Warning
lightWhat it means
FUEL RESERVE / LIMITED RANGE
The warning light (or the icon on the display) switches on when there are about 1.8 UK gal (8 litres) of fuel left in the tank, for
diesel versions, and about 2.4 UK gal (9 litres) of fuel for petrol versions.
27)
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as
the engine is started.
The operation of the warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and
regulations of the country where you are driving.
14)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly. The warning light on
constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust emissions, a possible loss of
performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the
engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on constantly may cause damage. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
Release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon
as possible.
WARNING
27)If the warning light (or the icon on the display) flashes whilst driving, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT
14)If, turning the ignition device to ON, the warning lightdoes not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some versions
together with the message on the display), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.

Symbol What it means
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving, along to indicate the presence of water in the diesel filter.18)
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate)
through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. On average, the process lasts
15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 37 mph (60 km/h) with engine speed
above 2,000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a fault and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
IMPORTANT
18)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately
after refuelling, water has probably been introduced into the tank: stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Symbol What it means
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this case an engine
performance limitation is carried out.
Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or idling.
TOW HOOK FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the tow hook.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
AUDIO SYSTEM FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the audio system.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
