GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Check that the corresponding
contacts are not oxidised and that the
corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this chapter.
❒ replace blown bulbs with others of the
same type and power;
❒ after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or
damp or after heavy rain or after
washing, the surface of headlights or rear
lights may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault and
does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist
disappears quickly turning the lights on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser,
extending progressively towards the
edges.
85)The use of hazard warning lights is
governed by the Highway Code of the
country you are driving in: comply with
legal requirements.
IMPORTANT
86)Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried out
properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
87) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
88) Due to the high supply voltage, gas
discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be
replaced by specialised personnel: danger
of death! Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
9)Halogen bulbs must be handled by
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the
bulb dry.
WARNING

111
116)Alfa 4C is designed and produced
for road use, in compliance with the
current regulations. Car use in the track
must be considered as occasional and in
any case under the responsibility of the
user. The car CANNOT be modified or
tampered with for any reason; this would
alter the Manufacturer homologation
and/or safety requirements. Using a
modified or tampered product relieves
the Manufacturer from any responsibility
on the product and may expose people to
serious risks.
117)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present,
with the risk of fire.
118)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned.
119)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). WARNING: risk of burns!
120)The cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with
another original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely affected.
Do not remove the reservoir plug when
the engine is hot: you risk scalding
yourself.
IMPORTANT121)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation
of the system without fluid could damage
or cause rapid deterioration of some
system components.
122) Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
123)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap.
Then rinse thoroughly. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
124) The πsymbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is
different from a mineral fluid. Using a
mineral fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
14)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with one another! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
15)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
16)Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already in the
engine.
17)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used in
the engine cooling system; use the same
fluid type as that already in the cooling
system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with other
types of anti-freeze fluids. In the event of
topping up with an unsuitable product,
under no circumstances start the engine
and contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
18)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
19)Be very careful when restoring /
topping up the brake fluid level, as it may
be leaking from the extension pipe, inside
the vehicle bonnet and parts of
windscreen and body, causing corrosion
damages. Provide for the use of
appropriate guards (e.g. absorbent paper)
in order to limit this risk at most.
WARNING
4)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to go to a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership to have
the oil and filters changed.
