key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Disengagement
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 a
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
3) When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to prevent
someone from accidentally
activating the controls.
Remember to engage the
handbrake. Engage 1
stgear if the
car is parked uphill or reverse if
the car is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
car.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). This could badly affect
performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance
of the car with approval
requirements.
5) Never remove the key while the
car is moving. The steering wheel
will lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being
towed as well.

“Anti-Whiplash” device
The head restraints are equipped with
an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the “whiplash”
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant's
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
REAR
Two height-adjustable head restraints
are provided for the back seats (for the
adjustment see the previous
paragraph).
On some versions a head restraint is
also provided for the central seat.
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 17, then
remove the head restraints by pulling
them upwards.
WARNING
9) The head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather
than the neck, rests on them. Only
in this case they can protect your
head correctly.
STEERING WHEELIt can be adjusted axially and vertically.
To adjust, release the lever by pushing it
forwards (position 1 fig. 18) and adjust
the steering wheel. Having made the
adjustment, lock lever A by pulling
it towards the steering wheel (position
2).
