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
engine of Alfa 4C 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) 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.
FILLING THE TANK
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further top-
ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding
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. 51 located inside the fuel flap.
The label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol).
Procedure
❒ open flap 1 fig. 52, 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 1.
The flap is provided with a dust boot 2
which prevents the introduction of dirt
and dust into the end of the filling when
the flap is closed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the vehicle or the
supply circuit is completely empty,
proceed as follows to reintroduce fuel to
the tank:
❒ take the dedicated funnel fig. 53 from
the tool kit located in the boot;
❒ open the flap 1 fig. 52 by pulling it
outwards;
❒ insert funnel C in the filler as
illustrated in fig. 53 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 boot.

IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is
washed with a high pressure jet, keep it at
a distance of at least 20 cm.
Fuel - Vehicle compatibility
identification Graphic symbol for
informing consumers in accordance
with EN16942
The symbols shown below facilitated
recognising the correct fuel type to be
used on your car.
Before refuelling, check the symbols
inside the fuel filler flap (where provided)
and compare them with the symbol on
the fuel pump (where provided).
53A0L0151
82)Do not apply any object/cap to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the vehicle. The use of non-compliant
objects/caps could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
83) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening:
risk of fire. Keep your face away from the
fuel filler to prevent breathing in harmful
vapours.
84)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.

FUEL CONSUMPTION ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE (litres/100 km)
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific
European Directives.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒ extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates extra-urban use of the car, with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed varies from
0 to 120 km/h;
❒ combined consumption: this is calculated with a weighting of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about 63% extra-urban
consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those measured.
