System Failure
In the event of system failure or a fault with the gear selector, no driving modes can be selected.
The display will become grey (same screen as "Natural" mode) but without an indication of the Alfa
DNA setting. The display will also show a warning message.
Please contact your authorized dealer for service.
Launch Control
The Launch Control strategy permits high-performance acceleration from stand still.
This strategy can be activated with vehicle at a standstill, Race mode selected and FIRST (1st) gear
engaged.
The sequence of operations to perform is as follows:
1. Press the brake pedal and hold it down.
2. Press the accelerator pedal and hold it down.
3. Press the "–" paddle behind the steering wheel. (This allows the engine to rev above the
3000 RPM limit.)
When the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will start with maximum acceleration. Despite the
MANUAL mode, the vehicle will automatically shift the gear to guarantee maximum acceleration,
once the correct shifting speed has been reached.
WARNING!
Launch Control is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on any
public roadways. Use Launch Control only in a controlled and dry track environment; within the
limits of the law. Actual Launch Control performance may change depending on the surface and
current traction conditions. The capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the performance
pages must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner, which can jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death.
To discontinue the strategy, simply interrupt the above sequence of operations or release the
accelerator pedal.
