Low engine oil pressure (red)
v
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is
started. There is sometimes a brief delay before the warn-
ing light goes out. In the event of insufficient oil pressure (warn-
ing light remains on constantly) the display will show the dedicat-
ed message.
Oil degraded (Diesel versions)
The warning light flashes when the system detects that the en-
gine oil has degraded.
After the initial signalling, each time the engine is started, the v
warning light will continue to flash cyclically for 3 minutes with
intervals of 5 seconds with the warning light OFF until the oil is
changed.
If warning light v is flashing, go to a Alfa
Romeo Authorised Service immediately to have the
engine oil changed and the warning light in the in-
strument panel will go out. Failure to do so may adversely
affect the validity of the warranty.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you will
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate
the steering wheel will be increased. Steering is, however, possi-
ble. In this case contact your nearest Alfa Romeo Authorised Ser-
vice. The display will show the dedicated message.
Electric power steering failure (red)
g
This warning light comes on when the ignition key is

onds.
