2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Warning lights

The activation of the Dynamic mode is
also shown by the change in the
instrument panel lighting that, after
decreasing, reaches the highest
luminosity and then returns to the
previously set values.
Disengagement
To deactivate “Dynamic” mode and
return to “Natural”, repeat the same
movement of the lever within the same
times. In this case, the LED
corresponding to “Natural” mode will
light up and the words “Natural on” will
appear on the display (see fig. 79).ENGAGEMENT/
DISENGAGEMENT OF “All
Weather” MODE
Engagement
Move lever A fig. 75 downwards (to the
letter “a”) and hold in this position for
0.5 seconds until the corresponding
LED lights up or the word “All Weather”
appears on the display (see fig. 80).
ESC and ASR systems:intervention
thresholds aimed at guaranteeing
the maximum safety in low grip driving
conditions. It is recommended to
activate the "All Weather" mode when
fitting snow chains.
"ELECTRONIC Q2" system:the
system is deactivated.
Steering wheel tuning:maximum
comfort.DST:higher braking control
coordinated with ABS/ESC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration.
Oversteering compensation depending
on the ESC/ASR intervention
thresholds: a slight movement on the
steering wheel encourages the driver to
carry out the most appropriate
manoeuvre.
Engine:standard response.
Disengagement
To deactivate “All Weather” mode and
return to “Natural”, carry out the same
procedure described for “Dynamic”
mode, but move lever A fig. 75 to “a”.
IMPORTANT
❒It is not possible to switch directly
from “Dynamic” mode to “All
Weather” mode and vice versa. You
must always first go back to “Natural”
mode and then select the other
mode.
❒The driving mode engaged before the
engine stops is maintained when it is
next started.
❒In the event of system failure or a
fault with lever A, no driving modes
can be selected. The display will
show a warning message.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

EOBD SYSTEM
(European On
Board Diagnosis)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Operation
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on
the display, when these components
are no longer in peak condition (see
“Warning lights and messages”
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace
damaged components.The car also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools,
that makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control
units together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic control
authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to
check the system completely, the Alfa
Romeo Dealership is obliged to run
tests and, if necessary, road tests
which may also require a long journey.
DUAL PINION
ACTIVE STEERING
Operation
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR-ON and the engine started.
The steering allows the force required
at the steering wheel to be adjusted
to suit driving conditions. The different
power assistance modes can be
selected via the d, n, a positions of the
“Alfa DNA System” lever (see paragraph
entitled “Alfa DNA System”).
56)
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The warning light switches on
to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the
other or drive in a straight line for about
a hundred metres.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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.

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

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT 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 IN INSTRUMENT PANEL
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the level of the brake fluid in
the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to leaks in the circuit.
The display shows the dedicated message.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Handbrake applied
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the handbrake is engaged. If
the car is moving an acoustic signal is also
emitted.Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display)
stays on, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
