warning Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 2017 Owner's Guide

Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with
power windows. Do not leave the key fob
in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children. Occupants,
particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while
operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
POWER SUNROOF —
IF EQUIPPED
Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of two
glass panels (the front one is mobile
and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with
two power operated sun shades.
Operation of the sunroof is only
possible with the ignition at AVV. Refer
to “Ignition” in this chapter for further
information.
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
AVV or ON mode. 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.
Opening
To open the sunroof, push the
open/close button toward the rear of
the vehicle to open the roof completely.
The automatic motion can be
interrupted in any position by pushing
the open/close button again.

HOOD
Opening
To open the hood, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the release lever located on the
driver’s side kick panel.
2. Go to the outside of the vehicle and
position yourself in front of the grille.
3. Lift the hood slightly.
4. From right to left, move the
under-hood latch to release the hood.5. 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.
Closing
As the hood is extremely light, to close
the hood, lower it to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine
compartment then apply a slight
pressure downward and drop the hood.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to push the
hood down but open it and repeat the
procedure
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is travelling.
Since the hood is equipped with a
double locking system, one for each
side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is
in motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.

Homelink — If Equipped
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and
home or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.

Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
Note: To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the car must be
within range of the garage door.
Activate the handbrake and turn the
ignition to ON, without starting the
engine. Proceed as follows:
1. Locate the “Learn” or “Train” button
on the garage door or gate motor. The
color and position may vary depending
on the manufacturer (consult the
garage door or gate manual). Push the
“Learn” or “Train” button (this normally
activates the setting warning light).
2. Push the desired HomeLink button
(1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink
indicator begins to flash slowly, move
the portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
3. Within 30 seconds, push the
programmed key (1, 2 or 3) and release
it. Push the programmed button a
second time and release it to conclude
the operation. For some motors, the
operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting.
The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by
HomeLink and then open/close the
door or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another
original remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by
canceling the previously stored
frequency.
