Fuel Reserve/Limited Range
The indicator light (or the symbol in the 
display) illuminates when about 2.4 
gallons (9 liters) of fuel is left in the tank.
Rear Fog Lights
The indicator illuminates when the rear 
fog light is activated.
Tire Pressure Low Warning Light 
The indicator light will illuminate to 
indicate that the tire pressure is lower 
than the recommended value and/or 
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In 
these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel 
consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the message on the 
display is “See Manual”

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
Warning Light 
The warning light switches on and a 
message is displayed to indicate that 
the tire pressure is lower than the 
recommended value and/or that slow 
pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal 
tire duration and fuel consumption may not be 
guaranteed. Should one or more tires be in the condition 
mentioned above, the display will show the 
indications corresponding to each tire.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should 
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the 
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle 
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire 
inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of 
a different size than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you 
should determine the proper tire inflation 
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been 
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is 
significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the 
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should 
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, 
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving 
on a significantly underinflated tire causes the 
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under 
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire 
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling 
and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for 
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, 
even if under inflation has not reached the level 
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire 
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS 
malfunction indicator to indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. The TPMS 
malfunction indicator is combined with the low 
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a 
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi
-
mately one minute and then remain continuously 
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon 
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the 
malfunction exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be 
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as 
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a 
variety of reasons, including the installation of 
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the 
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning 
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction 
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels 
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or 
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to 
continue to function properly.
 CAUTION!
If the warning light or the icon on the display 
flashes while driving, contact an authorized 
dealer.
 CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat 
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop 
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and 
steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair 
immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit 
and contact an authorized dealer as soon as 
possible.

Exterior Lights Failure
The telltale will illuminate to indicate a 
failure on the following lights: Daytime 
Running Lights (DRLs) / parking lights / 
trailer turn signal indicators (if present) / 
trailer lights (if present) / side lights / turn signal 
indicators / rear fog light / reversing light / brake 
lights / license plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a 
blown protection fuse, or an interruption of the 
electrical connection.
Replace the bulb or the relevant fuse. Contact an 
authorized dealer.
Engine Oil Change Required — 
If Equipped
The telltale is illuminated only for a 
limited time.
NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine is 
started the symbol will continue to illuminate as 
described above until the oil is changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that 
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply 
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil 
as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The 
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using 
the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine 
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Engine Oil Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of 
engine oil level sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of 
engine oil pressure sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Fuel Cut-Off System Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of 
fuel cut-off system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Fuel Cut-Off Indicator Light 
The telltale will illuminate after an 
accident has occurred and the system 
has shut the fuel off. For reactivating the fuel cut-off system

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System 
Failure — If Equipped
The telltale will illuminate in the event of 
a fault in the Lane Departure Warning 
system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
 CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as 
soon as possible after the symbol is switched 
on, and never more than 500 miles (805 km) 
after it first switches on. Failure to observe the 
above may result in severe damage to the 
engine and invalidate the New Vehicle Limited 
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it does 
not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so 
if it flashes you do not need to top up the 
engine oil.

Resume Button Location
In AutoStick (sequential) mode, before resuming 
the previously set speed, you should accelerate 
until you are close to that speed. Then, push and 
release the RES button.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the Cruise 
Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by 
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the 
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of the 
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise Control 
system
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) 
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver 
assist system that combines the Cruise Control 
functions with controlling the distance from the 
vehicle ahead. ACC increases the driving 
convenience provided by Cruise Control while 
traveling on highways and major roadways. 
However, it is not a safety system and not 
designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control 
function performs differently   
Ú
page 98.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged 
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the 
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC 
uses a radar sensor located behind the front 
bumper and a camera located in the center/
upper part of the windshield, to detect the 
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
The system sets and holds the vehicle at the 
desired speed without needing to press the 
accelerator. It also sets and holds a distance 
from the vehicle ahead (these settings are set by 
the driver).
Front Bumper Radar Location Windshield Camera Location
If the system detects a vehicle ahead, it will 
automatically intervene by slightly braking or 
accelerating in order to maintain the preset 
distance. It will not exceed the original set speed 
when adapting to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not guar -
anteed under the following circumstances, and it 
is recommended to turn the system off when: 
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads, roads 
with steep inclines, or roads with numerous 
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.

TRAFFIC JAM ASSIST (TJA) 
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system can be 
activated on all road types. The system uses a 
camera to detect lane markings and keep the 
vehicle in the center of the lane. When the system is unable to detect lane 
markings, it will still operate using surrounding 
traffic. This can occur in congested traffic 
scenarios, when the vehicles ahead or 
surroundings obstruct the visibility of the lane 
markings. When the speed is below 12 mph 
(20 km/h), the system can use a lock-on strategy 
that allows the vehicle to automatically follow the 
vehicle ahead.
The TJA system combines Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC) functions with Lane Departure Warning 
functions to maintain vehicle speed and steering 
wheel behavior.
NOTE:
Do not use the TJA system while driving in urban 
areas.
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
To activate the system, push the button on the 
left side of the steering wheel.

TRAFFIC SIGN 
RECOGNITION (TSR) 
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system uses a 
camera mounted on the windshield to detect 
recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
Signs indicating the end of the situations 
indicated above If the camera does not detect valid speed limits, 
the radio system navigation system may suggest 
unregulated speed limits.
The system always checks the traffic signs 
indicating the current speed limit signs. The 
system is able to recognize and display up to two 
different road signs in the instrument cluster 
display.
Depending on the unit of measurement (km or 
mph) set through the Unit of Measurement menu 
in the radio system, the TSR system will automat
-
ically show the indication of the road sign in the 
unit of measurements selected in the instrument 
cluster display.
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
The TSR system can be activated/deactivated in 
the radio system in the Driver Assistance menu. 
The system activation is signaled by road signs 
shown on the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
By selecting “Blinking”, the driver can activate 
a warning to display when the speed exceeds 
the limit indicated by the TSR system. The 
speed road sign on the instrument cluster 
display will blink until the vehicle speed drops 
below the displayed limit.
Selecting “Offset” will set the speed at which 
“Blinking” is activated up to a maximum of 
6 mph (10 km/h) above the limit detected by  the system.
If no speed limit signs are found, the system 
will revert to the speed limit signs that are 
stored in the NAV system.
 WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take 
control of the car in the event that the TJA 
system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering 
wheel when the TJA system is activated.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles 
and pay attention to traffic conditions.
The TJA system should only be used as a 
driving aid. The driver must always pay 
attention to their surroundings when the 
system is operating and be ready to take 
control of the vehicle at any time.
Do not place any objects on the steering 
wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers) which 
could interfere with the hand detection 
sensor on the steering wheel.

Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or 
before stopping the engine. This action is 
unnecessary and causes increased fuel 
consumption and pollution.
Gear Selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road conditions 
allow it. Using a low gear for faster acceleration 
will increase fuel consumption. Improper use of a 
high gear increases consumption, emissions and 
engine wear.
Maximum Speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as 
speed increases. Maintain a constant speed, 
avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration, 
which cost in terms of both fuel consumption and 
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects consumption 
and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and 
should not exceed the maximum torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold Starting
Short trips and frequent cold starts will not allow 
the engine to reach optimum operating 
temperature. This results in a significant increase 
in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% in city 
driving) and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic, 
for instance when traveling in traffic with frequent 
use of low gears or in cities with many traffic 
lights. Winding mountain roads and rough road 
surfaces also adversely affect consumption.Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway crossings), 
turn off the engine.
PERFORMANCE — QUADRIFOGLIO
This vehicle is equipped with an engine capable 
of delivering exceptionally fast acceleration and 
speed:
Peak power: 505 HP at 6,500 RPM.
Peak torque: 443 ft-lb at 2,500–5,000 RPM.
Top speed: 176 mph (283 km/h).
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h): 
3.6 seconds.
For safe driving, it is essential, particularly during 
the first days of use, to get to know the car by 
driving carefully and gradually discovering its 
performance.
Brakes
The car braking system may be available with four 
carbon ceramic material brake discs, one on 
each wheel.
In order to guarantee the maximum braking 
capacity for the first use, Alfa Romeo performs a 
"run-in" procedure for discs and pads directly at 
the factory.
The use of carbon ceramic material brake discs 
guarantees braking features (better 
deceleration/pedal load ratio, braking distances, 
fading resistance) proportional to the dynamic 
features of the car in addition to considerably 
decreasing the unsprung component weight.
The materials used and the structural features of 
the system could generate unusual noises which 
have absolutely no adverse effect on correct 
operation and reliability of the braking system. Greater pressure may need to be applied to the 
brake pedal the first time to keep the same 
braking capacities in presence of condensation 
or salt on the braking surfaces, for example after 
washing or if the car is not used for a long time.
NOTE:
Given the high technological level of this system, 
any servicing on it must be performed by an 
authorized dealer which exclusively has the skills 
needed for the repair and maintenance opera
-
tions. 
In case of intensive, high-performance use of the 
car, have the efficiency of the carbon ceramic 
material braking system inspected as shown on 
the Maintenance Plan at an authorized dealer.
Driving On Race Tracks
Before driving on a track using a racing style, it is 
necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine 
compartment  
Ú
page 191.
Have the car inspected at an authorized 
dealer.
Remember that the car was not designed to be 
driven exclusively on the race track and that this 
use increases stress and component wear.
NOTE:
Quadrifoglio front brakes are equipped with 
Non-Asbestos Organic (NAO) type pads. These 
pads are NOT suitable for high thermal loads (for 
example track use). If you plan to use vehicle on 
a track it is recommended to use the optional 
CCM Brakes (Carbon Ceramic Brake disc).
