INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Instrument Cluster Display Description
This vehicle is equipped with a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument cluster. When one or more of the doors have been opened or closed and the ignition is in the OFF position, the instrument cluster will display the vehicle mileage for a few seconds.

Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster Display
During operation, the instrument cluster display is divided into multiple sections that show driving data, warnings, and failure indications.

1. Headlight Warning Lights
   • Displays the headlight warning light for either of the following active modes:
   • Headlights
   • Automatic Headlights
2. Gear Selector Information
   Displays the following information controlled by the gear selector function:
   • P = PARK
   • R = REVERSE
   • N = NEUTRAL
   • D = DRIVE, (automatic forward speed)
   • AutoStick: + shifting to a higher gear in manual (sequential) driving mode –shifting to a lower gear in sequential driving mode
3. Forward Collision, Lane Departure, Cruise Control
   • Displays operations for the following modes:
     • Forward Collision Warning (FCW) — If Equipped
     • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) — If Equipped
     • Cruise Control (CC) or Active Cruise Control (ACC) — If Equipped
4. Speed Limit Warning Light
   • Shows information regarding the Speed Limiter function.
5. Compass
6. Reconfigurable Main Area Can display the following screens:
   • Home
   • Trip A
   • Trip B (can be activated/deactivated through the Information and Entertainment System)
   • Performance
     The screens can be selected, on rotation, by pushing the MENU selection button on the windshield wiper stalk. Depending on the driving mode chosen using the Alfa DNA (Dynamic, Natural, and Advanced Efficiency, the screens can be graphically different. Navigation instructions and call information can be set and displayed in the Information and Entertainment System.
   • Home
     The parameters shown on the display, for the modes: Dynamic, Natural and Advanced Efficiency are:
     • Time
     • Outside Temperature
     • Current Speed (shown if the repeat modes of the Phone and Navigation functions are not active)
     • Range

Trip A And B
For all driving modes (Dynamic, Natural, and Advanced Efficiency) and with the ignition device ON, the “Trip computer” can be used to display the measurements regarding the operating state of the vehicle. This function is characterized by two separate records, called “Trip A” and “Trip B” (the latter can be deactivated by the Information and Entertainment System), where the “complete missions” (journeys) are recorded in a reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display the values relating to:

• Distance travelled
• Average fuel consumption
• Average speed
• Active trip
• Fuel consumption indicator

To reset the values, press and hold down the button on the windshield wiper stalk.

Performance
The displayed parameters differ according to the active mode. The modes which can be selected using the Alfa DNA system are:

• Natural

The screen graphically reproduces some parameters closely linked to the efficiency of the driving style, with a view to limiting consumption.

• Advanced Efficiency

Dynamic Driving Style
The three central icons on the screen indicate the effectiveness of the driving style, linked to the following parameters: acceleration, deceleration, and gear shifts, with a view to limiting consumption. The bar below the icons shows current consumption and the green line represents the optimal area. The globe lights up gradually according to lower consumption.

• Dynamic

Acceleration Gauge
The displayed parameters are related to vehicle stability, and the graphs illustrate the trend of the longitudinal/lateral accelerations (G-meter information), considering gravity acceleration as a reference unit. Lateral acceleration peaks are also indicated.

Vehicle Range
Indicates the miles left before the fuel tank is empty. Displays the position by indicating the cardinal direction.

Failure Warning Lights
Area dedicated to displaying failures, the following symbols could be displayed on rotation:

• Low criticality symbols (yellow amber)
• High criticality symbols (red)

Odometer
Indicates the total miles traveled. U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certifies to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/service so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.
