Backrest angle adjustment(where provided)
Lift lever 2 fig. 9 and adjust the backrest
angle at the same time.
The backrest angle can be adjusted to
three positions because of special sports
configuration.
6) 8) 2)
Height adjustment (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.
9A0L0117
6)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
7)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked into
place 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.

SAFETY

43)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular
checks of the tyre pressure, including for
the spare wheel.
44)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when
the tyres are cold.
45)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the system will no longer
be available and, in addition to the TPMS
warning light flashing for less than one
minute before becoming constant, a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until 4 wheels with sensors are
fitted again.
46)The TPMS cannot warn of sudden
decreases in tyre pressure (for example
when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the
car, braking with caution and avoiding
abrupt steering.
47)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres (and vice versa) requires TPMS
adjustment that must only be performed
by a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT48)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The TPMS
system may temporarily indicate
insufficient pressure. In this case, check
the tyre pressure when cold and, if
necessary, restore the inflation values.
49)When a tyre is removed, it is
advisable to replace the rubber valve seal
as well: contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Tyre and/or rim
fitting/removal operations require
specific precautions; to avoid damaging
or fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre
and/or rim fitting/removal operations
should only be carried out by specialised
staff. Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
50)Strong radio-frequency interference
could inhibit the regular operation of the
TPMS. This condition will be indicated by
a message on the display. The message
will disappear automatically as soon as
the radio-frequency interference ceases
to affect the system.51)The tyre repair kit (“Fix&Go
Automatic”) provided with the car (where
provided) is compatible with the TPMS
sensors; using sealants not equivalent
with that in the original kit may adversely
affect its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one are used,
it is recommended to have the TPMS
sensors checked by a qualified repair
centre.
