Parking The Vehicle - Alfa Romeo STELVIO 949 Owner's Handbook Manual

30) When the engine stopped never leave
the ignition device in the ON position to
prevent useless current draw from draining
the battery.
31) Warning light will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be regularly
used, but an Alfa Romeo Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
32) A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
