Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
NOTE:If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective
outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb
is defective.

the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash
five times then automatically turn off.

damage your vehicle. The digital warning light may
switch on (together with a message on the display) to
indicate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this
case, stop the engine and contact a dedicated autho-
rized dealership.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide
to look under the hood yourself, see “Servicing And
Maintenance.” Follow the warnings under the
Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.

ute (RPM x 1000). Before the pointer reaches the red
area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine
damage.

• Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty; any
gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic
converter.
•
The fuel pump symbol points to the side of
the vehicle where the fuel door is located.
5. “Alfa DNA” Driving Mode Indicator
