2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta low oil pressure

Dual Pinion active steering
failure (red)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
but it should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you may not
have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering
wheel could be notably increased; steering is, however, possible.
In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
The display will show the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The warning light switches on to indicate this. To carry out
this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.CONSTANTLY ON: Low engine
oil pressure (red)
FLASHING: Engine oil deteriorated
(for versions/markets, where provided - red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes on, but should
go out as soon as the engine is started.1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together (for versions/
markets, where provided) with a message on the display when the
system detects that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If the
warning light turns on when driving (on
some versions, together with the message on the display),
stop the car immediately and contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will start to flash together with the specific message
on the display (for versions/markets, where provided).
Depending on the versions, the warning light flashing modes are as
follows:
❒for 1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light off for 5
seconds until the oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the warning light will
continue flashing as described above until the oil is changed. The
display shows a dedicated message (for versions/markets, where
provided) together with the warning light. The flashing of this warning
light should not be considered as a fault; it informs the customer that
the oil needs to be changed following normal car use. Remember that
the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration
process more frequent;
