2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Temperature control

SWITCHING OFF/ON THE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Switching off the
climate control system
Press the
button (LED on button off).
With climate control off:
❒air recirculation is on, thus isolating
the passenger compartment from
the outside;
❒the compressor is off;
❒the fan is off;
❒the heated rear window can be
switched on or off;
❒the AQS (Air Quality System) function
(for versions/markets, where
provided) cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The climate control
system control unit stores the
temperatures set before the system
was switched off and restores them
when any button of the system is
pressed (except for button D).Switching on the climate
control system
To switch on the climate control system
in fully automatic mode press the AUTO
button.
START&STOP
Automatic Climate
Control
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Start&Stop function
(engine off when the car speed is zero)
to guarantee a suitable comfort inside
the car.
Specifically, the Start&Stop function is
turned off when the weather is
particularly hot or cold to guarantee an
adequate level of comfort inside the
passenger compartment; therefore, the
engine will not be stopped during
these transient conditions, even if the
speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active
(engine off at zero car speed), the
climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly
deteriorate (or if the user requests
maximum cooling – LO – or quick
demisting – MAX DEF).With the Start&Stop function on (engine
off at zero speed), air flow is reduced
to the minimum to maintain comfort
conditions inside the passenger
compartment as long as possible when
the system is in AUTO mode (LED N
on).
The climate control system control unit
attempts to manage the discomfort
caused by the engine stopping
(compressor and engine coolant pump
off) but operation of the climate control
system can be enhanced by turning
the Start&Stop off by pressing the
dedicated button on the dashboard.
NoteIn particularly severe climate
conditions it is recommended to limit
the use of the Start&Stop function
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.
NoteWhen the Start&Stop function is
on (engine off and vehicle speed zero),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of window misting up (as the
compressor is off).

ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger
compartment to be heated more
quickly in cold weather conditions. The
additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
Automatic dual zone
climate control system
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater activates
automatically depending on the
environmental conditions and with
engine started.
Manual climate control
system
The additional heater activates
automatically when knob A is turned to
the end of the red section and the fan
is set to at least 1
stspeed.
IMPORTANT The heater only works if
the outside temperature and engine
coolant temperature are low. The heater
will not activate if the battery voltage is
too low.
IMPORTANT
2) The climate control system
detects the passenger
compartment temperature with a
mean radiant temperature sensor
fitted in a cover under the internal
rear view mirror. Obstructing the
field of view of this sensor with
any object could cause the
climate control system to operate
with less than optimal efficiency
.
EXTERNAL LIGHTS
IN BRIEF
The left stalk fig. 31 operates most of
the external lights. The external
lights can only be switched on when
the ignition key is at MAR-ON.
The instrument panel and the
dashboard and central tunnel
controls will light up together with the
external lights.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
“Daytime Running Lights”
With the ignition key at MAR-ON and
ring nut A fig. 31 turned to
, the
daytime running lights switch on. The
other lights and interior lighting stay off.

on the rear of the flap.On some versions the compartments
may be heated/cooled by an air vent
connected to the climate control
system (operate wheel A fig. 45 to
adjust the air flow rate in the lower
compartment).
In versions with dual-zone automatic
climate control system, the glove
compartment is set to the same
temperature as the passenger's side.FRONT ARMREST
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located between the front seats.
To bring it to its standard use position,
push it downwards.
The front armrest is equipped with an
inner storage compartment.

START&STOP
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the efficiency of the car is
increased, by reducing consumption,
emissions of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops
with gearbox in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding about
10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving
at walking pace.
The
fig. 81 symbol appears on the
display when the engine stops.Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.

Turning the Start&Stop
off
❒Versions with multifunction display:a
message is displayed when the
Start&Stop system is deactivated.
❒Versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display:the
symbol
is displayed + a message when
the Start&Stop system is
deactivated.
The LED on the button
switches on

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to
comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine does not stop
in some conditions, among which
10):
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in
progress (diesel engines only);
81A0K0163
82A0K0613
69

During standard use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be periodically
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according
to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a
limited increase in the engine idle
speed, fan activation, a limited increase
in fumes and high temperatures at the
exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
normal car performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, in chapter "Knowing the
instrument panel".
WARNING
62) The catalytic converter and
particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not park
the car on flammable materials
(e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine
needles, etc.): fire hazard.
