EHeadlamp alignment position (only with dipped headlamps on)
FOutside temperature
On some versions, selecting “DYNAMIC” driving mode (see “Alfa DNA
system” paragraph in this section) causes the display to show the
turbine pressure fig. 8.
The instrument is calibrated for engines with higher supercharging
pressures. Therefore, on some versions, it is normal for end of scale to
be reached.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the driver to change
gear through a special indication on the display fig. 9.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or "All Weather" mode and to
follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator, where the traffic
conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher gear, when the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon is displayed, it advises the driver to engage a lower
gear.
NoteThe indication in the instrument panel remains on until the driver
shifts gear or the driving conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve consumption.
