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.

performance limitation is carried out.
With engine off or at idle speed, wait until the symbol switches off.
