Unlike infrared units, this remote control unit need not be pointed in the exact direction of the car because it acts over a wider radius and can penetrate through tinted or dirty windows. Other simple yet effective anti-theft solutions have also been adopted to deter thieves. These include shields to protect door, boot, and bonnet locks. Added comfort on the 2.0 Selespeed is derived from a dual-zone climate control system fitted as standard with an automatic air recirculation function. Dual-zone means that the system is able to maintain two different temperatures simultaneously, i.e. one setting on the right side of the passenger compartment and another on the left.
Sensors are responsible for adjusting outside and inside temperature.
In addition, the dual-zone climate control system has sensors located at the base of the windscreen that detect solar radiation and the angle at which the rays strike the passenger compartment. Its role is to predict excessive temperature inside the car and inform the climate control system. A manual climate control is available on the 1.6. The Alfa 147 1.6 is fitted as standard with an RDS Blaupunkt radio and cassette player designed in accordance with passenger compartment specifications. The customised appearance blends in with the titanium-coloured centre console and the styling of the fascia.
