Trip A and B
The "Trip computer" can be used to
display, for all driving modes (Dynamic,
Normal, Advanced Efficiency) and with
the ignition device ON, the
measurements regarding the operating
state of the car. This function is
characterised by two separate records,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” (the latter can
be deactivated by the Connect system),
where the car’s “complete missions”
(journeys) are recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” allow you to see the
following values:

DNA™” system and are as follows:
Normal: The screen graphically
reproduces some parameters closely
linked to the efficiency of the driving
style, with a view to limiting consumption;
Advanced Efficiency: The three central
icons on the screen indicate the
effectiveness of the driving style, linked
to the following parameters:
acceleration, deceleration and gear
shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.
The globe (7" TFT Display) lights up
gradually according to lower
consumption.
Dynamic / Dynamic + (where
provided): The displayed parameters are
related to car stability, the graphs
illustrate the trend of the

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on 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. In the event of a failure indication, always
refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious faults.
Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a
shorter duration. You can stop the warning cycle in both cases by pressing the button located on the windscreen wiper lever. The
instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.

WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Possible detailed messages and/or acoustic signalling can be matched to a few warning lights and symbols.
Red warning lights
Warning
lightWhat it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly due to a leak in
the circuit.
Go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked as soon as possible.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged.
Release the electric parking brake, then check that the warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the car is parked on a gradient of more than 30% and/or the brake temperature is greater than 662°F (350°C),
when the parking brake is engaged, the warning light will flash to indicate a potentially unsafe condition.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates either a failure 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.

Warning
lightWhat it means
AIR BAG FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning
light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
25) 26)
FRONT SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side seat belt, with the
passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or
passenger side seat belt, with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened.
Fasten or check correct fastening of the front occupants' seat belts.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE
The warning light switches on in the case of engine oil overheating.
If the problem persists, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
12)
WARNING
25)The fault of thewarning light is signalled by the switching on of theicon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
26)If the
warning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
IMPORTANT
12)If the symbol switches on when driving, stop the vehicle and the engine immediately.

Amber warning lights
Warning
lightWhat it means
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS 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.
TPMS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when a failure is detected in the TPMS. Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors, the
display will show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and
steering. Immediately restore the correct inflation pressure using the Tire Repair Kit (see "Repairing a wheel" paragraph in the "In
an emergency" chapter) and contact the dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure
loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the message on the display is "See manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the contents of the "Wheels and
rims" paragraph in the "Technical data" chapter, strictly complying with the indications that you find there.
ESC SYSTEM
When the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
ESC system intervention: 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.
ECS system failure: If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found in the ESC
system.
In these cases, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
Hill Start Assist system failure: the switching on of the warning light indicates a Hill Start Assist system failure.
In these cases, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
PARTIAL / TOTAL DEACTIVATION OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
When the ignition device is brought to ON, the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on to indicate that some active safety systems have been partially or totally deactivated.
For further details about the active safety systems see the "Active safety systems" paragraph in the "Safety" chapter. When the
active safety systems are reactivated, the warning light switches off.
