2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio brake light

By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in increments of
five mph until the button is released.
Then, the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you
to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"metric") set on the Connect system
(see dedicated supplement).
When the unit of measurement is
set to metric, holding the SET switch
the speed will change in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In
this case, use the SET switch to set
the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
When you push the SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the vehicle down
sufficiently to reach the set speed. The
device holds the set speed uphill and
downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight
inclines.
The transmission could change to a
lower gear when driving downhill, or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving
if the brakes overheat.
Accelerating When
Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing
the vehicle. This additional acceleration
is triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal and will only be active
when passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is deactivated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator and returns to
the original lane.
Resuming The Speed
Once the system has been canceled
but not deactivated, to resume a
previously set speed, simply push the
RES button and remove your foot from
the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed. Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then push the RES button and
release it.
Warning!
The Resume function should only be used
if traffic and road conditions permit.
Resuming a set speed that is too high or
too low for prevailing traffic and road
conditions could cause the vehicle to
accelerate or decelerate too sharply for
safe operation. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.

the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
11 inches (30 cm), and stops if the
distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
Note: If several obstacles are detected
by the sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of
warning they would like to be displayed
through the Connect system. To access
the function on the main menu, select in
the following order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Driver Assistance”
3. “ParkSense”
4. “Mode”
5. “Sound-Display”
Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
the detected area, in relation to the
distance of the object and the position
of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the rear
central area, a single arc will be
displayed as the obstacle approaches,
first constant, then flashing, in addition
to an acoustic signal. If the obstacle is detected in the rear left
and/or right area, a single flashing arc
will be shown in the corresponding area
on the display and the system will emit
an acoustic signal, either at frequent
intervals or constantly.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single flashing arc is
shown on the display and the acoustic
signal becomes continuous.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the rear area, the
display will show all of them, regardless
of the area in which they were detected.
The color on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.
It is possible to exit from the display
screen by pressing the Rotary Pad,
however, the acoustic alert will remain
active.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated when REVERSE is engaged
by a message on the instrument cluster
display. Refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further
information.
Messages On The Display
In case of system failure, a dedicated
message appears on the instrument
cluster for about 5 seconds.
Cleaning The Front Sensors
:Ifthe
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that
the outer surface and the underside
of the rear bumper is free of debris
(e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these
areas are clear, place the ignition in
STOP mode. Then, return it to ON
mode. If the message is still displayed,
contact an authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available :Ifthe
display shows a message that the
audio system is not available, it means
that the acoustic signal will be emitted
by the instrument panel, and not
through the vehicles speakers.
Note: Some conditions may influence
the performance of the ParkSense
system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could
be due to the presence of ice, snow,
mud, or thick paint on the surface of
the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle or in
extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can
be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.

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).

STARTING AND OPERATING

5. Start the compressor by placing the
power switch in the on position (I).
6. Inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire placard, located on
the driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge
of the driver’s side door. Refer to “Tires”
in “Servicing And Maintenance” for
more information. In order to obtain a
more precise reading, check the
pressure value on pressure gauge with
the compressor off.7. If the pressure is not at least
26.1 psi (1.8 bar) after 15 minutes,
disengage the compressor from the
valve and power outlet. Then, move the
vehicle forwards approximately five tire
turns in order to distribute the sealing
fluid inside the tire evenly, and then
repeat the inflation operation.
8. If you still cannot obtain a pressure
of at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) within
15 minutes from the compressor
switching on, do not drive the vehicle,
and contact an authorized dealer.
9. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric
parking brake, and recheck the tire
pressure.
10. If the pressure is less than 26 psi
(1.8 bar),
Do Notdrive the vehicle, and
see an authorized dealer.
11. If a pressure value of at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake engaged), and
drive immediately with great care to an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Tire Repair Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Repair Kit. Do
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until the tire
is repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passengers,
and others around you. Have the tire
checked as soon as possible at an
authorized dealer.
12. Apply the adhesive label from the
sealant bottle where it can be easily
seen by the driver as a reminder that
the tire has been treated with a Tire
Repair Kit, as well as not to exceed the
speed restriction for the treated tire.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
