The Giulia’s display system set a new standard for easy communication and in-car entertainment with its touch controls and immersive visuals. This guide goes into detail about the 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia’s display system, showing its many functions, customization choices, and immersive driving experience, which turns every trip into a fascinating and connected adventure.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument cluster.
When one or more of the doors have been opened or closed and the ignition is in the OFF position, the instrument cluster will display the vehicle mileage for a few seconds.
RECONFIGURABLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
During operation, the instrument cluster display is divided into multiple sections that show driving data, warnings, and failure indications.
RECONFIGURABLE DISPLAY ITEMS
- External Lights (Low Beam/High Beam) Display
- Front, Side Anti-Collision Systems, Cruise Control Change Information
- Speed Limiter Display
- Driving Assistance Systems (Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Highway Assist System (HAS)) Information Display
- Active Cruise Control (ACC) / Cruise Control (CC) Information Display
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) / Speed Limiter Information Display
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) Information Display
- Time
- External Temperature
- Main Display: Vehicle Speed Display, Trip Computer Information, etc…
The screens can be selected, on rotation, by pushing the MENU selection button on the windshield wiper stalk.
Depending on the driving mode chosen using the Alfa DNA (Dynamic, Natural, and Advanced Efficiency) the screens can be graphically different. Navigation instructions and call information can be set and displayed in the Information and Entertainment System.
Home
The parameters shown on the display, for the modes: Dynamic, Normal, and Advanced Efficiency are:
- Time
- External Temperature
- Current speed (shown only if the repeat mode of the “Navigation” and “Phone” functions have not been previously acted)
- Range
In RACE mode (if equipped) the consumption indication index is not active and a sports gear shift indicator is displayed.

Trip A And B
For all driving modes (Dynamic, Natural, and Advanced Efficiency) and with the ignition device ON, the “Trip computer” can be used to display the measurements regarding the operating state of the vehicle. This function is characterized by two separate records, called “Trip A” and “Trip B” (the latter can be deactivated by the Information and Entertainment System), where the complete journeys are recorded in a reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display the values relating to:
- Distance traveled
- Average fuel consumption
- Average speed
- Active trip
- Fuel consumption indicator
To reset the values, press and hold down the button on the windshield wiper stalk.
Performance
The displayed parameters differ according to the active mode. The modes which can be selected using the Alfa DNA system are:
Natural
The screen graphically reproduces some parameters closely linked to the efficiency of the driving style, with a view to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Gear Shifts
The three central icons, on the screen, indicate the effectiveness of the driving style linked to the parameters of acceleration, deceleration, and gear shift with a view to reducing fuel consumption. The graphic bar below the icons shows current consumption and the green line represents the optimal area. The globe lights up gradually according to lower consumption.
Alternative Performance
The displayed parameters vary depending on the active mode. The modes can be selected through the “Alfa DNA™” system and are as follows:
Normal and Advanced Efficiency
The display graphically shows the values of:
- instantaneous consumption
- average fuel consumption (based on “Trip A”)
Below a certain speed value, when the accelerator pedal is not pressed or in the event of failure, dashes are displayed in place of the consumption value (“– –. –”).
Dynamic
The display graphically shows the values of:
- accelerator pedal position (expressed in percentage)
- brake pedal position (expressed in percentage)
- engine coolant temperature (H = hot/ C = cold)
Race (If Equipped)
The display graphically shows the values of:
- engine torque
- turbocharger pressure
- engine oil pressure (L = low pressure/H = high pressure)
NOTE: The engine torque and turbocharger pressure values vary according to the engine type.
Dynamic
The displayed parameters are related to vehi-cle stability, the graphs illustrate the trend of the longitudinal/lateral accelerations (G-meter information), considering gravity accelera-tion as a reference unit. Lateral acceleration peaks are also indicated.

- Distance Traveled (miles/km) display
- Fuel Consumption
- Warning Indications Display (e.g. danger of ice, open doors, ABS operation, etc.)
- Range
