2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio light

Improper weight distributions can have
an adverse effect on the way your
vehicle steers and handles and the way
the brakes operate.
Caution!
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could cause you to
lose control. Also overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
Trailer Towing — If
Equipped
Trailer towing is not recommended for
this vehicle.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
DRIVING
Saving Fuel
Below are some suggestions which
may help you save fuel and lower the
amount of harmful emissions released
into the atmosphere.
Vehicle maintenance
Checks and operations should be
carried out in accordance with the
"Scheduled Servicing" (see chapter
"Servicing And Maintenance").
Tires
Check the tire 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 trunk.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Electric devices
Use electrical systems only for the
amount of time needed. The rear
window defroster, additional headlights,
windshield wipers and heater blower
fan require a considerable amount of
energy; increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up to
+25% when city driving).
174
STARTING AND OPERATING

Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use standard
ventilation when the temperature
outside permits.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption levels.
Driving Style
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to drive off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: by doing this the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine.
This action 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. Improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.Max. 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 trips and frequent cold starts will
not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% in city driving)
and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in traffic with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Winding mountain roads and
rough road surfaces also adversely
affect consumption.
Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway
crossings) switch off the engine.
Transporting
Passengers
Warning!
It is extremely dangerous to leave
children in a parked vehicle when the
temperature outside is very high. The heat
inside the passenger compartment may
have serious, or even fatal, consequences.
Never travel in the trunk of the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, anyone inside
the trunk would be at greater risk of serious
or even fatal injury.
Ensure that all the occupants of the
vehicle wear their seat belts correctly and
that any children are positioned correctly
on the dedicated child restraint systems.
Transporting Animals
The intervention of the airbags may be
dangerous for an animal on the front
seat. It is therefore advised to arrange
animals on the rear seat inside
dedicated cages restrained by the
vehicle’s seat belts.
Keep in mind that, in the event of a
sudden braking or an accident, an
inadequately restrained animal may be
projected within the passenger
compartment, risking injury to the
animal itself and the other occupants of
the vehicle.

BULB
REPLACEMENT
General InstructionsBefore replacing a bulb, check the
contacts for oxidation.
Replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power.
After replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment.
When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to “Fuses” in this
chapter. Note:
In some particular climate conditions,
such as low temperature, humidity, or
after washing the car, a thin
condensation layer may form on the
internal surfaces of the front and rear
headlights. This condensation will
disappear after switching on the
headlights.
Types Of Bulbs
The vehicle may be equipped with the following bulbs
