KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Possible detailed messages and/or acoustic signalling can be matched to a few warning lights and symbols.
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after
a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum
level, possibly due to a leak in the circuit.
Go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked as soon as possible.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged.
Release the electric parking brake, then check that the warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
WARNING If the car is parked on a gradient of more than 30% and/or the brake temperature is
greater than 662°F (350°C), when the parking brake is engaged, the warning light will flash to indicate
a potentially unsafe condition.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the (red) and (amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
AIR BAG FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after
a few seconds. If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
