Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
iTPMS SYSTEM
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be
compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp
braking and steering. Repair immediately using
the dedicated kit (see the "Replacing a wheel"
paragraph in the "In an emergency" section) and
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on
constantly (see “Operating conditions” paragraph) to indicate
that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty.
The system goes back to normal operation when the operating
conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Reset
procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.If the malfunction warning persists, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
Low tyre pressure
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the tyre
pressure is lower than the recommended value, in order to
guarantee long tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a
slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres
may be flat and therefore probably punctured. In this case it is
advisable to restore the correct pressure value (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section).
Once the normal operating conditions of the vehicle are restored,
carry out the Reset procedure.In any situation in which the message on the
display is "See manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer
to the contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section, strictly
complying with the indications that you find
there.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be
compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp
braking and steering.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is
started.
Intervention by the system is indicated by the flashing of the
warning light: it indicates that the car is in critical stability and
grip conditions.
If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the
engine running, this indicates an anomaly in the ESC system.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the problem diagnosed and
resolved.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at MAR-ON,
press the button
fig. 40 on the
dashboard for 2 seconds; after the
RESET, the display shows a dedicated
message, indicating that "self-learning"
has started.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty driving,
particular conditions of the road surface
(e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced roads) the
signalling may be delayed or partial in
detecting the contemporary deflation of
more than one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously on;
at the same time, the display shows a
dedicated message.
This indication is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and then on
again if the correct operating conditions
are not restored.
IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
47)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
48)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to be
considered a system to replace maintenance
or a safety system.
49)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed value,
but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
50)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
51)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them.
52)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity to drive safely.

WARNING
109)Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are not carried out properly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
110)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of breakage they may burst causing glass fragments to be projected outwards.
111)Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be replaced by specialised personnel: danger of death!
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
99

119)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used
as a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Using two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
120)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other
vehicle models. Never use it for repair
operations under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label. Never install
snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if a
front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
121)Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may
cause it to fall off when the car is in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Regularly check the inflation pressure
of the tyres and space-saver wheel (see
chapter "Technical specifications").122)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a tyre
gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle
with which it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Any other use, e.g. to jack
up other vehicle models or different things,
is strictly prohibited. Never use for
maintenance or repair activities under the
car or to exchange the summer/winter
wheels and vice versa. Never go under the
raised vehicle. Should it be necessary to
work under the vehicle, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Incorrect positioning of
the jack may cause the raised vehicle to fall:
use only in the positions indicated. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
IMPORTANT
35)When turning the jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your
hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touching
them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible to have the correct
tightening of the wheel bolts checked.

(4) The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions and is signalled by the
warning light or message in the instrument panel. In any cases, never exceed 1 year.
(5) For 1.4 Turbo Petrol and 1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions, to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to
proceed as follows: only use spark plugs specifically certified for these engines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the
“Engine” paragraph in the “Technical specifications” section); strictly comply with the replacement intervals in the Service Schedule. It is advisable
to contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership for spark plug replacement.
(6) Areas that are not dusty: recommended maximum distance 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance
travelled. Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the car (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling): advised maximum mileage 60,000 km. The
belt must be replaced every 4 years, regardless of distance travelled.

ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the dipstick
3.
If the level of the oil is close to or below
the MIN mark, add oil via the filler fitting
2 until the MAX mark is reached.
133)42)
Take out the engine oil dipstick 3, clean it
with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
43)3)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km. When
the car is new, the engine needs to be run
in; therefore the engine oil consumption
can only be considered stabilised after
the first 5000 - 6000 km.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
1 of reservoir and add the fluid described
in the "Technical Specifications" chapter.
44)134)
WINDSCREEN / REAR WINDOW
WASHING FLUID
If the level is too low, raise the reservoir
cap 6 and add the fluid described in the
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
135) 136)
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system will not operate when the fluid
level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. For
versions/markets, where provided, there
is a reference notch on the dipstick (see
previous pages): ONLY the
windscreen/rear window wiper operates
with the level below this reference.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too low,
undo the reservoir cap 4 and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
45)137) 138)
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ACTIVATIONSYSTEM OIL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
4)
IMPORTANT
41)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are not
compatible with each other! Topping up with
an unsuitable fluid could severely damage
your vehicle.42)The oil level must never exceed the MAX
reference.
43)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
44)Use a fluid of the same type as that
already present in the reservoir for any
topping up of the engine cooling system. The
fluid cannot be mixed with other types of
antifreeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
45)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen, immediately
wash with water.
WARNING
131)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
132)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Do not get too close to
the radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may
start; danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
133)If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (where provided). WARNING:
risk of burns!
