ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!REFUELLING
Only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95, in compliance with the European specification EN228. In
particular, the 4C’s engine 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) of 98 or higher. The use
of petrol that does not conform to the specification indicated may cause the
warning light to switch on and the irregular
operation of the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make 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 MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after purchasing the car, you want to install accessories that require an electrical supply (with the risk of gradually draining the
battery), contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership which will calculate the overall electrical consumption and check that the
car’s electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

REFUELLING THE
CAR
IN BRIEF
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 4C’s engine 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) of 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. IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
FILLING THE TANK
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Avoid
further top-ups, which could cause
faults in the fuel supply 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. 56
located inside the fuel flap. The label
also indicates the fuel type (UNLEADED
FUEL=petrol).
Procedure
❒
open flap A fig. 57, 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 A.
Flap A fig. 57 is provided with a dust
cover gaiter B which prevents deposits
of impurities and dust at the end of
the filler when the flap is closed.
