light Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018 Owners Manual

When lane limits are detected, the
system is ready to provide indications in
case the driver unintentionally leaves the
lane (turn signal not activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system
detects the lane limits while the vehicle is
in motion, it will adjust the display
accordingly (from white to yellow and
vice versa, and increase their thickness).
If a line is crossed, the driver is alerted by
an audible signal as well as the visual
indication in the instrument cluster. The
signal is emitted through the speakers on
the side of the lane limit which is being
crossed (eg. if the vehicle is exceeding
the left line of the lane, the audible signal
will come from the speakers on the left of
the vehicle).
Changing The System Settings
The system's sensitivity can be set
through the Information and
Entertainment System. Sensitivity “High”
or “Low” can be selected.To access the function, from the main
menu select the following in order:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Safety.”
3. “Lane Departure Warning.”
4. “Sensitivity.”
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a
condition limiting the Lane Departure
Warning system operation may have
occurred. This could be an obstruction of
the camera view, or a fault in the system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield by the interior rear
view mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in
normal conditions, the system may not
function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system
are corrected, it will go back to normal
operation. Should a fault persist, contact
your authorized dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and the warning
light
appears on the display, it means
that there is a system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

STARTING AND OPERATING

SUGGESTIONS FOR DRIVING
Saving Fuel
Below are some suggestions which may
help you save fuel and lower the amount
of harmful emissions released into the
atmosphere.
Vehicle Maintenance
Checks and operations should be carried
out in accordance with the Maintenance
Plan. Refer to "Scheduled Servicing" in
"Servicing And Maintenance" for further
information.
Tires
Check the tire pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary Loads
Do not travel with an overloaded trunk.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Electric Devices
Use electrical systems only for the
amount of time needed. The rear window
defroster, additional headlights,
windshield wipers and heater blower fan
require a considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake increases
fuel consumption (by up to +25% when
city driving).Climate Control System
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use standard
ventilation when the temperature
outside permits.
Devices for Aerodynamic Control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption levels.
Driving Style
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary; this
causes the engine to warm up more
slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to drive off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: by doing this the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine.
This action is unnecessary and causes
increased fuel consumption and pollution.
Gear Selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption. Improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions and
engine wear.Max. Speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
as speed increases. Maintain a constant
speed, avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cost in terms of both
fuel consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions: acceleration
should be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum torque.
Conditions Of Use
Cold Starting
Short trips and frequent cold starts will
not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% in city driving)
and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by heavy
traffic, for instance when travelling in
traffic with frequent use of low gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road surfaces
also adversely affect consumption.
Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway
crossings) turn off the engine.
