2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia refuelling

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLINGDo not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital
components of the supply system.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with mechanical gearbox
Make sure the electric parking brake is engaged, press the clutch pedal and then press the ignition button briefly.
Versions with automatic transmission
Make sure that the electric parking brake is engaged and that the transmission is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the brake pedal and then press the
ignition device button.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.

Symbol What it means
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving, along to indicate the presence of water in the diesel filter.18)
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants (particulate)
through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. On average, the process lasts
15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 37 mph (60 km/h) with engine speed
above 2,000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a fault and thus it should not be taken to a workshop.
IMPORTANT
18)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately
after refuelling, water has probably been introduced into the tank: stop the engine immediately and contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Symbol What it means
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this case an engine
performance limitation is carried out.
Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or idling.
TOW HOOK FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the tow hook.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
AUDIO SYSTEM FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the audio system.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.

Let’s get to the core of the vehicle: seeing how you can exploit all
of its potential to the full. We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome companion, with our comfort
and our wallets in mind.

The table below shows the approximate
distances for each area fig. 115:
ZoneDistance from the
rear of the vehicle
Red 0 ÷ 11.8 in (30 cm)
Yellow11.8 in
(30 cm) ÷ 3.3

Green 3.3 ft (1 m) or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range. of the
video cam.
WARNING
115)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow
speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
IMPORTANT
47)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while cleaning
it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
camera must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations which use
steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do
not apply stickers to the camera.
REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
Always stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
116) 117) 118)
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles

118
STARTING AND DRIVING

after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds in
order for the fuel to flow inside the tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler, close the plug and then close the
flap.
The label indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol,
DIESEL=diesel fuel), fig. 117.Emergency fuel flap opening
In the event of an emergency the fuel flap
can be opened by operating from inside
the boot.
Proceed as follows:
open the boot and reach the
emergency opening cable placed on the
side of the fuel filler;
pull the cord to unlock the fuel flap,
open the fuel flap by pressing on it
(see the previous instructions).
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is
washed with a high-pressure jet, keep it
at a distance of at least 10 in (20 cm).
WARNING
116)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/plugs
could cause a pressure increase inside the
tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
117)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
118)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
