Right direction indicator
(green)
The warning light switches on when the direction indicator stalk is
moved upwards or when the hazard warning light button is pressed.
Tyre pressure low
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on (on some
versions together with a message on the display) (together with an
acoustic signal) if the pressure in one or more tyres drops below a
preset threshold.
In this way the TPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be
dangerously flat and liable to puncture.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as
handling may be compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp braking
and steering. Replace the wheel immediately with the space-saver
wheel (for versions/markets, where provided) or carry out an
immediate repair using the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in
the “In an emergency” section) and contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services as soon as possible.TPMS failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on (on some
versions together with a message on the display) when a TPMS fault is
detected.
In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services as soon as
possible.
Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors, the display will
show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on (on some
versions together with a message in the display) to indicate that the
tyre pressure is below the value recommended to guarantee long tyre
life and low fuel consumption. It may also indicate a slow loss of
pressure.
Should two or more tyres be in the condition mentioned above, the
display will show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Under these circumstances you should restore the correct pressure
values (see "Technical specifications" section).
