READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95, in compliance with the European specification EN228. In particular,
the 4C’s engine has been designed to comply with all emission limits while simultaneously guaranteeing minimal consumption and maximum
performance, using premium-quality unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) of 98 or higher. The use of petrol that does not conform to the
specification indicated may cause the
warning light to switch on and the irregular operation of the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged. Press the brake pedal and, without pressing the accelerator, turn the ignition key to AVV; release it
as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after purchasing the car, you want to install accessories that require an electrical supply (with the risk of gradually draining the battery),
contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership which will calculate the overall electrical consumption and check that the car’s electrical system
can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided(personal safety)(environmental protection)(car integrity).

54)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the car (for versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the TPMS
sensors; using sealants not equivalent with
that in the original kit may adversely affect
its operation. If sealants not equivalent with
the original one are used, it is
recommended to have the TPMS sensors
checked by a qualified repair centre.REFUELLING THE
CAR
The car features the "Fast Fuel" system,
which prevents refuelling with incorrect
fuels (e.g. diesel for a petrol engine).
Stop the engine before refuelling.
Only refuel with unleaded petrol with
octane rating (RON) not less than 95, in
compliance with the European
specification EN228. In particular, the
4C’s engine has been designed to
comply with all emission limits while
simultaneously guaranteeing minimal
consumption and maximum
performance, using premium-quality
unleaded petrol with octane rating
(RON) of 98 or higher.
In order to prevent damage to the
catalytic converter never introduce even
the smallest amount of leaded petrol,
even in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
FILLING THE TANK
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Avoid
further top-ups, which could cause
faults in the fuel supply system.
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
The car features a "Fast Fuel" device,
integrated with the opening for the fuel
tank: it opens and recloses
automatically when the fuel supply gun
is inserted/removed.
The "Fast Fuel" device is provided with
an inhibitor which prevents refuelling
with incorrect fuel.
The refuelling procedure described
below is illustrated on the label
fig. 56 located inside the fuel flap. The
label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol).

Procedureopen flap A fig. 57, pulling it
outwards;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
Flap A fig. 57 is provided with a dust
cover gaiter B which prevents deposits
of impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.
55) 56) 57)
Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed as
follows to reintroduce fuel to the tank:
take the dedicated funnel Cfig. 58 from the tool kit located in the
luggage compartment;
open flap A, pulling it outwards;
insert funnel C in the filler as
illustrated in fig. 58 and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the funnel
and close the flap;
finally, put the funnel back in its case
and put this back in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is
washed with a high-pressure jet, keep it
at a distance of at least 20 cm.
WARNING
55)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/caps could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
56)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
57)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
