious
safety problems and also result in the car
not meeting type-approval requirements.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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 with the
car stationary.
7)Once you have released 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.
IMPORTANT
2)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.
