INEFFICIENT EBD
(red) (amber)
The turning on at the same
time of the x and > warning
lights (on some versions the
message + symbol are shown
on the display) with the engine
running indicates an EBD system failure; in
this case heavy braking may cause rear
wheels to lock before time, with the possi-
bility of skidding.
Driving extremely carefully, immediately
contact the nearest Alfa Romeo Authorised
Service to have the system checked.

PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
(upon request for versions/
markets where applicable)
With the passenger’s Air bag engaged,
turning the ignition key to MAR the warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off after
approximately 4 seconds.
The warning light turns on when the pas-
senger’s front Air bag is deactivated.
VDC SYSTEM
(if fitted) (amber)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off after
a few seconds.
If the warning light does not go out or
stays on when travelling (on some versions
together with the message + symbol shown
on the display), contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services.
The flashing of the warning light when trav-
elling indicates the cutting in of the VDC sys-
tem.
The warning light F also
shows a failure of the ¬
warning light. This condition is sig-
nalled by the flashing of the F
warning light over the normal 4 sec-
onds. In this case the ¬ warning
light may fail to signal possible faults
in the restraining systems. Before
going on, contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Services to have the sys-
tem checked.
