2017 Alfa Romeo Giulietta engine

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving
assistance device that allows the desired
vehicle speed to be maintained, without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways). It is therefore not
recommended to use this device on
extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use
it in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON.
The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 5
thgear or higher.When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the car may slightly exceed the
stored speed.
Activation is indicated by the warning
light
.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Proceed as follows:
turn ring 1 fig. 67 to ON and press the
accelerator to reach the required speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
1 second, then release it: the car speed is
now stored and you can therefore release
the accelerator.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing the
accelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the
stored speed can be reset as follows:
accelerate gradually until a speed
approaching the one stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
of speed storing;
press the RES button (2 fig. 67).
INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be
increased by pressing button SET +.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be reduced
by pressing the button SET -.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The device can be switched off in the
following ways:
by turning the ring 1 fig. 67 to the OFF
position;
by switching off the engine;
by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch
or the accelerator; in this last case the
system is not effectively deactivated but
the system gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still
remains active, without the need to press
the RES button to return to the previous
conditions once acceleration is
concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
if the ABS or ESC systems intervene;
with the vehicle speed below the set
limit;
in the event of system failure.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electric system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional door
mirrors as specified by the Highway
Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer reduces the load
capacity of the car by the same amount.
Consider the weight at full load, including
accessories and luggage, to make sure
you do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown in the registration
document).
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case do not exceed 100 km/h.
INSTALLING A TOW HOOK
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
install a tow hook.
105) 106)
WARNING
105)The ABS with which the car is equipped
will not control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is therefore
required on slippery roads.
106)Do not, under any circumstances,
modify the vehicle's braking system to
control the trailer breaking system. The
towing braking system must be completely
independent of the vehicle's hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE CAR
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.
compliant with the European
specification EN228. The petrol octane
rating (RON) must not be lower than 95.
In order to prevent damage to the
catalytic converter never introduce even
the smallest amount of leaded petrol,
even in the event of an emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use diesel fuel compliant with
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused.
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent defective
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of Diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
92
STARTING AND DRIVING

TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with
the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank
before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to
keep the tank over 50% full.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a "non return", located in
the filler body itself.
To access the filler 1 fig. 68 open the
access flap 2.
Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter 3 over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
The fuel cap is unlocked when the central
locking system is released and
automatically clocked when the central
locking system is applied.
Opening
Press flap 2 fig. 69 to release it and
access fuel tank cap 1. Then press cap
1 and rotate it anticlockwise.
107)
The cap is provided with a retention
device 4 which attaches it to the flap and
prevents it from being lost. Attach the
cap to device 3 during refuelling.
How to open the flap in an emergency
In case of emergency, pull the cord
fig. 70 on the right-hand side of the
luggage compartment to open the fuel

CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
117) 118) 119) 120) 121) 122)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Jack maintenance:
prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
never modify the jack.
Conditions in which not to use the jack:
temperature below -40°C
on sandy or muddy ground
on uneven ground
on steep roads
in extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc.
in direct contact with the engine or to
carry out repairs under the vehicle
on boats.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely.The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1stgear or
reverse. Wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out of
the vehicle;
open the luggage compartment, lift
the mat using the tab provided;
using wrench 1 fig. 90 located in the
tool box, loosen the locking device, take
the tool box 2 and place it close to the
wheel to be replaced, then take the
space-saver wheel 3;
take the wrench 1 fig. 91 and loosen
the fixing bolts by about one turn. For
versions with alloy rims, shake the car to
facilitate detachment of the rim from the
wheel hub;
position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed. On versions
where this is fitted, be careful not to
damage the plastic aerodynamic guard;
operate the device 1 fig. 92 so as to
raise the jack, until the upper part is
correctly inserted in the side member at
the point indicated by the arrow
fig. 92. The lifting points 3 are shown
in fig. 93.

IN AN EMERGENCY

119)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used
as a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Using two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
120)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other
vehicle models. Never use it for repair
operations under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label. Never install
snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if a
front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
121)Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may
cause it to fall off when the car is in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Regularly check the inflation pressure
of the tyres and space-saver wheel (see
chapter "Technical specifications").122)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a tyre
gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle
with which it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Any other use, e.g. to jack
up other vehicle models or different things,
is strictly prohibited. Never use for
maintenance or repair activities under the
car or to exchange the summer/winter
wheels and vice versa. Never go under the
raised vehicle. Should it be necessary to
work under the vehicle, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Incorrect positioning of
the jack may cause the raised vehicle to fall:
use only in the positions indicated. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
IMPORTANT
35)When turning the jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your
hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touching
them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible to have the correct
tightening of the wheel bolts checked.
