Alfa Romeo MiTo 2016, Owner'S Handbook Manual

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel 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. Always refer to the
information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the
malfunction is eliminated.

What it means What to do
LOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is turned to
MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, possibly due to leaks in the
circuit.
Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on
when the handbrake is engaged. If the car is moving an
acoustic signal is also emitted.
Release the handbrake, then check that the warning light
has switched off.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) stays on,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
