engine Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 2017 Manual PDF

By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in increments of
five mph until the button is released.
Then, the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you
to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"metric") set on the Connect system
(see dedicated supplement).
When the unit of measurement is
set to metric, holding the SET switch
the speed will change in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In
this case, use the SET switch to set
the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
When you push the SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the vehicle down
sufficiently to reach the set speed. The
device holds the set speed uphill and
downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight
inclines.
The transmission could change to a
lower gear when driving downhill, or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving
if the brakes overheat.
Accelerating When
Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing
the vehicle. This additional acceleration
is triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal and will only be active
when passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is deactivated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator and returns to
the original lane.
Resuming The Speed
Once the system has been canceled
but not deactivated, to resume a
previously set speed, simply push the
RES button and remove your foot from
the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed. Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then push the RES button and
release it.
Warning!
The Resume function should only be used
if traffic and road conditions permit.
Resuming a set speed that is too high or
too low for prevailing traffic and road
conditions could cause the vehicle to
accelerate or decelerate too sharply for
safe operation. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system
uses a forward looking camera located
on the windshield to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over
one without the an activated turn signal,
the system emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
surpassed line will light up on the
display (left or right) to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on
the same lane, bend with a small radius of
curvature), by road surface conditions and
by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively an authorized dealer.
Do not replace the windshield on your own.
It is advisable to replace the windshield if it
is damaged in the area of the camera.
System Activation/
Deactivation
The system is activated/deactivated by
pushing the button located on the end
of the turn signal lever.
Note: When the engine is started the
system is always activated.
Activation Conditions
The system becomes active only if the
following conditions are met:
The vehicle speed is above 37 mph
(60 km/h).
The lane limit lines are visible at least
on one side.
There are suitable visibility conditions.

REFUELING THE
VEHICLE
Refueling The Vehicle
Before refueling, make sure that the fuel
type is correct.
Also, stop the engine before refueling.
Note: An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
Caution!
Never introduce leaded fuel to the tank,
even in small amounts in an emergency, as
this would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
Refueling Capacity
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top off twice after the first
click of the fuel nozzle.
Further top-off could cause faults in the
fuel feeding system.
Refueling Procedure
The fuel filler door is unlocked when the
central door locking system is
unlocked. It is automatically locked
when the central locking system is
applied.
171

Opening The Fuel Filler Door
To refuel proceed as follows:
1. Open fuel filler door by pressing on
the point shown by the arrow.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, before removing the nozzle,
wait for at least 10 seconds in order for
the fuel to flow inside the tank.
5. Remove the fuel filler nozzle, tighten
the gas cap about ¼ turn until you hear
one click. This is an indication that cap
is properly tightened.The label indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL = gasoline).
Emergency Fuel Door Opening
In the event of an emergency the fuel
filler door can be opened by operating
from inside the trunk.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the deck lid and reach the
emergency opening cable placed on
the side of the fuel filler
2. Pull the cord to unlock the fuel filler
door
3. Open the fuel filler door by pressing
on it (see the previous instructions)
Warning!
Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may cause
the MIL to turn on.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped
into a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground while filling.
Note: If the filler compartment is
washed with a pressure washer, keep it
at a distance of at least 8 inches
(20 cm).GUID-07206S0001EMFuel Door

STARTING AND OPERATING

Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use standard
ventilation when the temperature
outside permits.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption levels.
Driving Style
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to drive off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: by doing this the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine.
This action is unnecessary and causes
increased fuel consumption and
pollution.
Gear Selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption. Improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.Max. Speed
Fuel consumption considerably
increases as speed increases. Maintain
a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration,
which cost in terms of both fuel
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
torque.
Conditions Of Use
Cold Starting
Short trips and frequent cold starts will
not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% in city driving)
and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in traffic with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Winding mountain roads and
rough road surfaces also adversely
affect consumption.
Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway
crossings) switch off the engine.
Transporting
Passengers
Warning!
It is extremely dangerous to leave
children in a parked vehicle when the
temperature outside is very high. The heat
inside the passenger compartment may
have serious, or even fatal, consequences.
Never travel in the trunk of the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, anyone inside
the trunk would be at greater risk of serious
or even fatal injury.
Ensure that all the occupants of the
vehicle wear their seat belts correctly and
that any children are positioned correctly
on the dedicated child restraint systems.
Transporting Animals
The intervention of the airbags may be
dangerous for an animal on the front
seat. It is therefore advised to arrange
animals on the rear seat inside
dedicated cages restrained by the
vehicle’s seat belts.
Keep in mind that, in the event of a
sudden braking or an accident, an
inadequately restrained animal may be
projected within the passenger
compartment, risking injury to the
animal itself and the other occupants of
the vehicle.
175

Exhaust Gas
Exhaust emissions are very dangerous,
and may be lethal. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
which can cause fainting and poisoning
if inhaled.
To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide,
take the following measures:
Do not keep the engine running in
closed spaces.
If, for some reason (e.g. transporting
bulky loads), it is necessary to drive
with the trunk open, close all the
windows and run the climate control fan
at maximum speed. DO NOT activate
air recirculation mode.
Should it be necessary to stay in the
stationary vehicle with engine running,
adjust the ventilation/heating system
and operate the fan in such a way that
outside air will enter the passenger
compartment. Activate the maximum
fan speed.
Maintenance of the exhaust system
provides the best protection against
leaks of carbon monoxide into the
passenger compartment.
Should an unusual noise from the
exhaust system or the presence of
exhaust gas in the passenger
compartment be identified, or if the
underbody or rear section of the vehicle
is damaged, have the entire exhaust
system and bodywork areas checked
to identify any components which are broken, damaged, worn or have moved
from their correct fitting position. If any
of these things occur, contact your
authorized dealer.
Open welding or loose connections
may permit exhaust gas to enter the
passenger compartment.
Check the exhaust system each time
the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change operations. Replace the
components if necessary, contact your
authorized dealer.
Performance
This vehicle is equipped with an engine
capable of delivering exceptionally fast
acceleration and speed:
Peak power: 505 HP at 6500 rpm.
Peak torque: 443 ft-lbs at
2500–5000 rpm.
Top speed: 190 mph (307 km/h).
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph
(0 to 100 km/h): 3.9 seconds.
For safe driving, it is essential,
particularly during the first days of use,
to get to know the car by driving
carefully and gradually discovering its
performance.
Brakes
The car braking system may be
available with four carbon-ceramic
material brake discs, one on each
wheel.
In order to guarantee the maximum
braking capacity for the first use, Alfa Romeo performs a "run-in" procedure
for discs and pads directly at the
factory.
The use of carbon-ceramic material
brake discs guarantees braking features
(better deceleration/pedal load ratio,
braking distances, fading resistance)
proportional to the dynamic features of
the car in addition to considerably
decreasing the unsprung component
weight.
The materials used and the structural
features of the system could generate
unusual noises which have absolutely
no adverse effect on correct operation
and reliability of the braking system.
Greater pressure may need to be
applied to the brake pedal the first time
to keep the same braking capacities in
presence of condensation or salt on the
braking surfaces, for example after
washing or if the car is not used for a
long time.
Note:
Given the high technological
level of this system, any servicing on it
must be performed by your authorized
dealer which exclusively has the skills
needed for the repair operations.
In case of intensive, high-performance
use of the car, have the efficiency of the
carbon-ceramic material braking
system inspected as shown on the
Maintenance Plan at your authorized
dealer.
176
STARTING AND OPERATING

Driving On Race Tracks
Before driving on a track using a racing
style, it is necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine
compartment. For more information,
see the “Checking Levels” section in
the “Servicing And Maintenance”
chapter.
Have the car inspected at your
authorized dealer.
Remember that the car was not
designed to be driven exclusive on the
race track and that this use increases
stress and component wear.
Preheating the carbon ceramic
material brake discs
The brake discs must be warmed up to
make them fully efficient. You are
advised to perform the following
procedure:
Brake nine times from 80 mph to
18 mph (130 km/h to 30 km/h) with
deceleration equal to 0.7g (the
longitudinal acceleration value is shown
on the instrument panel display by
setting RACE mode and selecting the
“Performance” page) with 20 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph (60 km/h
and 100 km/h) and do not brake for
4 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down;
Then brake three times from
124 mph to 18 mph (200 km/h to
30 km/h) with deceleration equal to
1.1g (ABS operation) with 30 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph (60 km/h
and 100 km/h) and do not brake for
5 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down.
