Symbol What it means
GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) FAILURE (2.0 T4 MAir versions only)
The symbol lights up fixed together with the
in case of failure to the GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter).
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this case an engine
performance limitation is carried out.
Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or idling.
SPEED LIMITER SYSTEM FAILURE
While driving, the symbol switches on to signal a Speed Limiter system failure.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.

If the symbol switches on, it indicates a low engine coolant level condition.
Top up as described in the "Maintenance and Care" chapter.
FUEL TANK CAP
(where provided)
The symbol lights up if the fuel tank cap is open or not properly closed.
Tighten the cap properly.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Let’s get to the core of the vehicle: seeing how you can exploit all
of its potential to the full. We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome companion, with our comfort
and our wallets in mind.

CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
car speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
25 mph (40 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 the device in town.
Travelling downhill, the system could
brake the car to keep the set speed
unvaried.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
114) 115) 116)
To activate the device press button
fig. 100.
The activation of the device is signalled
by the switching on of the white warning
light
on the display.
The Cruise Control function can remain
active concurrently with the Speed
Limiter system. If a speed limit below the
one indicated in the Cruise Control is
selected, the Cruise Control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.The device cannot be engaged in first or
reverse gear: it is recommended to
engage it in 3rd gear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device on when it is not used. There is a
risk of inadvertently activating it and
losing control of the vehicle due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
activate the device;
when the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, raise/lower the SET
switch and release fig. 100 to activate
the device. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will keep the
selected speed automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing theaccelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhills with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before raising/lowering the
SET switch the vehicle must be travelling
at a constant speed on a flat surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING SPEED
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by lifting the SET
switch fig. 100.
Keeping the button (high/low) pressed,
the set speed will increase until the
button is released, then the new speed
will be stored.
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.

STARTING AND DRIVING

RECALLING THE SPEED
For versions with automatic transmission
operating in D mode (Drive - automatic),
press and release the RES
fig. 100 button to recall the previously
set speed.
For versions with manual gearbox or
automatic transmission in Autostick
(sequential) mode, before recalling the
previously set speed you should
accelerate until getting close to it, then
press and release the RES button.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Lightly pressing the brake pedal
deactivates the Cruise Control without
deleting the stored speed.
The Cruise Control may be deactivated
also by applying the electric parking
brake or when the braking system is
operated (e.g. operation of the ESC
system).
The stored speed is deleted in the
following cases:
pressing the on/off button or
switching off the engine;
if there is a malfunction in the Cruise
Control.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The Cruise Control is deactivated by
pressing the activation/deactivation
button or bringing the ignition device to
the STOP position.
WARNING
114)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
115)In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
116)The Cruise Control can be dangerous if
the system cannot keep a constant speed. In
specific conditions speed may be excessive,
resulting in the risk of losing control of the
vehicle and causing accidents. Do not use the
device in heavy traffic or on winding, icy,
snowy or slippery roads.
ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
117) 118) 119) 120) 121) 122)
41) 42) 43) 44) 45) 46) 47)
The Active Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The device allows to hold the vehicle at
the desired speed without needing to
press the accelerator. It also allows to
hold a given distance from the vehicle
ahead (the distance can be set by the
driver).
The Active Cruise Control (ACC) uses a
radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 101 and a camera, located in
the middle area of the windscreen
fig. 102, to detect the presence of a
vehicle close ahead.
121

The device further enhances driving
comfort provided by the electronic
Cruise Control when on the motorway or
out of town with light traffic.
Important notes
If the sensor does not detect any vehicle
ahead, the device will maintain a fixed set
speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
device automatically intervenes bybraking (or accelerating) slightly in order
not to exceed the original set speed, so
that the vehicle keeps the preset
distance, seeking to adapt to the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
In the cases described below, the system
performance is not guaranteed, it is
therefore advisable to turn the device on
by pressing the
fig. 103 button:
driving in fog, heavy rain, snow, heavy
traffic and in complex driving situations
(e.g. on motorways with roadworks in
progress);
driving near a bend (winding roads), icy,
snowy, slippery roads or with steep
climbs and descents;
entering a turn lane or on a slip road;
towing a trailer;
when circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The device may have four operating
states:
Enabled (speed not programmed);
Activated (speed programmed);
Paused;
Deactivated.
Enabling / Activation
To enable the device, press and release
the
fig. 103 button.With the device enabled and ready for
operation, the display shows the
corresponding white icon with dashes
fig. 104 in place of the speed.
Setting a speed activates the system.
The displays shows the green icon with
the set speed.
The device cannot be enabled when RACE
mode is active.
