FRONT SEATSCENTRAL LOCKING
This allows central locking of the door
locks.
To engage central locking, the doors
must be perfectly shut, otherwise locking
is denied.
IMPORTANTWith central locking
engaged, pulling the inside lever for open-
ing one of the front doors causes the
unlocking of all the doors.
In the event of a power cut off (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is still
possible to work the lock by hand.

Any adjustments are to
be carried out only with
the vehicle stationary.
LENGTHWISE ADJUSTMENT
(fig. 12)
Raise the lever (A) and push the seat
backwards or forwards; in the driving posi-
tion the arms should be slightly flexed and
the hands should rest on the rim of the
steering wheel.

After releasing the ad-
justment lever, always
check that the seat is
locked on the runners, trying to
move it to and from. The lack of
this clamping action could cause the
seat to move unexpectedly and
cause loss of vehicle control.
Upholstery of your car has
been designed to withstand
wear deriving from com-
mon use of the car. You are how-
ever recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with
clothing accessories such as metal-
lic buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings
and the like, since these items cause
circumscribed stress of the cover
fabric that could lead to yarn break-
ing, and damage the cover as a con-
sequence.

when travelling.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
chest straight and rested against the seat
back.
To fasten the seat belts: hold the
tongue (A-fig. 35) and insert it into the
buckle (B), until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.To unfasten the seat belts:press
button (C-fig. 35). Guide the seat belt
with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting. Through the reel,
the belt automatically adapts to the body
of the passenger wearing it, allowing free-
dom of movement.
When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or if
the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speed.

TO REDUCE THE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be reduced in
two ways:
1) disengaging the device (for instance
pressing the brake pedal) and then mem-
orising the new speed (turning the ring
(B) to (+) for at least three seconds);
2) keeping the ring pressed (B) at (–)
until reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.The device may only be engaged in in
4th, 5th or 6th gear, depending on the
speed of the car. Travelling downhill with
the device engaged the car speed may
increase more than the memorised one,
due to the change in the engine load.
The ring (A) may be left constantly at
ONwithout damaging the device. You
are, however, advised to switch the device
off when not in use, turning the ring to
OFF, to avoid memorising speeds by
accident. It is advisable to engage the cruise con-
trol only when the conditions of the traffic
or roads so permit under completely safe
conditions, i.e.: straight and dry roads,
dual carriage ways or motorways, flowing
traffic and smooth road surface. Do not
engage the device in town or in heavy
traffic conditions.When travelling with the
cruise control on, do not
move the gearshift lever to
neutral and do not move the Sele-
speed selector to N.
Cruise control may only
be engaged at speeds be-
tween 30 and 190 km/h.
If the device is faulty or
not working, turn the ring
(A) to OFF and contact Al-
fa Romeo Authorised Services af-
ter checking that the protection
fuse is intact.
ESETTING THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The memorised speed is automatically
reset turning off the engine or moving the
ring (A) to OFF.

IN THE EVENT OF A BLOWN FUSE
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e. it
cuts off) mainly due to a fault or improp-
er action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse. The conductor ele-
ment(A-fig. 49) must be intact; if not,
replace the fuse with one of the same
amp rating (same colour).(B) - Undamaged fuse
(C) - Fuse with damaged filament.
Remove the blown fuse using the pincer
provided (D), in the control box.
fig. 49
A0A0185b
Never replace a fuse
with metal wires or any-
thing else. Always use an
intact fuse of the same colour.
Never replace a fuse
with another with a high-
er amp rating; DANGER
OF FIRE.
If a general fuse (MAXI-
FUSE or MEGA-FUSE) cuts
in, do not attempt any
repair and contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
Before replacing a fuse,
make sure the ignition
key has been removed
and that all the other services are
switched off and/or disengaged.
If a fuse blows again,
contact an Alfa Romeo
Authorised Service.

IN AN EMERGENCY

pages, refer to the following illustrations
fig. 52,fig. 53and54.Alfa GTfuses are located in three
fuse boxes set on the dashboard, on bat-
tery positive terminal and near the bat-
tery.
Access is gained to the control box on
the dashboard by slackening the two
retainers (A-fig. 50) and removing the
protective trim (B).
To gain access to the fuses in the fuse-
box on the battery post, remove the pro-
