Alfa Romeo 4C 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine
compartment should be carefully
washed, without directing the
jet against any electronic control unit.
Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
IMPORTANT
5) Detergents cause water pollution.
Only wash your car in areas
equipped to collect and treat
wastewater from this type
of activity.
IMPORTANT
29) In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive
products and/or polishes should
not be used for cleaning the car.
30) Avoid washing with water
cannons, rollers and/or brushes in
washing stations. Then, wash
the car, only by hand, using
pH-neutral detergents; dry it with
a wet chamois leather.
INTERIORS
137) 138)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, also to
prevent damage to carbon parts.
To remove and reposition the mats in
the passenger compartment, proceed
as follows:
❒undo the screws with folding ring A
fig. 132, driver side and passenger
side;
❒separate the Velcro fabric strips B in
the front area under the mats, lifting
them from the floor.
Reposition the mats on the floor,
making sure that the holes at the back
of the mats coincide with the screw
housings on the floor.

❒tighten the screws with folding ring A
fig. 132 in the housings on the floor;
❒unite the Velcro fabric strips of the
mats with those on the floor, taking
care to apply light pressure and
ensure that the fastening is efficient.
139)
SEATS AND FABRIC OR
MICROFIBRE PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. For better cleaning of
microfibre trim (including the steering
wheel, for versions/markets, where
provided) we advise you to moisten the
brush. Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water and
neutral detergent.LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois
or slightly damp cloth, without exerting
too much pressure. Remove any liquid
or grease stains using an absorbent
dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean
with a soft cloth or chamois moistened
with water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products used
contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.PLASTIC, CARBON AND
COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic and visible carbon
parts with a damp cloth (if possible
made from microfibre), and a solution of
water and neutral, non-abrasive
detergent. To clean oily or persistent
stains, use specific products free from
solvents and designed to maintain
the original appearance and colour of
the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre
cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel display.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
To reposition, proceed as follows:

159
WARNING
137) Never use flammable products,
such as petroleum ether or
modified petrol, to clean the
inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning
operation may cause a fire.
138) Do not keep aerosol cans in the
car: they might explode. Aerosol
cans must not be exposed to
temperatures above 50°C.
Temperatures may greatly exceed
this value inside a car exposed
to direct sunlight.
139) There should be no obstacles
on the floor underneath the
pedals; make sure that mats are
always flat and do not interfere
with the pedals.
LEATHER PARTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to
clean these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products. Before using
a specific product for cleaning interiors,
make sure that it does not contain
alcohol and/or alcohol based
substances.
