Symbol What it means
EXTERNAL LIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol turns on to indicate a failure in the following lights: daytime running lights (DRLs); parking lights; trailer
direction indicators (where provided); trailer lights (where provided); side lights; direction indicators; rear fog light;
reversing light; brake lights; number plate lights; LED dipped beam headlights (where provided).
The anomaly may be caused by a blown bulb, a blown protection fuse or an interruption of the electrical connection. In
this case, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) FAILURE (where provided)
The symbol lights up to indicate an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) failure. In this case, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as possible.
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process. The symbol stays off during the entire DPF regeneration and lights
up only when driving conditions require the driver to be notified.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver
is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the car in motion until the regeneration process is over. The process normally
takes about 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with
engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a defect of the car and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
WARNING Failure to follow the procedure provided for when the symbol comes on for a mileage equal to or greater
than 30 km or for a cumulative time equal to or greater than 2 hours, may result in the warning light
coming on
with consequent damage to the DPF device. Remember that if the warning light is on, it is necessary to go to
the Alfa Romeo Dealership to restore the correct function of the DPF.
