REARVIEW MIRRORS

DRIVING MIRROR
WITH COMPASS

(for versions/markets
where applicable) (fig. 2)

The car features a special driving mirror
that, at starting, sets automatically to day
or night use position.

ALFA CROSSWAGON Q4

At night, the mirror detects the main
beam lights of the cars behind and will
dim automatically to eliminate light that
could bother driving.

A0B0637m

The mirror has a built-in compass that
shows the broad driving direction on the
display provided for the purpose.

Direction shown can be one of the fol­lowing:

N: North

S: South

E: East

W: West

NE: North-East

SE: South-East

SW: South-West

NW: North-West

Compass turns on when turning the igni­tion key to MAR.

To turn the compass off, press switch
(B-fig. 2). To turn it on again press
switch (B) again.

Turning the automatic
antiglare function on

The green led (A-fig. 2) when on indi-

cates that the automatic antiglare function
is on.

To turn the antiglare function on, keep

switch (B-fig. 2) pressed for 3 seconds
until the led comes on. After releasing the
switch the automatic antiglare function is
active.

Letter “C”
shown on the display

If letter “C” is displayed the compass

shall be reset. Make the car turn by 360°
at a speed equal to or lower than 8
km/h, until the display (fig. 3) shows
car running direction (North, South, East,
West).

In the event of significant moving away

from common driving zones (see map
fig. 4), it could be required to reset the
compass to compensate terrestrial mag­netic field variations.

A0B0640m

Proceed as follows:

– with display on, keep switch (A-
fig. 3) pressed for 6 seconds until dis­playing the number corresponding to the
zone for which the zone was initialised
last time;

– set the involved zone by pressing

repeatedly switch (A-fig. 3) until dis­playing the number corresponding to the
required zone;

– release the switch: after a few sec­onds the system will store automatically
the set zone and the display will show let­ter “C”.

lever (E-fig. 9) provided for the purpose;

– press the brake pedal, disengage the
gear, start the engine plug in the cigar
lighter (G-fig. 10) (or 12V outlet).
Inflate the tyre to the proper pressure
value (2.5 bar): for accurate reading use
gauge (H) to check for correct tyre infla­tion pressure with compressor off. After
inflating the tyre, turn the engine off and
engage first gear or reverse;

sequence shown in fig. 16.

Refitting a standard wheel

Following the procedure described previ­ously, raise the car and remove the com­pact spare wheel.

Proceed as follows:

– tighten the pin (A-fig. 17) in one of
the fastening bolt holes;

– fit the wheel to the pin and tighten the
four bolts available;

– remove the pin (A-fig. 17) and
tighten the last fastening bolt;

– lower the car and remove the jack;
then, tighten the bolts in the sequence
shown previously for the compact spare
wheel (fig. 15).

After refitting:

– deflate the compact spare wheel fully
and then arrange it in the proper space pro­vided inside the boot. Take into account
that due to its technical features, the com­pact spare wheel after being used and
deflated will not regain exactly it original
size. This is not a defect and does not alter
its operating properties;

– put the jack back into its container
forcing it lightly to prevent it from vibrat­ing when travelling;

– put the tools used back into the rele­vant housings inside the container;

– stow the container complete with
tools on the compact spare wheel and
secure everything with the clamping
device (A-fig. 8).

To prevent damages to
transmission components,
the car shall only be towed

in one of the following methods:

– with front wheels raised and
rear wheels resting on proper
truck;

– with rear wheels raised and
front wheels resting on proper
truck;

– with car loaded on rescue ve­hicle with all wheels standing on
the rescue vehicle floor.

INTERIOR FITTINGS

CLEANING LEATHER SEATS

– Remove dried on dirt with a lightly
moistened chamois leather or cloth with­out pressing too hard.

– Remove liquid or grease stains with a
dry absorbent cloth without rubbing. Then
wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather
with water and neutral soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products, carefully
following the instructions for use.

WARNING Never use alcohol. Make
sure that cleaning products do not contain
alcohol and alcohol derivatives even at
low strength.

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to
withstand wear deriving

from common use of the car. You
are however recommended to
avoid strong and/or continuous
scratching with clothing acces­sories such as metallic buckles,
studs, Velcro fastenings and the
like, since these items cause cir­cumscribed stress of the cover
fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking, and damage the cover
as a consequence.

TRANSMISSION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS

WARNING

Only drive the car on
grounds suitable for its

characteristics and for your dri-

ALFA CROSSWAGON Q4

ving skill. Adapt speed to ground
characteristics.

WARNING

When you are not up to
pass a steep slope avoid

U-turns, but go back in reverse.

WARNING

Do not drive uphill cater­corner, but follow the

max. gradient line.

WARNING

After driving on grounds

covered with water, mud
or dirty roads, brake slowly in
order to dry brake discs com­pletely.

Altitude reduces car per-

formance since air is thin.

BAND BELOW DOORRWAY

The band below the door­way of your car is fitted
with a protection, as

shown in the figure 21, to improve
protection against damages when
driving on bad roadbeds or in bad
servicing conditions. Removal of
this protection reduces component
protection and will result in com­ponent damaging as a consequence.

GEARBOX

Six forward gears plus reverse all syn-

chronised.

To engage reverse gear (R) raise the

ring under the grip (with the fingers of the
same hand holding the lever).

After engaging reverse gear, release the
ring. It is not necessary to raise the ring on
the lever when shifting from reverse to
another gear.

WARNING Reverse gear can only be
engaged with the car completely stopped.
With the engine running, before engaging
reverse gear it is necessary to wait for at
least 3 seconds with the clutch pedal fully
pressed, to avoid grating and the possibil­ity of damaging the gears.

CLUTCH

Dry single disk with hydraulic control.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Alfa Crosswagon Q4 is a car capa-

ble of coping well with snowy, icy, muddy
and dirt roads.

Drive is of the permanent 4-wheel type
with three differentials and differentiated
torque distribution between the two axles.
Torque distribution between front and rear
axle is continuously modulated according
to grip by central TORSEN C differential.
Mechanical modulation is continuous and
gradual to optimise drive under all driving
conditions and to preserve best driving
comfort.

Four-wheel drive enables to exploit
engine power at best even in poor grip
conditions: the driver shall however
observe common road rules since road
safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

WARNING Take into account that it is
not an off-road vehicle.

In the event of significant
grip difference between
front and rear axle, do not

accelerate sharply: in this case it is
best to run the engine at medium
or low rpm and to wait for a few
seconds if more attempts are
required.

SUSPENSIONS

FRONT SUSPENSION

“High” links.

REAR SUSPENSION

Mc Pherson type by transverse links of

unequal length.
