ON CONSTANTLY: Low engine oil pressure (red)
FLASHING: Exhausted engine oil
(for versions/markets, where provided - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but it should go out as soon as the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on constantly along with a message on the
display (for versions/markets where provided) when the system
detects that engine oil pressure is low.
v
If the warning light
v
turns on when the car is
travelling (on some versions, together with the
message on the display), stop the car immediate-
ly and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
2. Exhausted engine oil
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on flashing and a specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following ways, depending on the
versions:
❍
for 1 minute every two hours;
❍
for three minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals
of five 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 ways as described
above, until the oil is changed. A specific message will appear on
the display (for versions/markets where provided) in addition to
the warning light.
Flashing of the warning light is not a fault but indicates that the
oil needs to be changed as a consequence of normal use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the following circumstances:
❍
mainly urban use of the car , requiring more frequent regeneration of the DPF;
❍
use of the car for short drives, in which the engine does not
have time to reach its regular operating temperature
❍
repeated interruptions to the regeneration process signalled by
the DPF warning light coming on.
Exhausted engine oil should be replaced as soon
as possible after the warning light comes on, and
never more than 500 km after it first comes on.
Failure to comply with the instructions above may result
in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that the operation of this warning light
is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, do not simply top up when the light starts flashing.

Hot engine coolant (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is over-
heated. A specific message will be shown on the display.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❍
when driving normally: stop the car, switch off the engine and
check that the water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. If it is not, wait for a few minutes 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.
Also visually check for leaks. If the warning light comes on again
at the next engine start-up, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
❍
if the car is used under demanding conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to assist better coolant circulation.
Then switch the engine off. Check correct fluid level as described
above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding journeys, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before switching it off.
u
Door open (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) comes
on when one or more doors or the boot are not perfectly
closed. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and
the car moving. On some versions, the warning light (or symbol
on the display) also lights up when the bonnet is not perfectly
closed.
´
EOBD/injection system fault (amber)
Under normal conditions, the warning light comes on
when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but should
go off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving, that
means that the injection system is not working properly; in particular, if the warning light comes on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high fuel consumption.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, you can continue travelling at moderate
speed without demanding excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears, but the indication is stored in the system.

DPF (particulate trap) cleaning in
progress (diesel versions with DPF
only) (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
turns on but should go off after a few seconds. The warning light
stays on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require notification to the driver. The warning light will go off if the car stays in motion until
regeneration has been completed.
The process normally takes about 15 minutes. Optimal conditions
for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h
with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
Operation of this warning light does not indicate a fault and the car
does not need to be taken to a workshop. A specific message will
appear on the display when the warning light comes on (for versions/markets where provided).

X
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and the laws in force. The
engine may be turned off while the DPF light is on;
however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process
may result in premature degradation of the engine oil.
For this reason, it is always advisable to wait for the light
to go off before turning off the engine, following the instructions appearing above. It is not a good idea to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
