stop start Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Workshop Manual

This function can only be activated
within two minutes of cycling the
ignition to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upward for at least three seconds.
Function deactivation
The function is deactivated if:
Wait for longer than two minutes
before turning the ignition to the STOP
position, after having raised the lever
and starting the service procedure in
this way.
The ignition is cycled to position ON
and the windshield wiper control.
If, after using the function, the ignition is
set back to ON with the blades in a
position other than rest position (at the
base of the windshield), they will only
return to rest position following a
command given using the stalk (stalk
upwards, into unstable position) or when a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) is
exceeded.
Replacing The Windshield Wiper
Blades
Proceed as follows:
Raise the wiper arm, press tab of
the attachment spring and remove
the blade from the arm.
Fit the new blade, inserting the tab
in the dedicated housing in the arm
and checking that it is
locked.Lower the wiper arm onto
the windshield.
Note:
Do not operate the windshield
wiper with the blades lifted from the
windshield.
Windshield Washer
The window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, first check that there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine compartment” in
this chapter).
Then, check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
Exhaust System
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbon
monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
If an unusual noise from the exhaust or
the presence of smoke in the
passenger compartment is identified, or
if the underbody or rear section of the
vehicle have been damaged, have the
entire exhaust system and adjoining

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

bodywork areas checked at your
authorized dealer to identify any
components which are broken,
damaged, worn or have moved from
their correct fitting position.
Open welding or loose connections
may permit exhaust gas to enter the
passenger compartment.
Have the exhaust system checked
every time the vehicle is raised. Replace
the components where necessary (for
these operations, contact an authorized
dealer).
In normal operating conditions, the
catalytic converter does not require
maintenance. To ensure that it operates
correctly, however, and prevent it from
getting damaged, it is extremely
important that the engine operates
perfectly.
To minimize the risk of damaging the
catalytic converter, proceed as follows:
Do not stop the engine or deactivate
the ignition with gear engaged and
vehicle in motion.
Do not attempt to start the engine
by bump starting.
Do not persist in using the vehicle if
idling is very irregular or the operating
conditions are very notably irregular.
Warning!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventually
poison you.
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if
you park over materials that can burn.
Such materials might be grass or leaves
coming into contact with your exhaust
system. Do not park or operate your
vehicle in areas where your exhaust system
can contact anything that can burn.
Cooling System
Warning!
Turn vehicle off and disconnect the fan
motor lead before working near the radiator
cooling fan.
You or others can be badly burned by
hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts
automatically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling
fan, disconnect the fan motor lead or turn
the ignition to the OFF mode. The fan is
temperature controlled and can start at any
time the ignition is in the ON mode.
You or others can be badly burned by
hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator is hot.
Engine Coolant Check
Check the engine coolant level every oil
change or before long trips.
If there are impurities in the engine
coolant, the system must be drained,
flushed and refilled: contact an
authorized dealer.
Check the front part of the condenser
to check for any build-up of insects,
leaves or other debris. Should it be
dirty, clean it by spraying delicately with
water.
Check the hoses of the engine cooling
system to ensure that the rubber has
not deteriorated and that there are no
cracks, tears, cuts or obstructions in
the expansion tank side and radiator
side connectors. Should there be any
217

Wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water if possible.
Wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge.
Rinse well with water and dry with a
leather chamois.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, hood, headlight frames, etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas. Do
not wash the car after it has been left in
the sun or with the hood hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
If washing the car in a service that
moves the car, for cars with automatic
transmissions, PARK (P) must be cut
out. You have to shut off the engine in
the following conditions: car stopped,
transmission in NEUTRAL (N), press the
starter button for at least three
seconds.
Note:
Avoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion. Windows
Use specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.Caution!
Wipe the rear window inside gently with a
cloth following the direction of the filaments
to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
Note:
Never use aromatic substances
(e.g. gasoline) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
When cleaning with a pressure
washer, keep the pressure washer at
least eight inches (20 cm) away from
the headlights. Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at the
windshield wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at specializeded
workshop.
Note:
The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition device in
the STOP position. After the washing
operation, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
