mirror controls Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 Owner's Manual

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter
at the side of each even page.

Electric folding
(where provided)
With device 1 in position D, move it to
position C fig. 28. Turn the device 1 again
to position C to return the mirrors to the
driving position. If device 1 is turned
again during door mirror folding (from
closed to open position and vice versa),
their movement direction is reversed.
Automatic activation
Activating the central door locking
system from outside the car
automatically folds the mirrors, they
return to the driving position when the
ignition device is turned to the ON
position. If the external mirrors were
folded operating on the device 1, they
could be returned to the driving position
only operating a new control on the
device.Activation/deactivation of the function
The electric mirror folding function can
be activated/deactivated using the
Connect system menu (the default
setting of the function is “Off”).
Alternatively, you can choose to
open/close the mirrors automatically
when opening/closing the doors (using
the electronic key or the Passive Entry
system, where provided).
IMPORTANT The mirrors must always be
open while driving and should never be
folded.
ELECTROCHROMIC EXTERIOR
MIRRORS
(where provided)
As well as an inside mirror, an
electrochromic mirror is also available on
some versions, which automatically
modifies its reflecting properties to
prevent dazzling the driver. The
dazzle-prevention electrochromic
enabling/disabling button fig. 27 is the
same for all rear view mirrors.
WARNING
16)As door mirrors are curved, and
therefore they may slightly alter the
perception of distance.
EXTERNAL LIGHTS
LIGHT SWITCH
The light switches fig. 30, located on the
left side (left hand drive versions) or on
the right side (right hand drive versions)
of the dashboard, controls operation of
headlights, side lights, daytime running
lights, dipped beam headlights, front and
rear fog lights.
The external lights can be activated only
when the ignition device is in position ON,
except for the parking lights. See the
"Parking lights" paragraph, in this chapter
for more information.
The instrument panel and the various
controls on the dashboard will be lit up
when the exterior lights are switched on.
