2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia display

Engagement/Disengagement
The following functions can be selected
in sequence using the Information and
Entertainment System:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Safety.”
3. “Forward Collision Warning.”
4. “Mode.”
Select from among three operating
modes:
Warning And Brake: the system
(if active), in addition to the visual and
audible warnings, provides limited
braking, automatic braking, and
additional assistance in braking stage
where the driver does not brake
sufficiently in the event of a potential
front end collision.
Only Warning : the system (if active),
does not provide limited braking, but
guarantees automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage
where the driver does not brake at all or
not sufficiently enough in the event of a
potential front end collision.
Disabled: the system does not provide
visual and audible warnings, limited
braking, automatic braking, or additional
assistance in braking stage. The system
will therefore provide no indication of a
possible collision. Activation/Deactivation
The
Forward Collision Warning system is
activated whenever the engine is started
regardless of what is shown on the
Information and Entertainment System.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
collision with the preceding vehicle,
regardless of the setting selected with
the Information and Entertainment
System.
Note: Each time the engine is started,
the system is activated regardless of
what setting was selected when the
engine was turned OFF.
The system is active:
Each time the engine is started.
In the Information and Entertainment
System.
When the ignition is in the ON position.
The vehicle speed is between 4 mph
(7 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
When the front seat belts are
fastened.
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Information and
Entertainment System menu, choosing
from one of the following three options:
"Near", "Med" or "Far". Refer to the
description in the Information and
Entertainment System Supplement for
how to change the settings. The default setting is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when that vehicle is at a greater distance,
thus providing the possibility of acting on
the brakes more lightly and gradually.
This setting provides the drivers with the
maximum possible reaction time to
prevent a potential collision.
With the option set to "Near", the system
will alert the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when that vehicle
is close. This setting offers the driver a
lower reaction time compared to the
"Med" and "Far" settings, in the event of a
potential collision, but permits more
dynamic driving of the vehicle.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in
the memory when the engine is turned
OFF.
System Limited Operation Signal
If a dedicated message is displayed, a
condition limiting the system operation
may have occurred. The possible reasons
of this limitation are if something is
blocking the camera view, or a fault is
present.
96
SAFETY

If an obstruction is signaled, clean the
area of the windshield.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in
normal conditions, the system may be not
completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation. Should the fault
persist, contact your authorized dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system turns off and a dedicated
message is shown on the display, it
means that there is a fault with the
system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display. This
generally occurs in the event of poor
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to obstructions
such as mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In
such cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system will
be deactivated. This message can
sometimes appear in conditions of high
reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflectivetiles or ice or snow). When the conditions
limiting the system functions end, it will
go back to normal and complete
operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message
could be displayed when the radar is not
detecting any vehicles or objects within
its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the
reason behind this message, check if the
sensor is dirty. It could be necessary to
clean or remove any obstructions in the
area.
If the message appears frequently, even
in the absence of atmospheric conditions
such as snow, rain, mud or other
obstructions, contact your authorized
dealer for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,
manually removing the decorative cover
trim and cleaning the radar surface could
be required. Have this operation
performed at your authorized dealer.
Note:
It is recommended that you do not
install devices, accessories, or
aerodynamic attachments in front of the
sensor or darken it in any way, as this can
compromise the correct functioning of
the system. Frontal Collision Alarm With Active
Braking
If this function is selected, the brakes are
operated to reduce the speed of the
vehicle in the event of potential collision.
This function applies an additional
braking pressure if the braking pressure
applied by the driver does not suffice to
prevent potential collision.
The function is active with speed above
4 mph (7 km/h).
Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system
intervention might be unexpected or
delayed. The driver must therefore be
very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle.
Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a
roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the
vehicle.
Note: In particularly complex traffic
conditions, the driver can deactivate the
system manually through the Information
and Entertainment System.
97

Warning!
The system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect possible
conditions leading to an accident in
advance. Failure to take into account this
warning may lead to serious or fatal injuries.
The system may activate, assessing the
trajectory of the vehicle, for the presence of
reflecting metal objects different from
other vehicles, such as safety barriers, road
signs, barriers before parking lots, tollgates,
level crossings, gates, railways, objects near
road constructions sites or higher than the
vehicle (e.g. a fly-over). In the same way, the
system may intervene inside multi-story
parking lots or tunnels, or due to a glare on
the road surface. These possible activations
are a consequence of the real driving
scenario coverage by the system and must
not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for road
use only. If the vehicle is driven on a track,
the system must be deactivated to avoid
unnecessary warnings. Automatic
deactivation is signaled by the dedicated
warning light/symbol switching on in the
instrument panel (refer to the instructions in
the "Warning Lights And Messages On The
Instrument Panel" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information).
General Information
The following regulatory statement
applies to all Radio Frequency (RF)
devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
sends the inflation pressure information
of each tire to the control unit, and will
signal the driver in the event of
insufficient tire pressure.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature
by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every
12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will also decrease. Tire pressure
should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not
been driven for at least three hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a
three hour period. The cold tire inflation
pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire
sidewall. Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing
And Maintenance” for information on
how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the
vehicle is driven. This is normal, and there
should be no adjustment for this
increased pressure.
The TPMS will signal the driver if pressure
falls below the warning limit for any
reason, including the effects of low
temperature and normal loss of pressure
from the tire.
The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient
tire pressure when pressure is equal to or
greater than the prescribed cold inflation
level. Therefore, if insufficient tire
pressure is indicated by the (
) warning
light displaying in the instrument cluster,
increase the inflation pressure up to the
prescribed cold inflation value.
Thesystem will automatically update, and
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will turn off once the system receives the
updated tire pressures. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
99

Operating Example
For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more than
three hours) placard pressure of 33 psi
(227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is
68°F (20°C), and the measured tire
pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a
temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will
decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire
pressure is low enough to turn on the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light.”
Driving the vehicle may cause the tire
pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi
(193 kPa), but the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will still be on.
In this situation, the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will turn off
only after the tires are inflated to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value.
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. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance or sensor damage. Customers are encouraged to use
OEM wheels to assure proper TPM feature
operation.
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
your authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
Insufficient Tire Pressure Indication
If an insufficient pressure value is
detected on one or more tires, the
warning light in the instrument cluster
will display alongside the dedicated
messages, the system will highlight the
tire or tires with insufficient pressure
graphically, and an acoustic signal will be
emitted.
In this case, stop the vehicle, check the
inflation pressure of each tire, and inflate
the necessary tire or tires to the correct
cold inflation pressure value, shown on
the display or in the dedicated TPMS
menu. TPMS Temporarily Disabled — TPMS
Check Message
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
flash on and off for 75 seconds, and then
remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. If the ignition is cycled,
this sequence will repeat, provided that
the system fault still exists. The “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
turn off when the fault condition no
longer exists. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the
same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Accumulation of snow or ice around
the wheels or wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
After the punctured tire has been
repaired with the original tire sealant
contained in the Tire Repair Kit, the
previous condition must be restored so
that the
warning light is off during
normal driving.
100
SAFETY

TPMS Deactivation
The
TPMS can be deactivated by replacing
all four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with wheel and tire assemblies that
do not have TPMS Sensors, such as when
installing winter wheel and tire assemblies
on your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will
chime, the "TPM Telltale Light" will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on. The instrument cluster will
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message and then display dashes (--) in
place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition switch
cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message in the instrument cluster.
Instead, dashes (--) will remain in place of
the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires equipped with TPM sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the "TPM Telltale Light"
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then turn off. The instrument cluster will
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message and then display pressure
values in place of the dashes. On the next ignition switch cycle the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer be
displayed, as long as no system fault
exists.
Note:
The TPMS is not intended to replace
normal tire care and maintenance, or to
provide warning of a tire failure or
condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a
tire pressure gauge while adjusting your
tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire will cause the tire to
overheat, and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an accurate
tire pressure gauge, even if
underinflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”.
Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.

Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the electric park brake and set
the gear selector to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a
few seconds, you need to repeat the
procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting” in “In Case Of Emergency”
for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds
before trying again.
Remote Starting System
