Fuel reser ve – Limited range (amber)
This warning light comes on when about 8 to 10 litres
of fuel are left in the tank. A warning message will ap-
pear on the display (some versions only) when the re-
maining range less than approximately 50 km (or equivalent in
miles).K
If the warning light flashes with the car in motion,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
Cruise Control (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when the key is turned to
MAR, but should go out after a few seconds if the Cruise
Control function is off. The warning light comes on when the Cruise
Control wheel is turned to the ON position (see the “Cruise Con-
trol” paragraph in this chapter). A specific message appears on the
display.Ü
DPF (particulate trap) cleaning in
progress (diesel versions with DPF
only) (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
turns on but should go off after a few seconds. The warning light
stays on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regenera-
tion, but only when driving conditions require notification to the dri-
ver. The warning light will go off if the car stays in motion until
regeneration has been completed.
The process normally takes about 15 minutes. Optimal conditions
for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h
with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
Operation of this warning light does not indicate a fault and the car
does not need to be taken to a workshop. A specific message will
appear on the display when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
