2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia technical specifications

Note:
To prevent the fluid from being
ingested by children or animals, do not
keep it in open containers or pour it on
the ground. If ingested, contact a doctor
immediately. Eliminate any traces of
fluid from the ground immediately.
When the vehicle stops after a short
trip, steam may be seen coming out from
front of the hood. This is a normal
phenomenon which is due to the
presence of rain, snow or a lot of
moisture on the surface of the radiator.
With engine and system cold, do not
top up with coolant beyond the
maximum level indicated on the
reservoir in the engine compartment.
Braking System
In order to guarantee the efficiency of
the braking system, periodically check its
components; for this operation, contact
an authorized dealer.
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals.
Note: Driving with your foot resting on
the brake pedal may compromise its
efficiency, increasing the risk of
accidents. When driving, never keep your
foot on the brake pedal and don’t put
unnecessary strain on it to prevent the brakes from overheating: excess pad
wear may cause damage to the braking
system.
When an insufficient oil level is
detected, contact an authorized dealer
to have the system checked.
Always keep the cap of the brake
fluid reservoir (in the engine
compartment) completely closed.
Warning!
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants”
in “Technical Specifications” for further
information. Using the wrong type of brake
fluid can severely damage your brake
system and/or impair its performance. The
proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle is
also identified on the original factory
installed hydraulic master cylinder
reservoir.
To avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid
or fluid that has been in a tightly closed
container. Keep the master cylinder
reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake
fluid in a open container absorbs moisture
from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil unexpectedly
during hard or prolonged braking, resulting
in sudden brake failure. This could result in a
collision.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can
result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine
parts, causing the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage painted and
vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to avoid
its contact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
Automatic Transmission
Use only a transmission oil with the same
characteristics as those indicated in the
"Fluids and Lubricants" table (see
"Technical Specifications" chapter).
Special Additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The
automatic transmission oil is a product
designed specially for this vehicle and its
performance may be compromised
through the use of further additives.
Caution!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your transmission components. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

IDENTIFICATION DATA
Vehicle Identification Number
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
is stamped on a plate on the front left
corner of the dashboard cover, which can
be seen from outside the vehicle, through
the windshield.This number is also printed on the chassis
at the front left shock absorber and
can be seen by opening the engine
compartment hood.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Plate
The plates are located on the left side A
pillar and contain the data about:
Chassis number (VIN).
Vehicle type (USA and Canada only).
Color code.
Place of manufacturing of the vehicle
(USA and Mexico only).
Vehicle manufacturing date.

Caution!
Water, ice and salt spread on the roads may deposit on the brake discs, reducing braking efficiency the first time the brakes are applied.
To obtain the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 300 miles (500 km) is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.

Materials Added To Fuel
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that
contain detergents, corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasolines that have these additives
will help improve fuel economy, reduce
emissions, and maintain vehicle
performance.Designated TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline
contains a higher level
of detergents to
further aide in
minimizing engine and
fuel system deposits.
When available, the usage of TOP TIER
Detergent gasoline is recommended.
Visit www.toptiergas.com for a list of
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Retailers.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system
cleaning agents should be avoided. Many
of these materials intended for gum and
varnish removal may contain active
solvents or similar ingredients. These can
harm fuel system gasket and diaphragm
materials.
Fuel System Cautions
Caution!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:
The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited
by Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can
impair engine performance and damage the
emissions control system.
An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or
ignition malfunctions can cause the
catalytic converter to overheat. If you
notice a pungent burning odor or some light
smoke, your engine may be out of tune or
malfunctioning and may require immediate
service. Contact an authorized dealer for
service assistance.
The use of fuel additives, which are now
being sold as octane enhancers, is not
recommended. Most of these products
contain high concentrations of methanol.
Fuel system damage or vehicle
performance problems resulting from the
use of such fuels or additives is not the
responsibility of the manufacturer and may
void or not be covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Note: Intentional tampering with the
emissions control system can result in
civil penalties being assessed against
you.
