2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta boot

Opening
Press flap A fig. 94 to release it and
access fuel tank cap B. Then press cap
B and turn it anticlockwise.
61)
The cap is provided with a loss
prevention device C which attaches it
to the flap and prevents it from being
lost. Attach the cap to device D during
refuelling.
Emergency flap opening
In case of emergency, pull the cord A
fig. 95 on the right-hand side of the
boot to open the fuel flap.
Pulling the cord will unlock the flap: it
will then be necessary to press on
the flap to open it.Closure
Release cap B from device D and insert
it in its housing. Then tighten the cap
clockwise until one or more clicks
are heard. Finally, close flap A checking
that it is correctly locked.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
WARNING
61) Keep naked flames or lit
cigarettes away from the fuel tank
filler: fire risk. Avoid bringing
your face close to the filler, in
order not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The 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.94A0K0598

(for versions/markets, where provided)
With this function it is possible to turn
on the side lights, the number plate
lights and the ceiling lights for
approximately 25 seconds when the
doors or boot are opened using the
remote control, with the following
exceptions:
❒interruption after 5 seconds from
when the door closes

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.
108) The Launch control function is
only available in Dynamic mode.
Regardless of what is explicitly
indicated in the description of
these modes, the ESC and ASR
systems are deactivated during
operation of the Launch Control
function. This means that vehicle
dynamic control is the sole
responsibility of the driver.
Therefore pay the utmost
attention when using the Launch
Control. Take into account traffic
and road surface conditions and
during manoeuvres make sure
there is enough room in the area
concerned.
SAVING FUEL
Here 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.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These
accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a trailer
if possible.
Electrical devices
Use the electrical devices only for the
necessary amount of time. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
screen wipers and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake increases
fuel consumption (by up to +25% in
an urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use the air vents
when the temperature outside permits.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption.

RAISING THE CAR
If the car needs to be jacked up, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership which is
equipped with shop jacks and jack
arms.
