2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta weight

If reverse (R) is engaged, only engage
the 1
stgear (or vice versa) when the car
is completely stopped.
Although it is highly inadvisable, if you
are driving downhill and, for unexpected
reasons, you let the car move forward
with the transmission in neutral (N),
when there is a request to engage
a gear, depending on the speed of the
car, the system will automatically
engage the best gear for the correct
transmission of drive torque to the
wheels.
107)IMPORTANT
21) If the car is on a gradient, always
pull the handbrake BEFORE
placing the gear lever in P.
22) Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed
and accelerator fully released.
WARNING
106) Using the levers incorrectly
(levers pushed towards the
dashboard, see fig. 137) could
break them.
107) Never leave children
unattended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key when
leaving the car and take the key
with you.
SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which can
help you to save fuel and lower harmful
emissions.
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Checks and adjustments should be
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” (see
chapter “Maintenance and care”).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four 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.
164
STARTING AND DRIVING

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running temperature.
This results in a significant increase
in consumption levels (from +15 to
+30% on the urban cycle) and
emissions.
Traffic and road
conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in large towns with
many traffic lights. Winding mountain
roads and rough road surfaces also
adversely affect consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) switch off the engine.
TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT
The vehicle must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fit any specific and/or additional rear
view mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer reduces the
load capacity of the car by the same
amount. Consider the weight at full
load, including accessories and
luggage, to make sure you do not
exceed the maximum towable weight
(shown in the registration document).
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
install a tow hook.
108) 109)
WARNING
108) The ABS with which the car is
equipped will not control the
braking system of the trailer.
Particular caution is therefore
required when travelling on
slippery roads.
109) Never modify the braking
system of the car to control the
trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the
car.

STARTING AND DRIVING

REPLACING A
WHEELGENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “Fix&Go
Automatic Kit”: see the paragraph
“Fix&Go Automatic Kit” for how to use
this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go
Automatic Kit” the car may be
requested with a space-saver wheel:
see the instructions on the following
pages for changing the wheel.
112) 113) 114) 115) 116)
JACK
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1
stgear
or reverse. Wear the reflective safety
jacket (compulsory by law) before
getting out of the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull
tab A fig. 139 and lift up the mat;
❒using wrench A fig. 140 positioned in
the tool box, loosen the locking
device, take the tool box B and place
it close to the wheel to be replaced,
then take the space-saver wheel C;❒take the wrench A fig. 141 and
loosen the fixing bolts by about one
turn. For versions with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate detachment
of the rim from the wheel hub.
❒position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed. On
versions where this is fitted, be
careful not to damage the plastic
aerodynamic guard;

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120
km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-
urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect
the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption figures than those measured.
