Alfa Romeo 4C (2018 year). Manual — part 15

Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs and

additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have

experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced

immediately with another Run Flat tire of identical size

and service description (Load Index and Speed Sym-

bol).
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 50 miles

(80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after a rapid loss of

inflation pressure. This rapid loss of inflation is referred

to as the Run Flat mode. A Run Flat mode occurs when

the tire inflation pressure is of/or below 14 psi (96 kPa).

Once a Run Flat tire reaches the run flat mode it has

limited driving capabilities and needs to be replaced

immediately. A Run Flat tire is not repairable.
It is not recommended driving a vehicle loaded at full

capacity or to tow a trailer while a tire is in the run flat

mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for more infor-

mation.

Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do

not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h)

or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without

stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In Case Of

Emergency” for further information.

WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener-
ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire
damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure
someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster
than 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds
continuously when you are stuck, and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the
speed.

Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment

tires to help you in determining when your tires should

be replaced.

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread

grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread

depth becomes a 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm). When the

tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire

should be replaced. Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this

section for further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying

factors including, but not limited to:
• Driving style.
• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures

can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the

tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce

tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire replace-

ment.

• Distance driven.
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or

higher, and Summer tires typically have a reduced

tread life. Rotation of these tires per the vehicle

scheduled maintenance is highly recommended.

WARNING!

Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six
years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to

follow this warning can result in sudden tire fail-
ure. You could lose control and have a collision
resulting in serious injury or death.

Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little

exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact

with oil, grease, and gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many

characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for

wear and correct cold tire inflation pressures. The manu-

facturer strongly recommends that you use tires equiva-

lent to the originals in size, quality and performance

when replacement is needed. Refer to the paragraph on

“Tread Wear Indicators” in this section. Refer to the Tire

and Loading Information placard or the Vehicle Certifi-

cation Label for the size designation of your tire. The

Load Index and Speed Symbol for your tire will be found

on the original equipment tire sidewall.
See the Tire Sizing Chart example found in the “Tire

Safety Information” section of this manual for more

information relating to the Load Index and Speed

Symbol of a tire.

It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two

rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously

affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a

wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match

those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact your authorized tire

dealer or original equipment dealer with any questions

you may have on tire specifications or capability. Fail-

ure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely

affect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.

WARNING!

• Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or speed

rating other than that specified for your vehicle.
Some combinations of unapproved tires and
wheels may change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics, resulting in changes to
steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
This can cause unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension components. You could
lose control and have a collision resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. Use only the tire and wheel
sizes with load ratings approved for your vehicle.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 231

WARNING! (Continued)

• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or

capacity, other than what was originally equipped
on your vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load
index could result in tire overloading and failure.
You could lose control and have a collision.

• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having

adequate speed capability can result in sudden
tire failure and loss of vehicle control.

CAUTION!

Replacing original tires with tires of a different size
may result in false speedometer and odometer read-
ings.

Tire Types

All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons (Spring,

Summer, Fall, and Winter). Traction levels may vary

between different all season tires. All season tires can be

identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or MS designation on

the tire sidewall. Use all season tires only in sets of four;

failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and

handling of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry

conditions, and are not intended to be driven in snow or

on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with Summer tires, be

aware these tires are not designed for Winter or cold

driving conditions. Install Winter tires on your vehicle

when ambient temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or

if roads are covered with ice or snow. For more infor-

mation, contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designation or

mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall. Use

Summer tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may

adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions.
You could lose vehicle control, resulting in severe
injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions also
creates the possibility of loss of vehicle control.

232 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires

during the Winter. Snow tires can be identified by a

“mountain/snowflake” symbol on the tire sidewall.

If you need snow tires, select tires

equivalent in size and type to the

original equipment tires. Use snow

tires only in sets of four; failure to do

so may adversely affect the safety

and handling of your vehicle.

Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than

what was originally equipped with your vehicle and

should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph

(120 km/h). For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer

to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for

recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold

tire inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid

and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces may be

poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states

prohibit studded tires; therefore, local laws should be

checked before using these tire types.

Spare Tires — If Equipped

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit

instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire Service Kit”

in “In Case Of Emergency” for further information.

CAUTION!

Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not
take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
with a compact or limited use temporary spare
installed. Damage to the vehicle may result.

Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And
Wheel — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and

wheel equivalent in look and function to the original

equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear

axle of your vehicle. This spare tire may be used in the

tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this

option, refer to an authorized tire dealer for the recom-

mended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use

only. You can identify if your vehicle is equipped with

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 233

a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description

on the Tire and Loading Information Placard located on

the driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall of the

tire. Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the

letter “T” or “S” preceding the size designation. Ex-

ample: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equip-

ment tire should be repaired (or replaced) and rein-

stalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a

conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the

wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare

tire. Do not install more than one compact spare tire and

wheel on the vehicle at any given time.

WARNING!

Compact and collapsible spares are for temporary
emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive
more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares
have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to
the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare

warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do
so could result in spare tire failure and loss of
vehicle control.

Collapsible Spare Tire — If Equipped
The collapsible spare is for temporary emergency use

only. You can identify if your vehicle is equipped with

a collapsible spare by looking at the spare tire descrip-

tion on the Tire and Loading Information Placard

located on the driver’s side door opening or on the

sidewall of the tire.
Collapsible spare tire description example: 165/80-17

Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equip-

ment tire should be repaired (or replaced) and rein-

stalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is properly

installed to the vehicle. Inflate the collapsible tire using

the electric air pump before lowering the vehicle.

234 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a

conventional tire on the collapsible spare wheel, since

the wheel is designed specifically for the collapsible

spare tire.

WARNING!

Compact and Collapsible spares are for temporary
emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive
more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares
have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to
the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare
tire needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the
warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do
so could result in spare tire failure and loss of
vehicle control.

Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only.

This tire may look like the originally equipped tire on

the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This

spare tire may have limited tread life. When the tread is

worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use

full size spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not

the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or

repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the

vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency

use only. This tire is identified by a label located on the

limited use spare wheel. This label contains the driving

limitations for this spare. This tire may look like the

original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your

vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited use

spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the

same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair)

the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle

at the first opportunity.

WARNING!

Limited use spares are for emergency use only.

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and

chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly

using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water to maintain

their luster and to prevent corrosion. Wash wheels with

the same soap solution recommended for the body of

the vehicle and remember to always wash when the

surfaces are not hot to the touch.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration caused by

salt, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium

chloride, etc., and other road chemicals used to melt ice

or control dust on dirt roads. Use a soft cloth or sponge

and mild soap to wipe away promptly. Do not use harsh

chemicals or a stiff brush. They can damage the wheel’s

protective coating that helps keep them from corroding

and tarnishing.

CAUTION!

Avoid products or automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or strong alkaline additives or
harsh brushes. Many aftermarket wheel cleaners
and automatic car washes may damage the wheel’s
protective finish. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap,
Mopar Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recom-
mended.

When cleaning extremely dirty wheels including exces-

sive brake dust, care must be taken in the selection of

tire and wheel cleaning chemicals and equipment to

prevent damage to the wheels. Mopar Wheel Treatment

or Mopar Chrome Cleaner or their equivalent is recom-

mended or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner for

aluminum or chrome wheels.

CAUTION!

Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle
brush, metal polishes or oven cleaner. These prod-
ucts may damage the wheel’s protective finish.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

CAUTION! (Continued)

Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap, Mopar
Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.

NOTE:

If you intend parking or storing your vehicle for

an extended period after cleaning the wheels with

wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle and apply the brakes

to remove the water droplets from the brake compo-

nents. This activity will remove the red rust on the

brake rotors and prevent vehicle vibration when brak-

ing.
Dark Vapor Chrome, Black Satin Chrome, or Low
Gloss Clear Coat Wheels

CAUTION!

If your vehicle is equipped with these specialty
wheels, DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives, or
polishing compounds. They will permanently dam-
age this finish and such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. HAND WASH
ONLY USING MILD SOAP AND WATER WITH A
SOFT CLOTH. Used on a regular basis; this is all
that is required to maintain this finish.

Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body

clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard

against damage.
• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as

recommended by the traction device manufacturer.

• Install on Rear Tires Only.
• Reduced size snow chains with a maximum projec-

tion of 7 mm beyond the tire profile can be fitted on

vehicles equipped with 235/40 R18 rear tire.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe
the following precautions:
• Because of restricted traction device clearance be-

tween tires and other suspension components, it is

important that only traction devices in good condi-

tion are used. Broken devices can cause serious

damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise

occurs that could indicate device breakage. Remove

the damaged parts of the device before further

use.

(Continued)

8

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 237

CAUTION! (Continued)

• Install device as tightly as possible and then

retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).

• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large

bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

• Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-

ment.

• Observe the traction device manufacturer’s in-

structions on the method of installation, operat-
ing speed, and conditions for use. Always use the
suggested operating speed of the device manufac-
turer’s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).

• Do not use traction devices on a compact spare

tire.

Tire Rotation Recommendations
Due to tire design and size, tire rotations on this vehicle

are not possible.

NOTE:

For AR 4C models, where available, the vehicle

may be equipped with high performance tires that

guarantee high grip performance with little increase of

wear. Alfa Romeo, in collaboration with Pirelli, devel-

oped a specific high performance tire for the 4C model.

A dedicated Pirelli PZero, identified with an AR mark,

guarantees this vehicle to obtain the highest perfor-

mance capable.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM
TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The following tire grading categories were estab-

lished by the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-

ministration. The specific grade rating assigned by

the tire’s manufacturer in each category is shown on

the sidewall of the tires on your vehicle.
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal

safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The Treadwear grade is a comparative rating, based

on the wear rate of the tire when tested under

controlled conditions on a specified government test

course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear

one and one-half times as well on the government

238 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance

of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their

use, however, and may depart significantly from the

norm due to variations in driving habits, service

practices, and differences in road characteristics and

climate.
Traction Grades
The Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA,

A, B, and C. These grades represent the tire’s ability

to stop on wet pavement, as measured under con-

trolled conditions on specified government test sur-

faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may

have poor traction performance.

WARNING!

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based
on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does
not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplan-
ing, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature Grades
The Temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,

representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of

heat and its ability to dissipate heat, when tested

under controlled conditions on a specified indoor

laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of

the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and

excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.

The grade C corresponds to a level of performance,

which all passenger vehicle tires must meet under

the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor-

mance on the laboratory test wheel, than the mini-

mum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established
for a tire that is properly inflated and not over-
loaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or ex-
cessive loading, either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat buildup and possible tire
failure.

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than

21 days, you may want to take these steps to protect

your battery.
• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of

service (e.g., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the

air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes

in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will

ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the

possibility of compressor damage when the system is

started again.

BODYWORK

Protection From Atmospheric Agents
Vehicle body care requirements vary according to geo-

graphic locations and usage. Chemicals that make roads

passable in snow and ice and those that are sprayed on

trees and road surfaces during other seasons are highly

corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,

which exposes your vehicle to airborne contaminants,

road surfaces on which the vehicle is operated, extreme

hot or cold weather and other extreme conditions will

have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and under-

body protection.
The following maintenance recommendations will en-

able you to obtain maximum benefit from the corrosion

resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal of

paint and protective coatings from your vehicle.
The most common causes are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.
• Stone and gravel impact.
• Insects, tree sap and tar.
• Salt in the air near seacoast localities.
• Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.
Body And Underbody Maintenance

Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights and

fog lights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone

breakage than glass headlights.

240 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore

different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and

reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To

remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution

followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,

steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the

lenses.
Preserving The Bodywork

Washing
• Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash your

vehicle in the shade using Mopar Car Wash, or a mild

car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with

clear water.

• If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have accumu-

lated on your vehicle, use Mopar Super Kleen Bug

and Tar Remover to remove.

• Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as Mopar

Cleaner Wax to remove road film, stains, and to

protect your paint finish. Take care never to scratch

the paint.

• Avoid using abrasive compounds and power buffing

that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint

finish.

NOTE:

Hand washing is recommended. Avoid washing

with power washers and do not use commercial car

wash facilities.

CAUTION!

• Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials

such as steel wool or scouring powder that will
scratch metal and painted surfaces.

• Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa)

can result in damage or removal of paint and decals.

• If the engine compartment is washed with an

high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of at least 8
inches (20 centimeters) from filler surface.

• Do not run this vehicle through an Automatic Car

Wash facility as extensive damage can result due
to the vehicle’s low ground clearance.

8

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 241

Special Care
• If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive

near the ocean, hose off the undercarriage at least

once a month.

• It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges

of the doors, rocker panels, and trunk be kept clear

and open.

• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint,

touch them up immediately. The cost of such repairs

is considered the responsibility of the owner.

• If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or

similar cause that destroys the paint and protective

coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as pos-

sible. The cost of such repairs is considered the

responsibility of the owner.

• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertiliz-

ers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are

well packaged and sealed.

• If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider

mud or stone shields behind each wheel.

• Use Mopar Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as

possible. Your authorized dealer has touch up paint

to match the color of your vehicle.

INTERIORS

Seats And Fabric Parts
Use Mopar Total Clean to clean fabric upholstery and

carpeting.

WARNING!

Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes.
Many are potentially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respiratory harm.

Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts with chemical

solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the

fabric. Sun damage can also weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use Mopar Total Clean, a mild

soap solution, or lukewarm water. Do not remove the

belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry with a soft

cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the

buckles do not work properly.

242 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

If the belts retract slowly, inspect the upper

turning loop for soiling. If soiling is present, clean with

a wet soft cloth until all residue is removed.

WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision
and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt
system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced imme-
diately. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a colli-
sion if they have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.).

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use Mopar Total Clean to clean vinyl upholstery.

CAUTION!

• Direct contact of air fresheners, insect repellents,

suntan lotions, or hand sanitizers to the plastic,

painted, or decorated surfaces of the interior may

Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are

molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care

must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution

may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or

abrasive cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a

clean damp cloth.

2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Mopar Total Clean is specifically recommended for

leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved by regu-

lar cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of

dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather

upholstery and should be removed promptly with a

damp cloth. Stubborn soils can be removed easily with

8

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 243

a soft cloth and Mopar Total Clean. Care should be

taken to avoid soaking your leather upholstery with

any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning

fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners

to clean your leather upholstery. Application of a

leather conditioner is not required to maintain the

original condition.
NOTE:

If equipped with light colored leather, it tends to

show any foreign material, dirt, and fabric dye transfer

more so than darker colors. The leather is designed for

easy cleaning, and FCA recommends Mopar total care

leather cleaner applied on a cloth to clean the leather

seats as needed.

CAUTION!

Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/or Ke-
tone based cleaning products to clean leather seats,
as damage to the seat may result.

Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis

with Mopar, or any commercial household-type glass

cleaner. Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use caution

when cleaning the inside rear window equipped. Do

not use scrapers or other sharp instrument that may

scratch the elements.
