Starting And Driving - Alfa Romeo Giulietta Owner's Handbook Manual

STARTING THE ENGINE
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍ engage the handbrake and place the gearbox in neutral;
❍ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the
accelerator;
❍ turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment the en-
gine starts.
IMPORTANT
❍ If the engine does not start on the first attempt, turn the igni-
tion key to STOP before repeating the operation.
❍ If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel warn-
ing light Y remains on together with warning light U, turn
the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains on, try with the other keys provided with the car. If
you are still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorized Services.
❍ Never leave the ignition key on MAR when the engine is off.

STARTING AND DRIVING

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❍ engage the handbrake and place the gearbox in neutral;
❍ turn the ignition key to the MAR position: warning lights m
and Y on the instrument panel will light up;
❍ wait for the warning lights to go out;
❍ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the
accelerator;
❍ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light m goes
out. Waiting too long will waste the heating work carried out
by the glow plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
If warning light m blinks for approximately 1
minute after starting or during prolonged crank-
ing, this indicates a fault in the glow plug pre-heat-
ing system. Use the car normally if the engine starts and
go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.
It is dangerous to have the engine running indoors.
The engine takes in oxygen and discharges carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
