❒use of the car for short drives, in which the engine does not have
time to reach its regular operating temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled by the
DPF warning light coming on.
If the warning light switches on, the deteriorated
engine oil must be changed as soon as possible, and
never more than 500 km from the first time that the
warning light switches on. Failure to observe the above may
result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that the operation of this warning light is
not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never
top up with oil when the warning light starts flashing.Engine coolant overheating
(red)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.
The display will show the dedicated message.
If the warning light comes on when driving, proceed as follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. In this case, 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 reference
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If the
warning light comes on again at the next engine start-up, contact
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.❒If the car is used under demanding conditions (e.g. towing trailers
uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Stand for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to promote a better circulation of coolant. Then
stop the engine. Check the correct liquid level as described above.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the car, it is advisable to keep the
engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before switching it
off.
Doors not closed correctly
(red)(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) lights up when one or
more doors or the tailgate are not closed correctly. 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 closed correctly.EOBD/injection system failure
(amber)
Under normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON,
the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the
engine is started.

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.

SYMBOLSSome car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that summarises all the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition
key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition device. The
modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is
the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.OPERATIONEach time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the
Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement
code to the engine management control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE
system deactivates the functions of the engine management control
unit. If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. If you are
still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)ALARM ACTIVATIONThe alarm activates in the following cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door/bonnet/luggage compartment
(perimeter protection);
❒wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned to MAR);
❒cutting of the battery cables;
❒movement inside the passenger compartment (volumetric protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the car (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and visual signal
(flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The alarm
activation modes may vary according to the market. 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 adapted to meet requirements in various
countries.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARMWith the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned to
STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control towards the
car, then press and release the
button. Except for specific markets,
the system emits a visual and acoustic signal and enables door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage precedes the switching on of the alarm: in the
event of faults, the system will generate a further acoustic and/or
visual signal through the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emitted
and/or a visual signal via the LED on the dashboard, wait about
4 seconds and switch off the alarm by pressing the
button, check
that the doors, bonnet and luggage compartment are closed correctly
and then reactivate the system by pressing the
