sage is displayed automatically when the key is turned to MAR,
from 2,000 km (or equivalent value in miles) when the next ser-
vice is due and is displayed again every 200 km (or equivalent
value in miles). Below 200 km the signals become more frequent.
The indication will appear in kilometres or miles depending on
the unit of measurement settings. When the next scheduled ser-
vice is approaching and the key is turned to MAR, the word Ser-
vice will appear on the display, followed by the number of kilo-
metres or miles left. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services where
the “Planned Maintenance Programme” operations will be per-
formed and the message will be reset.

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip Computer displays information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR. This function is composed by separate
trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B” which can monitor the entire mis-
sion (journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both trips can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Autonomy
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time). With the function“Trip B” is possible to display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Journey time B (driving time).
“Trip B” may be turned off (see “Trip B on” paragraph). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be reset.
