lock Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 Owner's Guide

indication appears on the instrument
panel display (see “Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter), fill the
AdBlue® tank with at least 1.11 UK gal –
5 litres;
if containers which can be screwed to
the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when the AdBlue® level in the container
stops pouring out. Do not proceed
further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 4 fig. 115 back on the
AdBlue®filler by turning it clockwise and
screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to ON (it is not
necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started and
the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when the
tank was empty, see the “Refuelling ”
paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area andproceed to filling up again. If the liquid
crystallises, eliminate it with a sponge
and warm water.
IMPORTANT
If AdBlue® is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
AdBlue® was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Do not add additives or other fluids
to AdBlue®, doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into another
container: it could be contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least
by not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter to continue using the car
normally.
The AdBlue® level is not updated if
the car is parked on a sloping road.

WARNING
129)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
130)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
131)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
132)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure that
the engine is cold, to prevent the risk of
burns.
IMPORTANT
59)Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan of
the bulb. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.

EMERGENCY STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or a
little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
63)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could break
and explode!
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION
POLES
To facilitate the operation, the remote
poles of the battery for the jump starting
can be found in the engine compartment:
the battery, on the other hand, is placed
in the luggage compartment.
The negative terminal (-) fig. 144 fig. 8 is
positioned next to the right bonnet lock.The positive pole (+) can be accessed by
removing the cover fig. 145
open protective flap fig. 146.The pole is shown in fig. 147.
To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect the
auxiliary battery to the remote poles of
the flat battery. Usually, these cables
have terminals at the ends and are
identified by different sheath colours
(red = positive, black = negative).

IN AN EMERGENCY

64)Do not connect the cable to the negative
terminal (–) of the flat battery. The following
spark could lead to battery explosion and
cause serious harm. Only use the specific
earth point; do not use any other exposed
metallic part.FUEL CUT-OFFSYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a system
that cuts off the fuel supply in the event
of an impact, causing the engine to stop.
This safety device is controlled by the
ORC control unit, which manages all the
occupant protection systems. Depending
on the type and violence of the impact,
this control unit determines whether or
not to activate the airbags and the front
seatbelt pretensioners and whether or
not to immediately interrupt the current
from the batteries to the supply pumps
and to the devices that make the engine
operate. The power from the battery is
interrupted by "skipping" the pyrotechnic
fuse placed on the fusebox next to the
positive pole of the battery.
When the fuse is "skipped", only some
services, necessary for the safety of the
vehicle (eg: door locks, anti-theft device,
etc.), remain powered.
IMPORTANT After the impact, carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
IMPORTANT Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system checked.
