PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS
…important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be paid to
the symbols(personal safety)(environmental protection)(car integrity).

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter
at the side of each even page.

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could
cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore, allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be followed carefully.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That
number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.
IMPORTANT
This Owner Handbook describes all Alfa Giulietta versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are
not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim
level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the
explicit request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (for versions/markets, where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at
a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described
for technical and/or commercial reasons.
For further information, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

7 - passenger's side temperature adjustment knob;
8 - MONO function button (set temperature alignment) driver/passenger side;
9 - air distribution selection buttons;
10 - fan speed knob;
11 - climate control system on/off button;
12 - internal air recirculation on/off button;
Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly, giving
a prompt sensation of warmth
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on.
You can also set a combination of the air distribution settings described above. In combined function mode the relevant function is
enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop
The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when car speed is 0 km/h) to ensure
adequate comfort inside the car. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and car at a standstill), the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor
is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf (indicated on a
specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for the driver's comfort and
safety as well as for all other road users.
This is also covered by a specific rule of
the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility
conditions for all drivers. Contact a Alfa
Romeo Dealership to have the headlights
checked and adjusted, if necessary.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Alfa Romeo Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted, if
necessary.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are aligned
to comply with the regulations of the
country of purchase. When driving in
countries with a different traffic
direction, to avoid blinding the drivers
travelling in the opposite direction, it is
necessary to cover the areas of the beam
according to the provisions of the
Highway Code of the country you are
driving in.
Alfa DNASYSTEM (Car dynamic
control system)
This device allows, using lever 1
fig. 33 (on the central tunnel), three car
response modes to be selected according
to driving style and road conditions:
d=Dynamic(sports driving mode);
n=Natural(mode for driving in normal
conditions);
a=All Weather(mode for driving in
poor grip conditions, such as rain and
snow).
The lever 1 is of the monostable type. In
other words, it always remains in a
central position.
The selected driving mode is indicated by
the corresponding LED switching on in
the panel and by an indication on the
reconfigurable multifunction display.When “Natural” mode is selected, no
messages or symbols are shown on the
display.
The device acts on the dynamic car
control systems (engine, steering, ESC,
ASR, ELECTRONIC Q2 systems, etc.).
TURNING “Dynamic” MODE ON/OFF
9)
IMPORTANT For versions/markets,
where provided, switching to "Dynamic"
mode is automatically disabled in the
first kilometres in order to guarantee
correct settling of the mechanical
components. If an attempt to activate
the system is made before this limit, the
display will show a dedicated message to
remind the driver that this request
cannot be fulfilled.
Activation
Move lever 1 fig. 33 downwards (to the
letter “d”) and hold in this position for
0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED
lights up or the word “Dynamic” appears
on the display.
When lever 1 fig. 33 is moved to the “d”
position, the activation of “Dynamic”
mode is confirmed by a temporary
variation in the brightness (flashing) of
the instrument panel.
