warning light Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 User Guide

Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
Note: To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the car must be
within range of the garage door.
Activate the handbrake and turn the
ignition to ON, without starting the
engine. Proceed as follows:
1. Locate the “Learn” or “Train” button
on the garage door or gate motor. The
color and position may vary depending
on the manufacturer (consult the
garage door or gate manual). Push the
“Learn” or “Train” button (this normally
activates the setting warning light).
2. Push the desired HomeLink button
(1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink
indicator begins to flash slowly, move
the portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
3. Within 30 seconds, push the
programmed key (1, 2 or 3) and release
it. Push the programmed button a
second time and release it to conclude
the operation. For some motors, the
operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting.
The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by
HomeLink and then open/close the
door or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another
original remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by
canceling the previously stored
frequency.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES ON
THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light switches on
together with a dedicated message
and/or chime when applicable. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to
the information in this section in the
event of a failure indication.
The failure indicators appearing on
the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less
serious faults. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged
warning "cycle.” Less serious faults are
indicated by a warning "cycle" with a
shorter duration. You can stop the
warning cycle in both cases by
pressing the button located on the
windshield wiper lever. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related
to the Brake Booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized
dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the BRAKE (red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is
not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly
lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.
