warning lights Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 Owner's Guide

142)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
143)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of
overheating. The Tire Repair Kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs, so the
repaired tyres may only be used temporarily.
144)As required by current regulations, the
information on chemical substances for the
protection of human health and the
environment and on the safe use of the
sealing fluid are on the packaging label.
Compliance with the indications on the label
is an essential condition to ensure the safety
and the effectiveness of the product.
Remember to carefully read the label before
use; the user of the product is responsible
for any damages caused by improper use.
The sealing fluid has an expiry date. Replace
the bottle if the sealant has expired.
145)If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the Tire Repair Kit
cannot guarantee proper seal because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
146)The Tire Repair Kit provide a
temporary repair, therefore the tyre must be
examined and repaired by a specialist as
soon as possible. The sealant is suitable for
use at temperatures in the range from −40°C
to +50°C.147)Indicate the presence of the stationary
car in accordance with current regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Those on board should get out of the vehicle
and wait for the wheel to be repaired away
from the threat posed by the traffic. If
parked on a slope or rough surface, chock
the wheels with wedges or other suitable
devices (for the correct procedure for
parking the car safely, refer to the "Parking"
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).
IMPORTANT
62)In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to repair
tyres showing damage on the tyre tread up
to max. 6mm diameter.
IMPORTANT
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
liquid properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
RUN FLAT TYRES
(where provided)
148) 149) 150)
"Run Flat" tyres allow you to maintain
control of the car after a puncture and to
continue driving safely for about 50 mi
(80 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
The reinforced tyre wall retains its shape
and supports the weight of the car in the
event of pressure loss.
Cars equipped with Run Flat tyres are
NOT provided with Tire Repair Kits. For
repair, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership
as soon as possible.
WARNING
148)Do not exceed the maximum distance
or speed (80 km - 80 km/h) in the event of
pressure loss-puncture.
149)A pressure loss alters the driving
behaviour of the car, for example, causing
less directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and altered
steering geometry. Therefore, adjust your
driving style to avoid sudden turns or
obstacles such as pavements and potholes.
150)Do not exceed 60 km/h when driving
with an especially heavy trailer.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and maintenance
operations at fixed distance intervals
and, for versions/markets, where
provided, at fixed time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an Alfa
Romeo Dealership according to a set
time schedule. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit consent only.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
operations are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Alfa Romeo
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every year or620miles (1,000km) or
before long journeys, check and top up, if
necessary:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
Alfa Romeo dealership as soon as
possible);
low AdBlue diesel emissions additive
(UREA) level warning (2.2 JTD versions
only);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights,
direction
indicators,
hazard

warning
lights,
etc.);
operation
of
screen
washing/wiping

system
and
positioning/wear
of
wiper

blades.

remaining on inside the passenger's
compartment;
switch off all roof lights inside the car:
the car is however equipped with a
system which switches all internal lights
off automatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. Connect
system, hazard warning lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
cable from the negative battery terminal.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery is
damaged by sulphation, reducing its
capacity and efficiency at start-up. The
battery is also more prone to the risk of
freezing (already at 14 °F / -10°C).
WARNING
156)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
157)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Do not get too close to
the radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may
start; danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.158)If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (where provided). WARNING:
risk of burns!
159)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
160)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
161)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
162)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
163)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
164)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature, remove
the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
165)When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your eyes
with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
65)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are not
compatible with each other! Topping up with
an unsuitable fluid could severely damage
your vehicle.
66)The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
67)If the MAX mark is exceeded (last notch
on the right turns red) after the top-up, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible to have the oil in excess removed.
68)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
69)Use a fluid of the same type as that
already present in the reservoir for any
topping up of the engine cooling system. The
fluid cannot be mixed with other types of
antifreeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
70)When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. Open the
boot manually if it is locked.
