2018 Alfa Romeo Giulietta brake

If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to
keep the tank over 50% full.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a "non return", located in
the filler body itself.
To access the filler 1 fig. 68open the
access flap 2.Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter 3 over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
The fuel cap is unlocked when the central
locking system is released and
automatically clocked when the central
locking system is applied.Opening
Press flap 2 fig. 69 to release it and
access fuel tank cap 1. Then press cap
1 and turn it anticlockwise.

Please note that:
the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Jack maintenance:
prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
never modify the jack.
Conditions in which not to use the jack:
temperature below -40°C
on sandy or muddy ground
on uneven ground
on steep roads
in extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc.
in direct contact with the engine or to
carry out repairs under the vehicle
on boats.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1stgear or
reverse. Wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out of
the vehicle;
open the luggage compartment, lift
the mat using the tab provided;
using wrench 1 fig. 90 located in the
tool box, loosen the locking device, take
the tool box 2 and place it close to the
wheel to be replaced, then take the
space-saver wheel 3;
take the wrench 1 fig. 91 and loosen
the fixing bolts by about one turn. For
versions with alloy rims, shake the car to
facilitate detachment of the rim from the
wheel hub;
position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed. On versions
where this is fitted, be careful not to
damage the plastic aerodynamic guard;
operate the device 1 fig. 92 so as to
raise the jack, until the upper part is
correctly inserted in the side member at
the point indicated by the arrow
fig. 92. The lifting points 3 are shown
in fig. 93.
