Hot engine coolant (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is over-
heated. A specific message will be shown on the display.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❍when driving normally: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. If it is not, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with coolant
and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks.
Also visually check for leaks. If the warning light comes on again
at the next engine start-up, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices.
❍if the car is used under demanding conditions (e.g. towing trail-
ers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine run-
ning and slightly accelerated to assist better coolant circulation.
Then switch the engine off. Check correct fluid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding journeys, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes be-
fore switching it off.
u
Door open (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) comes
on when one or more doors or the boot are not perfectly
closed. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and
the car moving. On some versions, the warning light (or symbol
on the display) also lights up when the bonnet is not perfectly
closed.´
EOBD/injection system fault (amber)
Under normal conditions, the warning light comes on
when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but should
go off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving, that
means that the injection system is not working properly; in partic-
ular, if the warning light comes on constantly, this indicates a mal-
function in the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveabil-
ity and high fuel consumption.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, you can continue travelling at moderate
speed without demanding excessive effort from the engine. Pro-
longed use of the car with the warning light on may cause dam-
age. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears, but the in-
dication is stored in the system.U

ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
OPERATION OF THE ALARM
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❍unauthorised opening of doors/bonnet/boot (perimeter pro-
tection);
❍unauthorised operation of ignition system (ignition key rotat-
ed to MAR);
❍the battery cables cutting;
❍when someone is moving inside the passenger compartment
(volumetric protection);
❍anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and visual sig-
nal (flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The
alarm triggering modes may vary according to the markets. There
is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal operation.
IMPORTANT The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition
key is extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is configured to comply with the regulations
existing in different countries.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned
to STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control to-
wards the car, then press and release
Ábutton. Except specific
markets, the system produces a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the turning on of the alarm: In case
of faults the system will generate a further acoustic and/or visu-
al signal using the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emit-
ted and/or the LED on the dashboard flashes, wait about 4 sec-
onds and switch off the alarm by pressing
Ëbutton, check that the
doors, bonnet and boot are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pressing
Ábutton.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bon-
net and boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system
operation: in this case, go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated using the remote control, once
about 30 seconds have elapsed from when the ignition key was
turned to STOP and a door or the tailgate was last opened and
then closed, the alarm activates automatically. This is indicated
by the LED on the button A-fig. 20 lighting up intermittently and
the indications of activation described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
Ëbutton on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the doors are closed by turning
the metal insert of the key in the driver side door latch. If the sys-
tem self-activates, the doors are not locked.

switched off automatically.
The
3warning light on the instrument panel will light up (and
the corresponding message will appear on the display) as long as
the function is active.
The light comes on when the stalk is first moved and stays on un-
til the function is automatically deactivated. Each movement of the
