roof rack ALFA ROMEO GIULIA 2022 Owners Manual

59

The sunroof has three preset positions:
Fully closed
Comfort (intermediate opening)
Fully open

NOTE:
You cannot have the sunshade closed when the
sunroof is open.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE SUNROOF
To open the sunroof’s front panel, push the open/
close button toward the rear of the vehicle to
open to the comfort position (half way). Pushing
the button a second time will open to the fully
open position.
To close the sunroof, push the open/close button
toward the front of the vehicle. The roof will close
completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any
position by pushing the open/close button again.
VENTING SUNROOF
To bring the roof into vent position, push and
release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be activated
regardless of the position of the sunroof. When
starting with the roof in the closed position,
pushing the vent button automatically causes the
sunroof to open to the vent position. If the roof is
already open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the vent-opening position.
Pushing vent button again during automatic
movement of the roof will stop it.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The front sunshade is power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward
the rear of the vehicle to open the front sun shade
to the three quarter open position. Pushing the
button a second time will open the sunshade
completely.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward
the front of the vehicle to close the sun shade.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any
position by pushing the Power Shade open/close
button again.
To open the rear sunshade, pull sunshade
manually toward the rear of the vehicle.
PINCH PROTECT FEATURE
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system
capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle
during the closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed
into opening.
RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It
may also be necessary to initialize the sunroof
after the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected
and then reconnected.

NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during
the re-initialization procedure.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
keyless ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury
or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the
sunroof opening. Injury may result.
CAUTION!
Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun roof
if there is snow or ice on it: you may damage it.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

60

Proceed as follows:
1. With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, make sure the sunroof glass is fully closed
(sunshade open).
2. Open the driver’s side door, and place the ignition in the OFF position.
3. Within five seconds, place the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.

4. Within 10 seconds, push and hold the sunroof close switch (forward). After 8-10 seconds of
holding the switch, the re-initialization process
will begin. Continue to hold the switch while
the sunroof motor cycles, and the sunshade
will fully close.

5. Once the sunroof glass and the power sunshade have stopped motion, release the
sunroof close switch, then push and hold it
again within five seconds. Continue to hold
the switch while the sunshade fully opens,
the sunroof glass fully opens, followed by the
glass fully closing then the sunshade fully
closing.
6. Release the switch once the operations stop. Re-initialization of the sunroof motors is now
complete.

NOTE:
If the switch is released prior to full completion of
the operations described, the entire re-initializa -
tion procedure must be repeated from step 1.
7. Confirm express operations for the sunroof glass and sunshade are functional for
opening and closing operations.
SUNROOF MAINTENANCE
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth
to clean the glass panel. Periodically check for
and clear out any debris that may have collected
in the tracks.
HOOD
OPENING THE HOOD
To open the hood, two latches must be released.
1. Pull the release lever located underneath the driver’s side of the instrument panel.
Hood Release Lever
2. Lift the hood slightly. Move the underhood latch from right to left to release the hood. Release Hood Latch To The Left
3. Raise the hood completely. The operation is assisted by the addition of two gas props
which hold it in the open position.

NOTE:

Do not tamper with the props and assist the
hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood. Before lifting,
check that the windshield wiper arms are not
raised from the windshield or in operation, that
the vehicle is stationary and that the Electric
Park Brake is engaged.

Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs)
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side
Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs).
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs) are located above the side windows. The
trim covering the SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG”
or “AIRBAG.”Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Location
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head and
other injuries to front and rear seat outboard
occupants in certain side impacts, in addition to
the injury reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering the side
windows. An inflating SABIC pushes the outside
edge of the headliner out of the way and covers
the window. The SABICs inflate with enough force
to injure occupants if they are not belted and
seated properly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the SABICs inflate. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a deploying air
bag. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through
side windows in certain side impact events.
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) determines whether the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side impact
sensors aid the ORC in determining the
appropriate response to impact events. The
system is calibrated to deploy the Side Air Bags
on the impact side of the vehicle during impacts
that require Side Air Bag occupant protection. In
side impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy
independently; a left side impact deploys the left
Side Air Bags only and a right-side impact deploys
the right Side Air Bags only. Vehicle damage by
itself is not a good indicator of whether or not
Side Air Bags should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side
collisions, including some collisions at certain
angles, or some side collisions that do not impact
the area of the passenger compartment. The Side
Air Bags may deploy during angled or offset
frontal collisions where the front air bags deploy.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint system. Side Air Bags deploy in less time
than it takes to blink your eyes.
WARNING!
Do not mount equipment, or stack luggage or
other cargo up high enough to block the
deployment of the SABICs. The trim covering
above the side windows where the SABIC
and its deployment path are located should
remain free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as intended,
do not install any accessory items in your
vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not add
an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require permanent
attachments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof
of the vehicle for any reason.
WARNING!
Occupants, including children, who are up
against or very close to Side Air Bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
including children, should never lean on or
sleep against the door, side windows, or area
where the side air bags inflate, even if they
are in an infant or child restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
Side Air Bag. To get the best protection from
the Side Air Bags, occupants must wear their
seat belts properly and sit upright with their
backs against the seats. Children must be
properly restrained in a child restraint or
booster seat that is appropriate for the size
of the child.
