stop start Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 2017 User Guide

Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Rain Sensor
The Rain Sensor is located behind the
interior rear view mirror. This feature
senses moisture on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for
the driver.
The feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the
windshield washers of the vehicleahead. Rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to one of four
settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range
that varies progressively from wiper still
(no stroke) when the windshield is dry,
to wiper at continuous speed (fast
operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to position
oractivates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system
is done by tapping the wiper stalk
upwards while the switch is in the
orposition.
The variation in sensitivity during rain
sensor operation is also signaled by a
stroke of the wiper (command acquired
and implemented). This stroke is also
executed with the windshield dry.
If the windshield washer is used with
the rain sensor activated, the normal
washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.
Note: Keep the glass in the sensor
area clean.
Deactivation
Use the wiper switch or turn the ignition
to STOP.
If the ignition is moved to the STOP
position and the wiper switch is left in
orposition, no wiping cycle will
occur even if it rains when the vehicle is
next started (ignition at ON). This prevents accidental activation of
the rain sensor when the engine is
started (e.g. when the windshield is
being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the windshield by ice).
You can restore the automatic functioning
of the rain sensor by lifting the windshield
wiper control (anti-panic function).
When the rain sensor is reactivated using
any of the functions described above,
reactivation is indicated by a single tap of
the windshield wipers, regardless of the
condition of the windshield.
In the event of malfunction of the rain
sensor while it is active, the windshield
wiper operates intermittently at a speed
consistent with the sensitivity setting of
the rain sensor, whether there is rain on
the glass, while the sensor failure is
indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it
is possible to set the windshield wiper
to continuous mode
or.The
failure indication remains for as long as
the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled
surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.

Switching Off/On The
Climate Control System
Switching Off The Climate Control
System
Rotate the Air Seed Adjustment Knob
completely to the left to turn off the
Climate Control System.
With the air conditioner off:
Air recirculation is on.
The A/C compressor is off.
Thefanisoff.
The heated rear window can be
activated/deactivated.
Note:
The climate control system stores the
previously set temperatures and
resumes operation when any button on
the system is pushed.
Switching On The Climate Control
System
To switch the climate control system on
in automatic mode, push the AUTO
button.
Stop/Start Evo
The climate control system manages
the Stop/Start Evo system. Stop/Start
Evo has the engine shut off when
vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h) to
maintain comfort within the vehicle.
Stop/Start Evo will deactivate in the
following scenarios:
The climate control system is in
AUTO mode (indicator illuminated), and
the vehicle has yet to reach the set
temperature
The LO setting is active
MAX-DEF status is active
When the Stop/Start Evo system is
active, the engine will restart if the
inside temperature changes
significantly, or if the LO setting, or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated.
With Stop/Start Evo system on, air flow
is reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically
changes within the cabin, the climate
control system will continue to maintain
the temperature while the engine is off.
By deactivating the Stop/Start Evo
system with the
button located on
the dashboard, the climate control
system will take priority over the engine
shutting off. Note:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the
use of the Stop/Start Evo system to
prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off. This
will cause rapid misting of the windows
and the accumulation of humidity in
the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start Evo system is
on, the climate control system will
always take air in from outside,
reducing the probability of the windows
fogging up.
Additional Heater —
If Equipped
Note:
The additional heater automatically
operates if the outside temperature and
engine coolant temperature are low.
The heater will not operate if battery
voltage is low.
System Maintenance
In winter, the Climate Control System
must be turned on at least once a
month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer before the summer.

pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
