2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia stop start

Homelink
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and home
or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
Note: Without starting the engine,
activate the handbrake and place the
ignition in the ON position. The following operation will delete the
manufacture’s standard codes and does
not need to be repeated during the
subsequent button programming:
Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about ten seconds, the
lighted indicators will start to flash.
Release both buttons.
Note: Follow the steps below to begin
programming your remote control to one
of the HomeLink buttons:
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
button (1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink
indicator begins to flash slowly, move the portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
2. If the indicator does not begin to flash
quickly, change the distance between the
HomeLink and the portable remote
control and try the procedure again.
3. The HomeLink indicator flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons.
Using The Homelink System
The HomeLink system activates the
garage door or gate motor, just like the
portable remote control. The car must be
within the range of the garage door and
the ignition must be in the ON position.
Push the programmed button (1, 2 or 3).
While the signal is being transmitted, the
indicator is lit and the system (garage
door, gate, etc.) will respond.
If the HomeLink system does not
operate, the original portable remote
control may be equipped with an
alternative code (refer to “Alternative
Code Synchronization”).
If necessary, the original remote control
can still be used to operate the system.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Alternative Code Synchronization
To check whether the garage door or gate
motor has an alternative code, proceed
as follows:
1. Read the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual.
2. The portable remote control seems to
have programmed to the HomeLink
system, but the garage door or gate can
be neither opened or closed.
3. Push the programmed button and
keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). With an
alternative code system, the indicator
flashes briefly, and then remains off for
two seconds. This sequence is repeated
for 20 seconds.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
Note:
To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the car must be within
range of the garage door. Activate the
handbrake and turn the ignition to ON,
without starting the engine.
Proceed as follows:
1. Locate the “Learn” or “Train” button on
the garage door or gate motor. The color
and position may vary depending on the
manufacturer (consult the garage door or
gate manual). Push the “Learn” or “Train”
button (this normally activates the
setting warning light).
2. Push the desired HomeLink button
(1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink indicator
begins to flash slowly, move the portable
remote control one to three inches from
the HomeLink system (keeping the
programmable button pushed down).
3. Within 30 seconds, push the
programmed key (1, 2 or 3) and release it.
Push the programmed button a second
time and release it to conclude the
operation. For some motors, the
operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting. The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by
HomeLink and then open/close the door
or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another
original remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by canceling
the previously stored frequency.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the

Tachometer
The Tachometer indicates the engine
Revolutions Per Minute (Giri).
Adjusting Instrument Panel Lighting
(Brightness Sensor)
Inside the Tachometer there is a light
sensor capable of detecting light and
adjusting the brightness of the
instrument panel and the Information
and Entertainment System display.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
The digital indicator monitors the
temperature of the engine oil and starts
supplying indications when the oil
temperature reaches approximately
122° F (50°C).
Under normal usage, the temperature
should remain around the middle of the
digital scale according to the working
conditions.
The
warning light will turn on to signal
the excessive increase of the engine oil
temperature.
In the event of excessive engine oil
temperature, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized
dealer.
Fuel Level Gauge
The digital fuel gauge monitors the
amount of fuel in the tank.
When the
warning light turns on, a
message is displayed, and a chime is
sound when 2.38 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel
are left in the tank.
Note: If the low fuel warning light turns
on, refuel the vehicle at your nearest fuel
station.
Caution!
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could damage
the catalytic converter.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed in miles per hour and/or kilometers
per hour (mph/km/h).

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or turns
on while driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light will
illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the Air Bag
Warning Light has been detected, it will stay on until the
fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving, have an authorized dealer service
the vehicle immediately.If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position, if
the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound and
the light will turn on. When driving, if the driver or front
passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously and a
chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Safety” for further information.
Always wear your seat belt when operating the vehicle.
OIL TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This telltale indicates engine oil temperature is high.Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the turning 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 turn 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.

Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended
that you take your vehicle to an authorized
dealership to have your sensor function
checked.

Caution!
If the LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE symbol switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact an authorized dealer.
SymbolWhat It Means What To Do
ENGINE TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This telltale warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the engine coolant temperature is too high, this
indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. If
the temperature reaches the upper limit, a continuous
chime will be sound for 4 minutes or until the engine is
allowed to cool whichever comes first.In normal driving conditions
: stop the vehicle, turn off the
engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is
not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine
to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top
up with coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an authorized dealer
if the telltale comes on when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in
high-performance driving): slow down and, if the telltale
stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes
with the engine running and slightly accelerated to
facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine
off. Check that the coolant level is correct as described
above.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
If the telltale remains on, you could not have steering
assistance and the effort required to operate the steering
wheel could be increased; steering is, however, possible. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
