Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
TPMS SYSTEM
Low tyre pressure
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on (on some
versions together with a message on the display) (together with
an acoustic signal) if the pressure in one or more tyres drops
below a preset threshold.
In this way the TPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may
be dangerously flat and liable to puncture.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. Replace the wheel
immediately with the spare wheel (where
provided) or carry out a prompt repair using the
dedicated kit (see the paragraph on “Replacing a
wheel” in chapter “In an emergency”) and contact
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
TPMS failure
This warning light switches on (on some versions together with a
message on the display) when a TPMS fault is detected.
Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors, the display
will show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressure
The warning light switches on (on some versions together with a
message in the display) to indicate that the tyre pressure is below
the value recommended to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel
consumption. It may also indicate a slow loss of pressure.
Should two or more tyres be in the condition mentioned above,
the display will show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence. In this case it is advisable to restore the correct
pressure value

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
23)If thewarning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
24)A fault with the warning light
is signalled by illumination of the iconon the instrument panel display and by the flashing of passenger
airbag disabled warning light on the rearview mirror. In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the passenger side airbag (where
provided). In this case, the warning light may not indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
25)If the warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from the first
switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember
that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you must not top up the engine oil.
26)If the warning light flashes with the car in motion, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
27)Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine may be switched off even if the
warning light is on: repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of engine oil. For this reason it is
always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine, following the instructions above. Do not complete the DPF
regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
IMPORTANT
13)If thewarning light switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
14)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, the warning lightdoes not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
15)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If the
symbol is displayed contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately
after refuelling, water has probably been introduced into the tank: stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

WARNING
47)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the spare
wheel.
48)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed value,
but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
49)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the system will no longer be
available and, in addition to the TPMS
warning light flashing for less than one
minute before becoming constant, a warning
message will be shown on the display, until
4 wheels with sensors are fitted again.
50)The TPMS cannot warn of sudden
decreases in tyre pressure (for example
when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the car,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
51)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres (and vice versa) requires TPMS
adjustment that must only be performed by
a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
52)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The TPMS
system may temporarily indicate
insufficient pressure. In this case, check the
tyre pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.53)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Tyre and/or rim fitting/removal operations
require specific precautions; to avoid
damaging or fitting the sensors incorrectly,
tyre and/or rim fitting/removal operations
should only be carried out by specialised
staff. Contact a dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
54)Intense radio-frequency interference
may prevent the correct operation of the
TPMS. This condition will be indicated by a
message on the display. The message will
disappear automatically as soon as the
radio-frequency interference ceases to
affect the system.
55)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not equivalent
with that in the original kit may adversely
affect its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one are used, it is
recommended to have the TPMS sensors
checked by a qualified repair centre.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
56) 57) 58)
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to an
impact. This allows the belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body of the
occupant. In the event of an accident, the
belt will lock reducing the risk of impact
inside the passenger compartment and
of being projected outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local laws
in force in relation to the use of the seat
belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
Using the seat belts
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the safety belts, hold the
tongue 1 fig. 43 and insert it into the
buckle 2, until it clicks into place. If the
seat belt jams during removal, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out

SAFETY
again without jerking.

jamming of the car underneath other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
underneath a truck or a guard rail) as, in
this case, the bags would offer no
additional protection with respect to the
seat belt and their deployment would be
inappropriate. Failure to activate in the
conditions described above is due to the
fact that they may not provide any
additional protection compared with seat
belts, so their activation would be
inappropriate. In these cases,
non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
This consists of an instantly inflating
cushion contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 57.
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG
This consists of an instantly inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
dashboard fig. 58 which has a larger
volume than that of the driver.
FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND
CHILD RESTRAINTSYSTEMS
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger airbag since in
the event of an impact the airbag
activation may cause fatal injuries to the
transported child.ALWAYScomply with
the instructions on the label on the
passenger side sun visor fig. 59.Deactivating passenger side airbags:
front airbag and side bag for pelvis,
chest protection (Side bag)
If a child must be carried on the front seat
in a rear facing child restraint system,
deactivate the passenger side front
airbag and side bag for pelvis, chest
protection (Side bag). To deactivate the
airbags use the Setup Menu (see the
instructions in the “Display” paragraph,
“Knowing the instrument panel” chapter).
With airbags deactivated, a warning light
lights up on the instrument panel in
the trim located above the internal
rearview mirror fig. 60.

SAFETY

With front passenger airbag on, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on constantly for several
seconds and then it should switch off.
If the warning light
flashes, this
indicates a fault in the warning light
.
Before proceeding, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the system
checked immediately.
Rotating the starting device to MAR, the
warning light
switches on for a few
seconds. If not, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. During the first seconds, the
activation of the warning light
does
not actually show the passenger
protection status, but only tests its
correct operation. After a test of a few
seconds, the warning light will indicate
the status of the passenger airbag
protection.Passenger protection active: warning
light
off.
Passenger protection deactivated: the
warning light
switches on with a
steady light.
The warning light
may light up with
various intensity levels depending on the
vehicle conditions. The intensity may vary
during the same key cycle.
DRIVER SIDE KNEE BAG
This is located in a dedicated
compartment under the steering wheel
fig. 61. It provides additional protection
in the event of a frontal impact.
