Glowplugs
m
(JTD and JTD 20V Multijet
versions)
The warning light comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR position.
When the glowplugs have reached the
established temperature the warning
light will go out. Start the engine as
soon as the warning light has gone out.
For versions/markets where applica-
ble, the warning light flashes for approx.
30 seconds after starting the engine
meaning that there is a fault to the glow
plug warning system, in which case,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
With a high ambient temperature the
warning light may turn on imperceptibly.

Presence of water
c
in the fuel oil filter
(JTD and JTD 20V Multijet
versions)
When the ignition key is turned to the
MAR position the warning light should
come on and must go out after approx. 4
seconds.
The warning light switches on fixed
when driving, to indicate the presence of
water in the fuel oil filter.
In case the indicator light switches on,
even if just for a few seconds, we recom-
mend to contact an Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Service as soon as possible in order
to purge the water from the fuel oil filter
and avoid severe damages to the injec-
tion pump and to the fuel oil supply cir-
cuit as well as the engine irregular opera-
tion.

Faulty ABS anti
wheel-locking
This warning light comes on when the
system is inefficient. In this case normal
braking is ensured without though, mak-
ing use of the ABS system. Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services should however be
contacted as soon as possible.
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR the warning light comes on but
must go out after approx. 4 seconds.
WARNING
The car is fitted with an
electronic braking device
(EDB). If the > and x warning
lights turn on at the same time, this
means that there is an EBD system
fault; in this case violent braking
may be accompanied by early rear
wheel locking, with the possibility
of skidding. Drive the car ex-
tremely carefully to the nearest
Authorized Alfa Romeo workshop
to have the system checked.
