2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia change wheel

towards the steering wheel, the lights
remain on while you are operating the
lever.
Automatic high beam (AHB system)
headlights
(where provided)
The AHB system is used to switch the
high beam headlights on and off
automatically and to adapt the lighting
near towns.
Function enabling
This function is enabled in the Connect
system by selecting “Settings”, “Lights”
fig. 32 and then “Automatic High Beam”
and with the light switch turned to the
AUTOposition.
Function activation
When the high beam headlights are
operated for the first time (by pushing
the left stalk), this function is enabled (onthe instrument panel, thewarning
light or the
symbol will turn on).
If the high beam headlights are actually
on, the blue icon/warning light
will
also come on in the instrument panel.
The function activates the high beam
headlights when the speed is higher than
37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function switches the main beam
headlights off.
If the fixed main beam headlights are
operated quickly again (pushing the left
stalk towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will switch on in the
instrument panel and the main beam
headlights will be switched on constantly
until the speed exceeds 37 mph
(60 km/h). When the speed of 37 mph
(60 km/h) is exceeded again, the
automatic functioning is reactivated.
Function deactivation
To deactivate the automatic function
rotate the light switch ring nut to position
.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The correct operation of the automatic
high beam function may be influenced by:
presence of reflections on road sign
surfaces;
dim light of other road users (e.g.
cyclists or pedestrians);
bad weather (rain or fog);
presence of dirt on the sensor or
obstruction of the sensor;
damage to the windscreen or presence
of dirt or ice/snow or misting up of the
windscreen;
presence of vehicles approaching in
the opposite direction partially obscured
by a central obstacle.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the
windscreen is always defrosted and
demisted in winter.
DIRECTION INDICATORS
Move the left stalk fig. 31 to the end of
its travel (unstable position):
up: right direction signal activated, the
warning light
flashes on the
instrument panel;
down: left direction signal activated,
the warning light
flashes on the
instrument panel.
The direction indicators are switched off
automatically when the steering wheel is
straightened.
"Lane Change" function
When you want to signal a lane change,
move the lever until the first impulse
(about half stroke).
The direction indicator on the selected

operation when all the pressure sensors
have been detected again.
IMPORTANT If wheels without pressure
sensors (e.g. wheels with winter tyres)
have been installed on the vehicle and the
standard wheels (with sensors) are
stored close the vehicle, the system
could detect the pressures of the latter
and consequently display the fault cycle
again once its has left the sensitive area.
WARNING
57)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about incoming
vehicles outside of the detection areas. The
driver must always maintain a sufficient
level of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the vehicle.
58)The Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
system is automatically deactivated when
RACE mode is selected.
59)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
60)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).61)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
62)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part (e.g.
another car, a wall or another obstacle), the
system may detect its presence and
activate. In this case the system must be
deactivated through the settings of the
Connect system.
63)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the spare
tyre, and correct maintenance: the system is
not used to signalling a possible tyre fault.
64)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when the
tyres are cold.
65)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the system will no longer be
available and a warning message will be
shown on the display, until wheels with
sensors are fitted again.
66)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
67)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.68)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed by
Alfa Romeo Dealerships.
69)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff. Contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT
22)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
23)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with adhesives,
auxiliary headlights or any other object.
24)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
25)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front geometry,
tyre change, or a heavier load than the
standard load of the vehicle.
26)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership for any operation of this
type.

SAFETY

start and stop independently for each
warning light if several seat belts are
unfastened.
The icon will turn green after the
corresponding seat belt has been
fastened.
The rear seat icons will go out, regardless
of the state of the belt (red icon or green
icon), approximately 30 seconds after
the last signal.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
(red icon) or fastened (green icon), not
the presence of any passengers.
The warning lights/icons all stay off if all
seat belts (front and rear) are fastened
when the ignition device is set to ON.
For the rear seats, the icons will activate
a few seconds after the ignition device
has been turned to ON, regardless of the
status of the seat belts (even if the seat
belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/icons will come on
when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.PRETENSIONERS
The vehicle is equipped with front and
rear lateral seat belt pretensioners,
which draw back the seat belts by several
centimetres in the event of a strong
frontal impact. This guarantees the
perfect adherence of the seat belts to
the occupant's bodies before the
retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner on the front seat belts
(fitted in the kick plate area). Its
activation is signalled by the shortening
of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any changes
to its original conditions will invalidate its
efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership to have it
replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action ofthe pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight
to the torso and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERS
72)
32)
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front and rear lateral seat
belt retractors contain a load limiter
which controls the force acting on the
chest and shoulders during the belt
restraining action in the event of a
head-on collision.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
73) 74) 75)
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with the
local laws in force regarding the use of
seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant
women: the risk of injury in the event of
an accident is reduced for them and the
unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it
passes over the pelvis and under the
abdomen fig. 73. While pregnancy
progresses, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
