Alfa Romeo Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
When you see a service warning indicator, it's time to pay a visit to your local Alfa Romeo dealership. These handy lights on your instrument panel let you know that something is amiss with your vehicle's function, and an excellent service team will use computer diagnostics to quickly pinpoint the problem. Here are a few indicators to be on the lookout for.
Airbag Fault
Your airbag system has computer sensors that allow it to inform you, via the Airbag Fault light, that something isn't right with your supplemental restraint system. A certified auto mechanic can fix this issue.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This particular light may be one that you see most routinely. It indicates that your vehicle is low on fuel, and it's time to fill up.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
When your vehicle's oil pressure is low, it's not going to operate at optimal performance. Check your oil level to make sure you've got enough. If you don't, call our friendly service team to fix this issue.
Service Vehicle Soon
Your vehicle requires regular maintenance to stay in good health. Just like you need a routine checkup from a doctor, your car needs regular maintenance, too. Every vehicle suggests maintenance, depending on its mileage. So if you see a "Service Vehicle Soon" light, it might mean that your car is letting you know it's time for an oil change at 5,000 miles.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Your fully inflated tires make your vehicle safe to drive. However, sometimes your tire pressure monitoring system can malfunction and indicate a problem that simply doesn't exist. When this happens, it's time to bring it into the dealership. If your tires are fully inflated, but it's still showing this light, bring your vehicle to our service center. We'll be happy to help.
Slip Indicator
TRAC (Traction Control) and VSC (Vehicle Stability Management) are two safety systems in your vehicle that help to stabilize your vehicle and maintain maximum traction for your tires. The Slip Indicator shows that something is causing these two systems to trigger and try to regain control of the car. However, if the light is perpetually on, then it could be a malfunction with the systems themselves.
Charging System Warning Light
Your battery and circuit system are of paramount importance to your vehicle. Sometimes a broken fan belt or even faulty wiring can cause this light to come on. If your Alfa Romeo vehicle is showing this light, give us a call. We can help!
Brake System
A car with no brakes is a car nobody would want to drive. If something is triggering the ABS braking system light indicator, it's a surefire sign that you need to have the vehicle inspected by the dealer. You may still have a brake system that works, but if it's not 100%, it could cause safety issues while driving.
Open Door Warning Light
If one of your vehicle's doors isn't properly closed and secured, this light can come on. Simply check all your doors to ensure they're closed.
Coolant Level Warning
Sometimes your vehicle runs low on coolant. This is a simple fix that can be remedied by adding more coolant. However, if you've checked coolant levels and they're okay, your dealership may have to deactivate the light for you. Sometimes they can come on when there's not a problem.
