KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SPEEDOMETER (SPEED
INDICATOR)
This shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
This indicates the engine rpm.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light in the gauge lights up
when there are only 8 to 10 litres of
fuel remaining in the tank; if this
happens, refuel as soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts supplying
indications when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
assumes different positions within
the scale depending on the usage
conditions.
The warning light turns on to indicate
an overheating of the engine coolant. In
this case, stop the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A"
and "Trip B", where the car's
"complete missions" (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
“Trip A” is used to display the figures
relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average fuel consumption
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
