Alternator Failure - Alfa Romeo GIULIETTA Owner's Handbook Manual

Warning lights on
panel

ALTERNATOR FAILURE

The warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off
as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine idling a brief delay before switching off is
red
acceptable).
63) If the warning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR-ON or if it stays on when driving (together
with the message on the display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
64) Failure of the warning light is signalled by the flashing for longer than the usual 4 seconds of the
(located in the trim above the internal rear view mirror). In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the
passenger side airbag. In this case, the
proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
