2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta key

JUMP STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole A fig. 84 of the
car battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point.
49)
IMPORTANT
10) If you wish to run the air
conditioning system, you may
deactivate the Start&Stop system
to allow continuous operation of
the air conditioning system.
WARNING
48) When replacing the battery,
always contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should
have the same characteristics.49) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the engine is off
and that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the dedicated
label on the front crossmember
(fig. 85). We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the car.
The car should always be left after
the key has been removed or
turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the
ignition key is in the STOP
position).

iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is anyway
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS system needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions) which starts when the
RESET procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning light
may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at
MAR-ON, press the button
fig. 86 on
the dashboard for 2 seconds; after
the RESET, the display shows the
message "RESET SAVED", indicating
that the "self-learning" has started.

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.

PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
These are located in the car's front
bumper fig. 89 and rear bumper fig. 90
and their function is to inform the driver,
through an intermittent acoustic signal,
about the presence of obstacles in
front of and behind the car.ACTIVATION
Version with rear
sensors
On the versions with 4 rear sensors, the
system is activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
Version with front and
rear sensors
On the versions with 4 front sensors
and 4 rear sensors, the system is
activated when the reverse gear is
engaged or by pressing the button
fig. 91.
When reverse gear is released, the front
and rear sensors remain activated
until a speed of around 15 km/h
is exceeded to allow the parking
manoeuvre to be completed.The system can also be activated by
pressing the button
in the central
tunnel: a LED in the button switches on
when the system is activated.
Every time the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON the LED on the button
flashes briefly to indicate that the
system is running a diagnosis. The LED
activation should not be understood
as a fault.
The sensors are deactivated by
pressing the button
again or when
a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: the
LED in the button is off when the
system is not active.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display fig. 99.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or
"All Weather" mode and to follow the
suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator,
where the traffic conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, when the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon is displayed, it advises
the driver to engage a lower gear.NoteThe indication in the instrument
panel remains on until the driver shifts
gear or the driving conditions go back
to a situation where gearshifting is
not required to improve consumption.
WELCOME MOVEMENT
On some versions, when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, the following
occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of
the speedometer and rpm gauge;
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display;
❒displaying of an animated graphic
representation of the vehicle profile.
Gauge movement
❒If the key is removed from the ignition
switch whilst the gauges are moving,
they immediately go back to their
initial position.
❒Once they have reached the full scale
values, the gauges rest on the value
indicated by the vehicle.
❒The movement of the gauges stops
when the engine is started.Lighting of graphic
symbols/display
A few seconds after the key is inserted,
the gauges, graphic symbols and
display light up in sequence.
Display of graphic
animation
When the key is removed from the
ignition switch (with the doors closed),
the display remains lit up and shows
a graphic animation.
The display lighting is then dimmed
gradually until it goes out completely.
