EOBD SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis
of the components of the car correlat-
ed with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light U on the instrument pan-
el (together with the message on the
display) (see section "Warning lights
and messages"), when these compo-
nents are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒ to keep system efficiency under con-
trol;
❒ to warn when a fault causes emis-
sion levels to increase;
❒ to warn of the need to replace de-
teriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic con-
nector that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possible
to read the error codes stored in the con-
trol unit, together with a series of spe-
cific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis. This check can also be
104
carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
inconvenience, to check the system
completely, Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices are obliged to run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may
also call for a long journey.
If when fitting the key
into the ignition device,
the warning light U
does not turn on or if, while
travelling it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing, contact
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services
as soon as possible. Warning
light U operation can be
checked by means of special
equipment by traffic agents.
Always comply with the traffic
regulations in force in the coun-
try where you are travelling.
SOUND SYSTEM
The car is fitted with sound system with
CD or MP3 CD player (for versions/
markets, where provided). As concerns
sound system operation, refer to the
Supplement attached to this Owner
Handbook.
