What is the Proper Way to Start the Alfa Romeo 4C?

The Alfa Romeo 4C is the premium sports car that you have been dreaming about, and now that it is yours, you understandably want to show it off while you zip through town. Because the Alfa Romeo 4C is a unique sports car, it may take some practice before you are entirely comfortable with it. How do you start your new 4C?

In order to start the Alfa Romeo 4C, press the key release button on your key fob. This causes the physical key to pop out, so you can put it inside the ignition switch. With your foot on the brake, turn the ignition switch to the start position indicated by AVV. The transmission engages the neutral gear automatically. The gear selector for the six-speed Alfa Twin Clutch transmission is located in the middle of the car at the front, and it is controlled by buttons. Once you’ve started the vehicle, you can select first gear or reverse as long as your foot is still on the brake.

In order to turn the Alfa Romeo 4C off and remove the key from the ignition switch, press the brake pedal, and place the transmission into first or reverse gear. Next, rotate the key to the stop position, and engage the handbrake before you release your foot off of the brake pedal. Finally, you can remove the key from the ignition switch.
