FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WITH
RESERVE INDICATOR
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
0- tank empty.
1- tank full (see the indications given in
paragraph “At the filling station").
The warning light
K(A-fig. 76) turns on
to indicate that approx. 7 litres of fuel are
left in the tank.
IMPORTANTThe pointer can reach the
red area also for a sum of unfavourable con-
ditions, i.e.: slow speed, uphill, fully laden
or towing a trailer with hot outside tempera-
ture.
IMPORTANTRefuelling shall always be
performed with engine off and ignition key at
STOP. If the engine is off but the key is at
MAR, a wrong fuel level could temporarily
be indicated. This is due to the internal sys-
tem control logic and cannot be considered as
a system malfunctioning.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
TEMPERATURE GAUGE WITH
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE
WARNING LIGHT
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins when the fluid tem-
perature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Normally the pointer should be towards
the middle of the scale. If the pointer reach-
es the higher temperatures of the scale (red
section, or white on certain versions) the re-
quest for car performance should be de-
creased.
The turning on of the
u(B-fig. 76)
warning light (on some versions together
with the message shown on the reconfig-
urablemultifunctiondisplay) indicates that
the coolant fluid temperature is too high;
in this case, stop the engine and contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.IMPORTANTThe temperature of the en-
gine coolant may rise towards the maximum
values (red section, or white on certain ver-
sions) when the car is driven at low speeds,
especially when the ambient air tempera-
ture is high. In this case it is advisable to
stop the car and switch off the engine for
a few minutes, after which the journey can
be resumed, preferably at a higher speed.
