Symbol What it means
SPEED LIMITER SYSTEM FAILURE
While driving, the symbol switches on to signal a Speed Limiter system failure.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
INSUFFICIENT ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL (where provided)
If the symbol switches on, it indicates a low engine coolant level condition.
Top up, as described in the "Servicing and Care" chapter
FUEL TANK CAP
(where provided)
Lights up if the fuel tank cap is open or not properly closed.
Tighten the cap properly.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE FAILURE
The switching on of the symbol and the message on the display signal a failure in the electric parking brake system.
This failure may partially or completely block the car because the parking brake could remain activated even if automatically or
manually disengaged using the relevant controls. In these circumstances, you can disengage the parking brake following the
emergency disengagement procedure described in the "In an emergency" chapter.
If you are still able to drive the car (parking brake is not engaged), drive to the nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership and remember,
when executing any manoeuvres/commands, that the electric parking brake is not operational.
28)
ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE
While driving, if the warning light switches on it signals a failure in the Adaptive Cruise Control system.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked.
WEAR ON BRAKE PADS
Lights up when the brake pads have reached their wear limit.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT Always use genuine parts or similar because the Integrated Brake System (IBS) system could detect anomalies.
WARNING
28)If a failure is present with sharp braking, the rear wheels may lock and the vehicle may swerve.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Let’s get to the core of the vehicle: seeing how you can exploit all
of its potential to the full. We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome companion, with our comfort
and our wallets in mind.

CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
25 mph (40 km/h) on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.
Going downhill, the system could brake
the car to keep the pre-set speed limit.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
111) 112) 113)
To activate the device press button
fig. 108.
The activation of the device is signalled
by the switching on of the white warning
light
on the display.
The Cruise Control function can remain
active concurrently with the Speed
Limiter system. If a speed limit below the
one indicated in the Cruise Control is
selected, the Cruise Control speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
This function remains available (where
provided) in RACE mode.The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 3
rdgear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave the
device on when it is not used. There is a
risk of inadvertently activating it and
losing control of the vehicle due to
unexpected excessive speed.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
activate the device;
when the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, raise/lower the SET
switch and release fig. 108 to activate
the device. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will keep the
selected speed automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing theaccelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhills with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before raising/lowering the
SET switch the vehicle must be travelling
at a constant speed on a flat surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING SPEED
Once the Cruise Control has been
activated, the speed can be
increased/decreased by lifting the SET
switch fig. 108.
Keeping the button (high/low) pressed,
the set speed will increase until the
button is released, then the new speed
will be stored.
Accelerating when overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the speed
stored even uphill and downhill. A slight
variation in the speed on slight rises is
completely normal.

STARTING AND DRIVING

RECALLING THE SPEED
For versions with automatic transmission
operating in D mode (Drive - automatic),
press and release the RES
fig. 108 button to recall the previously
set speed.
For versions with manual gearbox or
automatic transmission in Autostick
(sequential) mode, before recalling the
previously set speed you should
accelerate until getting close to it, then
press and release the RES button.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Lightly pressing the brake pedal
deactivates the Cruise Control without
deleting the stored speed.
The Cruise Control may be deactivated
also by applying the electric parking
brake or when the braking system is
operated (e.g. operation of the ESC
system).
The stored speed is deleted in the
following cases:
pressing the on/off button or
switching off the engine;
if there is a malfunction in the Cruise
Control.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The Cruise Control is deactivated by
pressing the activation/deactivation
button or bringing the ignition device to
the STOP position.
WARNING
111)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
112)In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
113)The Cruise Control can be dangerous if
the system cannot keep a constant speed. In
specific conditions speed may be excessive,
resulting in the risk of losing control of the
vehicle and causing accidents. Do not use the
device in heavy traffic or on winding, icy,
snowy or slippery roads.

VERSIONS WITH 4 SENSORS
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 109, detect the presence of
any obstacles and warn the driver about
them, through an acoustic signal and,
where provided, visual indications on the
instrument panel display.
Engagement/disengagement
To disengage the system press button
fig. 110.
The LED in the button will light up or not
when the system switches from on to off
(and vice versa).
