AERODYNAMICS

ACTIVE AERODYNAMICS - MOBILE

FRONT SPLITTER

The device, fig. 191, which is automatically

managed according to the speed of the

car, provides greater stability at high

speeds, increasing the aerodynamic load

on the front.
An electromechanical system operates

the descent of the mobile front splitter

at high speeds.
The system does not work at

temperatures close to or below 0°C.
The splitter can also be manually

adjusted to two different positions:

most external

(“extended”) position

(A) fig. 191. This position further

increases the aerodynamic load on the

front.

most internal

(“retracted”) position (B)

fig. 191.

191

04296S0008EM

WARNING The most external

("extended") position of the splitter is

allowed only and exclusively for use on

the race track.
For adjustments, refer to the procedure

described below.
NOTE In case of a failure of the mobile

front splitter, the generic failure icon

along with a dedicated message which

identifies the type of malfunction, is

shown on the instrument panel display.

aerodynamic configurations for the car:

low

aerodynamic load (A)

medium

aerodynamic load (B)

high

aerodynamic load (C)

which can be obtained by adjusting the

position of the front splitter and rear

wing.
For each configuration, the pages which

follow show the required positions of the

mobile aerodynamic appendages, the

entity of the vertical load (downforce)

acting on the car’s front and rear axles,

and the amount of drag.

DRIVING TIPS

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

“Maintenance and care” chapter;

have the car inspected at a Dedicated

Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Remember that the car was not designed

to be driven exclusive on the race track

and that this use increases stress and

component wear.
WARNING

Two people are allowed on

board (including the driver) in normal

driving conditions on the race track, but

the driver must be alone when driving

at maximum performance. In any case,

there must be nothing in the boot (the

load compartment must be empty).

There must be no objects inside the

passenger compartment and behind

the front seats (the holders provided

must only be used for helmets when not

being worn)

.

SERVICING PROCEDURES

MAINTENANCE IN CASE OF TRACK

DRIVING

This paragraph describes the

maintenance procedures required if the

car is used for race-track driving.

Before using the car on a track

Always check whether the brake

pads and carbon ceramic disc brakes

are worn before each track session (a

dedicated message appears on the

instrument panel/Connect system if the

brake discs and pads are work and need

replacement) and inspect the brake

pipes for damage whenever the brake

pads are changed.

Contact a Dedicated Alfa Romeo

Dealership to have the car inspected.

Do

not use the car for track driving during

the running-in period

.

In case of track driving, the brake fluid

must be changed more often than stated

in the Service Schedule. The brake fluid

must also have been changed within the

previous 12 months.

Before track driving sessions, “bed

in” the entire braking system (front and

rear) through running-in braking.

After using the car on a track

Change the engine oil and filter in the

24 hours after track driving.

If the car is used for track driving

often, you are advised to have the carbon

ceramic disc brakes (CCB) inspected by a

Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.

To keep the braking system in perfect

working order, whenever the pads of

the carbon ceramic disc brakes (CCB)

are changed, also bleed brake fluid

from every caliper to check that it is

clear. Then top up (see the information

provided in the "Checking the levels"

paragraph in the "Maintenance and care"

chapter). You are advised to contact a

Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership for

this procedure.
