This is an automatic device working at the vehicle
speed to regulate air flow in the lower part of the
vehicle. It allows higher reactivity at average
speeds and higher vehicle stability at high
speeds.

NOTE:
The Active Aero Spoiler is active in the Dynamic or
RACE mode of the Alfa DNA Pro Selector; it is not
active in any mode when external temperatures
are near or below zero. Front Fascia
If there is a fault, a generic failure icon will light up
on the instrument panel display, along with a
message that will identify the type of malfunction.
See an authorized dealer if a fault occurs.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning lights and
messages.

NOTE:

The warning light turns on together with a
dedicated message and/or chime when
applicable. These indications are precau -
tionary 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 pushing the button located on
the windshield wiper stalk. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.
RED WARNING LIGHTS
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and will
turn on for four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This
light will illuminate with a single chime when a
fault with the air bag has been detected, it will
stay on until the fault is cleared. 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.
Brake Warning Light
This warning 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.

an excessive temperature of the brake
discs. Let the breaking system cool
down by reducing the speed.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System
Activation
The symbol appears, together with a
message on the display, in case of
activation of the DAA system.
Stop to pause while driving, pulling the car over in
safe conditions.

Engine Oil Change Required — If Equipped

The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.

NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine is
started the symbol will continue to illuminate as
described above until the oil is changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil
as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using
the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.

soon as possible after the symbol is switched
on, and never more than 500 miles (805 km)
after it first switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so
if it flashes you do not need to top up the
engine oil.

vehicle because the park brake could remain
activated even if automatically or manually
disengaged using the relevant controls. In these
circumstances, you can disengage the park brake
following the emergency disengagement
procedure

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
Operation
The Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD) carries out
a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
vehicle related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver of when these
components are no longer in peak condition by
switching on the warning light on the
instrument panel

Ú
page 70. The aim of the OBD system (Onboard Diagnostic)
is to:
Monitor the efficiency of the system
Indicate an increase in emissions
Indicate the need to replace damaged
components
The vehicle also has a connector, which can
interface with appropriate tools, that makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can be carried out by an
authorized dealer.

NOTE:
After eliminating a fault, to check the system
completely, an authorized dealer is obliged to run
tests and, if necessary certain road tests.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
C
YBERSECURITY
Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a
connection port to allow access to information
related to the performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians may
need to access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.

STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, be sure to adjust the
seat, the interior rearview mirror, the door
mirrors, and fasten the seat belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal before starting
the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the starting
procedure will be shown in the display.
STARTING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the Electric Park Brake and set the gear selector to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully press the brake pedal without touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a few seconds, you need to repeat the procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
This system uses the key fob to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
at least 300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also activates the
climate control, the heated seats (if equipped),
and the heated steering wheel (if equipped),
depending on temperatures outside and inside of
the vehicle.

NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range.
How to use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK (P).
Doors closed.
Hood closed.
Trunk closed.
Hazard switch off.
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pressed).
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
buildup may cause serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a start
from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle

Ú
page 177. This type of
start can be dangerous if done improperly.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds before
trying again.
