LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The symbol indicates that the engine oil pressure is low.
If it turns on temporarily or flashes (for about 5 seconds), check the oil level by following the corresponding procedure (see the
description in the “Checking levels” paragraph in the “Maintenance and care” chapter) and top up to the correct level if necessary.
If the symbol turns on continuously, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked.

turns on, it does not indicate the amount of oil in the engine: the oil level can be checked on the display upon entering the vehicle
and also by activating the "Oil level" function on the Connect system.

IMPORTANT Make sure not to add too
much engine oil when topping up. Engine
oil in excess may damage the engine.
Have the car checked. Never exceed the
MAX level when topping up engine oil. It
is advisable to check the oil level inintermediate steps on the display. Use
the oil dipstick on the Quadrifoglio
version.
IMPORTANT The oil level is not refreshed
immediately on the display after topping
up. Consequently, wait for the oil level to
be refreshed on the display following to
procedure shown below.
Oil level indication update on display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as follows
to ensure correct indication of the oil
level on the display:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
Proceed as follows:
with the car level, run the engine for
approximately 5 minutes (temperature
higher than 176°F (80°C)) and then stop
the engine;
start the engine again and idle it for
about 2 minutes.
2.2 JTD Engine
Proceed as follows:
with the car level, run the engine until
the second oil temperature notch lights
up on the display on the instrument panel,
then stop the engine;
wait for at least 3 minutes, turn the
ignition switch in ON position without
starting the engine and wait for
20 seconds.
IMPORTANT If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the
symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an Alfa
Romeo dealership.
Engine oil consumption
66)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.88 lb (400 grams every
620 miles (1000 km). When the car is
new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
181
first 3100 - 3700 miles(5,000–6,000 km).

This function can only be activated within
2 minutes of setting the ignition device
to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at least
three seconds.
If, after using the function, the ignition
device is set back to ON with the blades
in a position other than rest position (at
the base of the windscreen), they will only
return to rest position following a
command given using the stalk (stalk
upwards, into unstable position) or when
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) is exceeded.
Replacing the windscreen/rearscreen
wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
lift the wiper arm, press the
attachment spring tab fig. 181 and
remove the blade from the arm;
fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;
lower the wiper arm onto the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Windscreen/rear window washer
The screen washer jets are located on the
windscreen wiper arms, the rear screen
wiper arm and the rear spoiler. If there is
no jet of fluid, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir (see paragraph
“Engine compartment” in this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not
clogged; use a needle to unblock them if
necessary.
WARNING
177)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in the
case of blowbacks from the engine. DO NOT
REMOVE this system unless you need to
carry out repair or servicing operations.
Before starting the engine, ensure that the
system has not been removed: failure to
observe this precaution may result in serious
injury.
178)Exhaust emissions are very dangerous,
and may be lethal. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas which
can cause fainting and poisoning if inhaled.
179)The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material. Dry
grass or leaves can also catch fire if they
come into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come into
contact with flammable material.
IMPORTANT
68)Incorrect servicing of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
malfunction inspected immediately by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
