GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNERIf after purchasing the car, you decide
to install electrical accessories that
require a permanent electric supply
(radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden
the electric supply, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo, will also
check whether the car's electrical
system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
58)
INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices
installed after buying the car in the
context of after-sales service must carry
the following label:fig. 88Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
authorises the installation of transceiver
devices on condition that such
installations are carried out in
a workmanlike fashion, following the
manufacturer’s instructions, at a
specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change either
directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not
be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not
supplied or recommended by Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the
provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle
mobile phones, CB radios, amateur
radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.IMPORTANT The use of these devices
inside the passenger compartment
(without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle’s electronic systems to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers' health.
As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.
WARNING
58) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers or non-standard alloy
wheels: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency in sharp,
repeated braking or on long
descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats,
etc.).

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON the warning light comes on, but
should go out as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with a message on the
display (for versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects
that engine oil pressure is low.

IMPORTANT
12) If the
warning light switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with a dedicated 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;
- for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds
until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning
light will continue to flash in the same mode, until the oil is changed. A
specific message will appear on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided) in addition to the warning light. If the warning light flashes, this
does not mean that there is a fault, but simply informs that it is now
necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the car. Engine oil
deterioration is accelerated by:
- mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process
more frequent;
- use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have
time to reach its regular operating temperature;
- repeated interruptions of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF
warning light switching on.Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as
possible.

WARNING
65) Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the warning light comes on, and never more
than 500 km after it first switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level
of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you must not top up the engine oil.
66) If the warning light flashes with the car in motion, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

WARNING
69) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. 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.
