WARNING LIGHTS ON PANELGeneral warnings
The warning lights switch on together with a dedicated message
and/or acoustic signal where appropriate.
These indications are concise and precautionary and, as such, must
not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information
contained in this Owner Handbook, which you are recommended to
read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this section in the event of a failure
indication.
Low brake fluid level (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on when the level
of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to leaks in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on when the
handbrake is engaged. If the car is moving the buzzer will also sound.

EBD failure
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and
(amber)
warning lights with the engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels
may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive with extreme caution straight to the nearest Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services to have the system checked.
The display will show the dedicated message.
ABS FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol on the display) lights up when the system
is inefficient. Under these circumstances the braking system will work
as normal without the extra performance offered by the ABS system.
Drive with caution and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as
soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated message.
Brake pad wear (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on when the

Airbag failure (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.

circumstances the airbags or pretensioners may not be triggered
in the event of an accident or, more rarely, they could be
triggered accidentally. Before proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services to have the system checked immediately.

front passenger airbag deactivated warning light
.
In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the airbags
on the passenger’s side (front airbag and side bags for
versions/markets, where provided). In this case, the

light may not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before
proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have the
system checked immediately.
Passenger side airbag/side
bags deactivated (amber)
The
warning light switches on when the front passenger side airbag
and side bag are disabled.

MAR, the
warning light switches on constantly for several seconds,
flashes for another few seconds and then should switch off.A failure of the
warning light is indicated by the
warning light switching on. In addition, the airbag
system automatically disables the airbags on the
passenger's side (front and side bags where provided). Before
proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have the
system checked immediately.
