When the remaining range is lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display will show a warning
message.
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 ring nut is turned
to the ON position (see the “Cruise Control” paragraph in this section).
The display will show the dedicated message.DPF (diesel particulate filter)
cleaning in progress (only
diesel versions with DPF)
(amber)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system
needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration,
but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To switch the warning light off, the car must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes. Optimal conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with
engine revs above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a car failure
and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
On some versions, together with the warning light, the display shows a
dedicated message.
The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic
and weather conditions and the driver must always
comply with the Highway Code. The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until
the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration
with the car stationary.Speed limit exceeded (red)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provided) comes on
when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h.

When the car exceeds the speed limit set in the Set-up Menu (e.g. 120
km/h), on some versions a message and a symbol are shown in the
display and an acoustic signal is activated.
CRUISE CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)GENERAL INFORMATIONThis is an electronically controlled driving assistance device which
allows driving at a chosen speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations (e.g. motorways), without
having to depress the accelerator pedal.
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with traffic is not therefore
recommended. Do not use it in town.TURNING THE DEVICE ONTurn ring nut A fig. 42 to ON.
The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor reverse gear: it is advisable to
engage it in 5
thgear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car may slightly
exceed the stored speed.When the device is activated, the
warning light switches on
together with the relevant message on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided).
STORING THE CAR SPEEDProceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 42 to ON and press the accelerator to reach the
required speed.
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed is now memorised and you can therefore release the
accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you release the pedal, the car goes
back to the speed set previously.RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEEDIf the device has been disengaged by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal, the stored speed can be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until a speed approaching the one stored is
reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time that the speed was stored;
❒press the RES button (B fig. 42).INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEEDPress the accelerator and store the new speed or move the lever
upwards (+).
Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an increase in speed of
about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held upwards will continuously
increase the speed.
