2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia turn signal

5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Do not tamper with the props and
assist the hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation, that the
vehicle is stationary and that the electric
park brake is engaged.
Closing
As the hood is extremely light, to close
the hood, lower it to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine
compartment then apply a slight
pressure downward and drop the hood.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to push the
hood down but open it and repeat the
procedure
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is traveling.
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, you
must check that it is closed on both its
side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
TRUNK
The trunk unlocking is electrically
operated and is deactivated when the
vehicle is in motion.
Opening
Opening From The Outside
When unlocked, the trunk lid can be
opened from outside the vehicle using
the exterior trunk lid release button
located between the plate lights. Push
the button until you hear a “click.” The
trunk lid can also be opened by quickly
pushing the exterior trunk lid release
button on the key fob twice.
The turn signal indicators will blink and the
interior lights will turn on when the trunk
lid is opened. They turn off automatically
when the trunk lid is closed.
The lights turn off automatically after a
few minutes if the trunk lid is left open.

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
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: Activate the handbrake and place
the ignition to ON without starting the
engine.

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

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.
