WARNING!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable sys -
tem operation or sensor damage may result
when using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using after -
market tire sealants may cause the Tire Pres -
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to
become inoperable. After using an aftermarket
tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have
your sensor function checked.
CAUTION!
Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may
severely damage the gearbox, with resulting
breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact
with hot engine or with exhaust components
at high temperature could cause fires.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Failure to comply with what is reported below may
damage the transmission:
Shift into PARK (P) mode only with the vehicle
at a standstill.
Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass from
REVERSE to another mode only with the
vehicle at a standstill and engine idling.
Do not change between PARK (P), REVERSE
(R), NEUTRAL (N) or DRIVE (D) modes with
engine running at a speed above idling.
Before activating any transmission operating
mode, fully press the brake pedal.
NOTE:
The unexpected movement of the vehicle can
injure the occupants or people nearby. Do not
leave the vehicle with engine running: before
getting out of the passenger compartment always
engage the EPB, select the PARK (P) mode, and
stop the engine.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all
vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Before exiting a
vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift
the transmission into PARK, and turn the
ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF
position, the transmission is locked in PARK,
securing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock the
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the
transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in the
ON/RUN or ACC position. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Only engage the gear with engine at idling
while fully pressing the brake pedal. If the
transmission temperature exceeds the
normal operating limits, the transmission
control unit may change the gear
engagement order and reduce the drive
torque. If the transmission overheats, it
could operate incorrectly until it cools down.
When using the vehicle with extremely low
external temperatures, the transmission
operation may change depending on the
engine and transmission temperature, as
well as vehicle speed. Activation of the
torque converter clutch and of the EIGHTH
gear is inhibited until the transmission oil is
correctly warmed up. Complete operation of
the transmission will be enabled as soon as
the fluid temperature reaches the
predefined value.

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the system is active and only, for example,
the left lane marking has been detected, the
detected lane illuminates in white on the display.
The system is then ready to provide visual
warnings on the display in the event of uninten-
tional exiting of the lane (turn signal not
activated) to the left.
Left Lane Marking Detected
When the system detects that the vehicle has
approached the lane line and is about to pass it,
the left line on the display illuminates in yellow.
Left Lane Marking Approached The system operates in the same way, but
mirrored, in the event of exiting the right lane
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the system is active, both lane lines on the
display illuminate in white to indicate that both of
the lane markings have been detected.
When lane markings are detected, the system is
ready to provide indications in case the driver
unintentionally leaves the lane (turn signal not
activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system detects
the lane markings while the vehicle is in motion,
it will adjust the display accordingly (from white to
yellow and yellow to white, and increase their
thickness).
If a lane line is crossed, the driver is alerted by an
audible signal as well as the visual indication in
the instrument cluster. The signal is emitted
through the speakers on the side of the lane limit
which is being crossed (e.g. if the vehicle is
exceeding the left line of the lane, the audible
signal will come from the speakers on the left of
the vehicle).
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a condition
limiting the Lane Departure Warning system
operation may have occurred. This could be an
obstruction of the camera view, or a fault in the
system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the area of the
windshield by the interior rearview mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in normal
conditions, the system may not function properly. When the conditions limiting the system are
corrected, it will go back to normal operation.
Should a fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and appears on the
display, it means that there is a system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the vehicle,
but you are advised to contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.

LANE KEEPING ASSIST
(LKA) SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system uses a
camera located on the windshield to detect the
lane markings and calculate the position of the
vehicle within such markings, in order to make
sure that the vehicle remains inside the lane. This
is an active system that will apply torque to the
steering wheel if it senses that the vehicle is
drifting out of the lane.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 119
STARTING AND OPERATING
120
When one or both lane markings are detected
and the vehicle passes over one without a turn
signal being applied, the system will apply torque
to the steering wheel and a visual signal will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. An
audible signal may also sound.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the lane line
without any driver intervention, the surpassed
lane line (left or right) will light up on the
instrument cluster display to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back inside the lane markings.Lane Crossed

Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. This action is
unnecessary and causes increased fuel
consumption and pollution.
Gear Selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road conditions
allow it. Using a low gear for faster acceleration
will increase fuel consumption. Improper use of a
high gear increases consumption, emissions and
engine wear.
Maximum Speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as
speed increases. Maintain a constant speed,
avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration,
which cost in terms of both fuel consumption and
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects consumption
and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold Starting
Short trips and frequent cold starts will not allow
the engine to reach optimum operating
temperature. This results in a significant increase
in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% in city
driving) and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic,
for instance when traveling in traffic with frequent
use of low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Winding mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect consumption.Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway crossings),
turn off the engine.
PERFORMANCE — QUADRIFOGLIO
This vehicle is equipped with an engine capable
of delivering exceptionally fast acceleration and
speed:
Peak power: 505 HP at 6,500 RPM.
Peak torque: 443 ft-lb at 2,500–5,000 RPM.
Top speed: 176 mph (283 km/h).
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h):
3.6 seconds.
For safe driving, it is essential, particularly during
the first days of use, to get to know the car by
driving carefully and gradually discovering its
performance.
Brakes
The car braking system may be available with four
carbon ceramic material brake discs, one on
each wheel.
In order to guarantee the maximum braking
capacity for the first use, Alfa Romeo performs a
"run-in" procedure for discs and pads directly at
the factory.
The use of carbon ceramic material brake discs
guarantees braking features (better
deceleration/pedal load ratio, braking distances,
fading resistance) proportional to the dynamic
features of the car in addition to considerably
decreasing the unsprung component weight.
The materials used and the structural features of
the system could generate unusual noises which
have absolutely no adverse effect on correct
operation and reliability of the braking system. Greater pressure may need to be applied to the
brake pedal the first time to keep the same
braking capacities in presence of condensation
or salt on the braking surfaces, for example after
washing or if the car is not used for a long time.
NOTE:
Given the high technological level of this system,
any servicing on it must be performed by an
authorized dealer which exclusively has the skills
needed for the repair and maintenance opera
-
tions.
In case of intensive, high-performance use of the
car, have the efficiency of the carbon ceramic
material braking system inspected as shown on
the Maintenance Plan at an authorized dealer.
Driving On Race Tracks
Before driving on a track using a racing style, it is
necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine
compartment
Ú
page 191.
Have the car inspected at an authorized
dealer.
Remember that the car was not designed to be
driven exclusively on the race track and that this
use increases stress and component wear.
NOTE:
Quadrifoglio front brakes are equipped with
Non-Asbestos Organic (NAO) type pads. These
pads are NOT suitable for high thermal loads (for
example track use). If you plan to use vehicle on
a track it is recommended to use the optional
CCM Brakes (Carbon Ceramic Brake disc).
