2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia automatic transmission

until the button is released, then the new
speed will be stored.
Decreasing speed
Once the device has been activated, you
can decrease the speed by lowering the
SET switch. Each time it is operated, the
speed decreases by 1 mph (1 km/h).
By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in steps of 6 mph
(10 km/h) until the button is released,
then the new speed will be stored.
IMPORTANT Moving the SET switch
allows you to adjust the speed according
to the selected unit of measurement
("metric" or "imperial") set on the
Connect system (see dedicated
supplement).
Important notes
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the car can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, use the SET switch to set the speed
to the vehicle’s current speed.
When the SET button is pressed to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the car down
sufficiently to reach the set speed. The
device holds the set speed uphill and
downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight
gradients.The automatic transmission could change
to a lower gears when driving downhill or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed.
The device is switched off while driving if
the brakes overheat.
ACCELERATING WHEN OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active and
following a vehicle, the device provides
additional acceleration to facilitate
overtaking, when travelling over a given
speed and switches on the left direction
indicator (of the right indicator for
right-hand drive versions).
In left-hand traffic, the overtaking assist
function is only active when the left-hand
lane is used for overtaking the vehicle
ahead (the opposite activation logic is
used in right-hand traffic countries).
The device detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is activated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator.
In this condition, the device no longer
provides the overtaking assist function
on the left-hand side until it determinesthat the vehicle has returned to left-hand
traffic conditions.
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled but
not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
button and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
IMPORTANT The recall function must
only be used if the road and traffic
conditions so allow. Recalling an
excessively high or low speed for the
current traffic and road conditions could
cause an acceleration or a deceleration

JUMP STARTING
151) 152) 153)
Proceed as follows:
switch off all electrical devices in the
vehicle;
engage the parking brake, move the
lever to P (Park), for versions equipped
with automatic transmission, or neutral,
for versions with manual gearbox, then
set the ignition device to STOP;
should you be using the battery of
another vehicle, park the other vehicle
within the range of the cables used for
the connection, operate the parking
brake and ensure that its ignition is off.
IMPORTANT If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, check that
there is no accidental contact of metal
parts between the two vehicles, since an
earth connection may result, with the risk
of serious injury to any people who may
be nearby.
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the instructions
given below.
Cable connection
64)
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting:
connect a terminal on the end of the
positive cable from the remote positive
pole (+) of the car with flat battery;
connect the terminal on the opposite
end of the positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) pole of the auxiliary battery;
connect a negative cable end terminal
to the negative (-) pole of the auxiliary
battery;
connect the terminal on the opposite
end of the negative (-) cable to the earth
point (-) on the vehicle with the battery
flat;
start the engine of the car with an
auxiliary battery, let it run for some
minutes at idle and then start the engine
of the car with flat battery. In case a
portable battery is used, before starting
the vehicle, wait a few seconds after
completing the connection.
Cable disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence,
as shown below:
disconnect the negative cable end
terminal (-) from the earth point (-) of the
car with flat battery;
disconnect the terminal on the
opposite end of the negative cable fromthe negative (-) pole of the auxiliary
battery;
disconnect the terminal on the
opposite end of the positive (+) cable
from the positive (+) pole of the auxiliary
battery;
disconnect the terminal on the end of
the positive cable from the remote
positive pole (+) of the car with flat
battery.
WARNING
151)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
152)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
153)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or devices
which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
63)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.
155

64)Do not connect the cable to the negative
terminal (–) of the flat battery. The following
spark could lead to battery explosion and
cause serious harm. Only use the specific
earth point; do not use any other exposed
metallic part.FUEL CUT-OFFSYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a system
that cuts off the fuel supply in the event
of an impact, causing the engine to stop.
This safety device is controlled by the
ORC control unit, which manages all the
occupant protection systems. Depending
on the type and violence of the impact,
this control unit determines whether or
not to activate the airbags and the front
seatbelt pretensioners and whether or
not to immediately interrupt the current
from the batteries to the supply pumps
and to the devices that make the engine
operate. The power from the battery is
interrupted by "skipping" the pyrotechnic
fuse placed on the fusebox next to the
positive pole of the battery.
When the fuse is "skipped", only some
services, necessary for the safety of the
vehicle (eg: door locks, anti-theft device,
etc.), remain powered.
IMPORTANT After the impact, carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
IMPORTANT Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system checked.

IMPORTANT
81)Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h (or the
equivalent in miles). Avoid potholes, do not
drive over steps or pavements and do not
drive long distances over roads without
snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle
and the road surface.
BODY
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paintwork
82)7)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Some parts of the car may be covered
with a matt paint which, in order to be
maintained intact, requires special care:
see the instructions in the warning at the
end of this paragraph.
83)
To correctly wash the vehicle, follow
these instructions:
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at least
16 in [40 cm] away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
water could cause damage to the car in
the long term;
to make it easier to remove any dirt
deposits in the area where the blades are
normally located it is recommended to
position the windscreen wipers vertically
(service position), for more information
consult the “Maintenance procedures”
paragraph in this chapter.If you want to wash a car with automatic
transmission in a car wash that moves it,
you must do the following:
make sure that the car is on a flat
surface and that automatic engagement
of the parking brake when the engine is
switched off is disabled (for how to
disable it, refer to the “Electric parking
brake” section in the “Starting and
driving” chapter);
with the car stationary, the gear in N
(Neutral) and the brake pedal up: press
the start button.The car will remain in N
(Neutral) for 15 minutes, after which P
(Park) mode will be activated.
IMPORTANT
