Tachometer
The Tachometer indicates the engine
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
Adjusting Instrument Panel Lighting
(Brightness Sensor)
Inside the Tachometer there is a light
sensor capable of detecting light and
adjusting the brightness of the
instrument panel and the Connect
system display.
Engine Oil Temperature
Gauge
The digital indicator monitors the
temperature of the engine oil and starts
supplying indications when the oil
temperature reaches approximately
122° F (50°C).Under normal usage, the temperature
should remain around the middle of the
digital scale according to the working
conditions.
The
warning light will turn on to
signal the excessive increase of the
engine oil temperature.
In the event of excessive engine oil
temperature, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized
dealer.
Fuel Level Gauge
The digital fuel gauge monitors the
amount of fuel in the tank.
When the
warning light turns on, a
message is displayed, and a chime is
sound when 2.38 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel
are left in the tank. Note:
If the low fuel warning light turns
on, refuel the vehicle at your nearest
fuel station.
Caution!
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could
damage the catalytic converter.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed in miles per hour and/or
kilometers per hour (mph/km/h).

Performance
The screens can be selected, on
rotation, by pushing the MENU
selection button on the windshield
wiper stalk.
Depending on the driving mode chosen
using the “Alfa DNA Pro” (Dynamic,
Normal, Advanced Efficiency and

Performance
The displayed parameters differ
according to the active mode. The
modes which can be selected using the
“Alfa DNA Pro” system are:
Normal,
The screen graphically reproduces
some parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a
view to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency, 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.
The globe lights up gradually according
to lower consumption.
Dynamic,
The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES ON
THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light switches on
together with a dedicated message
and/or chime when applicable. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, 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.
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
windshield wiper lever. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related
to the Brake Booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized
dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the BRAKE (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 abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
AIR BAG FAILURE
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position. If the light is either not on during startup, stays
on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected
at an authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light
will illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the
Air Bag Warning Light has been detected, it will stay on
until the fault is cleared. If the light comes on
intermittently or remains on while driving, have an
authorized dealer service the vehicle immediately.If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position,
if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound
and the light will turn on. When driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously
and a chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints”
in “Safety” for further information.
OIL TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
The warning light switches on in the case of engine oil
overheating.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as
possible. If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.

Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the switching on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an
accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.
Caution!
If the symbol switches on when driving, stop the vehicle and the engine immediately.
