KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Symbol What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The symbol lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that
the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership if the symbol comes on when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):slow down and, if the warning light stays on,
stop the vehicle. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation,
then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before
turning it off.
DOOR OPEN
The symbol switches on when one or more doors are not completely shut. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and
the car moving.
Close the doors properly.

IMPORTANT
15)Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may severely damage the gearbox, with resulting breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact with hot
engine or with exhaust components at high temperature could cause fires.

Symbol What it means
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) through
the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. The process normally takes about
15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 37 mph (60 km/h) with engine speed
above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a fault and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) CLEANING in progress (2.0 T4 MAir versions only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on fixed, together with a dedicated message on the display, to indicate that the GPF system needs to
eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) by means of the regeneration process.
The symbol does not light up on during every GPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. The optimal conditions for completing the
process are achieved by varying the speed of the car (pressure on the accelerator pedal). Hold a speed faster than 37 mph
(60 km/h), on extra-urban roads, until the symbol and the message disappear from the display.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate an anomaly and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
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.

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.
With engine off or at idle speed, wait until the symbol switches off.
TRAILER LIGHT CONTROL UNIT FAILURE
The symbol turns on to warn of failure in the control unit that manages the trailer lights.
Check that the trailer light is correctly connected to the socket. If the fault persists the next time you start the engine, contact the
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the system checked.
