2018 Alfa Romeo Giulietta run flat

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
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.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM
ASR system failure
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches
on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light will flash while driving to indicate that the ASR
system is intervening.
If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the
engine running, this indicates a malfunction of the ASR system.In this case, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.
Hill Holder failure
The warning light switches on together with the symbol
on the
display to indicate a fault in the Hill Holder system.In this case, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.

(*) Where fitted
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck that the
value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the prescribed pressure for standard tyres.
When running at speeds higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures.
