“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
(to adjust the height see the previous paragraph).
On some versions a head restraint is also provided for the central seat.
To remove the head restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their maximum height;
❒press buttons A fig. 26, then remove the head restraints by pulling
them upwards.
STEERING WHEEL
It can be adjusted axially and vertically.
To adjust, release A fig. 27 by pushing it forwards (position 1) and
adjust the steering wheel. Then lock lever A by pulling it towards
the steering wheel (position 2).
All adjustments must be carried out only with the
vehicle stationary and engine off.
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)
that could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights is important for the driver's
comfort and safety as well as for all other road users. This is also
covered by a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aligned to ensure the best visibility
conditions for yourself and others when driving with lights on. To check
and, if necessary, adjust, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR position and the
dipped headlights on.
Headlight alignment adjustment
To adjust, press the
andfig. 72 fig. 73 buttons. The adjustment
position is shown on the display.
Position 0: one or two occupants in the front seats.
Position 1: 4 people.
Position 2: 4 people + load in luggage compartment.
Position 3: driver + maximum permitted load stowed in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment every time that the load carried
changes.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To check and, if necessary, adjust, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped headlights are aligned to comply with the regulations of
the country of purchase. When travelling in countries with opposite
driving direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other side of the
road, you need to cover areas of the headlight according to the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.
