2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia sensor

If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the front and rear area,
the display will show all of them,
regardless of the area in which they were
detected.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single or several flashing
arcs are shown on the display and the
acoustic signal becomes continuous.
It is not possible to exit from the display
screen while the vehicle is in REVERSE.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated by a message on the display on
the instrument cluster. Refer to "Warning
Lights And Messages" in "Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel" for further
information.
Messages On The Display
In case of system failure, a dedicated
message appears on the instrument
cluster for about five seconds.
Cleaning The Front Or Rear Sensors:
If the display shows a message requiring
the sensors to be cleaned, make sure that
the outer surface and the underside of
the front and rear bumpers are free of
debris (e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once
these areas are clear, cycle the ignition to
STOP. Then, return it to ON mode. If the
message is still displayed, contact you
authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available : If the
display shows a message that the audio
system is not available, it means that the
acoustic signal will be emitted by the
instrument panel, and not through the
vehicles speakers.
Note: Some conditions may influence
the performance of the Park Sensors
System:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be
due to the presence of ice, snow, mud, or
thick paint on the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle or in extreme
weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can
be altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems
of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the
vehicle.
System performance can be
influenced by the position of the
sensors. For example, due to a change in
the ride setting (caused by wear to the
shock absorbers or suspension), by
changing tires, overloading the vehicle or
operations that require the vehicle to be
lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers
or other adhesives over the sensors as
this will affect system performance.
Warning!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Parking Sensor system.
Always check carefully behind your vehicle,
and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are
responsible for the safety of your
surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
Caution!
The Parking Sensor system is only a
parking aid and it is unable to recognize
every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected
or not detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the Parking Sensor system in order to
be able to stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using the
Parking Sensor system.

STARTING AND OPERATING

The vehicle is equipped with an IBS
(Intelligent Battery Sensor), which is able
to measure the charge and discharge
voltage and calculate the charge level
and the general condition of the battery.
The sensor is placed next to the negative
terminal (-) of the battery.
For a correct charge/discharge
procedure, the charge voltage must go
through the IBS sensor.
1. Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on the user's manual to
completely recharge the battery.
2. When the battery is charged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery.
3. Disconnect the black cable terminal of
the battery charger and then the red
cable terminal.
4. Refit the protective cover of the
positive terminal of the battery and the
access cover to the battery
compartment.
Note:If a "quick-type" battery charger is
used with the battery fitted on the
vehicle, before connecting it disconnect
both cables of the battery itself. Do not
use a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.DEALER SERVICE
The following pages contain instructions
on the required maintenance from the
technical personnel who designed the
vehicle.
In addition to these specific maintenance
instructions specified for routine
scheduled servicing, there are other
components which may require periodic
maintenance or replacement over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
Engine Oil
Engine Oil Level Check
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the prescribed
level (see "Engine Compartment" in this
chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals, for
example every 1864 miles (3000 km).
It must be checked once full operating
temperature is reached.
The vehicle must also be parked on as
level a surface as possible.
The engine oil level can be checked using
the Information and Entertainment
system. To access the function, activate
the main menu (MENU button) and select
the following options in sequence:
“Applications”; “My Car”; “Oil level”.
Changing The Engine Oil
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals. Choice Of Engine Oil Type
To ensure optimal performance and
maximum protection in all operating
conditions, it is advisable to use solely
certified engine oils (see description in
"Fluid And Lubricants" in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter).
Additives For Engine Oil
It is strongly recommended not to use
additives (other than leak detection dyes)
with the engine oil.
The engine oil is a product designed
specially for the vehicle and its
performance may be deteriorated
through the use of further additives.
Disposal Of Used Engine Oil And Filters
For the disposal of the engine oil and
filters, contact the appropriate body to
determine local regulations.
Note:
Used engine oil disposed of
incorrectly may seriously harm the
environment.
Engine Oil Filter
Replacing The Engine Oil Filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced
each time the engine oil is changed. It is
advised to replace it with a genuine spare
part, specifically designed for this
vehicle.
