Towing The Car; General Warnings - Alfa Romeo ALFA TCT Supplement Manual

TOWING THE CAR

Make sure that the transmission is in neutral (N), checking that the
car moves off and proceed in the same way as for towing a normal
car with a manual gearbox (see description in Owner Handbook).
IMPORTANT If the gearbox cannot be put in neutral (N), do not tow the
car and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services. Should the lever be in
P, see the release procedure described in paragraph "Positions of the
lever" before towing it.

GENERAL WARNINGS

With the car stationary and a gear engaged, always keep the
brake pedal pressed until you decide to set off, then release the
brake and accelerate slowly.
During prolonged stops with the engine running, it is advisable to
keep the gearbox in neutral (N).
To protect the clutch, never use the accelerator to keep the car
stationary (for example when stopped uphills): clutch overheating
could damage it. Use the brake pedal instead or the handbrake
and only press the accelerator pedal when you wish to set off.
If reverse (R) is engaged, only engage the 1
when the car is completely stopped.
Although it is strongly unadvisable, 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
speed, depending on the actual speed of the car, the system will
automatically engage the best speed for the correct transmission of
drive torque to the wheels.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key when leaving the car and take
the key with you.
