2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta warning

113) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your car
is stationary. Passengers should
get out of the car, particularly if it
is heavily loaded, and wait for
the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. In the event of a
wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, chock the
wheels.
114) Car handling is modified with
the space-saver wheel fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast
cornering. The overall duration
of the space-saver wheel is of
about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced
with another one of the same
type. Never install a traditional
tyre on a rim designed to be used
as a space-saver wheel. Have
the wheel repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or
more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the bolt threads before you
fit them, because they could
suddenly come loose.115) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the car with which it
is supplied or on other cars of the
same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting
other car models. Never use it
for repair operations under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher
than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the
space-saver wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use
a standard wheel from the rear
axle and install the space-saver
wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow
chains.
116) Incorrect hub cap assembly
may cause it to come off when the
car is moving. Never tamper with
the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Regularly
check the inflation pressure of the
tyres and space-saver wheel
(see chapter "Technical
specifications").
IMPORTANT
26) Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership as soon as possible to
have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

REPLACING THE BOTTLE
Proceed as follows:
❒release coupling A fig. 157 and
disconnect tube B;
❒turn the bottle to be replaced
anticlockwise and raise it;
❒fit the new bottle and turn it
clockwise;
❒insert coupling A and tube B in
position.
IMPORTANT
27) In the event of a puncture
caused by foreign bodies, the kit
may be used to repair tyres
showing damages on the tread or
shoulder up to max. 4 mm
diameter.
IMPORTANT
2) Dispose of the bottle and the
sealant properly. Dispose of the
components in compliance with
national and local regulations.
WARNING
117) Give the booklet to the
technicians who will be handling
the tyre that was treated using
the "Fix&Go Automatic" kit.
118) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre may not be repaired. Do not
use the kit if the tyre is damaged
due to travelling when flat.
119) Wear the protective gloves
provided with the kit.
120) Apply the adhesive label where
it can be easily seen by the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick repair
kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Do not accelerate or brake
suddenly.
121) If the pressure has fallen below
1.8 bar, do not drive any further:
the Fix&Go Automatic kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because
the tyre is too damaged. Contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.

IN AN EMERGENCY

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.
IMPORTANT
28) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by holding the metallic 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 the case
of accidental contact, rub the
lamp with a cloth and spirit and
leave to dry.
WARNING
126) Changes or repairs to the
electrical system carried out
incorrectly and without due
consideration for the technical
specifications of the system may
lead to malfunctioning and
generate a fire hazard.
127) Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If they break,
glass fragments could fly
everywhere.
128) Due to the high supply voltage,
gas discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon)
should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of
death! Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
129) If the fuse blows again contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
130) Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
131) If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
132) Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key has been removed and that all the other services are
switched off and/or deactivated.
133) Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), power unit system (engine, gearbox) or
steering system general protection fuse blows.
195

RAISING THE CARIf the car needs to be jacked up, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership which is
equipped with shop jacks and jack
arms.
IMPORTANT Be careful when
positioning the arm of the lift for
versions with side skirts.
TOWING THE CARThe tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box in the boot.
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Release plug A by pressing the lower
part, take tow hook B from its housing
in the tool support and tighten it
securely on the front threaded pin (fig.
183) or on the rear threaded pin (fig.
184).
134) 135) 136)
WARNING
134) Before towing, turn the ignition
key to MAR-ON and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered. Also
check that the gearbox is in
neutral (on versions equipped with
Alfa TCT automatic transmission,
check that the gear lever is inN
position)

SCHEDULED
SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has
prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every
30,000 kilometres (for 1.4 petrol
versions) or every 35,000 kilometres (for
1750 Turbo Petrol and diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check
level of liquids, tyre pressure, etc.)
before 30,000/35,000 km and between
these services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership according to a
set time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out only with your explicit
agreement. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2,000 km from the next service
operation the display will show a
message.
The Scheduled Services intervals are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure
to comply with the schedule may
invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
