Low oil pressure (*)
In normal conditions, when turning
the key to
MAR
the warning light
should illuminate, and should go off once the
engine has started. If the warning light remains
on or illuminates while driving, this indicates
a too low engine oil pressure. In this case,
turn the engine off immediately and carry out
the necessary checks. If the problem persists,
contact an
Authorised Service Centre of the
Manufacturer’s Network
.
High catalytic converter
temperature
This warning light comes on if the
engine runs irregularly with consequent high
temperature in the exhaust system.
CAUTION
The following message is
displayed with the warning light
illumination: “High catalytic converter
temperature”: the catalytic converter
temperature is too high. The driver
must slow down immediately until the
warning light turns off.
Catalyst temperature
too high
CAUTION
If the message “High catalytic
converter temperature” persists
after decelerating and the warning
light turns red, it means that the
temperature in the catalytic converters
has reached a dangerous level and the
catalytic converters could be damaged.
The vehicle reverts to a “security”
mode, limiting engine performance.
Stop the vehicle and wait until the
exhaust system has cooled down.
CAUTION
If the red warning light stays
on, stop the vehicle and restart it
by turning the key off and then back
to on. If the red warning light still
stays on, slowly drive to the nearest
Authorised Service Centre of the
Manufacturer’s Network.
CAUTION
Alfa Romeo declines all
responsibility for damage to persons
or things deriving from failure to
observe the above warnings.
Low Q-Select gearbox oil
The red symbol indicates that the
gearbox oil is low; stop the vehicle
and contact an
Authorised Service Centre
of the Manufacturer’s Network
to have the
vehicle checked.
Q-Select gearbox failure
It indicates a failure of the
electronically-controlled gearbox.
If the failure permits, slowly drive to
an
Authorised Service Centre of the
Manufacturer’s Network .
