2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta headlight

Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears correctly. It
is therefore essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and do not
get in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal components.
SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which can help you to save fuel and lower
harmful emissions.GENERAL CONSIDERATIONSCar maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” (see chapter “Maintenance and care”).
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4 weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the car and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof after use. These
accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. It is better to use a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the time needed. The heated rear
window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan
require a considerable amount of energy; increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an urban cycle).

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same type and
power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is
intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to
the paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this section.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metal part
only. Touching the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted light and
even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are
not carried out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which may
cause small fragments of glass to be projected
outwards if the bulb is broken.
Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge
bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of death! Contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after heavy rain or
washing, the surface of headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or
form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the glass which does not indicate
a fault and does not compromise the normal operation of lighting
devices. The mist disappears quickly when the lights are turned on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending progressively towards
the edges.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUIDIf the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D and add the fluid described in
the chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer system will not operate when the
fluid level is low, even though the windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some versions/markets there is a reference
notch E on the dipstick (see previous pages): ONLY the windscreen/
rear window wiper operates beneath with the level below this
reference.
Do not travel with the windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of the system
without fluid could damage or cause rapid deterioration of some
system components.Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable: the engine compartment contains hot parts
which could cause a fire on contact.
BRAKE FLUIDCheck that the fluid is at the maximum level. If the fluid level in the
reservoir is too low, undo reservoir cap E and add the fluid described
in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the
event of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and neutral soap, then rinse
with plenty of water. Consult a doctor immediately if you
swallow the fluid.The symbol
on the container indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the mineral type.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond repair.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located inside the front bumper fig. 176.
They are activated when the dipped beam and/or main beam
headlights are on and the windscreen washer is activated.
Check the correct operation and cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
BODYWORKPROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTSThe car is equipped with the best available technological solutions to
effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒painting products and systems which give the car resistance to
corrosion and abrasion
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to
corrosion;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner wing, edges, etc;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture which could favour the formation of rust inside;
❒use of special films to protect against abrasion in exposed areas
(e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTYThe car is covered by warranty against perforation due to corrosion of
any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms
of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet.
