Alfa Romeo Giulia (2019 year). Manual — part 11

This function can only be activated within
2 minutes of setting the ignition device
to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at least
three seconds.

If, after using the function, the ignition
device is set back to ON with the blades
in a position other than rest position (at
the base of the windscreen), they will only
return to rest position following a
command given using the stalk (stalk
upwards, into unstable position) or when
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) is exceeded.

Replacing the windscreen wiper blades

Proceed as follows:

raise the wiper arm, press tab

fig. 159 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;

fit the new blade, inserting the tab in

the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;

lower the wiper arm onto the

windscreen.

IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.

Windscreen washer

The window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that
there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine compartment” in this
chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not
clogged; use a needle to unblock them if
necessary.

WARNING

168) The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in the
case of blowbacks from the engine. DO NOT
REMOVE this system unless you need to
carry out repair or servicing operations.
Before starting the engine, ensure that the
system has not been removed: failure to
observe this precaution may result in serious
injury.
169) Exhaust emissions are very dangerous,
and may be lethal. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas which
can cause fainting and poisoning if inhaled.
170) The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material. Dry
grass or leaves can also catch fire if they
come into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come into
contact with flammable material.

IMPORTANT

72) Incorrect servicing of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
malfunction inspected immediately by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.

73) The vehicle is equipped with fluids which
are optimised or protecting its performance
and life and extending service intervals. Do
not use chemicals for washing these
components since they may damage the
engine, the transmission or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
74) An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging to
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
75) Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with unleaded
petrol. Leaded petrol would permanently
damage the catalytic converter and
eliminate its ability to reduce polluting
emissions, seriously compromising the
engine performance, which would be
irreparably damaged. If the engine does not
work correctly, especially if it starts
irregularly or if there is a reduction of its
performance, immediately go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the converter and, as a
consequence, possible damage to the
converter and the vehicle.
76) Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.

77) It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by an Alfa Romeo Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
small servicing interventions personally on
the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts and
the necessary fluids. Do not carry out any
interventions if you don't have the necessary
experience.
78) When you need to disconnect or remove
the battery, do not close the boot. Open the
boot manually if it is locked.
79) Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are flammable
and may explode, with the risk of injuries. The
use of non-approved coolants or lubricants
may adversely affect system efficiency,
leading to expensive repairs.
80) The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid injuries
to people or damage to the system, any
coolant addition or repair that requires to
disconnect the cables must be carried out by
an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

LIFTING THE VEHICLE

If the car needs to be jacked up, go to an
Alfa Romeo Dealership which is equipped
with shop jacks or jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side skirts with the

symbols (see

illustration in fig. 160 ).

WHEELS AND TYRES

171) 172) 173)

Before embarking on a long trip, and
every two weeks, check the tyre inflation
pressure. Check the tyres when cold.

SNOW CHAINS

81)

Rear Wheel Drive and All-wheel drive
versions

0.28 inch (7 mm) snow chains can be used
on all tyres. For tyres up to 8.86 in
(225 mm) in width (205/60R16,
225/55R16, 225/50R17, 225/45R18),
it is also possible to install 0.35 in (9 mm)
chains.

Important notes

The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of each
country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
therefore their use is equivalent to that
of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the rear wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.

IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.

IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and
rear axle may adversely affect car
driveability, with the risk of losing control
of the car and resulting accidents.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE ROTATION

OF THE TYRES

The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time (6200 /
9300 miles (10000 / 15000 km)).
Inverting the tyres means moving them
to different positions on the same side of
the car (front to back and vice versa).

IMPORTANT Crossing the tyres is not
advised, so placing a tyre on a different
axle on the other side of the car is
impossible.

IMPORTANT On cars equipped with
differentiated tyres (tyre size different
between front and rear axles, ex. QV
version) rotation of any of the tyres is not
advised.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction

performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) versions
It is recommended to avoid situations
with a large difference in wear between
the front and rear tyres and to strictly
use winter tyres of the sizes given in the
“Rims and tyres provided” table.
The AWD systems and the original tyres
were developed together to ensure the
vehicle’s best performance. When
changing the tyres, it is therefore
recommended to use the same “AR”
marked tyres, to maintain the same level
of performance and component life.

WARNING

171) The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation pressure
of the tyres.
172) If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
173) Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

177

IMPORTANT

81) Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h (or the
equivalent in miles). Avoid potholes, do not
drive over steps or pavements and do not
drive long distances over roads without
snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle
and the road surface.

BODY

PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

Paintwork

82)

7)

Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Some parts of the car may be covered
with a matt paint which, in order to be
maintained intact, requires special care:
see the instructions in the warning at the
end of this paragraph.

83)

To correctly wash the vehicle, follow
these instructions:

if high pressure jets or cleaners are

used to wash the vehicle, hold at least
16 in [40 cm] away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. Build up of
water could cause damage to the car in
the long term;

to make it easier to remove any dirt

deposits in the area where the blades are
normally located it is recommended to
position the windscreen wipers vertically
(service position), for more information
consult the “Maintenance procedures”
paragraph in this chapter.

If you want to wash a car with automatic
transmission in a car wash that moves it,
you must do the following:

make sure that the car is on a flat

surface and that automatic engagement
of the parking brake when the engine is
switched off is disabled (for how to
disable it, refer to the “Electric parking
brake” section in the “Starting and
driving” chapter);

with the car stationary, the gear in N

(Neutral) and the brake pedal up: press
the start button.The car will remain in N
(Neutral) for 15 minutes, after which P
(Park) mode will be activated.

IMPORTANT

82) In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.

178

SER

VICING

AND

C

ARE

83) Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the car
only by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry
it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be used
for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not use
pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning
the front windscreen and rear window; dilute
it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.

IMPORTANT

7) Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.

INTERIOR

174) 175) 176)

Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, which could
cause oxidation of the sheet metal.

PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS

84)

Clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth (if possible made from microfibre),
and a solution of water and neutral,
non-abrasive detergent.
To clean oily or persistent stains, use
specific products free from solvents and
designed to maintain the original
appearance and colour of the
components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre
cloth, if necessary moistened with water.
The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.

WARNING

174) Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the
inside of the car. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
175) Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
176) There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure that
mats are always flat and do not interfere
with the pedals.
177) Do not use aggressive organic
substance such as: gasoline, kerosene, oil,
acetone or solvents.

IMPORTANT

84) Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.

NOTE In partnership with Pirelli, Alfa Romeo has developed a range of winter tyres specially for the Alfa Romeo Giulia. They can be
identified by the “AR” mark. The “AR” tyres ensure the best vehicle performance and safety. Available sizes are 205/60 R16 96H,
225/50 R17 94H e 225/45 R18 91H (on 18x8J rim) and 225/40 R18 95H (on 18x9J rim). Always check the registration certificate
for the tyres that can be installed (size, load index, speed symbol).

187

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE

When the tyres are warm, the inflation pressure should be +4.35 psi (+0.3 bar) in relation to the recommended figure. However,
recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the "Raising the vehicle" paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter.

(**) Loads not to be exceeded. The user is responsible for arranging goods in the luggage compartment and/or on the load platform within the maximum permitted loads.
(***) If special equipment is fitted (trailer towing equipment, etc.) the empty weight will increase and consequently the payload will decrease in relation to the maximum

permitted loads.

(***) Never exceed the maximum combined vehicle load value: the maximum towable load is only allowed if it does not exceed the maximum combined vehicle load.
