2015 Alfa Romeo 4C phone

Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing an Alfa Romeo. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the
features of your car and use it in the best possible way. You should read it right through before taking to the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the maximum from your Alfa Romeo's
technological features. It also provides a description of special features and essential information for the care and maintenance of your Alfa
Romeo over time as well as for safe driving.
We urge you to read the warnings and indications found throughout the text with care, marked with the following symbols:
personal safety;
car safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are reported at the end of each paragraph and are followed by a number. That number recalls the
corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Alfa Romeo offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new car and the service provided by the people at Alfa Romeo.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a truly exclusive car in terms of content and technology; for this reason and to guarantee the highest level of service, Alfa
Romeo has provided a dedicated Dealership for 4C customers. Up-to-date information on service centres is available on freephone number
00 800 2532 4200 (should this number be unavailable, use the international toll number +39 02 44412 987, or anyway refer to the instructions
in the Warranty Booklet).
Enjoy reading and happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Alfa Romeo 4C; please consider only the information relevant to your
car’s trim level, engine and version. All data contained in this publication is purely indicative. Fiat Group Automobiles can
modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication at any time, for technical or marketing
purposes. For further information, contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.

Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
authorises the installation of transceiver
devices on condition that such
installations are carried out in
a workmanlike fashion, following the
manufacturer’s instructions, at a
specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either
directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not
be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not
supplied or recommended by Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the
provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.IMPORTANT The use of these devices
inside the passenger compartment
(without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle’s electronic systems to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers' health.
As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.
WARNING
44) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers or non-standard alloy
wheels: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency in sharp,
repeated braking or on long
descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats,
etc.).
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located in the rear bumper
fig. 53 and their function is to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the
rear part of the car; they consequently
inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the car gets closer, the
acoustic signal becomes more
frequent.

Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed
as follows to reintroduce fuel to the
tank:
❒take the dedicated funnel C fig. 58
from the tool kit located in the
luggage compartment;
❒open flap A, pulling it outwards;
❒insert funnel C in the filler as
illustrated in fig. 58 and refuel;
❒after refuelling, remove the funnel and
close the flap;
❒finally, put the funnel back in its case
and put this back in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is
washed with a high-pressure jet, keep
it at a distance of at least 20 cm.
WARNING
55) Do not apply any object/plug to
the end of the filler which is not
provided for the car. The use
of non-compliant objects/plugs
could cause a pressure increase
inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
56) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank
filler: fire risk. Avoid bringing your
face close to the filler, in order
not to breathe in harmful vapours.
57) Do not use a mobile phone near
the fuel pump: risk of fire.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:
catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and
evaporation control system.
Do not let the engine run, even for a
test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
58)
WARNING
58) Under operating conditions, the
catalytic converter becomes very
hot. Therefore, do not park the car
on flammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles etc.)
to avoid the risk of fire.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
For years, Alfa Romeo has pursued a global commitment to protect and respect the environment by continually improving its
production processes and developing increasingly eco-compatible products. To ensure its customers the best possible service
in compliance with environmental standards and in response to obligations arising out of European Directive 2000/53/EC on
end of life vehicles, Alfa Romeo offers its customers the chance to hand back their vehicles (*) at the end of their life cycle at no
additional cost.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of its market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1 January 2007, vehicles registered
after 1 July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of
registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional
waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships or an Alfa Romeo authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection,
treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealerships, by
calling the freephone number 00800 2532 4200 or on the Alfa Romeo website.
