Tachometer
The Tachometer indicates the engine
Revolutions Per Minute (Giri).
Adjusting Instrument Panel Lighting
(Brightness Sensor)
Inside the Tachometer there is a light
sensor capable of detecting light and
adjusting the brightness of the
instrument panel and the Information
and Entertainment System display.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
The digital indicator monitors the
temperature of the engine oil and starts
supplying indications when the oil
temperature reaches approximately
122° F (50°C).
Under normal usage, the temperature
should remain around the middle of the
digital scale according to the working
conditions.
The
warning light will turn on to signal
the excessive increase of the engine oil
temperature.
In the event of excessive engine oil
temperature, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized
dealer.
Fuel Level Gauge
The digital fuel gauge monitors the
amount of fuel in the tank.
When the
warning light turns on, a
message is displayed, and a chime is
sound when 2.38 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel
are left in the tank.
Note: If the low fuel warning light turns
on, refuel the vehicle at your nearest fuel
station.
Caution!
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could damage
the catalytic converter.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed in miles per hour and/or kilometers
per hour (mph/km/h).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Instrument Cluster Display Description
This vehicle is equipped with a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument cluster.
When one or more of the doors have been opened or closed and the ignition is in the OFF position, the instrument cluster will display
the vehicle mileage for a few seconds.
Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster Display
During operation, the instrument cluster display is divided into multiple sections which show driving data, warnings, and failure
indications.

Performance
The screens can be selected, on rotation,
by pushing the MENU selection button on
the windshield wiper stalk.
Depending on the driving mode chosen
using the “Alfa DNA Pro” (Dynamic,
Natural, Advanced Efficiency and RACE),
the screens can be graphically different. Navigation instructions and call
information can be repeated, besides on
the Information and Entertainment
System display, also in this area of the
display, these functions can be set on the
Information and Entertainment System.

In RACE mode, the consumption
indication index is not active and a sports
gearshift indicator is displayed. The
sports gearshift indicator is represented
by three yellow segments, if the third
indicator, characterized by the word
"SHIFT,” is on, it means that the gear
should be shifted.Trip A And B
The "Trip computer" can be used to
display, for all driving modes (Dynamic,
Natural, Advanced Efficiency and RACE)
and with the ignition device ON, the
measurements regarding the operating
state of the vehicle. This function is
characterized by two separate records,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” (the latter can
be deactivated by Information and
Entertainment System), where the
“complete missions” (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally independent
manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Active trip
Fuel consumption indicator
To reset the values, push and hold down
the button on the windshield wiper stalk.

The displayed parameters differ
according to the active mode. The modes
which can be selected using the “Alfa

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The screen graphically reproduces some
parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a view
to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency
The three center icons on the screen
indicate the effectiveness of the driving
style, linked to the following parameters:
acceleration, deceleration and gear
shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.
The globe lights up gradually according to
lower consumption.
Dynamic
The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.
Race The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light turns on together
with a dedicated message and/or chime
when applicable. These indications are
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained
in the Owner’s Manual, which you are
advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
The failure indicators appearing on
the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less serious
faults. Serious faults are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning "cycle.”
Less serious faults are indicated by a
warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
You can stop the warning cycle in both
cases by pushing the button located on
the windshield wiper stalk. The
instrument panel warning light will stay
on until the cause of the failure is
eliminated.

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or turns
on while driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light will
illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the Air Bag
Warning Light has been detected, it will stay on until the
fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving, have an authorized dealer service
the vehicle immediately.If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position, if
the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound and
the light will turn on. When driving, if the driver or front
passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously and a
chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Safety” for further information.
Always wear your seat belt when operating the vehicle.
OIL TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This telltale indicates engine oil temperature is high.Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the turning on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not indicate any
faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
