2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia keyless

If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Emergency Starting” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more
than 25 seconds at a time. Wait
60 seconds before trying again.
After Starting —
Warming Up The Engine
Proceed as follows:Travel slowly, letting the engine run at
a reduced RPM, without accelerating
suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the
digital engine coolant temperature
indicator starts to rise for maximum
performance.
Stopping The Engine
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic.
2. Engage the PARK (P) mode. 3. With engine idling, press the
START/STOP button on the steering
wheel to STOP the engine.
Note:
Do not leave the ignition in ON
mode when the engine is off.
To shut off the engine with vehicle
speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), you
must push and hold the ignition or push
the START/STOP button three times
consecutively within a few seconds.
The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ON mode
With the keyless ignition system, it is
possible to go away from the vehicle
taking the key fob with you, without the
engine switching off. The vehicle will
inform about the absence of the key on
board, only if the doors are closed.
Stopping the engine (cycling from the
ON to the STOP position) the
accessories are still powered for about
three minutes, or until a door is opened.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF
mode, the window switches remain
active for three minutes. Opening a
front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to
allow the temperature inside the engine
compartment to cool before shutting off
the engine.
Turbocharger Cool
Down
Before switching the engine off, keep it
idling for a few minutes so that the
turbocharger can be suitably lubricated.
This procedure is particularly
recommended after severe driving.
After a full load operation, keep the
engine idling for three to five minutes
before switching it off.
This time allows the lubricating oil and
the engine coolant to eliminate the
excessive heat from combustion
chamber, bearings, inner components
and turbocharger.

Brake/Transmission
Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock system
(BTSI) that holds the gear selector in
PARK (P) unless the brakes are applied.
This system prevents you from moving
the gear selector from position PARK
(P) unless the brakes are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK
(P), the ignition must be cycled to the
AVV mode (engine running or not) and
the brake pedal must be pressed.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing
the vehicle, conveyor vehicle washing
systems) inhibit the automatic activation
of PARK (P) mode when stopping the
engine, or proceed as described below:
1. Car at a standstill.
2. NEUTRAL (N) mode activated.
3. Push the ignition button for at least
three seconds.
The automatic park brake engagement
function when the engine is stopped
can also be deactivated on the Connect
system by selecting the following
functions on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic
Parking Brake".
Important Notes
Failure to comply with what is reported
below may damage the transmission:
Shift into PARK (P) mode only with
the vehicle at a standstill.
Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass
from REVERSE to another mode only
with the vehicle at a standstill and
engine idling.
Do not change between PARK (P),
REVERSE (R), NEUTRAL (N) or DRIVE
(D) modes with engine running at a
speed above idling.
Before activating any transmission
operating mode, fully depress the brake
pedal.
Note: The unexpected movement of
the vehicle can injure the occupants or
people nearby. Do not leave the vehicle
with engine running: before getting out
of the passenger compartment always
engage the electric park brake, select
the PARK (P) mode, stop the engine.
With the ignition device in the STOP
position, the transmission is locked in
the PARK (P) position in order to
prevent accidental vehicle movement. If
equipped with keyless ignition, do not
leave the key fob near the vehicle (or in
a place accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition on. A child could activate the electric
windows, other controls, or even start
the engine; it is dangerous to select a
mode other than PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N) at an engine speed higher than
idling.
If the brake pedal is not fully depressed,
the vehicle could rapidly accelerate.
Only engage the gear with engine at
idling while fully depressing the brake
pedal. If the transmission temperature
exceeds the normal operating limits, the
transmission control unit may change
the gear engagement order and reduce
the drive torque. If the transmission
overheats, the display shows the
symbol. In this case, the
transmission could operate incorrectly
until it cools down.
When using the vehicle with extremely
low external temperatures, the
transmission operation may change
depending on the engine and
transmission temperature, as well as
vehicle speed. Activation of the torque
converter clutch and of the eighth or
ninth gear is inhibited until the
transmission oil is correctly warmed up.
Complete operation of the transmission
will be enabled as soon as the fluid
temperature reaches the predefined
value.
