2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio jump start

Checking And Restoring
Tire Pressure
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tire
pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Release the quick connector and
connect it directly to the valve of the tire
to be inflated.
2. Push the air release button.
Sealant Cartridge
Replacement
Note:Only use original cartridges,
which can be purchased at an
authorized dealer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the sealant cartridge by
pushing the release button located on
the side of the compressor.
2. Insert the new sealant cartridge by
pushing downward firmly.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery,
it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another
vehicle, or by using a portable battery
booster pack. Jump-starting can be
dangerous if done improperly, so please
follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
Note: When using a portable battery
booster pack, follow the manufacturer's
operating instructions and precautions.
Warning!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
Caution!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Remote Battery
Connection Posts
The negative terminal (-) is positioned
next to the passenger side hood lock.
Warning!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in
serious injury. Only use the specific ground
point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
The positive post (+) can be accessed
by lifting the protective flap.To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect to
the battery of another vehicle or a
portable battery booster pack to the
remote posts of the discharged battery.
Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different
sheath colors (red = positive, black =
negative).
Jump Starting
Warning!
Failure to follow this jump-starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
Caution!
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged
vehicle.

Preparation For Jump Starting:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake, and
turn the ignition to the STOP position.
2. Switch off all electrical features in the
vehicle.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start
the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, set the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is
OFF.
Warning!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other
as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could
result.
Cable Connection
Proceed as follows to perform a jump
starting procedure:
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
(+) post of the booster battery.3. Connect the negative end (-) of the
jumper cable to the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative (-) jumper cable to a good
engine ground of the vehicle with the
discharged battery (exposed metal part
of the engine) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system.
Warning!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in
serious injury. Only use the specific ground
point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the
discharged battery. If using a portable
battery booster pack, before starting
the vehicle, wait a few seconds after
completing the connection.
Cable Disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence,
as described below:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper
cable from the engine (-) ground of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of
the jumper cable from the positive (+)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If frequent jump-starting is required to
start your vehicle, you should have the
battery and charging system inspected
at your authorized dealer.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
196
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Bump Starting
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.
Note:
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission by pushing it.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
REFUELING IN
EMERGENCY
Refueling in an emergency is described
in "Refueling The Vehicle" in "Starting
And Operating".
ENGINE
OVERHEATING
Engine overheating may occur in
situations of extreme environmental
temperatures, frequent engine
stops/starts, or driving in heavy traffic.
If the engine becomes overheated, the
Engine Temperature Warning Light in
the instrument cluster will illuminate
along with a dedicated message. Refer
to "Warning Lights And Messages" in
the "Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel" for more information.
In any of the following situations, you
can reduce the potential for overheating
by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place
the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do
not increase engine idle speed.
Note:
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on,
turn it off. The A/C system adds heat
to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove
this heat.
