2016 Alfa Romeo 4C brake fluid

fig. 128 and remove the protection
panel;
check that the fluid is at the max.
level.
after checking, reposition the
protection panel and tighten the 2
self-tapping screws E.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is not
sufficient, proceed as follows:
take the black funnel for topping up
the brake fluid and its extension pipe
from the service kit in the luggage
compartment;
loosen the reservoir plug and
introduce the funnel F fig. 129 with the
extension pipe in the reservoir inlet;
after topping up, remove the funnel
F with the extension pipe;
tighten the reservoir plug;
reposition the protection panel and
tighten the 2 self-tapping screws E.WARNING Be very careful while
removing the plug from the opening to
prevent the plug from falling inside the
vehicle body.
IMPORTANT
22)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping up
with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
23)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
24)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.25)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
UP
may 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.
26)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
27)Be very careful while topping up the
brake fluid, as it could drip from the
extension pipe inside the vehicle
under-bonnet and on parts of the body and
windscreen, corroding and damaging
them. Adopt suitable protection (e.g
absorbing paper) to reduce this risk as
much as possible.
WARNING
118)The Alfa Romeo 4C is designed and
produced for road use, in compliance with
the current regulations. Vehicle use in the
track must be considered as occasional
and in any case under the responsibility of
the user. The vehicle 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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

119)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
120)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned.
121)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler plug, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium plug (for
versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING: risk of burns!
122)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original 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.
123)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.
124)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
125)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.
126)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
IMPORTANT
3)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.
AIR CLEANER
For cleaner replacement, contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
