2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta fuel consumption

DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the car is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: in this way the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when stopped at
traffic lights or before switching off the
engine. The latter action, as well as
double-declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption
and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption. In the same way
improper use of a high gear increases
consumption, emissions and engine
wear.Maximum speed
Fuel consumption considerably
increases as speed increases. Maintain
a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration,
which cost in terms of both fuel
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running temperature.
This results in a significant increase
in consumption levels (from +15 to
+30% on the urban cycle) and
emissions.Traffic and road
conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in large towns with
many traffic lights. Winding mountain
roads and rough road surfaces also
adversely affect consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) switch off the engine.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Your car is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements of the
Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission
specifications. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation and duration.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120
km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-
urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect
the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption figures than those measured.

Fault Possible solution
... THE ENGINE DOES NOT START OR
STOPS WHEN DRIVING.Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank. See page 245.
... THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
FOLLOWING AN IMPACT.Check whether the fuel cut-off system has
intervened.See page 45.
... ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO
HIGH INDICATION.Check the engine coolant level.See page 209, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
... EXCESSIVE BRAKE PAD WEAR
INDICATION.Replace the worn brake pads.Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
... IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ENGAGE THE
GEARS.Have the gearbox/transmission checked.Contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
... LOSS OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE,
POOR DRIVEABILITY, HIGH EXHAUST
EMISSIONS AND CONSUMPTION.Have the EOBD/injection system checked.See page 74, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
