Dual Pinion active steering
failure (red)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
but it should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you may not
have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering
wheel could be notably increased; steering is, however, possible.
In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
The display will show the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The warning light switches on to indicate this. To carry out
this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.CONSTANTLY ON: Low engine
oil pressure (red)
FLASHING: Engine oil deteriorated
(for versions/markets, where provided - red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes on, but should
go out as soon as the engine is started.1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together (for versions/
markets, where provided) with a message on the display when the
system detects that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If the
warning light turns on when driving (on
some versions, together with the message on the display),
stop the car immediately and contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will start to flash together with the specific message
on the display (for versions/markets, where provided).
Depending on the versions, the warning light flashing modes are as
follows:
❒for 1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light off for 5
seconds until the oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the warning light will
continue flashing as described above until the oil is changed. The
display shows a dedicated message (for versions/markets, where
provided) together with the warning light. The flashing of this warning
light should not be considered as a fault; it informs the customer that
the oil needs to be changed following normal car use. Remember that
the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration
process more frequent;

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has prepared a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000 kilometres (for 1.4
petrol versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for 1750 Turbo Petrol and
diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically
check level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km
and between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is carried out at Alfa Romeo Authorized Services
according to a set time schedule. If, during each operation, in addition
to the ones scheduled, the need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of
the Customer. If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2,000 km from the next service operation the display will show a
message.
The Scheduled Services intervals are set out by the Manufacturer.
Failure to comply with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform Alfa Romeo Authorized Services of any small
faults without waiting for the next scheduled service.
