“ELECTRONIC Q2”
SYSTEM (“E-Q2”)
The "Electronic Q2" system intervenes
during acceleration on corners, braking
the inner drive wheel and thus
increasing the traction of the outer
wheel (which bears more of the car’s
weight): the torque is thus distributed
optimally between the drive wheels
in accordance with the driving
conditions and road surface, permitting
particularly effective, sporty driving.
"PRE-FILL" SYSTEM
(RAB - Ready Alert
Brake)
(only with 'Dynamic" mode activated)
This function activates automatically
if the accelerator pedal is released
rapidly, reducing the brake pad travel
(both at front and back), with the aim of
preparing the braking system and
enhancing its responsiveness, thus
reducing the stopping distance in the
event of subsequent braking.
WARNING
30) The ESC system can’t alter the
natural laws of physics, and can’t
increase grip which depends on
the condition of the road.
31) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
32) The capability of the ESC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way
as to compromise personal safety
and the safety of others.
33) For the correct operation of the
ASR system, the tyres must of
necessity be the same make and
type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and dimensions.
34) The performance of the ESC
and ASR systems must not
encourage the driver to take
unnecessary risks. Your driving
style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and
traffic. The driver is always
responsible for road safety.35) When the ABS intervenes and
you feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not reduce the pressure, but
hold it down firmly and
confidently; in doing so you will
brake in the shortest distance
possible, depending on the
current road conditions.
36) For maximum efficiency of the
braking system, a bedding-in
period of about 500 km is
required: during this period it is
advisable to avoid sharp, repeated
and prolonged braking.
37) If the ABS intervenes, this
indicates that the grip of the tyres
on the road is nearing its limit:
you must slow down to a speed
compatible with the available grip.
38) The ABS can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t
increase the grip available
according to the condition of the
road.
39) The ABS cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
40) The capability of the ABS must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as
to compromise personal safety
and the safety of others.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

41) For the correct operation of the
ABS, the tyres must of necessity
be the same make and type on all
wheels, in perfect condition and,
above all, of the prescribed type
and dimensions.
42) The ASR system can’t overrule
the natural laws of physics, and
can’t increase the grip available
according to the condition of
the road.
43) The ASR system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
44) The capability of the ASR system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way
as to compromise personal safety
and the safety of others.
45) The HBA system can’t alter the
natural laws of physics, and can’t
increase grip which depends on
the condition of the road.
46) The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.47) The capability of the HBA system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way
as to compromise the safety of
the driver, the other occupants of
the car or any other road user.
“Alfa DNA” SYSTEM
(Car dynamic
control system)This device allows, using lever A fig. 75
(on the central tunnel), three car
response modes to be selected
according to driving style and road
conditions:
❒d=Dynamic(sports driving mode);
❒n=Natural(mode for driving in
normal conditions);
❒a=All Weather(mode for driving in
poor grip conditions, such as rain
and snow).
The device also acts on the dynamic
car control systems (engine, steering,
ESC system, instrument panel).75
