Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2014 Owners Manual

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:
catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and
evaporation control system
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust
gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
62)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all carbon particle
emissions in compliance with
current/future regulations and
standards.During standard use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be periodically
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according
to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a
limited increase in the engine idle
speed, fan activation, a limited increase
in fumes and high temperatures at the
exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
normal car performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, in chapter "Knowing the
instrument panel".
WARNING
62) The catalytic converter and
particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not park
the car on flammable materials
(e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine
needles, etc.): fire hazard.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display fig. 99.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or
"All Weather" mode and to follow the
suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator,
where the traffic conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, when the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon is displayed, it advises
the driver to engage a lower gear.NoteThe indication in the instrument
panel remains on until the driver shifts
gear or the driving conditions go back
to a situation where gearshifting is
not required to improve consumption.
WELCOME MOVEMENT
On some versions, when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, the following
occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of
the speedometer and rpm gauge;
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display;
❒displaying of an animated graphic
representation of the vehicle profile.
Gauge movement
❒If the key is removed from the ignition
switch whilst the gauges are moving,
they immediately go back to their
initial position.
❒Once they have reached the full scale
values, the gauges rest on the value
indicated by the vehicle.
❒The movement of the gauges stops
when the engine is started.Lighting of graphic
symbols/display
A few seconds after the key is inserted,
the gauges, graphic symbols and
display light up in sequence.
Display of graphic
animation
When the key is removed from the
ignition switch (with the doors closed),
the display remains lit up and shows
a graphic animation.
The display lighting is then dimmed
gradually until it goes out completely.
