1 Gearbox Information
Automatic transmission
Displays the following information
regarding the gearbox operation:
gearbox operation mode (M, P, R, N, D).
In D mode, when changing gear using the
steering wheel lever (where present), or
manually M, it also show the gear
engaged with a number. In M mode, it
indicates whether it needs to be shifted
by one gear (single arrow suggests one
gear) or by two gears (double arrow
suggests two gears) both up and down.
Manual gearbox
Displays the following information
regarding the gearbox operation:
the gear engaged (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, N or

The parameters shown on the display, for
the modes: Dynamic, Normal and
Advanced Efficiency are:
Time fig. 47 or fig. 48 (on the 3.5" FT
display shown only if the Phone function
fig. 49 repeat mode has not previously
been activated).
Outside temperature (on the 3.5" FT
display shown only if the Phone function
repeat mode has not previously been
activated).

3.5” TFT Display
7” TFT DisplayIn RACE mode (where provided) the
consumption indication index is not
active and a sports gearshift indicator is
displayed. The sports gearshift indicator
is represented by three yellow segments;
if the third indicator, characterized by the
wording "SHIFT", is on, it means that the
gear should be shifted.
7” TFT DisplayTrip A and B
The "Trip computer" can be used to
display, for all driving modes (Dynamic,
Normal, Advanced Efficiency and RACE)
and with the ignition device ON, the
measurements regarding the operating
state of the vehicle. This function is
characterised by two separate records,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” (the latter can
be deactivated by Connect system),
where the car’s “complete missions”
(journeys) are recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Active trip
Fuel consumption indicator (7" TFT
Display only)

Performance
The displayed parameters are different
in function from the active mode, and the
modes can be selected through the “Alfa
DNA™ Pro” system and are as follows:
Normal,3.5” TFT Display
7” TFT Display
The screen graphically reproduces some
parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a view
to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency,3.5” TFT Display
7” TFT Display
The three central icons on the screen
indicate the effectiveness of the driving
style, linked to the following parameters:
acceleration, deceleration and gear
shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches
on together with a dedicated message
and/or acoustic signal when applicable.
These indications are indicative and
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained
in the Owner Handbook, which you are
advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators
appearing on the display are divided into
two categories: very serious and less
serious faults. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged
warning "cycle". Less serious faults are
indicated by a warning "cycle" with a
shorter duration. You can stop the
warning cycle in both cases by pressing
the button located on the windscreen
wiper lever. The instrument panel
warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.

WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Possible detailed messages and/or acoustic signalling can be matched to a few warning lights and symbols.
Red warning lights
Warning
lightWhat it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly due to a leak in
the circuit.
Go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked as soon as possible.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged.
Release the electric parking brake, then check that the warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the car is parked on a gradient of more than 30% and/or the brake temperature is greater than 662°F (350°C),
when the parking brake is engaged, the warning light will flash to indicate a potentially unsafe condition.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates either a failure of the
EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
