display Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2018 Owner's Guide

“Dynamic”: gear changes at higher
engine speeds. It enhances sporty driving;
“Natural”: gear changes at low engine
speeds. It enhances comfort and reduces
consumption;
“All Weather”: driving programme on
roads with poor grip (e.g. snow, ice, mud,
etc.).
Gearshifting suggestion
With the transmission in automatic mode
(selector lever in position D), when
gearshifting is required by the paddles on
the steering wheel (for versions/markets,
where provided), the system shifts to
"Sequential mode", with relevant
displaying of the gear engaged, for about
5 second.
When this time has elapsed, if the
paddles are not operated anymore, the
system goes back to the automatic mode
(D), with following displaying.
SEQUENTIAL DRIVING MODE
In sequential driving mode, the
transmission works like a manual
gearbox.
Gearshifting through gear lever
Move the lever sideways (to the left)
from position D to the sequential
position:
lever towards "+": engage higher gear;
lever towards "-": engage lower gear.
The lever correct position in "Sequential
mode" is signalled when the symbols "+"
and "−" switch on and the symbol D
switches off on the display (the gear
engaged only is shown on the display).
Gearshifting through steering wheel
paddles
(for versions/markets, where provided)
27)
On some versions, the steering wheel
paddles fig. 64 can be used to change
gear in sequential mode or in D:
steering wheel paddle "+" (pulling
paddle towards driver fig. 64 ): engage
higher gear;
steering wheel paddle "-" (pulling
paddle towards driver fig. 64 ): engage
lower gear.
The engagement of a lower or higher gear
is only permitted if the engine revs allow
it.
If the car is stopped with a higher gear
than 1
stengaged, the transmission will
automatically engage 1stgear.
"Launch Control" Function
96)
The "Launch Control" strategy permits
high-performance starting.
With the car stationary, proceed as
follows to activate this function:
operate the “Alfa DNA” system and
activate the "Dynamic" driving mode;

WARNING
97)Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly. It is therefore essential that
there is nothing under the pedals: make sure
the mats are lying flat and do not get in the
way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
29)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With the vehicle stopped, the engine
stops with gearbox in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding about
10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.
The symbol
appears on the display
when the engine stops.
Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
SYSTEM MANUAL ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
button located on
the central tunnel fig. 66.
Start&Stop system activation
A message will appear on the display
when the Start&Stop system is
activated. In this condition, the LED on
the
button is off.
Start&Stop system deactivation
Deactivation of the Start&Stop system
is indicated by the symbol
and a
message on the display.
The LED on the button
switches on
when the system is deactivated.

MISSED ENGINE STOPPING
CONDITIONS
When the system is active, for a higher
comfort and safety, and to reduce
emissions, the engine does not stop in
certain ambient conditions, engine
conditions, with the doors not closed and
seat belts unfastened.
30)
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, when the vehicle and the climate
control system are in certain conditions,
such as:
With gear engaged, automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully
pressing the clutch pedal. The driver is
informed by the displaying of a message
on the display and - for versions/markets,
where provided - by the flashing of the
symbol
.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the
Start&Stop system, if the driver releases
his/her seat belt and opens the driver's or
passenger's door, the engine can be
restarted only by the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by
the flashing of the symbol
on the
display (on some versions, a message is
displayed as well).
"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following the automatic engine
restarting, the driver does not carry out
any action on the vehicle for over
3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops
the engine definitely, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition
key.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start system is deactivated.
The driver is informed of the fault by the
flashing of the symbol
.For
versions/markets, where provided, a
warning message will also appear on the
display.
In this case, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection of the
battery power supply.
98)
IMPORTANT
30)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be deactivated, for a
continuous operation of the climate control
system.
WARNING
98)When replacing the battery, always
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership. Replace
the battery with one of the same type
(HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
99)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
100)In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These are located in the car's front
bumper and rear bumper and their
function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent acoustic signal, about the
presence of obstacles in front of and
behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Version with rear sensors
On the versions with rear sensors, the
system is activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
Version with front and rear sensors
On versions with front sensors and rear
sensors, the system is activated when
the reverse gear is engaged or by
pressing the button on the centre console
.
When reverse gear is released, the front
and rear sensors remain activated until a
speed of around 15 km/h is exceeded to
allow the parking manoeuvre to be
completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing
the button
again or when a speed of
15 km/h is exceeded: the LED in the
button is off when the system is not
active.
INDICATIONS ON DISPLAY(for versions/markets, where provided)
Versions with rear sensors
On activating the sensors, the image of
the vehicle with rear distance bars will
appear on the "Reconfigurable
Multifunction Display".
Versions with front and rear sensors
On activating the sensors, the image of
the vehicle with front and rear distance
bars will appear on the "Reconfigurable
Multifunction Display".
Obstacle presence and distance
information is therefore provided both
by the buzzer (volume of the acoustic
warning cannot be adjusted) and the
indication on the display.
If there are several obstacles, the closest
one is displayed. On the version with
front and rear sensors, the closest
obstacle in the front area and in the rear
area is displayed.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the presence
and distance of an obstacle from the car
is transmitted to the driver by means of
acoustic signals from buzzers installed in
the passenger compartment.
