2020 Alfa Romeo 4C dashboard

SAFETY
66
61)Do not apply stickers or other objects
to the steering wheel or the passenger
side airbag cover. Do not place objects on
the passenger side of the dashboard
because these could interfere with the
correct opening of the passenger airbag
and cause injury to occupants.
62)Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that the airbag
can inflate freely if necessary.
Do not drive with your body bent forward.
Keep your back straight against the
backrest.
63)Instructions for deactivating the
front passenger airbag can be found in
the “Menu Options” paragraph of the
“Knowing the instrument panel” chapter.
Please note that under these conditions
the airbag will NOT deploy when required
(accident).
64)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door to prevent injury during airbag
deployment.
65)Never lean head, arms or elbows out
of window.
IMPORTANT66)If the ¬warning light does not
switch on when the key is turned to MAR,
or stays on while driving (on some
versions, together with a message on the
display) there may be a fault in the
restraint systems. In this case, airbags or
pretensioners may not be activated in the
case of an accident or (in a lesser number
of cases) they may be activated
incorrectly. Before proceeding, contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.
67)Do not travel carrying objects on your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
68) If the car has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,
have the airbag system inspected at a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
69)The airbags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if the key is
inserted and turned to MAR even when
the engine is off, if the car is hit by
another moving vehicle. Also remember
that no safety device (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of impact when the key is at STOP.
Non-deployment of these devices under
these circumstances does not therefore
indicate a system malfunction.70)When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the
“warning light comes on
constantly for the first 4 seconds.
Then, if the warning light remains on, this
means the passenger’s protection has
been deactivated; if the warning light
switches off, instead, the passenger’s
protection is enabled.
71)The front airbag is designed to be
deployed for impacts of a greater
intensity than for the pretensioners. For
impacts whose intensity falls between
the two levels, normally, only the
pretensioners will be activated.
72)The airbag does not replace seat
belts but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed
for low-speed frontal impacts, side
collisions, rear shunts or rollovers,
occupants are protected only by their
seat belts, which must always be
fastened.

The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each fuse
is shown on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you
close cover 2 on the fuse box.

SERVICING AND CARE
118
Proceed as follows to reposition:
❒ tighten the screws with folding ring
1 fig. 103 in the housings on the floor;
❒ unite the Velcro fabric strips 2 of the

132)
SEATS AND FABRIC OR
MICROFIBRE PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
For cleaning microfibre upholstery
(on some versions, including steering
wheel).
It is advisable to moisten the brush.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
LEATHER SEATS
(where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or
slightly damp cloth, without exerting too
much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using
an absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing.
Then clean with a soft cloth or buckskin
cloth dampened with water and mild
soap. If the stain persists, use specific
products and observe the instructions
carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol.
Make sure that the cleaning products
used contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.
PLASTIC, CARBON AND
COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic and visible carbon
parts with a damp cloth (if possible made
from microfibre), and a solution of water
and neutral, non-abrasive detergent.
To clean oily or persistent stains, use
specific products free from solvents and
designed to maintain the original
appearance and colour of the
components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth,
if necessary moistened with water.
The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.
26)
LEATHER UPHOLSTERY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean
these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.
Before using a specific product for
cleaning interiors, make sure that it does
not contain spirit and/or alcohol based
substances.
130)Never use flammable products, such
as petroleum ether or modified petrol, to
clean the inside of the car. The
electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the cleaning
operation may cause a fire.
131)Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
danger of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a
temperature exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight,
the internal temperature can greatly
exceed this value.
132)It is essential that there is nothing
under the pedals: make sure the mats are
lying flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
IMPORTANT
26)Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.
