Alfa Dna System (Dynamic Vehicle Control System); Driving Modes - Alfa Romeo 4C spider User Manual

For uphill departures, accelerate gradually but
fully, immediately after releasing the parking brake
or the brake pedal; this allows the engine speed to
increase to provide more torque at the wheels.
ALFA DNA SYSTEM
(DYNAMIC VEHICLE
CONTROL SYSTEM)
This vehicle is equipped with a "Alfa DNA" system
lever (located on the center console). There are
four modes of operation to be selected according
to driving style and road conditions:
• Dynamic (This mode alters the transmission's
automatic shift schedule for sportier driving
[D]).
• Natural (mode for driving in normal conditions
[N]).
• All Weather (mode for driving in poor grip con-
ditions, such as rain and snow [A]).
• Race (sports driving mode [D]).
This also acts on the dynamic vehicle control
systems (engine, gearbox/transmission, ESC sys-
tem).

The selected driving mode is indicated by the
corresponding LED switching in the panel and by
an indication on the display.
Dynamic Mode
Activation

letter "D") and hold in this position for half a
second, until the corresponding LED lights up and

on the display.
When Dynamic mode is activated, the turbo-

screen is displayed automatically. When released,
the Alfa DNA system lever will return to the central
position.
NOTE:
Dynamic Mode will be inhibited until the vehicle
has accumulated 155 miles (250 km).

The ESC and ASR system ensures more enjoyable,
sportier driving while guaranteeing the stability of
the vehicle.

The system increases vehicle stability while acceler-
ating on bends, improving the agility of the vehicle.
