CLOSING
Procedure
19)
❒ hold the tailgate up with one hand and
use the other to remove rod 2 fig. 23
from housing 4 fig. 24 and reinsert it in
its locking device 3 fig. 23;
❒ lower the tailgate to approximately
20 centimetres from the engine

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for the driver’s comfort and
safety as well as for all other road users.
This is also covered by a specific rule of
the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility
conditions for all drivers.
Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the headlights
checked and adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are aligned
to comply with the regulations of the
country of purchase.
When in countries where you drive on the
other side of the road, you need to alter
the beam direction in order not to dazzle
the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction, proceeding as follows:
❒ open the protective flap 1 fig. 25 on
the inner wheel arch; it can be located by
steering the wheel completely;
15)The maximum permitted load in the
luggage compartment, in addition to the
kits provided, is 15 kg.
16)When accessing the rear boot,
take care with parts that may be hot,
owing to the adjacent engine
compartment. Danger of serious burns.
17)Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
18)The tailgate may drop
suddenly if the supporting rod
is not positioned correctly.
19)For safety reasons, the tailgate must
always be closed properly while the car is
travelling.
Therefore, always make sure that the
tailgate is closed properly and that the
lock is engaged. If you realise during
travel that the lock is not fully engaged,
stop immediately and close the tailgate in
the correct manner.

(on the central tunnel), four car response
modes to be selected according to
driving style and road conditions:
❒ d = Dynamicor Race
(sports driving mode);
❒ n = Natural(mode for driving in normal
conditions);
❒ a = All Weather(mode for driving in
poor grip conditions, such as rain and
snow).

interval of start-up mileage it is advisable
to refrain from an aggressive driving
style, so that the best gear shifting
quality can be achieved over time.
Activation
Move lever 1 fig. 28 upwards (to the
letter “d”) and hold in this position for half
a second, until the corresponding LED
lights up and the “Dynamic” mode
activation indicator appears on the
display.
