ECO mode Alfa Romeo 4C 2021 Instructieboek (in Dutch)

75
❒ When necessary, with the engine
switched off, it is possible to engage the
1st speed, reverse (R) or neutral (N) with
key in MAR position and brake pressed.
In this case, gear shifts must be made
allowing at least 5 minutes to elapse
between one gear shift and the next to
safeguard the operation of the hydraulic
system and the pump in particular.
❒ For uphill departures, it is advisable to
accelerate gradually but fully
immediately after releasing the
handbrake or the brake pedal;
this allows the engine to temporarily
increase the number of revs and tackle
the steepest gradients with more torque
at the wheels.CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring 1 fig. 48 to .
48A0L0022
78)The Launch control function is only
available in Race mode. Regardless of
what is explicitly indicated in the
description of these modes, the ESC and
ASR systems are deactivated during
operation of the Launch Control function.
This means that vehicle dynamic control
is the sole responsibility of the driver.
Therefore pay the utmost attention when
using the Launch Control. Take into
account traffic and road surface
conditions and during manoeuvres make
sure there is enough room in the area
concerned.
IMPORTANT
The cruise control cannot be engaged in
1st or reverse gear: it is advisable to
engage it in 5th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed the
stored speed.
When the device is activated, the
digital warning light switches on together
with the relevant message on the display.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒ turn ring nut 1 fig. 48 to and press
the accelerator to reach the desired
speed;
❒ move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
1 second, then release it: the car speed is
now stored and you can therefore release
the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing the
accelerator; when you release the pedal,
the car goes back to the speed stored
previously.

93
At the end of the operation
Proceed as follows:
❒ reposition the space-saver wheel;
❒ place the jack and the other tools in
the container;
❒ arrange the container and tools in the
luggage compartment.
95)The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your vehicle: do
not use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on
your vehicle. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in the event of an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On
the space-saver wheel there is an orange
label, summarising the main warnings
regarding space-saver wheel usage
restrictions. Never remove or cover the
label. The label contains the following
indications in four languages: “Warning!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace by standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication”.
IMPORTANT
96)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your car is
stationary in compliance with regulations.
Passengers should get out of the car,
particularly if it is heavily loaded, and
wait for the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. On hills or uneven roads,
use chocks or appropriate objects to
block the wheels of the vehicle.
97) The vehicle’s driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration
and braking, abrupt steering and fast
cornering. The overall duration of the
space-saver wheel is about 3000 km,
after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a
rim that is designed for use with a space-
saver wheel. Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Using two or
more space-saver wheels at the same
time is forbidden.
Do not grease the threads of the stud
bolts before fitting them: they might slip
out when driving!98) The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on
other vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never position yourself under
a jacked vehicle. If any work under the
vehicle is necessary, contact the Alfa
Romeo Service Network. Incorrectly
positioning the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than the one shown on its label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Thus, lift the vehicle
only as needed in order to access the
spare tyre.
99) The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains.

IDENTIFICATION DATA
The identification data of the vehicle are:
❒ Model plate;
❒ Chassis marking;
❒ Bodywork paint identification plate;
❒ Engine marking.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER (VIN) PLATE

A Manufacturer’s Name
B Type-approval number.
C Vehicle type identification code.
D Chassis manufacture number.
E Maximum authorised weight of
vehicle fully laden.
F Maximum authorised weight of
vehicle when fully laden plus trailer.
G Maximum authorised weight on first
axle (front).

H Maximum authorised weight on
second axle (rear).
I Engine type.
L Bodywork version code.

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
Tyres provided Inflation pressure (bar)
Front tyres 205/45 R17 88Y XL 1.8 205/40 R18 86Y XL 1.8
Rear tyres 235/40 R18 95Y XL 2.0 235/35 R19 91Y XL 2.0
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure.
However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the “Raising the vehicle” paragraph in the “Servicing and care” chapter.
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car: the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership will be able to advise
you on the most appropriate tyre to use.
Only use these tyres in the event of ice or snow on the roads.
In these conditions it is recommended to select the “All Weather” mode of the Alfa DNA system.
For the type of snow tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications of the tyres, carefully follow the instructions given in
this paragraph.
134)
The performance of these tyres on low-grip surfaces are reduced considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace them in
this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in normal weather conditions and dry asphalt or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower than that of standard tyres.
Their usage should therefore be restricted in accordance with their type approval.
