2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta climate control

❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control (for
versions/markets, where provided), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort
has not been reached or with
MAX-DEF function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.
ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, under special conditions, such
as:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on
roads with a gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop
system for over 3 minutes;❒for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control system (for
versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal
comfort has not been reached or
MAX-DEF function activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully
depressing the clutch pedal. The driver
is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and -
for versions/markets, where provided -
by the flashing of the symbol
.
Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3
minutes after the engine stops, the
engine can be restarted only using the
ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and
this is not desired, due for example to
the clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is activated, the engine can
be restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal or by placing the gear lever
in neutral.SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the
Start&Stop system, if the driver releases
his/her seat belt and opens the driver's
or passenger's door, the engine can
be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer
and by the flashing of the symbol
on
the display; on some versions, a
message is displayed as well.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting,
the driver does not carry out any
action on the car for over 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system stops the engine
once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the
engine can be restarted only using the
ignition key.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Start&Stop system is deactivated.

WARNING
106) Using the levers incorrectly
(levers pushed towards the
dashboard, see fig. 137) could
break them.
107) Never leave children
unattended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key when
leaving the car and take the key
with you.
108) The Launch control function is
only available in Dynamic mode.
Regardless of what is explicitly
indicated in the description of
these modes, the ESC and ASR
systems are deactivated during
operation of the Launch Control
function. This means that vehicle
dynamic control is the sole
responsibility of the driver.
Therefore pay the utmost
attention when using the Launch
Control. Take into account traffic
and road surface conditions and
during manoeuvres make sure
there is enough room in the area
concerned.
SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which can
help you to save fuel and lower harmful
emissions.
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Checks and adjustments should be
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” (see
chapter “Maintenance and care”).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the car and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These
accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a trailer
if possible.
Electrical devices
Use the electrical devices only for the
necessary amount of time. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
screen wipers and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake increases
fuel consumption (by up to +25% in
an urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use the air vents
when the temperature outside permits.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption.
