2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio fault

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
Accessories Purchased By The Owner
Warning!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants
could even be fatally injured.
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system,
etc.) or accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact your authorized dealer.
Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Note:
Take care when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of
the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the
pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices
Electrical and electronic devices installed after the car is purchased must carry the following label:
FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in
compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
Note:
Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed.
This also may void the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

The activation of the alarm is preceded
by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is
detected, the system emits a further
acoustic signal.
If a second acoustic signal is emitted
after the alarm is already armed, wait
about four seconds and disarm the
alarm by pushing the unlock button.
Verify that the doors, hood, and trunk
lid are closed correctly and then rearm
the system by pushing the lock button
on the key fob.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal
even when the doors, hood, and trunk
lid are correctly closed, a fault has
occurred in system operation. In this
case, contact an authorized dealer.
To Disarm The Alarm
Push the unlock button to disarm the
alarm. While disarming, the following
operations are performed:
Two brief flashes of the turn signals
(if programmed)
Two brief acoustic signals
(if programmed)
Doors are unlocked
The alarm can also be disarmed using
the Passive Entry System, by grasping
one of the Passive Entry front door
handles with a valid key fob in hand to
unlock. For further information refer to
"Passive Entry" in "Doors.” Note:
The alarm does not disarm when the
doors are unlocked by inserting the
blade of the emergency key, found
inside the key fob, into the door handle
lock cylinder.
Volumetric/Anti-Lift
Protection — If Equipped
To ensure the correct operation of the
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection system,
completely close the side windows.
To disable the function, push the
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection button
before activating the alarm.
When the function is disabled, this is
indicated by the light on the
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection button
flashing for several seconds.
Any disabling of the Volumetric/Anti-Lift
Protection must be repeated each time
the instrument panel is switched off.
To Disarm The Alarm
Using Passive Entry
To completely deactivate the alarm
(e.g. during a long period of vehicle
inactivity), insert the blade of the
emergency key, found inside the key
fob, into the door handle lock cylinder
and turn the emergency key to the right
(clockwise) to lock the door(s).

ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The following systems are used for
reducing engine emissions:
Catalytic Converter
Oxygen Sensors
Evaporation Control System
ACTIVE
AERODYNAMICS
Front Mobile Spoiler
(Alfa Active Aero)
This is an automatic device, working at
the vehicle speed, which allows higher
reactivity at average speeds and higher
vehicle stability at high speeds,
regulating the air flow into the lower part
of the vehicle.
Note:
The system is not active in
temperatures near or below zero, or
when the “Alfa DNA Pro” selector is in
the "Normal" or "Advanced Efficiency"
positions.If there is a fault, a generic failure icon
will light up on the instrument panel
display, along with a message that will
identify the type of malfunction. See
your authorized dealer if a fault occurs.

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.

Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the switching on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an
accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.
Caution!
