Symbol What it means
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving, along to indicate the presence of water in the diesel filter.18)
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate)
through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. On average, the process lasts
15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 37 mph (60 km/h) with engine speed
above 2,000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a fault and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
IMPORTANT
18)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately
after refuelling, water has probably been introduced into the tank: stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Symbol What it means
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this case an engine
performance limitation is carried out.
Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or idling.
TOW HOOK FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the tow hook.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
AUDIO SYSTEM FAILURE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
Do not travel with the storage compartment open: it may injure the front seat occupants in the event of an accident.
The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children don’t use it: risk of fire and/or burns.
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
INTERIOR
Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which are generated
by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.
There must be no obstacles on the floor underneath the pedals; make sure that mats are always flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
Do not use aggressive organic substance such as: gasoline, kerosene, oil, acetone or solvents.
SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONSYSTEMS
The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach very high temperatures during operation. Therefore do not park the vehicle on flammable
materials (e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
IMPORTANT
EXTENDED CAR INACTIVITY
When you need to disconnect or remove the battery, do not close the boot. In order to avoid possible accidental closure, it is recommended to place
an obstacle (e.g. a cloth) on the lock that would physically avoid closure.
INTERIOR
Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives to clean the dashboard and instrument panel lens.
