Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification EN228. Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or

mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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 of WARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle. There are also PRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could

cause accidents or injuries. Therefore, all WARNINGSand PRECAUTIONS must always be followed carefully. WARNINGSand PRECAUTIONS are 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.

SAFE LOCKDEVICE

(for versions/markets, where provided) This safety device inhibits the operation

of the interior door handles and the door locking/unlocking button. We recommend that you activate this device each time you park your car.

Activating the device

The device is enabled on all the doors by pressing the button

on the key twice quickly. Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the direction indicators and a flash of the LED on the button

on the dashboard. The device does not come on if one or more doors is not properly shut.

Deactivating the device

The device disengages automatically:

the key insert is turned to opening

position in the driver side door;

by pressing the button on the key; by turning the ignition key to the MAR

position.

IMPORTANT Once the safe lock system is engaged, it is impossible to open the doors from inside the car. Therefore, before getting out of the car check that there is no one left on board. If the remote control battery is flat, the device can only be deactivated by using the metal insert in one of the door locks.

WARNING

1) Pressbutton 2 only with the key away

from your body, especially your eyes and from objects which could get damaged (e.g. your clothes). Do not leave the key unattended to avoid the button being accidentally pressed while it is being handled, e.g. by a child.

IMPORTANT

1) Used batteries may be harmful to the

environment if not disposed of correctly. They must be disposed of as specified by law in the special containers or taken to an Alfa Romeo Dealership, which will take care of their disposal.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 4:

STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. radio, central door locking system, alarm, etc.) are enabled;

MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled;

AVV: engine starting.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start, before the starting operation can be repeated.

the vehicle.

4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that could adversely affect performance and safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the car not meeting type-approval requirements.

5) Never remove the key while the car is moving. The steering wheel will automatically lock as soon as it is turned. This holds true for cars being towed as well.

ALFAROMEO CODE SYSTEM

The Alfa Romeo Code prevents unauthorised use of the vehicle, disabling engine starting.

Operation

Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the Powertrain Control Module to deactivate the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted by the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo CODE system deactivates the functions of the Powertrain Control Module.

Irregular operation

If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the icon

appears on the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the car. If it is still not possible to start the engine, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

Activation of warning light while driving

If the icon appears on the display, this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to a voltage drop).

If the icon continues to be displayed, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

IMPORTANT

1) The electronic components inside the key

may be damaged if the key is subjected to strong shocks. In order to ensure complete efficiency of the electronic devices inside the key, it should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WIPER

This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.

SCREEN WIPER/WASHER

Operation 5) 6)

Ring 2 fig. 22 can be set to the following positions:

O – windscreen wiper off;

– intermittent operation (low

speed); AUTO – Rain sensor on (for

versions/markets where provided);

– intermittent operation;

– continuous slow operation;

– continuous fast operation.

A0K0557C

Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to limit operation to the time for which the stalk is held in this position. When released, the stalk will return to its default position and the windscreen wiper will be automatically stopped.

“Smart washing” function

Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled for more than half a second to operate the windscreen washer jet and wiper automatically with a single movement.

The windscreen wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released. A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds completes the wiping cycle.

RAIN SENSOR

(for versions/markets, where provided) It can detect the presence of rain and

consequently manage windscreen wiping in accordance with the amount of water on the windscreen.

The sensor is activated when the ring 2 fig. 22 is turned to "automatic" position ("AUTO" control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of water on the windscreen.

If no rain is detected, the wiper will not carry out any strokes.

If the engine is switched off with the lever in the automatic position, when the car is next started, no wiping cycle will take place even if it is raining. This is to prevent unwanted activation of the rain sensor when the engine is started (i.e. when the windscreen is being washed by hand or the wiper blades are stuck to the windscreen by ice).

To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor, turn the ring on the right stalk 2 fig. 22 from automatic position (AUTO) to position O and then turn ring 2 back to the AUTO position.

When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of the manoeuvres described above, reactivation is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen wipers, regardless of the condition of the windscreen.

REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER

(for versions/markets, where provided) This operates only with the ignition key

turned to MAR. Turn ring 1 fig. 22 from position O to

position

to operate the rear window

wiper as follows:

in intermittent mode when the

windscreen wiper is not operating;

in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper is operating;

in continuous mode with reverse gear

engaged and the control active. Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard

(rocking position) will activate the rear window washer jet. Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear window wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart washing function, as described for the windscreen wiper.

IMPORTANT

5) Never use the windscreen wipers to

remove layers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such conditions, the windscreen wiper may be subjected to excessive stress and the motor cut-out switch, which prevents operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored (even after restarting that car with the key), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

6) Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the blades lifted from the windscreen.

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.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS

These operate when the ignition key is turned to MAR and for about 3 minutes after turning the key to STOP or removing it if one of the front doors is open.

The buttons are located in the door panel trim fig. 25 (the driver side door panel can be used to operate all the windows).

Anti-crush safety device

An anti-pinch device operates when the front and rear windows are raised. This safety system detects the presence of an obstacle during the window closing travel

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

and cuts in by stopping and reversing the window travel, depending on its position.
