DISPLAY
The car is equipped with a reconfigurable
multifunction display that, according to
the previously applied settings, will show
useful driving information.
With the ignition key removed, the
display lights up and shows the time and
total odometer reading (in km or miles)
for a few seconds when a door is
opened/closed.
RECONFIGURABLE MULTIFUNCTION
DISPLAY
The following information is shown on the
display (example given in fig. 38 ):
1: Time
2: Area reserved for messages
(information, settings, etc)
3: Milometer (total distance covered
in km or miles).4: Car status indications (e.g. doors open,
possible ice on road, etc.)/Start&Stop
function indication (for versions/
markets, where provided)/Gear Shift
Indicator (for versions/markets, where
provided)
5: Headlight alignment position (only with
dipped beam headlights on)
6: External temperature
The turbocharger pressure will appear on
some versions when “DYNAMIC” driving
mode is selected (see “Alfa DNA system”
in this chapter).GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear through
a special indication on the display.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is advisable
to stick to “Natural” or “All Weather”
mode and to follow the suggestions of
the Gear Shift Indicator, where traffic
conditions permit.
When the SHIFT UP icon
is shown on
the display the GSI suggests the driver to
up-shift, whereas if the SHIFT DOWN
icon
is displayed, the driver is advised
to down-shift.
The indication in the instrument panel
remains on until the driver shifts gear or
the driving conditions go back to a
situation where gearshifting is not
required to improve consumption.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative
to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, 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.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the
malfunction is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
LOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is turned to
MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below
the minimum level, possibly due to leaks in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when the handbrake is engaged. If the car is moving an
acoustic signal is also emitted.Release the handbrake, then check that the warning light
has switched off.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) stays on,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either an anomaly 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 sharply.Drive very carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.
AIRBAG FAILURE
The 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 switches on constantly, this indicates a
fault in the airbag system.
22) 23)
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the vehicle
stationary and the driver’s seat belt not fastened.
The warning light flashes and a buzzer sounds if the car is in
motion and the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal (buzzer)
of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. The system can be reactivated using
the Setup Menu.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes on, but should go out as soon
as the engine is started.
After turning the ignition key to MAR, wait for about 2 seconds before starting the
engine.
The warning light switches on constantly together with a message on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that engine oil pressure
is low.
IMPORTANT Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been solved.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity, always check using the dipstick.
17)
DEGRADED ENGINE OIL (for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with a dedicated 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;
- for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil is
changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the same mode, until the oil is changed. A specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets, where provided) in addition to the
warning light. If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault, but
simply informs that it is now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of
the car. Engine oil deterioration is accelerated by:
- mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process more
frequent;
- use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its
regular operating temperature;
- repeated interruptions of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF warning
light switching on.Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as
possible.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. The warning light turns on when the engine is
overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir is
not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to
cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up
with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually
for any fluid leaks. Should the warning light turn on again
at the next start-up, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions: (e.g. in
high-performance driving): slow down and, if the warning
light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes
with the engine running and slightly accelerated to further
favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check
that the coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
ALFA TCT FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light flashes (together with a message in the
display and an acoustic signal) to indicate that the gearbox
is faulty.
The warning light can switch on even in the case of
transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding
use. In this case an engine performance limitation is
carried out.Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
If it is necessary to start the engine with a transmission
failure, follow the procedure described in the "Alfa TCT"
paragraph, in chapter "Starting and driving".
SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the car exceeds the
speed limit value set in the Setup Menu (e.g. 120 km/h).
On some versions a message is shown along with a symbol
on the display, and an acoustic signal is emitted.

REAR FOG LIGHTS
This warning light comes on when the rear fog lights are
switched on.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on to indicate a system fault. In
this case the braking system maintains its efficiency
unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system.Drive carefully and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible.
