I recently bought a lovely 156 Lusso from a dealer. He carried out a service (oil, plugs & filter) before I picked it up. The mileage recently went past 36k and now a message remimding me a service is due is displayed each time I fire her up.
Can I reset this myself? If so how?

Cheers,
Happy Alfa owner.

What year is it? The routine is different depending on which dashboard you have.

Engine on, but not moving, press Info, scroll through to service, enter it and then hold the + & - keys for 10 secs.

Does anyone know how to change the climate control display from degrees F to C? I've got the thermometer in C and the climate control in F and can't find an option to alter the latter...

Alex, it can only be done on a 156 through the plug-in Examiner I'm afraid.
Mine was exactly the same.

I thought that'd probably be the case, just always forget when I put it in for a service!

Will have to try harder to remember next time.

Thanks for the reply, Alex
