Checking Levels - Alfa Romeo Giulia 952 2017 Owner's Handbook Manual

DRIVING ON RACE TRACKS
Before driving on a track using a racing
style, it is necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine
compartment. For more information, see
the "Checking levels" paragraph in the
"Servicing and care" chapter of the Owner
Handbook.
Have the car inspected at a Dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership centre.
Remember that the car was not designed
to be driven exclusive on the race track
and that this use increases stress and
component wear.

Preheating the carbon ceramic material
brake discs
The brake discs must be warmed up to
make them fully efficient. You are
advised to perform the following
procedure:
brake nine times from 80 mph
(130 km/h) to 20 mph (30 km/h) with
deceleration equal to 0.7 g (the
longitudinal acceleration value is shown
on the instrument panel display by
setting RACE mode and selecting the
"Performance" page) with 20 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph (60 km/h) and 60 mph
(100 km/h) and do not brake for
240 seconds to allow the brakes to cool
down;
then brake three times from 120 mph
(200 km/h) to 20 mph (30 km/h) with
deceleration equal to 1.1 g (ABS
operation) with 30 second intervals
between brake applications; keep the car
at a speed comprised between 37 mph
(60 km/h) and 60 mph (100 km/h) and do
not brake for 300 seconds to allow the
brakes to cool down.
WARNING
131) After the car has been stopped for a
long time in a very cold place (temperature
below 0 °C), for the first five brakes, the
carbon-ceramic braking system efficiency is
not optimal, so you may need slightly more
pressure on the brake pedal.
