Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redALFA TCT FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light flashes (together with a
message in the display and an acoustic signal) to
indicate that the transmission is faulty.
The warning light can switch on even in case of
transmission overheating, after a particularly
demanding use. In this case an engine
performance limitation is carried out.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
If it is necessary to start the engine with a
transmission failure, follow the procedure
described in the "Alfa TCT" paragraph, in chapter
"Starting and driving".redINCOMPLETE DOOR LOCKING
(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.redSPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the car
exceeds the speed limit value set in the Setup
Menu (e.g. 120 km/h).
On some versions a message is shown along
with a symbol on the display, and an acoustic
signal is emitted.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberINJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In 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.
The operation of
warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the
laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.
13)
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst
driving, it means that the injection system is not working
properly. In particular, the warning light on constantly
signals a malfunction in the injection/ignition system
which could cause high exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and high
consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated
message.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears: the
indication is stored in the system.Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at a moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on constantly may cause
damage.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic
converter may be damaged.In this case, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue the journey at moderate
speed, trying to avoid driving conditions
that may cause further flashing and
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

FRONT SEATS (warning
light no. 1 = driver and
no. 5 = passenger)
Driver
If the driver is the only occupant and
their seat belt is not fastened, when 20
km/h is exceeded or when travelling
at a speed between 10 and 20 km/h for
longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic
signal cycle will be started for the front
seats (continuous acoustic signal for
6 seconds followed by a 90 second
beep). The warning light will flash.
The warning lights will stay on
constantly at the end of the cycle until
the engine is stopped. The acoustic
signal will be interrupted immediately
when the driver’s seat belt is fastened
and the warning light will turn green.
The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual)
will be repeated as described above
and the red warning light will flash if the
seat belt is unfastened again while
travelling.
Passenger
A similar situation applies to the front
passenger, with the difference that the
warning light turns green and the
indication is also interrupted when the
passenger leaves the car.If both front seat belts are unfastened a
few seconds apart while the car is
travelling, the acoustic signal will refer
to the most recent event and the two
warning lights will proceed with the
visual indication independently.
REAR SEATS (warning
light no. 2, no. 3 and
no. 4)
For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is
only activated when any seat belt is
unfastened (flashing red).
In this condition, the warning light for
the seat belt which has been
unfastened will flash (red) for
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic
signal is also emitted.
The visual indication (flashing red) will
start and stop independently for each
warning light if several seat belts are
unfastened. The warning light will
become green when the relevant seat
belt is fastened again.
The rear seat warning lights will switch
off, regardless of the state of the belt
(red or green) approximately 30
seconds after the last signal.IMPORTANT
The warning lights are all off if all seat
belts (front and rear) are already
fastened when the ignition key is turned
to MAR.
All warning lights switch on when at
least one belt changes from fastened to
unfastened or vice versa.

SAFETY

ENGINE SWITCHING OFF
Engine can be switched off in any
position of the gear lever.
Versions with
Start&Stop system
To switch the engine off, you need to
stop the car by pressing the brake
pedal properly; if the pressure is not
enough, the engine will not be switched
off.
This feature can be exploited so that
the engine does not switch off in
particular traffic conditions.
Ignition key removal
The ignition key can be removed only if
the gear lever is in position P:
❒if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in position P: the ignition
key can be removed within 30
seconds;
❒if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in a position other than P:
the P letter on the display and on
the gear lever trim flashes for 5
seconds and an acoustic signal will
be emitted at the same time. Move
the lever to P within 5 seconds; then
it will be possible to remove the
ignition key for about 30 seconds.In both cases, if the described
conditions and times are not respected,
the ignition key will be automatically
locked.
To remove the key, turn it to MAR-ON
and then to STOP.
IMPORTANT If the battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position. To remove the key
manually, pull up the handbrake and
insert the screwdriver supplied in the
hole under the dashboard fig. 133
pressing slightly, until the key is
removed.MOVING THE CAR
To move the car, from P press the
brake pedal and, using the button on
the gear lever, move the lever to the
desired position (D, R or "Sequential
mode").
The display will show the gear
engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the
car starts moving forwards or
backwards, as soon as the manoeuvre
is activated ("creeping" effect). The
accelerator should not be pressed in
this case.
IMPORTANT The inconsistency
between the speed actually engaged
(shown on the display) and the position
of the gear lever is indicated by the
letter corresponding to the position of
the lever flashing on the trim (also
accompanied by an acoustic signal).
This condition should not be interpreted
as an operational fault, but simply as a
request by the system to repeat the
manoeuvre.
IMPORTANT With engine running and
car stationary, in "Sequential mode",
the request for engaging 2
nd
gear is not
accepted by the system (whether the
brake pedal is pressed or not).
