The symbol appears on the display in the event of a fault
with the alternator.If the symbol continues to be displayed, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership immediately.
DOOR OPEN
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol appears on the display when one or more
doors or the tailgate are not perfectly closed. An
acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and the
car moving.
On some versions the symbol also appears on the display
when the bonnet is not closed correctly.
DUAL PINION ACTIVE STEERING FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol appears on the display in the event of a fault
with the steering.
In the event of a fault, you may not have steering
assistance and the effort required to operate the
steering wheel could be notably increased; steering is,
however, still possible.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

“Dynamic”: gear changes at higher
engine speeds. It enhances sporty driving;
“Natural”: gear changes at low engine
speeds. It enhances comfort and reduces
consumption;
“All Weather”: driving programme on
roads with poor grip (e.g. snow, ice, mud,
etc.).
Gearshifting suggestion
With the transmission in automatic mode
(selector lever in position D), when
gearshifting is required by the paddles on
the steering wheel (for versions/markets,
where provided), the system shifts to
"Sequential mode", with relevant
displaying of the gear engaged, for about
5 second.
When this time has elapsed, if the
paddles are not operated anymore, the
system goes back to the automatic mode
(D), with following displaying.
SEQUENTIAL DRIVING MODE
In sequential driving mode, the
transmission works like a manual
gearbox.
Gearshifting through gear lever
Move the lever sideways (to the left)
from position D to the sequential
position:
lever towards "+": engage higher gear;
lever towards "-": engage lower gear.
The lever correct position in "Sequential
mode" is signalled when the symbols "+"
and "−" switch on and the symbol D
switches off on the display (the gear
engaged only is shown on the display).
Gearshifting through steering wheel
paddles
(for versions/markets, where provided)
27)
On some versions, the steering wheel
paddles fig. 64 can be used to change
gear in sequential mode or in D:
steering wheel paddle "+" (pulling
paddle towards driver fig. 64 ): engage
higher gear;
steering wheel paddle "-" (pulling
paddle towards driver fig. 64 ): engage
lower gear.
The engagement of a lower or higher gear
is only permitted if the engine revs allow
it.
If the car is stopped with a higher gear
than 1
stengaged, the transmission will
automatically engage 1stgear.
