start stop button Alfa Romeo Giulia 2019 User Guide

START & STOP EVO
The Start & Stop Evo 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
Versions with manual transmission
With the car stopped, the engine stops
with gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal
released.
Versions with automatic transmission
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
NOTE The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run at
about 6.2 mph (10 km/h). After anautomatic restart, to stop the engine you
only need to move the car (exceed a
speed of 0.3 mph (0.5 km/h).
Engine stopping is signalled by the
symbol lighting up on the instrument
panel display.
Restarting the engine
Versions with manual transmission
To restart the engine, press the clutch
pedal.
If the car does not start when the clutch
is pressed, place the gear lever in neutral
and repeat the procedure. If the problem
persists, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Versions with automatic transmission
To restart the engine, release the brake
pedal.
With the brake pressed and the
transmission in automatic mode D
(Drive), the engine will restart by shifting
to R (Reverse gear), for petrol engine
versions only, to "AutoStick".
With brake pressed, also for versions
with petrol engines, if the gear lever is in
"AutoStick" mode, the engine can be
restarted by moving the lever to + or -.

STARTING AND DRIVING

“STOP AND GO” STRATEGY
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the car has
completely stopped. It will also restart
the car automatically if the vehicle ahead
moves off within two seconds, otherwise
it is necessary to press the accelerator
pedal or the RES button to restart.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
if thebutton on the Active Cruise
Control is pressed (with the device
enabled or paused);
the ignition device is in the STOP
position;
RACE mode is activated.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the device is paused (see the
“Activating / Deactivating Active Cruise
Control” paragraph);
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION
WARNING
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the system
operation may have occurred.
The possible reasons of this limitationare something blocking the camera view
or a fault. If an obstruction is signalled,
clean the area of the windscreen
indicated in fig. 102 and check that the
message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below): the
driver must control the car at all times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
VEHICLE not aligned
The device may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which is
not aligned along the same direction of
travel or a vehicle which is cutting in from
a side lane. Sufficient distance from the
vehicles ahead may not be guaranteed in
these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in and
out of the driving direction causing the
vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.Steering and bends
When cornering with the device set, it
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability even if no
vehicles are detected ahead. When
leaving the bend, the device resets the
previously set speed.
IMPORTANT In case of narrow curves,
the performance of the device could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the device. Moreover,
remember that the device only limits the
speed DURING a bend and not BEFORE
it, so always take great care.
Using the device on gradient
When driving on roads with variable
gradient, the device may not detect the
presence of a vehicle on the lane. Device
performance could be limited according
to speed, load, traffic conditions and
gradient steepness.
Lane change
The device may not detect the presence
of a vehicle until it is fully in your lane. In
this case, sufficient distance from the
vehicle which is changing lane may not be
guaranteed: it is advisable to pay the
utmost attention at all times and be
always ready to press the brakes if
needed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

make sure that switch 5 fig. 142 of
the compressor is in position O (OFF);
insert the plug into the socket on the
central tunnel, start the engine;
start the compressor, placing the
switch 5 fig. 142 to position I (ON);
inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Rims and Tyres”
paragraph (see “Technical data” chapter).
In order to obtain a more precise reading,check the pressure value on pressure
gauge 6 fig. 142 with the compressor off;
if after 15 minutes pressure is not at
least 26 psi (1.8 bar), disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
socket, then move the car forwards
approx. five wheel turns in order to
distribute the sealant inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
if you still cannot obtain a pressure of
at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) within
15 minutes from the compressor
switching on, do not drive off and contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership;
after having driven for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric parking
brake and recheck the tyre pressure;
if the pressure is less than 26 psi
(1.8 bar), do not go back into gear but see
an Alfa Romeo dealer;
if a pressure value of at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake), resume driving
immediately and drive with great care to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
SEALANT BOTTLE REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT Only use original cartridges,
which can be purchased at an Alfa Romeo
dealership.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the tank 1 fig. 143 pressingthe unhooking button 9;
insert the new tank pressing it
downwards hard.
WARNING
138)Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the Tire Repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
139)Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Tire Repair kit.
140)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the Tire
Repair Kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking.
141)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Tire Repair Kit. Give
the booklet to the technicians who will be
handling the tyre that was treated using the
Tire Repair Kit.

Top-up and oil level indication update
on display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as follows
to ensure correct indication of the oil
level on the display:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
with the vehicle level, run the engine
for approximately 5 minutes
(temperature higher than 176°F (80°C)
and then stop the engine;
start the engine again and idle it for

engine and wait for 20 seconds.
IMPORTANT If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.IMPORTANT The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the
symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an Alfa
Romeo dealership.
Engine oil consumption
68)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.88 lb (400 grams every
620 miles (1000 km). When the car is
new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
first 3100 - 3700 miles (5000 -
6000 km).
