2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta engine

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.

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.

IGNITION DEVICEThe key can be turned to three different positions fig. 19:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system that requires the
ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start,
before the starting operation can be repeated.
If the ignition switch is tampered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services before driving again.
Always remove the key when you leave the car to
prevent someone from accidentally operating the
controls. Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children unattended in the car.
STEERING LOCKEngagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly and turn the ignition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with
type-approval requirements.Never remove the key while the car is moving. The
steering wheel will lock as soon as it is turned. This
holds true for cars being towed as well.

There are also another 4 positions (see diagram below fig. 37):
(Position A) Air flow distribution between centre/side dashboard
vents, rear diffuser and windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting ventilates
the passenger compartment well and prevents the windows
from misting up.(Position B) Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to
warm up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.(Position C) Air flow distribution between footwell diffusers (hotter
air) and centre/side dashboard diffusers and rear diffuser
(cooler air).(Position D) Automatic demisting/defrosting activation (see
description in previous pages).
START&STOPManual climate control
If the Start&Stop function is activated (engine off when the car speed is
zero), the system keeps the air flow selected by the user.
In these conditions, the compartment cooling and heating cannot be
guaranteed, as the compressor stops with the engine coolant pump.
The Start&Stop function can be deactivated to enhance the operation
of the climate control system by pressing the dedicated button on
the dashboard.

AIR RECIRCULATION AND
ENABLEMENT OF AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System)The air recirculation is managed according to the following operating
logics:
❒automatic activation: text A on button B lit;
❒forced activation (inside air recirculation always on): indicated by
the LED on the button
A and text A off;
❒forced deactivation (air recirculation always off, air drawn in from
the outside): indicated by the LED on the
buttons A switching
off and text A on button B off.
Forced activation/deactivation can be selected by pressing the
button A.
When the
button is pressed (button E off), the climate control system
automatically activates internal air recirculation (LED on the
button A on). It is still possible to activate outside air
recirculation (LED on the button off) and vice versa, by pressing the
button
A.
The AQS (Air Quality System) function cannot be activated when the
button is pressed (LED on button E off).
AQS (Air Quality System) function activation
The AQS function automatically activates internal air recirculation
when the outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after a preset time interval
of the internal air recirculation system functioning, the climate control
system enables the intake of outside air for approximately one minute
to change the air in the passenger compartment. This takes place
regardless of the pollution level of the outside air.IMPORTANT The engagement of the recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating/cooling conditions faster. It is,
however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting up inside
(especially if the climate control system is off). When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is forced off (air drawn in from the
outside) to prevent the windows from misting up.
In automatic operation, recirculation is managed automatically by the
system according to outside environmental conditions.
It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low to prevent the windows
from rapidly misting up.
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPRESSORPress button C to activate/deactivate the compressor (activation is
indicated by the lit LED on the button). The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off, even after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is switched off the system deactivates air
recirculation to prevent the windows from misting up and deactivates
the AQS function. In this case, although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the AUTO LED switches off.
The temperatures will instead flash for a few seconds if the required
temperature cannot be maintained.
To restore automatic control of compressor engagement, press button C
again or press the AUTO button.
