2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia sport mode

3.5” TFT Display
7” TFT DisplayIn RACE mode (where provided) the
consumption indication index is not
active and a sports gearshift indicator is
displayed. The sports gearshift indicator
is represented by three yellow segments;
if the third indicator, characterized by the
wording "SHIFT", is on, it means that the
gear should be shifted.
7” TFT DisplayTrip A and B
The "Trip computer" can be used to
display, for all driving modes (Dynamic,
Normal, Advanced Efficiency and RACE)
and with the ignition device ON, the
measurements regarding the operating
state of the vehicle. This function is
characterised by two separate records,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” (the latter can
be deactivated by Connect system),
where the car’s “complete missions”
(journeys) are recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Active trip

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

"TPMS check" message with some
dashes (– –) instead of the pressure
values.
From the following ignition cycle, the
TPMS will not emit any acoustic signal
and the display will not show the
message "TPMS check", but the dashes
will be still displayed instead of the
pressure value.
WARNING
54)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about incoming
vehicles outside of the detection areas. The
driver must always maintain a sufficient
level of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the vehicle.
55)The Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
system is automatically deactivated when
RACE mode is selected.
56)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
57)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).58)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
59)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part (e.g.
another car, a wall or another obstacle), the
system may detect its presence and
activate. In this case the system must be
deactivated through the settings of the
Connect system.
60)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the spare
tyre, and correct maintenance: the system is
not used to signalling a possible tyre fault.
61)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when the
tyres are cold.
62)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the system will no longer be
available and a warning message will be
shown on the display, until wheels with
sensors are fitted again.
63)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
64)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.65)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed by
Alfa Romeo Dealerships.
66)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff. Contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.IMPORTANT
19)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
20)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with adhesives,
auxiliary headlights or any other object.
21)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
22)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front geometry,
tyre change, or a heavier load than the
standard load of the vehicle.
23)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership for any operation of this
type.

It is not possible to select N (Neutral)
mode from P (Park) mode.
P (Park) mode is automatically activated
if the following conditions are met
simultaneously:
D (Drive) or R (Reverse) mode is active;
the car’s speed is close to 0;
the brake pedal is released;
the driver’s seat belt is not fastened;
the driver’s door is open.
If using the gear shift in "sequential"
mode. you can activate it by moving the
lever from D (Drive) to the left and then
forward towards the - symbol or back
towards the + symbol and the gear is
shifted.
To exit position P (Park), or to pass from
position N (Neutral) to position D (Drive)
or R (Reverse) when the vehicle is
stopped or is moving at a low speed, the
brake pedal must also be pressed.
IMPORTANT DO NOT accelerate while
shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
a cold engine.
AutoStick - Manual (sequential)
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshifting (e.g.
for sport driving, when the vehicle is
driven with a heavy load, on slopes, with
strong headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
Autostick (sequential shifting) mode to
select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
In this condition, using the lowest gear
improves the car performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from position D
(Drive) to the sequential mode regardless
of vehicle speed.
Activation
Starting from D (Drive) mode, to activate
the sequential drive mode, move the
lever to the left (– and + indication of the
trim). The gear engaged will be shown on
the display.
Gearshifting is made by moving the gear
lever forwards, towards symbol – or
backwards, towards symbol +.Steering wheel stalks
(where provided)
The gear can be manually shifted also by
using the levers behind the steering
wheel, pull the right gear lever (+)
towards the steering wheel and release it
to engage a higher gear; perform the
same operation with the left lever (-) to
engage a lower gear fig. 105.
To engage N (Neutral): pull
simultaneously both levers.
To activate D (Drive) mode, from N
(Neutral), P (Parking) and R (Reverse):
push the brake pedal and the right lever
(+).
IMPORTANT When only one manual shift
is performed, the letter D will remain on
the display with the engaged gear next to
it.

ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has been
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret code
according to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits,
from 0 to 9: to insert the first digit of the
code, turn the Rotary Pad and press to
confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the Rotary Pad:
the system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, thesystem displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays "Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Wait for 30 min.".
After the text has disappeared it is
possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the
system. The vehicle radio passport shows
the system model, serial number and
secret code.
In the event that the radio passport is
lost, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you can
give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look at
the screen for a long time, pull over to a
safe place so as not to be distracted
while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in the
event of a fault. Otherwise the system
might be damaged. Contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system repaired.
