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.
