2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia wheel

The high beam headlights are turned off
by pushing the left stalk toward the
instrument panel again. The warning
light/icon
will switch off in the
instrument panel when the headlights
are successfully turned off.
Flashing The Headlights
Pulling the left stalk toward the steering
wheel will activate the high beam
headlights manually. The lights will
remain on as long as the stalk is pulled
back; once the stalk is released, the
lights will switch off again.
Automatic High Beam Headlights —
If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high
beam control through the use of a
digital camera mounted on the
windshield. This camera detects vehicle
specific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
This function is enabled with the
Connect system, and can only be
activated with the light switch turned to
(AUTO).
If the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/warning light
will illuminate
in the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 37 mph
(60 km/h) and the function is active, the
lights will switch off if the left stalk is
pushed again. When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function switches the high beam
headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are
operated quickly again (pushing the left
stalk towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will switch on in
the instrument panel and the main
beam headlights will be switched on
constantly until the speed exceeds
37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic
functioning is reactivated.
If the left stalk is pushed again with the
Automatic High Beam Headlights
activated, the Automatic High Beam
Headlights function deactivates.
To deactivate the automatic headlight
function, rotate the headlight switch to
the
position.
Note: If the system recognizes inner
city travel, the automatic functions
remain disabled independently of the
vehicle’s speed.
Turn Signals
To activate the turn signals function,
move the left lever up or down until it
reaches the detent. Moving the lever
upward flashes the right turn signal and
moving the lever downward will flash
the left turn signal. The
orturn signal will blink on the
instrument panel.
The turn signals turn off automatically
when the vehicle is brought back onto a
straight course.
“Lane Change” Function
Tap the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash five times.
Then, the turn signal (right or left) will
automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of
the cycle, move the lever in the
opposite direction until the first click
(about half way).
Static Bending Light
Function (SBL) — If
Equipped
The SBL function utilizes Light Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) in order to better
illuminate the street and increase the
light angle while turning. This function is
enabled by rotating the light switch to

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related
to the Brake Booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized
dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the BRAKE (red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is
not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly
lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
Caution!The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended that you
take your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have
your sensor function checked.
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as
handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,
avoiding sharp braking and steering. Immediately
restore the correct inflation pressure using the Tire
Repair Kit (refer to “Tire Repair Kit” in “In Case Of
Emergency”) and contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
Tire Pressure Low
The warning light switches on to indicate that the tire
pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases,
optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed. In any situation in which the message on the display is
"See Manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer to “Driving
Assistance Systems” in “Safety,” strictly complying with
the indications that you find there.

Caution!
If the LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE symbol switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact an authorized dealer.
SymbolWhat It Means What To Do
ENGINE TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This light warns of an overheated engine condition. If
the engine coolant temperature is too high, this
indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. If
the temperature reaches the upper limit, a continuous
chime will be sound for 4 minutes or until the engine is
allowed to cool whichever comes first.In normal driving conditions
: stop the car, switch off the
engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the
engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself.
Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an
authorized dealer if the symbol comes on when the
engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
in high-performance driving): slow down and, if the
warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or
three minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then
turn the engine off. Check that the coolant level is
correct as described above.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
If the symbol remains on, you could not have steering
assistance and the effort required to operate the
steering wheel could be increased; steering is, however,
possible. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
