This function is characterised by two
separate records, called “Trip A” and
“Trip B”, where the car’s “complete
missions” (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner.
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start of a
new journey.
“Trip A” can be used to display the values
relating to:
❒ Range
❒ Distance travelled
❒ Average consumption
❒ Instantaneous consumption
❒ Average speed
❒ Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Trip time (driving time).
The “Trip B” function may be excluded.
“Range” and “Instant consumption” values
cannot be reset.

Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services if you wish to
permanently deactivate the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder)
system buzzer.
The system can be reactivated using the Set-up Menu.
EBD FAULT
The simultaneous switching on of the x(red) and >
(amber) warning lights with the engine on, indicates either
a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not
available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock
and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.
AIRBAG FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches
on, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light on indicates an airbag system failure.
The display shows the dedicated message.
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
(where provided)
The warning light remains on steadily with the car at
stationary and the driver’s seat belt not correctly
fastened.
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
buzzer when, with car moving, driver’s seat belt are not
fastened correctly.

45
Warning lights on panelMeaningWhat to do
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol and corresponding message appear on the
display if a fault is detected in one of the following lights:
❒ daytime running lights (DRLs)
❒ side lights
❒ dipped beam headlights
❒ direction indicators
❒ rear fog lights
❒ reversing lights
❒ number plate lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or more
blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a break in the
electrical connection.
Check and replace the concerned fuses as shown in the
“If a fuse blows” paragraph in the “In an emergency”
chapter; if this does not solve the fault, check and replace
the concerned bulbs as described in “Replacing an exterior
bulb” in the “In an emergency” chapter.
Should this operation also fail to resolve the fault, contact
the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership, for a
comprehensive check of the electrical system.
SERVICE (SCHEDULED SERVICING)
The digital warning light appears automatically, together
with an associated message, with the key at MAR, starting
from 2,000 km (or equivalent distance in miles) from the
next scheduled servicing operation and shown again every
200 km (or equivalent distance in miles).Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
The operations of the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will be
performed and the message will be reset.

53
TPMS
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the car.
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressure to vary.
This means that a decrease in the
outside temperature corresponds to a
decrease in the tyre pressure.
The tyre pressure must always be
adjusted according to the cold tyre
inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the car at a
standstill for at least three hours or a
travel shorter than 1.6 km after an
interval of three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must not
exceed the maximum pressure indicated
on the tyre sidewall.Tyre pressure increases also while
driving: this is a normal condition and no
pressure adjustment is needed.
The TPMS continues to advise the driver
of the low tyre pressure condition until
this is corrected; the warning continues
until the pressure corresponds or
exceeds the pressure prescribed for the
cold tyres. When the low tyre pressure
warning light
nappears on the
instrument panel, the inflation pressure
must be adjusted up to the prescribed
cold inflation value.
The tyre pressure warning light switches
off after the system refreshes
automatically. You may need to drive the
car for about 20 minutes at a speed
higher than 20 km/h to allow the TPMS
to receive this information.
NOTE
❒ The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒ The TPMS must not be used as a
pressure gauge while adjusting tyre
pressure❒ Driving with low tyre pressure causes
overheating and may cause a fault in the
tyres themselves. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency and tyre
tread life and may also affect handling
and braking performance of the car.
❒ The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance.
It is up to the driver to maintain the
correct tyre pressure level measuring it
with a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light to
switch on.
❒ The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure.
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
❒ The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.

STARTING AND DRIVING
70
TCT TWIN CLUTCH
TRANSMISSION
Alfa 4C features the TCT 6-speed twin
dry clutch transmission with steering
wheel controls. This is an advanced
technical solution which combines the
control of a manual gearbox, the
immediacy of a sequential system and
the convenience of being able to select an
automatic selection programme without
the slowdown of a conventional
automatic transmission.
With the key removed from the ignition,
the system will not implement any action
when the buttons on the transmission
control panel on the central tunnel fig. 43
are pressed, irrespective of the pressure
applied to the brake pedal.
43A0L0067
Therefore, the transmission will remain in
the condition that it was in when the
engine was switched off.
With car stationary and key at MAR
(ignition-operated electrical services
activated), the screen displays the gear
engaged and the active operating mode
(automatic = AUTO or manual = no
display).
OPERATING MODE
The transmission can operate in two
operating modes (except when the “Race”
mode is selected):
❒ the first manual type (MANUAL), in
which the driver decides directly when to
change gear;
❒ the second completely automatic
(AUTO), in which the system decides
when to change gear.
When the “Race” mode is selected, the
only allowed operating mode is MANUAL.
Manual operation (MANUAL)
In this operating mode, the driver is
responsible for choosing the best gear
ratio to engage, depending on the car
operating conditions.Use the “+” steering wheel stalk to
engage a higher gear, or the “–” stalk to
engage a lower gear (see the following
paragraph, “Steering wheel stalks”).
If the request is accepted by the system,
the display shows the new gear engaged.
If the request is not accepted by the
system, the display shows the gear
engaged before the request and emits an
acoustic signal.
If the gear change request may adversely
affect the correct operation of the engine
and the transmission, the system will not
allow it.

93)Before replacing a fuse, make sure the ignition key has been removed and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
94)Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), transmission system (engine, gearbox) or steering system
general protection fuse blows.
IMPORTANT
10)Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or other material.
11)If you need to wash the engine compartment, take care not to aim the jet of water directly at the fuse box.
WARNING

93
At the end of the operation
Proceed as follows:
❒ reposition the space-saver wheel;
❒ place the jack and the other tools in
the container;
❒ arrange the container and tools in the
luggage compartment.
95)The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your vehicle: do
not use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on
your vehicle. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in the event of an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On
the space-saver wheel there is an orange
label, summarising the main warnings
regarding space-saver wheel usage
restrictions. Never remove or cover the
label. The label contains the following
indications in four languages: “Warning!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace by standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication”.
IMPORTANT
96)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your car is
stationary in compliance with regulations.
Passengers should get out of the car,
particularly if it is heavily loaded, and
wait for the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. On hills or uneven roads,
use chocks or appropriate objects to
block the wheels of the vehicle.
97) The vehicle’s driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration
and braking, abrupt steering and fast
cornering. The overall duration of the
space-saver wheel is about 3000 km,
after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a
rim that is designed for use with a space-
saver wheel. Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Using two or
more space-saver wheels at the same
time is forbidden.
Do not grease the threads of the stud
bolts before fitting them: they might slip
out when driving!98) The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on
other vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never position yourself under
a jacked vehicle. If any work under the
vehicle is necessary, contact the Alfa
Romeo Service Network. Incorrectly
positioning the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than the one shown on its label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Thus, lift the vehicle
only as needed in order to access the
spare tyre.
99) The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains.

SERVICING AND CARE
102
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Alfa Romeo has programmed
a series of checks and servicing
operations every 20,000 km.
Check the items on the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check
level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.)
before 20,000 km and then between the
services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by the
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership at
predefined intervals. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with the owner’s explicit
agreement only.
IMPORTANT NOTES
2000 km before the maintenance is due,
a dedicated message appears on the
display, along with warning light.
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
It is advisable to inform the dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.
