FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WITH
RESERVE INDICATOR
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light K 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 log-
ics 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 temporarily
be indicated. This is due to the internal sys-
tem control logic and cannot be considered 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 tem-
perature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Normally the pointer should be towards
the middle of the scale. If the pointer reach-
es the higher temperatures of the scale (red
section, or white on certain versions) the re-
quest for car performance should be de-
creased.
The turning on of the u warning light (ver-
sions with digital multifunction display) or
of the message + symbol (versions with re-
configurable multifunction display) indicates
that the coolant fluid temperature is too
high; in this case, stop the engine and con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
IMPORTANT The temperature of the en-
gine coolant may rise towards the maximum
values (red section, or white on certain ver-
sions) when the car is driven at low speeds,
especially when the ambient air tempera-
ture is high. In this case it is advisable to
stop the car and switch off the engine for
a few minutes, after which the journey can
be resumed, preferably at a higher speed.
