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”  
Ú
page 149.
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.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 73

Alarm System Failure The telltale will illuminate to 
report an alarm system failure.
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 
Ú
page 151. If it is not possible to restore the fuel
supply, contact an authorized dealer.
Fuel Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of 
fuel level sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Generic Indication
Signals information and failures.
The accompanying messages describe the 
failure.
Highway Assist System (HAS)/Traffic Jam 
Assist (TJA) System Failure
The symbol lights up in case of HAS or 
TJA system failure.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as 
possible to have the failure eliminated.
Keyless System Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of 
keyless system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
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.

VEHICLE LOADING 
CERTIFICATION LABEL
As required by National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration regulations, your vehicle has a 
certification label affixed to the driver's side door 
or pillar.
This label contains the month and year of 
manufacture, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating 
(GVWR), Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) front 
and rear, and Vehicle Identification Number 
(VIN). A Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is 
included on this label and indicates the Month, 
Day and Hour of manufacture. The bar code that 
appears on the bottom of the label is your VIN.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) 
The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your 
vehicle including driver, passengers, vehicle, 
options and cargo. The label also specifies  maximum capacities of front and rear axle 
systems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so 
GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not 
exceeded.
Payload
The payload of a vehicle is defined as the 
allowable load weight a truck can carry, including 
the weight of the driver, all passengers, options 
and cargo.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on 
the front and rear axles. The load must be 
distributed in the cargo area so that the GAWR of 
each axle is not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the 
components in the system with the lowest load 
carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires or wheels). 
Heavier axles or suspension components 
sometimes specified by purchasers for increased 
durability do not necessarily increase the 
vehicle's GVWR.
Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label 
represents the actual tire size on your vehicle. 
Replacement tires must be equal to the load 
capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire 
size listed.
Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your 
vehicle for all loading conditions up to full GAWR.
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total 
weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including 
vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with 
no occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle. 
The front and rear curb weight values are 
determined by weighing your vehicle on a 
commercial scale before any occupants or cargo 
are added.
Loading
The actual total weight and the weight of the front 
and rear of your vehicle at the ground can best be 
determined by weighing it when it is loaded and 
ready for operation.
The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a 
commercial scale to ensure that the GVWR has 
not been exceeded. The weight on the front and 
rear of the vehicle should then be determined 
separately to be sure that the load is properly 
distributed over the front and rear axle. Weighing 
the vehicle may show that the GAWR of either the 
front or rear axles has been exceeded but the 
total load is within the specified GVWR. If so, 
weight must be shifted from front to rear or rear 
to front as appropriate until the specified weight 
limitations are met. Store the heavier items down 
low and be sure that the weight is distributed 
equally. Stow all loose items securely before 
driving.
Improper weight distributions can have an 
adverse effect on the way your vehicle steers and 
handles and the way the brakes operate.
Never add fuel when the engine is running. 
This is in violation of most state and federal 
fire regulations and may cause the 
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to turn on.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a 
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. 
You could be burned. Always place gas 
containers on the ground while filling.

SUGGESTIONS FOR 
DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
The following suggestions may help you save fuel 
and lower the amount of harmful emissions 
released into the atmosphere.
Vehicle Maintenance
Checks and operations should be carried out in 
accordance with the Maintenance Plan  
Ú
page 191.
Tires
Check the tire pressures at least once every four 
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption 
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
NOTE:
Tire pressure that is too high can cause prema -
ture tire wear, reduced control, etc. Unnecessary Loads
Do not travel with an overloaded liftgate. The 
weight of the vehicle and its arrangement greatly 
affect fuel consumption and stability.
Electric Devices
Use electrical systems only for the amount of 
time needed. The rear window defroster, 
additional headlights, windshield wipers and 
heater blower fan require a considerable amount 
of energy; increasing the current uptake 
increases fuel consumption (by up to +25% when 
city driving).
Climate Control System
Using the climate control system will increase 
consumption: use standard ventilation when the 
temperature outside permits.
Devices For Aerodynamic Control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic 
control may adversely affect air drag and 
consumption levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs 
when the vehicle is stationary; this causes the 
engine to warm up more slowly, thereby 
increasing fuel consumption and emissions. It is 
therefore advisable to drive off immediately, 
slowly, avoiding high speeds: by doing this the 
engine will warm up more quickly.
