WARNING LIGHTS
IMPORTANTThe number of warning lights present depends on the type of engine and equipment with which the car is fitted.
x
LOW BRAKE FLUID AND/OR HANDBRAKE ON
Turning the ignition key to MARthe warning light on the dial turns on, but it should go off after
approx. 4 seconds.
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the min-
imum level, due to a possible leak in the circuit and when the handbrake is engaged.
If the
xwarning light turns on when travelling check that the hand-
brake is not engaged. If the warning light stays on with the handbrake
off (on some versions together with the message + symbol shown on
the reconfigurable multifunction display) stop the car immediately and contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
u
HIGH ENGINE COOLANT FLUID TEMPERATURE
Turning the ignition key to MARthe warning light on the dial turns on, but it should go off after
approx. 4 seconds.
The warning light turns on (on some versions together with the message + symbol shown on
the reconfigurable multifunction display) when the engine is overheated. If it turns on when trav-
elling, stop the car, leaving the engine on and slightly accelerated to further activate the circula-
tion of the coolant fluid.
If the warning doesn’t go off within 2 or 3 minutes, stop the car immediately and contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services.

ers could not trigger in the event of collision or, in a restricted number of cas-
es, they could trigger accidentally. Stop the car and contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services.

ed by the flashing for more than the normal 4 seconds of the passen-
ger’s front air bag deactivated warning light.
