2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Owner’s Manual

The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia was the first model year of a luxury sports car that looked and drove like it was made in Italy. The Giulia was made to compete with other compact executive cars on the market. It was made to look sleek and unique. It was made out of aluminum and carbon fiber, which made it lighter, which improved both its speed and how much gas it used. It came with a variety of powerful engines, including a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 and a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 in the high-performance Quadrifoglio variant. The interior was made with the driver in mind, with high-quality materials and the latest technology. This made driving a luxury and connected experience. Overall, the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia was made to impress car fans with its Italian style, thrilling speed, and modern features.

POWER SUNROOF —IF EQUIPPED

Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of two glass panels (the front one is power and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with a power sunshade in the front, as well as a manually operated sunshade in the rear.
Operation of the sunroof is only possible with the ignition cycled to the ON position. Refer to “Ignition” in this chapter for further information.
The sunroof has three preset positions:

• Fully closed.
• Comfort (intermediate opening).
• Fully open.
  Note: You cannot have the sunshade closed when the sunroof is open.

Warning!

• Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. Do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with keyless ignition in the ON mode. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are also properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body parts, or any object, to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.

Opening
To open the sunroof’s front panel, push the open/close button toward the rear of the vehicle to open to the comfort position (halfway). Pushing the button a second time will open to the fully open position.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any position by pushing the open/close button again.

Sunroof And Power Shade Buttons

1.  Power Shade Open/Close
2. Open/Close Button
3. Vent Open/Close

Closing
From the fully open position, push the open/close button toward the front of the vehicle. The roof will close completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any position by pushing the open/close button again.

Vent Opening
To bring the roof into vent position, push and release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be activated regardless of the position of the sunroof. When starting with the roof in the closed position, pushing the vent button automatically causes the sunroof to open to the vent position. If the roof is already open, the button must be held until the roof reaches the vent-opening position.
Pushing vent button again during automatic movement of the roof will stop it.

Sun Shade Movement
The front sunshade is power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward the rear of the vehicle to open the front sun shade to the three-quarter open position. Pushing the button a second time will open the sunshade completely.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward the front of the vehicle to close the sunshade.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any position by pushing the Power Shade on/off button again.
To open the rear sunshade, pull the sunshade manually toward the rear of the vehicle.

Pinch Protect Feature
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle during the closing movement. If an obstacle is detected, the system intervenes and the movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed into the opening.

Initialization Procedure
The automatic operation of the sunroof must be initialized again in case of faulty sunroof operation. It may also be necessary to initialize the sunroof after the vehicle’s battery as been disconnected and then reconnected.
Note: The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during the initialization procedure.
Proceed as follows:

1. Push the open/close button to bring the roof into the completely closed position.
2. Cycle the ignition to the STOP position and wait at least ten seconds.
3. Cycle the ignition to the AVV position. Refer to “Ignition” in this chapter for further information.
4. Hold the open/close button down for at least ten seconds. You should then hear the mechanical stop of the roof motor.
5. Within five seconds, hold the open/close button down. The roof will perform a complete automatic opening and closing cycle (to indicate that the initialization procedure has been successful). If this does not occur, the procedure must be restarted from the beginning.

HOOD

Opening
To open the hood, proceed as follows:

1. Pull the release lever located on the driver’s sidekick panel.
2. Go to the outside of the vehicle and position yourself in front of the grille.
3. Lift the hood slightly.
4. Move the under-hood latch from right to left to release the hood.
5. Raise the hood completely. The operation is assisted by the addition of two gas props that hold it in the open position.
   Note:

    

   • Do not tamper with the props and assist the hood while lifting it.
   • Use both hands to lift the hood. Before lifting, check that the windshield wiper arms are not raised from the windshield or in operation, that the vehicle is stationary and that the electric park brake is engaged.

Closing
To close, lower the hood to approximately 16 inches (40 cm) from the engine compartment then let it drop. Make sure that the hood is completely closed and fully latched. Do this by trying to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, do not try to push the hood lid down, but open it and repeat the procedure.
Note: Always check that the hood is closed correctly to prevent it from opening while the vehicle is traveling. Since the hood is equipped with a double locking system, one for each side, you must check that it is closed on both its side ends.

Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.

TRUNK

The trunk unlocking is electrically operated and is deactivated when the vehicle is in motion.

Opening
Opening From The Outside
When unlocked, the trunk lid can be opened from outside the vehicle using the exterior trunk lid release button located between the plate lights. Push the button until you hear a “click.” The trunk lid can also be opened by quickly pushing the exterior trunk lid release button on the key fob twice.
The turn signal indicators will blink and the interior lights will turn on when the trunk lid is opened. They turn off automatically when the trunk lid is closed.
The lights turn off automatically after a few minutes if the trunk lid is left open.

Opening From The Inside
When unlocked, the trunk lid can be opened from inside the vehicle using the interior trunk lid release button, located under the dashboard near the engine hood opening lever. Push the trunk lid release button until you hear a “click.”

Trunk Lid Emergency Opening
A lever can be found in the trunk lid over the lock to allow opening from the inside. Pull the lever in the direction indicated by the arrow to open the trunk lid. The lever can be seen in the dark.

Closing
Grip one of the handles and lower the trunk lid until it clicks.

Note:
It will not be possible to open the trunk lid with a key or by pushing the button in the passenger compartment when the battery is disconnected. So, always position the manual trunk lid opening strap on the trunk lid lock before disconnecting the battery. Refer to “Storing The Vehicle” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for the procedure.

Trunk Initialization
Note: If the battery is disconnected or the protection fuse blows, the trunk lid opening/closing mechanism must be re-initialized as follows:

1. Close all the doors and the trunk lid.
2. Push the lock button on the remote control.
3. Push the unlock button on the remote control.
