2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta button

ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)ALARM ACTIVATIONThe alarm activates in the following cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door/bonnet/luggage compartment
(perimeter protection);
❒wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned to MAR);
❒cutting of the battery cables;
❒movement inside the passenger compartment (volumetric protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the car (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and visual signal
(flashing of the direction indicators for several seconds). The alarm
activation modes may vary according to the market. There is a
maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the
system returns to normal operation.
IMPORTANT The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition key
is extracted from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various
countries.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARMWith the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned to
STOP or removed, direct the key with the remote control towards the
car, then press and release the
button. Except for specific markets,
the system emits a visual and acoustic signal and enables door locking.
A self-diagnosis stage precedes the switching on of the alarm: in the
event of faults, the system will generate a further acoustic and/or
visual signal through the LED on the dashboard.
If after the alarm is switched on, a second acoustic signal is emitted
and/or a visual signal via the LED on the dashboard, wait about
4 seconds and switch off the alarm by pressing the
button, check
that the doors, bonnet and luggage compartment are closed correctly
and then reactivate the system by pressing the
button.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the doors, bonnet and
boot are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in system operation:
in this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated using the remote control, once
about 30 seconds have elapsed from when the ignition key was turned
to STOP and a door or the tailgate was last opened and then closed,
the alarm activates automatically.
This is indicated by the LED on the button A fig. 18 lighting up
intermittently and the indications of activation described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the
button on the remote control.
The alarm also activates when the doors are closed by turning the
metal insert of the key in the driver side door latch. If the system
self-activates, the doors are not locked.

Memorising driver’s seat positionsThe buttons C allow three different driver’s seat positions to be
memorised and recalled.
Memorisation and recall are possible with the ignition key in MAR
position and for 3 minutes after opening the driver's side door or until
the door is closed, even when the ignition key is in STOP position.
The memorisation of the position is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
To memorise a seat position, adjust it with the various controls, then
press the button where you want to memorise the position for several
seconds.
When a new seat position is memorised, the previously memorised
position on the same button is automatically overwritten.
Recalling a memorised position is also possible for about 3 minutes
after the doors are opened and about 1 minute after the ignition key is
turned to the STOP position.
To recall a memorised position, press the relevant button briefly.
Heated seats(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the ignition key at MAR, turn ring nut A fig. 23 to turn the

HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONTHead restraints are adjustable in height and they lock automatically
into the desired position:
❒upwards adjustment: raise the head restraint until it clicks into place;
❒downwards adjustment: press button A fig. 24 and lower the head
restraint.
Head restraints must be adjusted so that the head,
rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in this case
can they protect your head correctly.
To remove the head restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 24, then remove the head restraints by
pulling them upwards.
“Anti-Whiplash” device
The head restraints are equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device,
which reduces the distance between head and head restraint in the
event of a rear impact, thus mitigating the “whiplash” effect.
The head restraint may move when the backrest is pressed by the
occupant's torso or hand: this behaviour is caused by the system and
should not be considered a malfunction.
