KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning
lightWhat it means
FUEL RESERVE / LIMITED RANGE
The warning light (or the icon on the display) switches on when there are about 1.8 UK gal (8 litres) of fuel left in the tank, for
diesel versions, and about 2.4 UK gal (9 litres) of fuel for petrol versions.
27)
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as
the engine is started.
The operation of the 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.
14)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly. The warning light on
constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust emissions, a possible loss of
performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the
engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on constantly may cause damage. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
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.
WARNING
