Door Open
The telltale turns on when one or more
doors are not completely shut. An
acoustic signal is activated with the
doors open and the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
Power Steering Failure
If the telltale remains on, you may not
have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel
may be increased; steering is, however,
possible.

NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering
wheel must be initialized. The Power Steering
Failure light on the instrument panel will illumi -
nate to indicate this. To carry out this procedure,
simply turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light, along with the related
message, signals a failure in the ETC.
If a failure is detected, the warning light turns on
while the engine is running.

Place the gear selector in the Park (P) position and
the ignition in the off position: the warning light
should switch off. If the warning light stays on with
engine running, the vehicle can still be driven.

If the warning light flashes with the engine
running, immediate intervention is required. A loss of performance, irregular/high idling speed
or engine stopping might take place and the
vehicle may need to be towed.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the failure eliminated.
Engine Coolant Temperature Too High
The telltale lights up when the engine
has overheated.
In normal driving conditions : stop the car, turn off
the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case,
wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, fill with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any
fluid leaks. Contact an authorized dealer if the
telltale comes on when the engine is started
again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions
(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle.
Stop for two or three minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to facilitate
better coolant circulation, then turn the engine
off. Check that the coolant level is correct as
described above.
Hood Cap Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the hood cap
is not properly closed, along with the
icon, an image of the vehicle with an
open hood cap appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the hood cap is open and
the vehicle is moving.
Close the hood properly.
Insufficient Engine Oil Level
The telltale turns on, along with the
related message on the display, to
indicate low engine oil level.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.
Low Engine Oil Pressure
This telltale indicates low engine oil
pressure. If the telltale turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the
engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when this telltale turns on. Do not operate
the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This
telltale does not indicate how much oil is in the
engine.

NOTE:
Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been
solved. The turning on of the telltale does not indi -
cate 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” func -
tion on the Information and Entertainment
System.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
If the LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE symbol
switches on when driving, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized dealer.

Correct servicing permits the performance of the
vehicle to be maintained over time, as well as
limited running costs and safeguarding the
efficiency of the safety systems.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a
long life for the vehicle under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned a series
of checks and services for your vehicle at fixed
intervals based on distance and time, as
described in the Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always necessary to
carefully follow the instructions in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an authorized
dealer according to a set time schedule. If, during
each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried
out with the owner’s explicit consent only.

NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing intervals are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
You are advised to inform an authorized dealer of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every month or every 620 miles (1,000 km) or
before long trips check and, if necessary, top off:
Engine coolant level.
Brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
authorized dealer as soon as possible).
Windshield washer fluid level.
Tire inflation pressure and condition.
Operation of lighting system (headlights,
direction indicators, hazard warning lights,
etc.).
Operation of windshield washing/wiping
system and positioning/wear of wiper blades.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
Oil consumption of the engine depends on
conditions and driving style. For this reason, the
engine oil level must be checked every
1,860 miles (3,000 km), and top off if necessary;
for further information
