ON CONSTANTLY: Low engine oil pressure (red)
vFLASHING: 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
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.
10
Hot engine coolant (red)
uWhen 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.
´ |
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.
U |
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
hprogress (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).
14
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 com-
plete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
The warning light (for versions/markets where provided) comes on when the speed exceeds 120 km/h.
When the car exceeds the speed limit set in the setup Menu (e.g. 120 km/h), on some versions a message and a symbol are shown in the display and an acoustic signal is activated.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI system (Gear Shift Indicator) suggests to shift gear by showing an indication on the control panel (see fig. 9).
Shifting when indicated by GSI will help the driver save fuel.
For fuel-effective driving, select Normal or All Weather mode and follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator where possible.
When the SHIFT UP icon (N SHIFT) appears on the display, the GSI is suggesting to select a higher gear and when the SHIFT DOWN (O SHIFT) icon it is suggesting that a lower gear should be selected.
NOTE The indication on the instrument panel stays on until the driver shifts or until the driving conditions return to a situation in which shifting is not required to reduce consumption.
