Turning The Vdc System On/Off; Failure Warning - Alfa Romeo Brera Owner's Manual

fig. 85
TURNING THE VDC SYSTEM
ON/OFF
The VDC system is automatically acti-
vated when the engine is started. When
travelling, to turn the VDC off press the
ASR/ VDC button on the central console
for 2 seconds fig. 85. Turning off the
VDC will also turn off the ASR. Both func-
tions can be reactivated by pressing the
ASR/VDC button.
VDC system deactivation is indicated
by the dedicated message on the dis-
play.
If the VDC has been turned off when
travelling, at next engine start-up it will
turn on again automatically.
FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS
In the event of failure, the VDC system
is automatically disconnected and the
warning light á comes on with fixed
light on the instrument panel (together
with a message on the display) (see sec-
tion "Warning lights and messages"). In
this case contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
A0F0026m Services as soon as possible.
WARNING
Performance of the
VDC system, in terms
of active safety should not in-
duce the driver to take point-
less and unnecessary risks.
The style of driving must in
any case always be adapted to
the conditions of the road sur-
face, visibility an traffic. Road
safety is always the driver's
responsibility.
WARNING
During the use of the
space-saver spare wheel
(for versions/markets, where
provided), the VDC system
carries on working. However,
you must remind that the
space-saver spare wheel has
dimensions smaller than the
standard tyre and therefore its
grip is reduced as to the oth-
er car tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of
the VDC system, the
tyres must absolutely be of
the same brand and type on all
wheels, in perfect conditions
and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
