ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The following systems are used for reducing
engine emissions:
Catalytic Converter
Oxygen Sensors
Evaporation Control System
ACTIVE AERODYNAMIC SPOILER
(QUADRIFOGLIO VEHICLES)
Carbon Fiber Active Aero Front Spoiler
This is an automatic device working at the
vehicle speed to regulate air flow in the lower
part of the vehicle. It allows higher reactivity at
average speeds and higher vehicle stability at
high speeds.

NOTE:

The Active Aero Spoiler is active in the
Dynamic or RACE mode of the Alfa DNA Pro
Selector; it is not active in any mode when
external temperatures are near or below zero.Front Fascia
If there is a fault, a generic failure icon will light
up on the instrument panel display, along with
a message that will identify the type of
malfunction. See an authorized dealer if a
fault occurs.

Adjusting Instrument Panel Lighting (Bright -
ness Sensor)

Inside the Tachometer there is a light sensor
capable of detecting light and adjusting the
brightness of the instrument panel and the
Information and Entertainment System display.

Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
The digital indicator monitors the temperature
of the engine oil and starts supplying indica -
tions when the oil temperature reaches
approximately 122°F (50°C).
Under normal usage, the temperature should
remain around the middle of the digital scale
according to the working conditions.

The Engine Oil Temperature warning light
will turn on to signal the excessive increase of
the engine oil temperature.
In the event of excessive engine oil tempera-
ture, stop the engine immediately and contact
an authorized dealer.
Fuel Level Gauge
The digital fuel gauge monitors the amount of
fuel in the tank.
When the Fuel Level warning light turns on,
a message is displayed, and a chime will
sound when 2.3 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel are left
in the tank.
Proceeding further, the second white notch
will go off and the last one will become red,
together with the indication "E" present at the
bottom of the tank.

The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in
miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour
(mph/km/h).

• External Temperature
• Current speed (shown only if the repeat
mode of the “Navigation” and “Phone”
functions have not been previously acti-
vated).

tion device ON, the Trip computer can be
used to display the measurements regard -
ing the operating state of the vehicle. This
function is characterized by two separate
records, called Trip A and Trip B (the latter
can be deactivated by Information and En -
tertainment System), where the complete
journeys are recorded in a reciprocally in -
dependent manner.

The displayed parameters differ according
to the active mode. The modes which can
be selected using the Alfa DNA system are:
Natural
Efficiency Consumption Graph The screen graphically reproduces some
parameters closely linked to the efficiency
of the driving style, with a view to limiting
consumption.
Advanced Efficiency
Dynamic Driving Style
The three central icons, on the screen, in -
dicate the effectiveness of the driving style
linked to the parameters of: acceleration,
deceleration and gear shift with a view to
reducing fuel consumption.
The graphic bar below the icons shows
current consumption and the green line
represents the optimal area. The globe
lights up gradually according to lower
consumption.
