2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta key

SPEEDOMETER (SPEED
INDICATOR)
This shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
This indicates the engine rpm.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light in the gauge lights up
when there are only 8 to 10 litres of
fuel remaining in the tank; if this
happens, refuel as soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts supplying
indications when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
assumes different positions within
the scale depending on the usage
conditions.
The warning light turns on to indicate
an overheating of the engine coolant. In
this case, stop the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when
the key is turned to MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A"
and "Trip B", where the car's
"complete missions" (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
Both memories can be reset: i.e. 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

INDICATIONS ON THE
DISPLAY
Each time a value is displayed, the
following information is shown:
❒animated icon in the upper part fig.
103;
❒the word “Trip” (or “Trip A” or “Trip B”)
(B);
❒the name, value and unit of
measurement of the selected
parameter (e.g. “Range 1500 km”)
(C).
After a few seconds the name and
value of the selected parameter are
replaced by an icon fig. 104.The icons relating to the various
parameters are the following:
❒
"Range";
❒
"Average consumption A” (if
Trip A is active, or “B” if Trip B is
active);
❒
"Distance" (if Trip A is
active, or “B” if Trip B is active);
❒
"Instantaneous consumption";
❒"Average speed A” (if Trip A
is active, or “B” if Trip B is active);
❒"Trip time" (if Trip A is active, or
“B” if Trip B is active);TRIP BUTTON 0.00
The TRIP 0.00 button is located on the
right hand stalkfig. 105. With the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON, this
button allows you to view the previously

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESIMPORTANT The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These
indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the
information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redamberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red)
and
(amber) warning lights with the engine
on, indicates either a fault of the EBD system or
that the system is not available. In this case, the
rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle
may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system inspected
immediately.
redAIRBAG FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
If the warning light switches on constantly, this
indicates a fault in the airbag system.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redALTERNATOR FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off
as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine idling a brief delay before switching off is
acceptable).If the warning light (or symbol on the display)
stays on constantly or flashing, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
63) If the
warning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR-ON or if it stays on when driving (together
with the message on the display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
64) Failure of the
warning light is signalled by the flashing for longer than the usual 4 seconds of the
warning light
(located in the trim above the internal rear view mirror). In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the
passenger side airbag. In this case, the
warning light may not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before
proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.

redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
TOO HIGH
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds. The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.When driving normally: stop the car, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and
check that the level is between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. Also check visually for any
fluid leaks. Should the warning light turn on again
at the next start-up, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If the car is used under demanding conditions
(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the car.
Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to further favour the
coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check
the correct coolant level as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is
advisable to keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before switching it
