2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta key

When the remaining range is lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display will show a warning
message.
If the warning light flashes with the car in motion,
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.Cruise control (green)(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when the key is turned to MAR, but should
go out after a few seconds if the Cruise Control function is off.
The warning light comes on when the Cruise Control ring nut is turned
to the ON position (see the “Cruise Control” paragraph in this section).
The display will show the dedicated message.DPF (diesel particulate filter)
cleaning in progress (only
diesel versions with DPF)
(amber)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system
needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration,
but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To switch the warning light off, the car must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes. Optimal conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with
engine revs above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a car failure
and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
On some versions, together with the warning light, the display shows a
dedicated message.
The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic
and weather conditions and the driver must always
comply with the Highway Code. The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until
the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration
with the car stationary.Speed limit exceeded (red)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provided) comes on
when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h.

When the car exceeds the speed limit set in the Set-up Menu (e.g. 120
km/h), on some versions a message and a symbol are shown in the
display and an acoustic signal is activated.

DISPLAYThe car may be provided with a multifunction/reconfigurable
multifunction display that shows useful information to the user,
according to the previous settings, when driving.
With the ignition key removed, the display activates and shows the
time and total milometer reading (in km or miles) for a few seconds
when a door is opened/closed.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATORThe “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the driver to change
gear through a specific indication on the control panel fig. 7.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or "All Weather" mode and to
follow the suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator, where the traffic
conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a lower gear.
NoteThe indication in the instrument panel remains on until the driver
shifts gear or the driving conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve consumption.
WELCOME MOVEMENTOn some versions, when the key is turned to MAR-ON, the following
occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of the speedometer and rpm gauge;
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display;
❒displaying of an animated graphic representation of the vehicle
profile.
Gauge movement
❒If the key is removed from the ignition switch whilst the gauges are
moving, they immediately go back to their initial position.
❒Once they have reached the full scale values, the gauges rest on the
value indicated by the vehicle.
❒The movement of the gauges stops when the engine is started.
Lighting of graphic symbols/display
A few seconds after the key is inserted, the gauges, graphic symbols
and display light up in sequence.
Display of graphic animation
When the key is removed from the ignition switch (with the doors
closed), the display remains lit up and shows a graphic animation.
The display lighting is then dimmed gradually until it goes out
completely.

TRIP COMPUTERGENERAL INFORMATIONThe Trip computer is used to display information on car operation
when the key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car's "complete journey" in a
reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average fuel consumption
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
The “Trip B” function may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption" parameters cannot be reset.
VALUES DISPLAYEDRange
This indicates the indicative distance that may be travelled with the fuel
in the tank, assuming that driving conditions do not change.
The display will show the reading '-----' when the following events take
place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several factors: driving style
(see “Driving style” in the “Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of
use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the
above into account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since the start of the
new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated.
The display will show “----”ifthecarisparked with the engine
running.

SYMBOLSSome car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that summarises all the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition
key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition device. The
modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is
the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.OPERATIONEach time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the
Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement
code to the engine management control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has
recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE
system deactivates the functions of the engine management control
unit. If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. If you are
still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
