WINDSCREEN WASHER LIQUID
121) 122)
To check the windscreen washer fluid
level, proceed as follows:
❒ to avoid any interference during the
procedure, lift the windscreen wiper
blade according to the “Windscreen
wiper” paragraph in the “Servicing and
care” chapter;
❒ undo the 4 self-tapping screws
1 fig. 90 using the supplied screwdriver,
the remove the bonnet grille;
❒ release the plug from the opening;
❒ leaving the plug close to the opening,
put a finger on the central hole 2 fig. 91 in
the plug and remove it: the level can be
seen on the control pipe 3 fig. 92 by
capillarity;
90A0L0130
❒ after the check, reinsert the plug 2
with the control pipe 3 in the initial
position;
❒ put the bonnet grille back and fasten
the 4 self-tapping screws 1 again.
WARNING Re-close the plug holding it
horizontally (not directed towards the
bonnet) to prevent the opening tang from
remaining locked in a position difficult to
reach.
It is recommended to check the
windscreen washer fluid regularly, in
particular in driving conditions needing a
heavier use of the windscreen washer.
91A0L0131
If the level is not sufficient, namely if
there is no fluid inside the pipe, proceed

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.
WARNING

IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
6)Detergents pollute water. Only wash
your vehicle in areas equipped to collect
and treat wastewater from this type of
activity.
WARNING
24)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car.
25)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the vehicle. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible)
parking the vehicle under trees; remove
vegetable resins immediately as, when
dried, it may only be possible to remove
them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windscreen
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due
to outside temperature conditions.
IMPORTANT
INTERIOR
130) 131)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interiors, beneath the mats, also to
prevent damage to carbon parts.
To remove and reposition the mats in the
passenger compartment, proceed as
follows:
❒ undo the screws with folding ring 1
fig. 103, driver side and passenger side;
❒ separate the Velcro fabric strips 2 in
the front area under the mats, lifting
them from the floor.
Reposition the mats on the floor, making
sure that the holes at the back of the
mats coincide with the screw housings on
the floor.
