PARKING THE CAR
To park safely, with the brake pedal
pressed, P must be engaged and, in case
of parking uphill/downhill, the electric
parking brake must be engaged.
Before releasing the break pedal, wait
for the electric parking brake to engage.
WARNING NEVER leave the car before
having positioned the lever in P.
TOWING THE CAR
WARNING If the gear lever is in position
P and the electric parking brake (EPB) is
disengaged, the car can only be towed
with the front wheels up. For information
on towing, refer to the "Towing a
disabled vehicle" chapter in the "In an
emergency" section.
"RECOVERY" FUNCTIONS
In case of a gear lever failure, the
instrument panel display could show a
dedicated message recommending that
the driver continues driving without
shifting the lever to the P position.
Under this condition, the transmission
will maintain the forward gear (with
reduced performance) even if the lever is
shifted to R or N. Once the lever is in the
P position, or after shutting down the car,
it will not be possible to select R nor any
forward gear. In this case, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
GENERAL WARNINGS
116) 117) 118) 119)
With car stationary and gear engaged,
always keep the brake pedal pressed
until you decide to set off, then release
the brake and accelerate gradually.
During prolonged stops with the engine
running, it is advisable to keep the
transmission in neutral (N) or P (Parking).
To protect the clutch, never use
the accelerator to keep the car
stationary (for example when stopped
uphill/downhill): clutch overheating could
damage it.
Use the brake pedal instead or the
electric parking brake and only press the
accelerator pedal when you wish to set
off.
If reverse (R) is engaged, only engage the
1st gear (or vice versa) when the car is
completely stopped.
Although it is highly inadvisable, if you
are driving downhill and, for unexpected
reasons, you let the car move forward
with the transmission in neutral (N),
when there is a request to engage a gear,
depending on the speed of the car, the
system will automatically engage the
best gear for the correct transmission of
drive torque to the wheels.
WARNING
116) Never leave children unattended in the
car.
117) Never use position P instead of the
electric parking brake. Always engage the
electric parking brake when parking the car
to avoid the accidental movement of the
car.
118) If the P position is not engaged, the
vehicle could move and injure people. Before
leaving the vehicle, make sure that the gear
lever is in position P and that the electric
parking brake is engaged.
119) Do not shift the gear lever to N and
do not stop the engine when driving on
a downhill road. This type of driving is
dangerous and reduces the possibility of
intervening in the case of variation of the
road traffic or surface. You risk losing
control of your car and causing accidents.
IMPORTANT
37) If the car is on a gradient, always engage
the electric parking brake BEFORE placing
the gear lever in P.
