2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta lights

HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for the driver's comfort
and safety as well as for all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility
conditions for all drivers. Contact a Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted, if
necessary.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR position and the dipped
headlights on.
Headlight alignment
adjustment
To adjust, press the
and
fig. 74
buttons. The adjustment position is
shown on the display.
Position 0
: one or two occupants in the
front seats.
Position 1
: 4 people.
Position 2
: 4 people + load in luggage
compartment.
Position 3
: driver + maximum permitted
load stowed in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment
every time that the load carried
changes.
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with
Bixenon headlights, the headlight
alignment is controlled electronically, as
a consequence the
and
buttons
are not present.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Alfa Romeo Dealership to
have the headlights checked and
adjusted, if necessary.ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped headlights are aligned to
comply with the regulations of the
country of purchase. When travelling in
countries with opposite driving
direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers
on the other side of the road, you need
to cover areas of the headlight
according to the Highway code of the
country you are travelling in.

ENGAGEMENT/
DISENGAGEMENT OF
“Dynamic” MODE
Engagement
Move lever A fig. 75 upwards (next to
the letter “d”) and hold in this position
for 0.5 seconds until the corresponding
LED lights up or the word “Dynamic”
appears on the display (see fig. 78).
Upon release, lever A returns to the
central position.
ESC and ASR:intervention thresholds
that allow more enjoyable, sportier
driving whilst guaranteeing stability of
the vehicle.
"ELECTRONIC Q2" system:the
system is calibrated to increase traction
whilst accelerating on bends,
improving the vehicle agilitySteering wheel tuning:uses the
sports mode function.
DST:braking standard control
coordinated with ABS/ESC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration.
Oversteering compensation depending
on the ESC/ASR intervention
thresholds: a slight movement on the
steering wheel encourages the driver to
carry out the most appropriate
manoeuvre.
Engine:prompter response +
Overboost to maximise torque (for
versions/markets, where provided).
RAB:by pre-positioning of the brake
pads (front and rear) following a rapid
release of the accelerator pedal to
reduce braking times, shorten stopping
distances and improve the brake pedal
feeling.
The activation of the Dynamic mode is
also shown by the change in the
instrument panel lighting that, after
decreasing, reaches the highest
luminosity and then returns to the
previously set values.Disengagement
To deactivate “Dynamic” mode and
return to “Natural”, repeat the same
movement of the lever within the same
times. In this case, the LED
corresponding to “Natural” mode will
light up and the words “Natural on” will
appear on the display (see fig. 79).78

ENGAGEMENT/
DISENGAGEMENT OF
“All Weather” MODE
Engagement
Move lever A fig. 75 downwards (to the
letter “a”) and hold in this position for
0.5 seconds until the corresponding
LED lights up or the word “All Weather”
appears on the display (see fig. 80).
ESC and ASR systems:intervention
thresholds aimed at guaranteeing
the maximum safety in low grip driving
conditions. It is recommended to
activate the "All Weather" mode when
fitting snow chains.
"ELECTRONIC Q2" system:the
system is deactivated.
Steering wheel tuning:maximum
comfort.DST:higher braking control
coordinated with ABS/ESC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration.
Oversteering compensation depending
on the ESC/ASR intervention
thresholds: a slight movement on the
steering wheel encourages the driver to
carry out the most appropriate
manoeuvre.
Engine:standard response.Disengagement
To deactivate “All Weather” mode and
return to “Natural”, carry out the same
procedure described for “Dynamic”
mode, but move lever A fig. 75 to “a”.
IMPORTANT
❒It is not possible to switch directly
from “Dynamic” mode to “All
Weather” mode and vice versa. You
must always first go back to “Natural”
mode and then select the other
mode.
❒The driving mode engaged before the
engine stops is maintained when it is
next started.
❒In the event of system failure or a
fault with lever A, no driving modes
can be selected. The display will
show a warning message.80

EOBD SYSTEM
(European On
Board Diagnosis)(for versions/markets, where provided)
Operation
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on
the display, when these components
are no longer in peak condition (see
“Warning lights and messages”
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace
damaged components.The car also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools,
that makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control
units together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic control
authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to
check the system completely, the Alfa
Romeo Dealership is obliged to run
tests and, if necessary, road tests
which may also require a long journey.
DUAL PINION
ACTIVE STEERINGOperation
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR-ON and the engine started.
The steering allows the force required
at the steering wheel to be adjusted
to suit driving conditions. The different
power assistance modes can be
selected via the d, n, a positions of the
“Alfa DNA System” lever (see paragraph
entitled “Alfa DNA System”).
56)
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The warning light switches on
to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the
other or drive in a straight line for about
a hundred metres.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:
catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and
evaporation control system
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust
gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
62)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all carbon particle
emissions in compliance with
current/future regulations and
standards.During standard use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be periodically
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according
to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a
limited increase in the engine idle
speed, fan activation, a limited increase
in fumes and high temperatures at the
exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
normal car performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, in chapter "Knowing the
instrument panel".
WARNING
62) The catalytic converter and
particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not park
the car on flammable materials
(e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine
needles, etc.): fire hazard.
