Alfa Romeo Giulia 2020

The Alfa Romeo Giulia 2020 is a luxury compact sedan that represents the best of what Italian cars have to offer. The Giulia is both exciting and sophisticated to drive because of its sleek style, exhilarating performance, and cutting-edge technology. The Giulia has a strong and athletic look from the outside. It looks unique and is remembered because of its smooth lines, sculpted curves, and iconic triangular grille. Alfa Romeo’s commitment to quality and good looks is clear in the attention to detail in the exterior design. The Giulia’s cabin is luxury and designed with the driver in mind. Using high-end materials like leather furniture and wood trim gives a room a sophisticated feel. All of the important controls are easy to reach because the cockpit is built with ergonomics in mind. This makes driving smooth and easy. Several strong engines can be used to power the Giulia. The base model has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that is both powerful and fuel-efficient. Alfa Romeo has high-performance models, like the Quadrifoglio, for people who want more excitement. The Quadrifoglio has a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine that makes impressive horsepower and torque numbers. 

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

WINDSHIELD WIPER STALK

The windshield wiper stalk is located on the right side of the steering wheel. The windshield wipers will only operate with the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.

CAUTION!

• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. Damage to the windshield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the “park” position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.

Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotating the switch to the Low Continuous Wiper Speed position (2) activates the first (low) level continuous speed of the windshield wipers in manual mode. Rotating the switch to the High Continuous Wiper Speed position (1) activates the second (high) level continuous speed of the windshield wipers in manual mode.

Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4), activates the first, less sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function. Rotating the switch to the High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3), activates the second, more sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function. Refer to “Rain Sensor” in this section for more information on how this system functions.

Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the stalk toward the steering wheel to operate the windshield washer. Keep the stalk pulled to activate both the windshield washer jet and the windshield wiper with a single movement. The wipers and washers will continue to operate until you let go of the stalk. The windshield wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released, followed by a final stroke six seconds later to complete the cycle.

RAIN SENSOR
The Rain Sensor is located behind the interior rear-view mirror. This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers for the driver.

Rain Sensor
The feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of four settings to activate this feature. The sensor has an adjustment range that varies progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed (fast operation) with intense rain.

Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor. The activation of the rain sensor system is done by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3). The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor operation is also signaled by a stroke of the wiper (command acquired and implemented). This stroke is also executed with the windshield dry.

Deactivation
Use the wiper switch or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor, while it is active, the windshield wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, whether or not there is rain on the glass for as long as the sensor failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windshield wiper to continuous mode (1 or 2). The failure indication remains on for as long as the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and automatically adjust itself in the presence of the following conditions:

• Presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt, dirt, etc.).
• Presence of streaks of water caused by the worn window wiper blades.
• Difference between day and night.

DESCRIPTION
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control System adjusts the temperature and air distribution independently between the driver and passenger. The system maintains the set temperature inside the passenger compartment and compensates for outside temperature changes.

NOTE:
The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for optimal comfort management. The automatic setting will adjust the following to maintain comfort within the passenger compartment:

• Air temperature from the driver/front passenger side vents
• Air distribution from the driver/front passenger side vents
• Fan speed (continuous variation of the airflow)
• Compressor variations (for cooling/dehumidifying the air)
• Air recirculation

The Climate Control System can also be operated manually by using the buttons and knobs on the faceplate. Manual selections will override the automatic settings, which are stored until the AUTO button is pushed. If the system intervenes for safety reasons, the automatic setting will take control of the system.

The following operations will not deactivate the automatic (AUTO) function:

• Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
• A/C activation/deactivation
• SYNC function activation
• Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal temperature is controlled according to the set temperature.

The following can be manually set or adjusted:

• Driver/passenger air temperature
• Blower speed (continuous variation)
• Air distribution (seven positions for driver and passenger)
• A/C activation
• Front Defroster
• Air recirculation
• Rear Defroster
• System deactivation

OPERATING MODE
The Climate Control system can be activated in different ways. It is recommended to use the automatic function. Push the AUTO button and set the desired temperatures. The automatic system adjusts the temperature, quantity, and distribution of air introduced into the passenger compartment. It also controls air recirculation and the activation of the air conditioner. At any time during automatic operation, you can change the temperature, activate or deactivate the Rear Defroster, activate SYNC, activate or deactivate the air conditioner, and activate or deactivate air recirculation. The system will automatically adjust to the new settings.

CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY SETTINGS
The Climate Control settings are visible on the radio screen. The display on the radio system is a pop up window, which is activated by pushing the buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate Control system. The indicator lights located on the number of buttons and knobs indicate that the selected feature is on/off. If no operation is performed for a predetermined time, the pop-up will close on the display.

AIR TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Rotate the driver or passenger Temperature Adjustment Knob clockwise for warmer temperatures or counterclockwise for cooler temperatures. The set temperatures are shown on the radio system. Push the SYNC button to sync the driver and passenger air temperatures. Rotate the passenger Temperature Adjustment Knob to cancel the SYNC function. This will set a new passenger-side temperature. Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob fully clockwise to engage the HI (maximum heating) setting or fully counterclockwise to engage the LO (maximum cooling) setting. To deactivate these functions, rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob to the desired temperature. The rear passengers’ temperature is linked to driver-side selection.
