2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Owner's Manual

Tachometer
The Tachometer indicates the engine
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
Adjusting Instrument Panel Lighting
(Brightness Sensor)
Inside the Tachometer there is a light
sensor capable of detecting light and
adjusting the brightness of the
instrument panel and the Connect
system display.
Engine Oil Temperature
Gauge
The digital indicator monitors the
temperature of the engine oil and starts
supplying indications when the oil
temperature reaches approximately
122° F (50°C).Under normal usage, the temperature
should remain around the middle of the
digital scale according to the working
conditions.
The
warning light will turn on to
signal the excessive increase of the
engine oil temperature.
In the event of excessive engine oil
temperature, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized
dealer.
Fuel Level Gauge
The digital fuel gauge monitors the
amount of fuel in the tank.
When the
warning light turns on, a
message is displayed, and a chime is
sound when 2.38 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel
are left in the tank. Note:
If the low fuel warning light turns
on, refuel the vehicle at your nearest
fuel station.
Caution!
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could
damage the catalytic converter.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed in miles per hour and/or
kilometers per hour (mph/km/h).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Instrument Cluster Display Description
The vehicle is equipped with a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument cluster.
When one or more of the doors have been opened or closed and the ignition is in the OFF position, the instrument cluster will
display the vehicle mileage for a few seconds.
Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster Display
During operation, the instrument cluster display is divided into multiple sections which show driving data, warnings, and failure
indications.

2. Gear Selector Information
Displays the following information
controlled by the gear selector function:
P = PARK
R = REVERSE
N = NEUTRAL
D= DRIVE, (automatic forward
speed)

modes:
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Cruise Control (CC) or Active Cruise
Control (ACC) (if equipped).
4. Speed Limit Warning Light
Shows information regarding the Speed
Limiter function. 5.

6. Reconfigurable Main Area
Can display the following screens:
Home
Trip A
Trip B (can be activated/deactivated
through the Connect system)
Performance
The screens can be selected, on
rotation, by pushing the MENU
selection button on the windshield
wiper stalk.
Depending on the driving mode chosen
using the “Alfa DNA Pro” (Dynamic,
Normal, Advanced Efficiency and
RACE), the screens can be graphically
different. Navigation instructions and
call information can be repeated, besides on the Connect system display,
also in this area of the display, these
functions can be set on the Connect
system.

In RACE mode, the consumption
indication index is not active and a
sports gearshift indicator is displayed.
The sports gearshift indicator is
represented by three yellow segments,
if the third indicator, characterized by
the word "SHIFT,” is on, it means that
the gear should be shifted.Trip A And B
The "Trip computer" can be used to
display, for all driving modes (Dynamic,
Normal, Advanced Efficiency and
RACE) and with the ignition device ON,
the measurements regarding the
operating state of the vehicle. This
function is characterized by two
separate records, called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” (the latter can be deactivated
by Connect system), where the
“complete missions” (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally independent
manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Active trip
Fuel consumption indicator
To reset the values, press and hold
down the button on the windshield
wiper stalk.

Performance
The displayed parameters differ
according to the active mode. The
modes which can be selected using the
“Alfa DNA Pro” system are:
Normal,
The screen graphically reproduces
some parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a
view to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency, The three central icons on the screen
indicate the effectiveness of the driving
style, linked to the following
parameters: acceleration, deceleration
and gear shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.
The globe lights up gradually according
to lower consumption.
Dynamic,
The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES ON
THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light switches on
together with a dedicated message
and/or chime when applicable. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, 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.
The failure indicators appearing on
the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less
serious faults. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged
warning "cycle.” Less serious faults are
indicated by a warning "cycle" with a
shorter duration. You can stop the
warning cycle in both cases by
pressing the button located on the
windshield wiper lever. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.
