characterised by two separate records,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B”, where the car’s
“complete missions” (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally independent
manner. Both memories can be reset: i.e.
start of a new journey.
"Trip A" can be used to display the values
relating to:
Range
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instant consumption
Average speed A
Trip time (driving time) A
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR 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.18)
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, it
means that 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 goes out after the fault disappears: the
indication is stored in the system.Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the engine.
Prolonged use of the car with the warning light
on constantly may cause damage.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter
may be damaged.In this case, 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.
GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE (diesel
versions)
This warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR. It
will switch off as soon as the heater plugs have reached a preset
temperature. The engine can be started as soon as the warning
light switches off.
IMPORTANT In mild or high temperature conditions, the warning
light comes on for a very short time only.
Glow plug preheating failure
The warning light will flash to indicate a failure in the glow plug
preheating system.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
iTPMS SYSTEM
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be
compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp
braking and steering. Repair immediately using
the dedicated kit (see the "Replacing a wheel"
paragraph in the "In an emergency" section) and
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on
constantly (see “Operating conditions” paragraph) to indicate
that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty.
The system goes back to normal operation when the operating
conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Reset
procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.If the malfunction warning persists, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
Low tyre pressure
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the tyre
pressure is lower than the recommended value, in order to
guarantee long tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a
slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres
may be flat and therefore probably punctured. In this case it is
advisable to restore the correct pressure value (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section).
Once the normal operating conditions of the vehicle are restored,
carry out the Reset procedure.In any situation in which the message on the
display is "See manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer
to the contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section, strictly
complying with the indications that you find
there.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be
compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp
braking and steering.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is
started.
Intervention by the system is indicated by the flashing of the
warning light: it indicates that the car is in critical stability and
grip conditions.
If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the
engine running, this indicates an anomaly in the ESC system.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the problem diagnosed and
resolved.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

33)When the ABS intervenes and you feel
the brake pedal pulsating, do not reduce the
pressure, but hold it down firmly and
confidently; in doing so you will brake in the
shortest distance possible, depending on the
current road conditions.
34)To obtain the maximum efficiency of the
braking system, a bedding-in period of about
500 km is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and
prolonged braking.
35)If the ABS intervenes, this indicates that
the grip of the tyres on the road is nearing its
limit: you must slow down to a speed
compatible with the available grip.
36)The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
37)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
38)The capability of the ABS must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
39)For the correct operation of the ABS, the
tyres must of necessity be the same make
and type on all wheels, in perfect condition
and, above all, of the prescribed type and
dimensions.
40)The ASR cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
41)The ASR system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.42)The capability of the ASR must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
43)The HBA system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
44)The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
45)The features of the HBA system must
never be tested in imprudent or dangerous
ways, with the possibility of putting the
safety of the driver, occupants or other road
users at risk.
46)DST is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of responsibility for driving
the vehicle.iTPMS System (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the iTPMS
(indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) which monitors the tyre inflation
status thanks to wheel speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure on
all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-learning"
phase (with length depending on the
driving style and road conditions: optimal
conditions being driving on a straight
road at 80 km/h for at least 20 minutes)
which starts when the RESET procedure
is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
62
SAFETY

when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at MAR-ON,
press the button
fig. 40 on the
dashboard for 2 seconds; after the
RESET, the display shows a dedicated
message, indicating that "self-learning"
has started.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty driving,
particular conditions of the road surface
(e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced roads) the
signalling may be delayed or partial in
detecting the contemporary deflation of
more than one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously on;
at the same time, the display shows a
dedicated message.
This indication is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and then on
again if the correct operating conditions
are not restored.
IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
47)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
48)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to be
considered a system to replace maintenance
or a safety system.
49)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed value,
but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
50)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
51)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them.
52)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity to drive safely.

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways). It is therefore not
recommended to use this device on
extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use
it in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON.
The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 5
thgear or higher.When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed the
stored speed.
Activation is indicated by the warning
light
.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON and press the
accelerator to reach the required speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
1 second, then release it: the car speed is
now stored and you can therefore release
the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing the
accelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the
stored speed can be reset as follows:
accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
of speed storing;
press the RES button (2 fig. 67).
INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be
increased by pressing button SET +.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be reduced
by pressing the button SET -.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The device can be switched off in the
following ways:
by turning the ring 1 fig. 67 to the OFF
position;
by switching off the engine;
by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch
or the accelerator; in this last case the
system is not effectively deactivated but
the system gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still
remains active, without the need to press
the RES button to return to the previous
conditions once acceleration is
concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
if the ABS or ESC systems intervene;
with the vehicle speed below the set
limit;
in the event of system failure.
