REFUELLINGOnly 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. The use of petrol that does not conform to the specification indicated may cause the
Uwarning light to switch on and the irregular operation of the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINEMake 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 MATERIALThe catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: risk of fire.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Alfa Romeo Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle’s electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
IN THE OWNER HANDBOOK… you will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, driving and looking after your car properly.
Pay particular attention to the symbols (personal safety) (environmental protection) (car safety).
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe car is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission related components in order to help
protect the environment.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for the driver’s comfort and
safety as well as for all other road users.

the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility
conditions for all drivers.
Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the headlights
checked and adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are aligned
to comply with the regulations of the
country of purchase.
When in countries where you drive on the
other side of the road, you need to alter
the beam direction in order not to dazzle
the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction, proceeding as follows:
❒ open the protective flap 1 fig. 25 on
the inner wheel arch; it can be located by
steering the wheel completely;
15)The maximum permitted load in the
luggage compartment, in addition to the
kits provided, is 15 kg.
16)When accessing the rear boot,
take care with parts that may be hot,
owing to the adjacent engine
compartment. Danger of serious burns.
17)Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
18)The tailgate may drop
suddenly if the supporting rod
is not positioned correctly.
19)For safety reasons, the tailgate must
always be closed properly while the car is
travelling.
Therefore, always make sure that the
tailgate is closed properly and that the
lock is engaged. If you realise during
travel that the lock is not fully engaged,
stop immediately and close the tailgate in
the correct manner.
