Alfa Romeo Giulia 2023 User Manual
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a high-end sports car that came out for the first time in 2016. It shows that the Italian carmaker is committed to making cars that are fun to drive, look good, and have the latest technology.
The Giulia is known for having a striking and unique outward design with smooth lines, a large front grille, and muscular proportions. The Giulia’s interior is made with care, using high-quality materials and putting an emphasis on the driver’s comfort. Performance is a big part of what makes Giulia what it is. There are several engine choices for the current Giulia lineup, such as turbocharged four-cylinder engines and a high-performance Quadrifoglio model. The Quadrifoglio is the top model.

KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob that supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk lid. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored inside the key fob.
NOTE:
- The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if the key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or another electronic device. This may result in poor performance.
- With the ignition in the ON position and the vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted battery. A low-key fob battery can be verified by referring to the instrument cluster,
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice within five seconds to unlock all the doors and the trunk lid. To lock all the doors and the trunk lid, push the lock button once. If the trunk lid is open when the lock button is pushed, the trunk lid will lock when it is closed.
The current unlock setting can be changed through the radio system menu so that the system unlocks:
- All doors on the first push of the key fob unlock button.
- The driver’s door on the first push of the key fob unlocks button.
When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn signals will flash and the illuminated entry system will be activated.
NOTE:
If one or more doors are open when the lock button is pushed, or the trunk lid is open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock again automatically if the key is left inside the passenger compartment, otherwise, the doors will stay locked.
Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/unlocking the doors and activation of the courtesy light upon unlocking the doors can be activated or deactivated through the radio system. For further information, refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual Supplement.
Trunk Lid Opening
Rapidly push the trunk lid key fob button twice to open the trunk lid. The turn signals will flash to indicate that the trunk lid has been opened.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The Outside In An Emergency
If the battery is discharged or the key fob is inoperable, you can lock or unlock the doors from the outside by inserting the blade of the emergency key, found inside the key fob, into the door handle lock cylinder and turn the emergency key as follows.
- Lock — Turn the emergency key to the right (clockwise)
- Unlock — Turn the emergency key to the left (counterclockwise)
Key Left Vehicle Feature — If Equipped
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the ON/RUN or START position, the message
“Key Fob Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in the instrument cluster display along with an interior chime. An exterior audible and visual alert will also be activated to warn the driver. The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior lights.
NOTE:
- The doors have to be open and then closed in order for the vehicle to detect a key fob; the Key Left Vehicle feature will not activate until all of the doors are closed.
- These alerts will not be activated in situations where the vehicle’s engine is left running with the key fob inside.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The recommended replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.
NOTE:
- Customers are recommended to use a battery obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin battery dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery dimensions.
- Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for further information.
- Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit board.
WARNING!
- The integrated key fob contains a coin cell battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just two hours and can lead to death.
- If you think a battery may have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
- Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The system uses a key fob, keyless push-button ignition, and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed into the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two seconds if an invalid key fob is used to start the engine.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb checks, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
The Engine Immobilizer system is not compatible with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.
