inadequately restrained animal may
be projected within the passenger
compartment, risking injury to the animal
itself and the other occupants of the car.
EXHAUST GAS
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.
To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide, take
the following measures:
do not keep the engine running in
closed spaces;
if, for some reason (e.g. transporting
bulky loads), it is necessary to drive with
the luggage compartment open, close all
the windows and run the climate control
fan at maximum speed. DO NOT activate
air recirculation mode;
should it be necessary to stay on
board the stationary car with engine
running, adjust the ventilation/heating
system and operate the fan in such a way
that outside air enter the passenger
compartment. Activate the maximum fan
speed.
Adequate maintenance of the exhaust
system represents the best protection
against leaks of carbon monoxide into
the passenger compartment.
Should an unusual noise from the
exhaust system or the presence
202
of exhaust gas in the passenger
compartment be identified, or if the
underbody or rear part of the car is
damaged, have the entire exhaust
system and adjoining bodywork areas
checked to identify any components
which are broken, damaged, worn or have
moved from their correct fitting position.
For these operations, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
Open welding or loose connections
may permit exhaust gas to enter the
passenger compartment.
Check the exhaust system each time the
car is raised for lubrication or oil change
operations. Replace the components
where necessary. For these operations,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
QUADRIFOGLIO VERSION
PERFORMANCE
The Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio is equipped
with an engine capable of delivering
exceptionally fast acceleration and
speed:
Peak power 510 HP at 6500 rpm.
Maximum torque of 441 lbft (61 kgm)
at 2500 rpm
Top speed: 191 mph (307 km/h).
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (from 0
to 100 km/h): 3.9 seconds.
For safe driving, it is essential,
particularly during the first days of
use, to get to know the car by driving
carefully and gradually discovering its
performance.
BRAKES
167)
The car braking system may optionally
fit four carbon-ceramic material brake
discs, one on each wheel.
In order to guarantee the maximum
braking capacity for the first use, Alfa
Romeo performs a "run-in" procedure for
discs and pads directly at the factory.
The use of carbon-ceramic material
brake discs guarantees braking features
(better deceleration/pedal load ratio,
braking distances, fading resistance)
proportional to the dynamic features
of the car in addition to considerably
decreasing the unsprung component
weight.
The materials used and the structural
features of the system could generate
anomalous noises which have absolutely
no adverse effect on correct operation
and reliability of the braking system.
Greater pressure may need to be applied
to the brake pedal the first time to keep
the same braking capacities in presence
of condensation or salt on the braking
surfaces, for example after washing or if
the car is not used for a long time.
WARNING Given the high technological
level of this system, any servicing on it
must be performed by a Dedicated Alfa
