FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WITH
RESERVE INDICATOR
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light K (A-fig. 76) turns
on to indicate that approx. 7 litres of fuel
are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT Under certain conditions
(heavy slopes, for instance), the reading on
the gauge may differ from the actual
amount of fuel in the tank and changes in
level may be indicated late.
This condition falls within the operation
logics of the electronic control circuit to
avoid highly unstable readings due to
swaying of the fuel when travelling.
IMPORTANT Refuelling shall always be
performed with engine off and ignition key
at STOP. If the engine is off but the key is
at MAR, a wrong fuel level could tem-
porarily be indicated. This is due to the inter-
nal system control logic and cannot be con-
sidered as a system malfunctioning.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
TEMPERATURE GAUGE WITH
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE
WARNING LIGHT
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and begins when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Normally the pointer should be towards
the middle of the scale. If the pointer
reaches the higher temperatures of the
scale (red area) the request for vehicle
performance should be decreased.
The turning on of the u (B-fig. 76)
warning light(on some versions together
with the message shown on the reconfig-
urable multifunction display) indicates that
the coolant fluid temperature is too high;
in this case, stop the engine and contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
IMPORTANT The temperature of the
engine coolant may rise towards the max-
imum values (red zone) when the vehicle
is driven at low speeds, especially when
the ambient air temperature is high. In
this case it is advisable to stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine for a few min-
utes, after which the journey can be
resumed, preferably at a higher speed.
