System Failure; Launch Control - Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 2020 Owner's Manual

116 STARTING AND OPERATING
Electronic Q2 System:
The system is deactivated.
Engine And Gearbox/Transmission:
Standard response shifting.
Deactivation
To deactivate All Weather mode and return to Natural
mode, move the Alfa DNA system lever upwards (to letter
"D") and keep it in this position for half a second.
NOTE:
• When the engine is next started, All Weather mode or
Natural mode will be retained when the vehicle is
restarted.
• When the engine is next started, Race mode or Dynamic
mode previously selected is not retained. The system will
reactivate in Natural mode.
• It is not possible to go directly from Dynamic mode to All
Weather mode and vice versa. You must always first go
back to Natural mode and then select the other mode.

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 a standstill.
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 3,000 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.
