CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
The power unit supports have a structural connecting function between the power unit and the body.
They are designed to support the weight of the power unit and the loads from the torque transmitted by the engine.
Each support has a rubber-metal mounting which is designed to dampen the vibrations produced by the engine, thereby reducing most of the
vibrations transmitted to the body.
This is a centre of gravity type power unit support, comprising two mountings plus a reaction rod aligned on one axis for the centre of gravity thereby
producing reaction forces.
CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
The crankcase is made from ductile cast iron.
The cylinders are formed directly in the crankcase and graded in three size categories plus one oversize.
The crankshaft is supported by five main bearings.
Special channels in the crankcase walls allow the passage of coolant and lubrication oil.
The lower part of each cylinder contains a jet that sprays oil onto the piston crown to cool it and to ensure that the gudgeon pin is lubricated.

The cylinder head is one-piece and made from aluminium alloy and silicon.
Two, ductile cast iron, overhead camshafts in a camshaft housing; they are operated by a belt and gears.
The four valves per cylinder, parallel and vertical, are positioned in the valve guides and are controlled by rocker arms operated by the camshaft cams
and kept in contact with the valves through hydraulic tappets.
The valve guides are press-fitted in the cylinder head seats. A special reamer is used to produce the correct inner diameter after fitting.
Unlike cylinder heads with ante-chambers, the entire combustion process takes place in the combustion chamber on the piston.
The gasket between the cylinder head and crankcase is made from metal. No cylinder head tightening is required throughout the life of the engine.

The "lever" does not have a locked position and always returns to the center position. The selected mode is indicated by a lit LED on
the list or by a message on the instrument panel, as shown in the following figures: Display "Dynamic" mode
To activate the "All weather" position, push the lever forward (until the letter "A") and leave the lever in that position for half a second
and in any case until the relevant LED lights up or the wording "All weather enabled" appears on the instrument panel.
Machine Translated by Google
To return to "Normal" mode, follow the same procedure as described for "Dynamic" mode.
It is not possible to go directly from “Dynamic” mode to “All Weather” mode and vice versa. Always return to "Normal" mode first.
If the "Dynamic" position was selected for Key-off, the "Normal" position will automatically be switched on again with the next Key-on.
Conversely, if "All Weather" or "Normal" was enabled at Key-off, the next Key-on will remain enabled.
The "Dynamic" mode can only be switched on at speeds below 110 km/h and will in any case remain switched on above this speed.
In the event of a defect in the "DNA" system or the selector switch (lever), it will not be possible to select any position
and the message "mode not available" will appear on the instrument panel.
RPM SENSOR
Specifications
This sensor is mounted on the crankshaft at a sprocket.
The inductive sensor works on the basis of changes in a magnetic field, resulting from the passage of the teeth on the sprocket (60-2 teeth).
The control unit uses the signal from the speed sensor for:
Operation
When the teeth of the sprocket pass the sensor, the change in the magnetic field generates an inductive alternating voltage, the
frequency of which corresponds to the number of teeth passed.

Specifications
This "Hall" sensor is mounted on the cylinder head behind the camshaft pulley.
A cam is fitted to this pulley, which allows the phase sensor to recognize the phase of the motor.
The injection control unit uses the signal from the phase sensor to differentiate between TDC in the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke.
Machine Translated by Google
Operation
If a current flows through a semiconductor crystal, which is located in a normal magnetic field (field lines perpendicular to the current direction), a
potential difference is created between the poles; the so-called "Hall" voltage.
If the current remains constant, the generated voltage depends solely on the strength of the magnetic field. It is thus sufficient to vary the magnetic field
to obtain a modulated electrical signal, the frequency being determined by the periodic changes in the magnetic field. These changes are achieved by
rotating a cam on the inside of the pulley past the sensor.

The intake air temperature sensor (NTC) is integrated in the air quantum meter.
The air quantum meter cannot be taken apart.
Operation
To measure the amount of air drawn in by the engine, a heated film (membrane) is used, which is placed in a measuring channel in the airflow.
The film is kept at a constant temperature (about 120°C above the air temperature) by a heating resistor.
The film is cooled by the air flowing through the measuring channel. To keep the temperature of the film constant, it is necessary to vary the
current through the heating resistor.
This current is measured by the electronic circuit in the plug-in sensor and is proportional to the air mass flowing through it.
This offers the following
advantages: - faster response
time - greater measurement accuracy.
Due to the presence of a quartz oscillator on the printed circuit board, the air quantum meter can directly measure the air output.

The "lever" does not have a locked position and always returns to the center position. The selected mode is indicated by a lit LED on
the list or by a message on the instrument panel, as shown in the following figures: Display "Dynamic" mode
To activate the "All weather" position, push the lever forward (until the letter "A") and leave the lever in that position for half a second
and in any case until the relevant LED lights up or the wording "All weather enabled" appears on the instrument panel.

To return to "Normal" mode, follow the same procedure as described for "Dynamic" mode.
It is not possible to go directly from “Dynamic” mode to “All Weather” mode and vice versa. Always return to "Normal" mode first.
If the "Dynamic" position was selected for Key-off, the "Normal" position will automatically be switched on again with the next Key-on.
Conversely, if "All Weather" or "Normal" was enabled at Key-off, the next Key-on will remain enabled.
The "Dynamic" mode can only be switched on at speeds below 110 km/h and will in any case remain switched on above this speed.
In the event of a defect in the "DNA" system or the selector switch (lever), it will not be possible to select any position
and the message "mode not available" will appear on the instrument panel.
RPM SENSOR

This sensor is mounted on the crankshaft at a sprocket.
The inductive sensor works on the basis of changes in a magnetic field, resulting from the passage of the teeth on the sprocket (60-2 teeth).
The control unit uses the signal from the speed sensor for:
Operation
When the teeth of the sprocket pass the sensor, the change in the magnetic field generates an inductive alternating voltage, the

Operation
If a current flows through a semiconductor crystal, which is located in a normal magnetic field (field lines perpendicular to the current direction), a
potential difference is created between the poles; the so-called "Hall" voltage.
If the current remains constant, the generated voltage depends solely on the strength of the magnetic field. It is thus sufficient to vary the magnetic field
to obtain a modulated electrical signal, the frequency being determined by the periodic changes in the magnetic field. These changes are achieved by
rotating a cam on the inside of the pulley past the sensor.

Operation
To measure the amount of air drawn in by the engine, a heated film (membrane) is used, which is placed in a measuring channel in the airflow.
The film is kept at a constant temperature (about 120°C above the air temperature) by a heating resistor.
The film is cooled by the air flowing through the measuring channel. To keep the temperature of the film constant, it is necessary to vary the
current through the heating resistor.
This current is measured by the electronic circuit in the plug-in sensor and is proportional to the air mass flowing through it.
This offers the following
advantages: - faster response
time - greater measurement accuracy.
Due to the presence of a quartz oscillator on the printed circuit board, the air quantum meter can directly measure the air output.

The operation of the DPF system is managed by the engine control unit by means of suitable strategies.
In addition to the actual filter the DPF system comprises an exhaust gas temperature sensor and a differential pressure sensor.
The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure of the exhaust gases upstream and downstream of the filter, by means of special pipes, signalling the gradual
accumulation of particulate to the control unit.
The particulate accumulation process and the relative increase in the pressure of the exhaust gases inside the filter depends on the engine load, the weight of the vehicle and
the engine capacity and power.
Therefore the particulate needs to be removed on a regular basis, regenerating the filter following a procedure that makes use of multiple fuel injections to increase the
temperature of the exhaust gases (about 600 °C) and burn the particulate. The regeneration procedure is controlled by the injection control unit which acts: on fuel
metering (up to 5 fuel injections in the same engine cycle per cylinder) and on air control (E.G.R. and turbo pressure).
The regeneration phase takes place over a few minutes and does not affect the continuity of the torque supplied by the engine in terms of normal operation.
When the driving profile does not permit automatic regeneration, after several failed attempts, the injection control unit activates a "particle filter blocked" warning light
in the control panel.
It is therefore advisable to keep the vehicle running until the "particle filter blocked" warning light goes out.
If the "particle filter blocked" warning light remains on, it is vital to carry out the forced regeneration using the diagnostic equipment Examiner.
If the condition of the particulate filter deteriorates (the accumulation threshold of 250% is exceeded) as well as the "particle filter blocked" warning light, the EOBD warning
light will also come on and it is therefore vital to carry out the forced regeneration using Examiner.
It is possible during the regeneration stage that some of the particulate will pollute the engine oil and therefore it must be changed in advance of the programmed interval.
This is signalled by the "minimum engine oil pressure" warning light flashing.
This signalling is controlled by the injection control unit depending on the: -
number of regenerations - kilometres travelled - number of engine starting cycles
- number of cold starts - average value of engine oil temperature
- etc.
After changing the engine oil earlier than planned, connect the Examiner to reset the Service function.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Features
The catalytic converter is a post-treatment device for oxidizing the CO, HC and particulate, converting them into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O).
The catalytic converter consists of a ceramic, honeycomb structure (1) with cells impregnated with platinum (2), which catalyzes the oxidation reactions.
Operation
The exhaust gases passing through the cells heat the catalyser, triggering the conversion of pollutants into inert compounds.
The oxidising chemical reaction of the CO, HC and particulate is effective at temperatures of between 200 and 350°C.
Actually, above 350°C the sulphur contained in the diesel fuel starts to oxidise, producing sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide.
LAMBDA SENSOR
This sensor is used to measure the oxygen content and the Lambda value (ratio between quantity of intake air and theoretical quantity of air
required for complete combustion of fuel injected) in automotive engine exhaust gases.
When the mass of oxygen present coincides with the amount required to burn all the fuel, the mixture is known as stoichiometric and the ratio is 14.6.In
this case the Lambda is at the unit value.
The Lambda can be expressed as the ratio between the quantity of intake air and the quantity of air required for the combustion of the fuel injected.
The Lambda values range from 0.65 (rich mixture, shortage of oxygen) to infinite (percentage of oxygen equal to percentage present in the air 20.95% approx).
The value measured by the Lambda sensor is compared with the Lambda value calculated by the engine management control unit and, if
necessary, modifications are made to the map for the injectors and the air flow rate meter in order to maintain the operation of the engine and the
harmful emissions within legal limits; its operation is therefore to monitor the engine over a period of time.
The sensor works by comparing the concentration of oxygen in the reference cell, housed inside the sensor, with the combustion gas flowing
inside the comparison cell next to the reference cell. Depending on the resulting imbalance, the engine management control unit regulates a
current signal (lp) that rebalances the oxygen content in the comparison cell through an electrochemical action. The value of lp is proportional to the
Lambda value measured according to the graph illustrated below.

The sensitive element is the planar type, the sensor consists of three layers of zirconium oxide and its particular shape allows the sensor to be very compact with low

The operation of the DPF system is controlled by the injection control unit using associated control strategies.
In addition to a collecting filter, the DPF system consists of an exhaust gas temperature sensor and a differential pressure sensor.
The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure of the exhaust gas in front of and behind the filter via pipes and provides the control unit with information
about the amount of collected soot particles.
The process of collecting the particulates and the associated increase in the exhaust gas pressure in the filter depend on the engine load, the weight of the car, the cylinder
capacity and the engine power.
Therefore, the particulate matter must occasionally be removed by regeneration of the filter using a procedure that uses additional injections to raise the exhaust gas
temperature (about 600°C) so that the particulate matter is combusted. The regeneration procedure is controlled by the injection control unit through: dosing of the fuel
(up to five injections per engine cycle per cylinder) and regulation of the air supply (EGR and turbo pressure).
The regeneration phase lasts for a few minutes and has no influence on the delivered engine torque compared to the normal situation.
If the driving style prevents automatic regeneration, the injection control unit switches on the "clogged soot filter" warning light on the instrument panel after several
unsuccessful attempts.
It is recommended to continue driving the car for a short time until the "clogged soot filter" warning light goes out.
If the light "clogged soot filter" nevertheless remains lit, then regeneration must be forced with the aid of diagnostic equipment. Examiner. the EOBD light also
lights up and then the regeneration must definitely be done with the Examiner. During the regeneration, part of the particles can contaminate the engine oil; the engine oil
must then be changed earlier than the normal interval of the maintenance schedule.
This is indicated by a flashing "engine oil pressure too low" warning light.
This message is provided by the injection control unit based on: - number of
regenerations, - kilometers traveled - number of engine starts, - number of
cold starts, - average engine oil temperature,
- etc.
After the early oil change relative to the normal maintenance interval, the "Service" function must be reset using the Examiner.

CATALYST
Specifications
The oxidation catalyst is a system that is used to subsequently convert the CO, the HC and the particles in the exhaust gas into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O).
The catalyst has a honeycomb ceramic core (1) coated with a thin platinum layer (2), which has a catalytic effect.
Operation
When the exhaust gas is passed through the openings in the interior, the catalytic converter accelerates the decomposition process of the harmful gases.
The oxidation of the HC, CO and the particles takes place in the catalyst at temperatures between 200°C and 350°C.
However, above 350°C, the sulfur in the diesel fuel begins to decompose, creating sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.
LAMBDA SENSOR
This sensor is used to measure the oxygen content and the lambda value (ratio between the amount of air intake and the theoretical amount of air required for complete
combustion of the injected fuel) in the exhaust gas of engines.
If the amount of oxygen present corresponds to the amount needed to burn all the fuel, then a stoichiometric mixture is called with the ratio 1 : 14.6. In this case lambda is by
convention 1.
Lambda is the ratio between the amount of air drawn in and the amount of air required to burn the injected fuel.
The lambda value ranges from 0.65 (rich mixture, too little oxygen) to infinity (oxygen percentage equal to the percentage in the air, about 20.95%).
The value measured by the lambda probe is compared with the lambda value calculated by the engine control unit; if necessary, the characteristics of the injectors and the air
flow meter are adjusted so that the operation of the engine and the emission of harmful substances remain within the legal standards; this ensures that the motor is monitored
throughout its life.
The operation of the probe is based on the comparison of the oxygen concentration in the reference cell in the probe with the exhaust gas flowing through the adjacent measuring
cell. Based on the resulting imbalance, the injection control unit supplies a current signal (lp) that electrochemically restores the equilibrium of the oxygen percentage in the
measuring cell. The "lp" value is proportional to the measured lambda value as shown in the graph below.

191 - Giulietta 2.0 JTDM INTRODUCTION - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM (E.G.R.)
INTRODUCTION
The E.G.R. system is used on engines to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
The mass of recirculated gases basically comprises air, which has been part of the combustion process and combustion products (carbon dioxide, water vapour,
etc.).
These last two types of chemicals have a greater thermal capacity than the air they replace and therefore the average thermal capacity of the charge will be
higher.
With the development of rules concerning harmful emissions, E.G.R. technology has undergone a notable development: there has been a move from the simple
on-off valve to the gas modulating valve and then the introduction of the heat exchanger to lower the temperature of the recirculated gases.
The use of a heat exchanger has been necessary because the recirculated gases, finding themselves at a higher temperature than the intake air, increase
the temperature of the charge entering the combustion chamber and decreasing volumetric efficiency.
Directing the exhaust gases into a heat exchanger lowers the temperature thereby allowing a greater flow rate and a lower charge temperature with obvious
benefits in terms of restricting NOx emissions.
E.G.R. MODULE
The new E.G.R. module fitted on this engine, in addition to having a new modulating valve, makes it possible to choose whether to cool the exhaust gases or
exclude the cooling process by means of a by-pass.
This operation, managed entirely by the engine management control unit, makes it possible to ensure optimum operation of the E.G.R. in terms of nitrogen oxide
reduction without adversely affecting hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.

allows improved control and diagnosis of operation - less dispersion of performance with
consequent calibration consolidation.
E.G.R. system operating strategies
The control of the air intake mass and consequently the quantity of exhaust gases recirculated is determined by a theoretical map dependent on the
engine speed and torque; later on the value is corrected taking into account ambient pressure, intake air temperature and engine temperature.
The quantity of gas to be recirculated is determined by the engine management control unit in two
stages: - closed loop check between intake air and target air; - closed loop check between electrical
control and effective movement of E.G.R. valve stem During the first stage the flow rate measured by
the flow meter is subtracted from the target air flow rate. The percentage opening of the E.G.R. valve required for implementing the desired gas flow rate
is determined through a map in the engine management control unit.
During the second stage a further map is used to transform the required position into the actual activation command depending on the engine speed and
also the effective battery voltage.

When it is supplied the vacuum reaches the actuator, whilst if there is no supply the ambient pressure acts on the actuator and it is in the rest position.
GENERAL
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from engines.
The recirculated gas consists mainly of air that has been involved in the combustion process and the combustion products (carbon dioxide,
water vapor, etc.).
The last two chemicals mentioned have a greater thermal absorption capacity than the air replaced by the substances, so the average thermal
capacity of the filling will be much higher.
Simultaneously with the development of the emission requirements, the EGR technology has also undergone major development: from the simple on/
off valve to the modulator valve for the gas; in addition, the cooler has been introduced to lower the temperature of the recycled gas.
The cooler is necessary because the recirculated gas has a much higher temperature than the intake air; this raises the temperature of the mixture
to the combustion chamber and lowers the volumetric efficiency.
Passing the combustion gases through a cooler lowers the temperature, resulting in a greater charge and a lower mixture temperature; this
contributes positively to limiting the amount of NOx in the exhaust gas.
EGR-MODULE
The new EGR module used on this engine not only features a new modulator valve, but also allows a choice between cooling or, by switching on a
by-pass, no cooling of the exhaust gas.
This function, performed entirely by the injection control unit, allows the EGR to be optimized in terms of the reduction of nitrogen oxides,
without negatively affecting the emissions of hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO).

The advantages of the
new valve are: -
greater actuation
force and therefore less sensitive for
blocking - single plate and therefore less sensitive to leakage -
presence of a position sensor for the valve plate, allowing better
control and diagnosis of the operation - less loss of performance so that the basic setting is maintained longer.
The amount of recirculated gas is determined by the engine control unit in two stages: -
closed loop comparison between the intake air and the amount of air required; - "closed
loop" comparison between the electrical command and the actual displacement of the EGR valve stem. Using a map in
the engine control unit, the opening (percentage) of the EGR valve is determined, which is necessary to achieve the desired gas output.
In the second phase, another map, also dependent on the speed, is used to convert the requested position into the actual operating command,
also taking into account the battery voltage.
The operation of the EGR is shown in the following diagram.

compared to a traditional hydraulically actuated clutch. The clutch master cylinder, in particular, has seen a significant improvement over
commonly used components.

Csc System
The CSC system is called coaxial because the actuator consists of a round aluminum working cylinder that is placed around the input shaft
between the gearbox and the clutch.
The advantages of the CSC system over the traditional system are the lack of mechanical joints and friction surfaces, which increases the
operation and reliability and requires no maintenance.
The system has the following features:
- constant adjustment of clutch pedal height; -
required pedal pressure constant throughout the
service life; - no more problems due to clutch pedal
hooking; - reduction of noise and vibration transmitted through the clutch pedal by the vibration damper in the supply line to the slave cylinder.
The line is connected to the actuator via a quick coupling with built-in bleed nipple.
The elimination of the traditional clutch actuation, the addition of a clutch master cylinder with a plastic housing and piston, and the use of
plastic in the construction of the pedal assembly has achieved significant reduction in noise and overall weight of the system.

Depending on the engine version, the car is available with the following gearboxes:
- 1.4 16v TJet 155 hp and 1.6 JTD 16v with M32 6-speed gearbox - 1.4 16v TJet 120
hp with C510.5 5-speed gearbox - 1.4 16v with C514.6 6- gearbox - 1.3 Multijet with
M20 6 speed gearbox.
To improve operation and shifting, the car is equipped with a two-cable gearshift mechanism, which: -
reduces transmission of vibrations - provides more precise operation - and significantly lowers noise levels.
It is a new type of switching mechanism, which is technologically ahead of its time due to the abundant use of technopolymers with very
good properties. These substances are used depending on the different resistance characteristics, the weight and the possibility of self-lubrication.

receives the drive from the crankshaft; when a gear
is selected, the torque is transferred, through the
corresponding gear pair, to the layshaft and, from
there, to the fixed idler connected to the differential.
In first speed the power enters the gearbox through the main shaft and is transmitted, through the fixed drive gear, to the driven gear for the first
speed fitted in neutral on the lower layshaft.
The activation of the synchroniser (for first and second speed) makes the toothed wheel form one piece with the layshaft and, by means of the fixed
idler wheel, with the differential.
By moving the synchroniser in the opposite direction, the driven gear of the second speed forms one piece with the layshaft; the second speed is
produced in this way.
The power enters the gearbox through the main shaft and, by means of the fixed drive gear, is transferred to the driven gear, fitted on the upper
layshaft; the activation of the synchroniser (for third and fourth speed) makes it possible to transfer the power to the toothed wheel for the fixed idler,
also forming one piece with the differential ring gear, like that on the lower shaft.
Moving the synchroniser in the opposite direction produces the engagement of the fourth speed.
The power enters the gearbox through the main shaft and, by means of the fixed drive gear, is transferred to the driven gear, fitted on the lower
layshaft; the activation of the synchroniser (for fifth and sixth speed) makes it possible to transfer the power to the toothed wheel for the fixed idler,
also forming one piece with the differential ring gear.
To engage sixth speed, the same synchroniser is activated in the opposite direction.
Reverse engagement
The power entering the gearbox is transferred from the main shaft to the idler wheel fitted on a suitable mounting integral with the gearbox casing; it
transfers power to the reverse wheel fitted on the upper layshaft; at the same time, this allows the reversal of the movement.
The synchroniser for reverse gear makes the wheel form one piece with the upper layshaft, transferring the power to the differential.
Toothed wheels
MATERIALS AND MACHINING: the toothed wheels are subjected to variable loads over time which produce stresses and fatigue; for these reasons
nickel chrome steel alloys are used which afford good mechanical resistance.
After machining, the toothed wheels firstly undergo a finishing process (grinding and fettling) and afterwards a heat treatment that improves their
resistance properties to fatigue and wear (binding and tempering).
SPECIFICATIONS: the toothed wheels used have helical teeth.
This allows the transmission of higher torques compared with those of the same size with straight teeth; in addition, toothed wheels with helical
teeth operate more quietly.
Toothing with a high covering factor keeps more teeth meshed, with the advantage of smooth transmission.

Shafts
Main shaft
The gearbox main shaft has all toothed wheels integrated: in particular the toothed wheels for first, second and reverse are realised directly on the shaft
through mechanical machining processes.
The third, fifth and fourth/sixth speeds are fitted by means of splining on the shaft itself and are an interference fit with the shaft.
The main shaft is supported at both ends by two tapered roller bearings.

Upper layshaft
The upper layshaft supports the toothed wheels that produce third and fourth forward speeds and reverse; these toothed wheels are all fitted in neutral on
needle bearings.
There are two synchronisers: one to form one piece between the toothed wheels for third or fourth speed with the shaft, the other for reverse.
The fourth speed and reverse synchronisers are two-cone type, while the synchroniser for third speed is three-cone type.
On the front end of the shaft there is a toothed wheel that transfers the power to the differential ring gear.
The upper layshaft is supported at both ends by two tapered roller bearings.

Synchronizsers
The C635 gearbox uses two synchroniser
types: - two-cone for the fourth, fifth and sixth speed and
reverse - three-cone for the first, second and third speed.
Two-cone synchronisers are formed by a set of two tapered clutches, that distribute the load that derives from the synchronisation of the toothed wheel and
shaft speeds onto two friction surfaces.
In this way, gear engagement is easier.
Three-cone synchronisers are formed by a set of three tapered clutches, that distribute the load that derives from the synchronisation of the toothed wheel
and shaft speeds onto three friction surfaces.
In this way, the gear engagement movement is easier because it is used to improve continuity and progressiveness of torque transfer among the shafts.

The gear selection/engagement system is connected to the selector dog which, in its turn, operates the sliding rods housing the synchroniser sleeve control forks.
A safety device prevents unintentional reverse engagement.
Each synchroniser, like the rods, is used to engage two speeds.
The selector dog is kept in the engagement position by the action of spring-loaded balls which engage in the relevant indentations on the synchroniser
sleeve; a further indentation is used to keep the dog in neutral position.

The new internal shifting mechanism has 4 levels of selection with a bearing centering for the middle gears, which reduces lag and also lowers
insertion force.
Due to the 4 selection levels of the shifting mechanism, the gear lever knob is equipped with a reverse locking slide mechanism, preventing
accidental engagement.
Thanks to the Bowden cable solution:
- vibrations from the engine are no longer transmitted to the gear lever; -
the shifting comfort is improved due to the smaller mounting clearance;
- the components and accessories can be better placed in the engine compartment, due to the greater freedom of installation of the cables compared to rods
One cable is for gear selection and the other for gear engagement.

The drive shafts have CV joints on the wheel side and tripoid joints on the gearbox side.
An intermediate shaft transfers the engine torque to the right-hand drive shaft which is equal to the left-hand drive shaft.
Thanks to this construction, the engine torque is transferred completely symmetrically to both wheels.
This prevents a long drive shaft from bending under the influence of engine torque, which can cause vibrations in the dynamic wheel geometry.

The vacuum braking system consists of a vacuum pump, which supplies (with engine running) the necessary vacuum for the operation of the brake
servo, to which it is connected by a pipe, and of the control pump, also known as the master cylinder, fitted on the brake servo.
The master cylinder is connected by two pipes, each of which supplies a section of the crossover circuit, to the ABS/VDC electro-hydraulic control unit.
See descriptions 3350E VEHICLE DIRECTION CONTROL SYSTEM VDC/ESP
OPERATION
The system offers smoother, more powerful braking through the action of the brake servo.
The brake servo is a pneumatic device that powers the brake pedal action on the pump and enables better braking modulation by using the vacuum
effect (with the engine running).
If there is a problem with the vacuum system (or when the engine is not running), the operation of the braking system is still guaranteed because the
connection between the pedal and the brake pump remains operational.
In these emergency conditions, the action on the brake pedal becomes very tiresome and the braking system does not maintain the same
responsiveness. It is therefore advisable, in these conditions, to drive very carefully to the nearest authorised workshop to have the system checked

The main functions that the system is capable of performing, in addition to those of the ABS, are as follows:
DST: this function integrates the electric steering with VDC functions.
During specific manoeuvres, the VDC orders the steering system to implement a steering torque (limited to 3 Nm max.) to invite the driver to
perform the manoeuvre in the best way. The function involves the co-ordinated action of brakes and steering with the aim of increasing the handling
and safety level of the entire vehicle. The steering imposes an additional torque increment on the steering wheel, calculated by algorithms within the NFR.
Due to the combined action of the steering with the ABS, a counter-steering action may be applied to the steering wheel it order to compensate for
drift caused by the braking action. Stopping distances may be reduced by as much as 10% through this action.

Manoeuvres with high Ay (lateral acceleration) and low dynamics: determination of limit feeling (increase in resistant torque).
The LTF (linear torque function) built into the DST assures the driver a sensation of increasing torque resistance (steering feel) to ensure greater safety and
confidence in vehicle response as the grip limit approaches.
Oversteer compensation: notifies the driver as the stability limit approaches (predictive) and suggests the correct manoeuvre during vehicle stabilisation.
Although the driver remains responsible for control of the vehicle, they are nevertheless advised to tackle more demanding manoeuvres through
dynamic modification of the steering power assisatnce to render the action of the VDC less probable and intrusive.
Operation
Raising the handbrake lever pulls a flexible cable connected to a rocker. The movement of the rocker, which has the function of balancing and
distributing the traction force between the two flexible rods secured to it, controls the action of the levers on the rear brakes, thereby implementing

191 - Giulietta 2.0 JTDM GENERAL - HOUSE AND ACCESSORIES OF AIR CONDITIONING
GENERAL
The car-mounted climate control system is a system that allows to change the characteristics of the air (temperature and humidity) to the interior. This
demists the windows and prevents pollutants from polluting the air in the passenger compartment.
Air conditioning by definition contributes to comfort and improves the physiological well-being of the passengers.
Working principle
The purpose of a chiller is to absorb heat from the environment. For this purpose, an air conditioner uses certain liquids (refrigerants) that become colder
(temperature reduction) and change their state of aggregation (from liquid to gas), when they can expand under high pressure. This allows them to absorb
heat from the environment. As the temperature increases, the pressure also increases, causing the state of aggregation to change again (from gas to liquid);
these are called condensing.
The first problem is to liquefy the gas, ie the temperature must be lower than the vaporization temperature (boiling point). For the refrigerant R134a this
is -26°C at atmospheric pressure.
Since this must be achieved at ambient temperature, which can also be elevated in a car (in the engine compartment), the boiling point of the gas must
be increased so that it remains liquid until it has to expand for the desired cooling effect.
To raise the boiling point, the pressure must be increased and the temperature reduced at the same time.
For this, a certain power must be added to the system. This power is provided by the compressor driven by the engine.
So we can summarize the cooling process of the air conditioning in a car as follows.
The gaseous refrigerant R134a is drawn in by the compressor at a pressure between 0.5 and 2 bar and brought under a pressure of 10 to 17 bar. At these
pressures the boiling point becomes about 60°C.
The gaseous refrigerant is heated to 80-100°C in the compression stage, after which it reaches the condenser. By cooling the condenser with air (either by
the wind or by the electric fan), the refrigerant reaches the condensing point and changes into liquid form at high pressure.
After this, the filter is passed, which has three functions: to remove impurities, absorb moisture from the circuit and serve as a storage tank (accumulator)
for coolant.
The refrigerant then reaches the expansion valve directly in front of the evaporator, which has a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres (1.52 bar). At this pressure, the
liquid/saturated vapor of the refrigerant is in equilibrium at a temperature of about -7°C. The air that simultaneously flows through the evaporator (driven by
a fan) has a much higher temperature than the refrigerant in the evaporator. This causes the air to heat up the refrigerant which boils and evaporates
completely, extracting heat from the air. Some of the moisture from the cooled air condenses on the fins of the evaporator and forms droplets that are
discharged to the outside of the car through a container.
The air thus cooled and dried is then led to the interior. After the evaporator, the refrigerant is again sucked in by the compressor and starts, then a
new cycle can begin.
The route of the refrigerant is as follows: - In
the compressor, the refrigerant from the evaporator is gaseous (temp. -5, -7°C, pressure 0.5 - 2 bar). Compression phase, in which the gaseous
refrigerant heats up (temp. 80, -100 °C, pressure 10 17 bar).
- Condenser - Compression phase: the refrigerant gives off heat to the atmosphere, cools and becomes liquid (temp. 40, 60°C, pressure 10 17 bar).
Machine Translated by Google
- Expansion valve - Expansion phase: the pressure of the refrigerant decreases (0.5 - 2 bar, even 3 bar) and becomes a gas/liquid mixture; the
temperature is low, characteristic of air conditioning.
- Evaporator - Evaporation phase: the refrigerant becomes completely gaseous, because the warm air from the electric fan has a much higher
temperature than the refrigerant, causing it to boil, evaporate completely and give off heat. The temperature is low (pressure 0.5 - 2 bar).
System type
This vehicle is equipped with several interior climate controls: - manual
climate control - automatic, split (two-zone) climate control Manual
climate control: The user controls certain temperature, air distribution
and airflow settings and these remain until the user selects the setting changes.
Automatic, separate (two-zone) climate control: the user has the option to set the parameters and allow the system to operate automatically. The
user retains the option to manually operate the system if they wish.
This car's automatic climate control system has dual controls for the driver and front passenger, which allow the parameters of air temperature
and air distribution (the fan speed cannot be controlled separately) to be controlled with a degree of independence.
1 - Rotary knob for setting the temperature (mixing hot and cold air)
2 - Interior air distribution selector knob
3 - Fan Speed Dial
4 - Push button switch on/off rear window and exterior mirror heating
5 - Push-button switch on/off interior air recirculation
6 - Push-button switch on/off A/C compressor
Operation
With the manual climate control, the user can control the temperature and the air supply to the interior using the rotary knobs and buttons.
The following functions can be changed manually: -
Temperature - Air distribution in 5 stages - Fan speed -
Compressor activation - Recirculation.
The commands of the air temperature and air distribution buttons are transmitted to the stove housing via Bowden cables.
The recirculation is controlled by an electric motor.
The compressor can only switch on when the blower is running.
Controls
All buttons, except the control switches, are two-position switches (ON/OFF), including the recirculation button.
The image below shows the control panel of the climate control unit.

Control strategy
The climate control unit can achieve and maintain the desired comfort in the two parts of the interior by monitoring and regulating the following parameters
and functions: - Air temperature from the air vents on the driver and passenger side; - Fan speed (stepless); - Air distribution; - Compressor activation; -
Recirculation.
The air conditioner can maintain a "common temperature". This temperature is related to the perceived temperature and is defined by parameters
such as humidity, air volume in the interior, average temperature, etc.
If the driver sets a common temperature, the system changes all variables to create the desired wind chill temperature; as a result, the temperature in the
passenger compartment may deviate from the temperature shown on the display.
The following functions can be changed manually: - Driver /
passenger side temperature - Fan speed - Air distribution
in 7 positions - Compressor - Demist/defrost
- Recirculation.
The manual choices always have a higher priority than the automatic ones and are saved until the user chooses the automatic control again.
The manual setting does not affect the other automatically controlled functions; in particular, the temperature remains automatically controlled when the
system is in operation.
Every time the system is turned on, the settings saved during the shutdown are restored, except for:
Machine Translated by Google
When the rotary knob is turned to the desired area (driver 1 or passenger 2 rotary knob), the temperature will increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise).
With key-off, the set temperatures are saved; these temperatures will be reset at the next key-on.
The setting can be changed in steps of 0.5 °C with the rotary knob; a complete turn of the knob takes 34 steps.
The temperature range that can be set is from 16°C to 32°C. Below 16 °C, the set value indicates "LOW"; above 32°C, the set value indicates “HI”.
The difference between the set temperature on the left and right may be 7 °C.
HI or maximum heating (indicated on the display in the area E1 and E2) is achieved by a common T. corresponding to a set temperature above
32°C.
When set by the user (driver 1 or passenger 2) HI or maximum heating, the FULL AUTO symbol (A on the display) goes off and MONO (B on the
display) appears, controlling the following parameters: - Recirculation and compressor remain unchanged; - The mixing valves in position
"completely warm"; - Distributor valve on FLOOR and associated LED lights up; - Maximum air flow (if the coolant temperature is high enough).
If LO or maximum cooling is set (shown on fields E1 and E2 on the display), the FULL AUTO symbol will go out and MONO will appear, carrying out the
following actions: - Compressor activation permission; - Mixing valves in the "completely cold" position; - Distributor valve on VENT and associated
LED lights up; - Maximum air output; - Recirculation remains as chosen by the user.
The flashing display is started when the compressor is switched off at a LO setting and the recirculation is switched off (forced open).
Auto key
When this button (1A) is pressed, FULL AUTO appears and the system controls fully automatically:
- Air distribution; - Supercharger speed; - Compressor; - Recirculation.
Only FULL goes out if at least one setting is changed manually (distribution, fan speed, recirculation, compressor) In this situation, FULL AUTO
only appears when the AUTO button is pressed again.
If the compressor is also turned off (LED with ice crystal symbol off), the system will no longer be able to control or maintain one or both set
temperatures. Under these conditions, the temperature displayed on the climate control unit display will flash.
The air distribution has 7 positions. If the system works automatically, the selected air distribution is indicated by the lighting of the corresponding
LED on the buttons.
The 7 positions can also be set manually using the buttons (3, 4, 5). The combinations are indicated below.
MAIN DISTRIBUTIONS: -
DEF (hot/cold or mixed air for demisting)
- VENT (hot/cold or mixed ventilation air from central grilles)
- FLOOR (hot/cold or mixed air to legrooms)

The air output can be adjusted manually in 12 steps (excluding the off position). This is indicated by a bar graph (G on the display) with 12
dashes.
To increase the air flow to the passenger compartment, the button with the "large fan" must be pressed. To decrease the yield, the button with
the "small fan" must be pressed.
In automatic mode, the speed is continuously regulated by the control unit and the air flow rate is indicated by a corresponding number of
dashes on the display.
A manual setting disables the FULL AUTO control.
If automatic operation is enabled, KEY-ON sets the air flow rate to the first bar (minimum flow rate) until the engine is started.
When the compressor is turned off, the blower can be manually adjusted until no more dashes appear on the display and the flow is zero.
When the compressor is switched on and the engine has started, the flow cannot be manually set below the flow indicated by 1 dash.
This prevents icing of the compressor.
Mono operation
The MAX-DEF procedure regulates the air flow and distribution to ensure that the windows are demisted as quickly as possible (also works with the
engine switched off, but with minimum flow).
The function is enabled for 3 minutes from the moment the coolant temperature exceeds a certain value.
When the MAX-DEF key is pressed, the system performs the following functions: -
MAX-DEF led lit (on key); - Settings and operation selected before the MAX-DEF
mode was selected are saved - The LEDs/labels of the FULL AUTO, AQS and RECIRCULATION
functions turn off; - The LEDs DEF air distribution, compressor on, MONO, recirculation open
and heated rear window light up; - Maximum heating (HI) is shown on both side indicators; - Ventilation is shown on
the display.
During the MAX DEF function, the air flow (larger/smaller) can be changed as desired and the rear window defogger can be turned off.
It is not possible to: -
Change the temperature setting (driver/passenger).
- Change the air distribution.
- Change the recirculation setting.
The MAX-DEF function can be turned off by pressing one of the following keys (Recirculation, Compressor operation, Auto, Mono, MAX-DEF), after which the
settings prior to the MAX-DEF selection are started supplemented by the function of the pressed key.
The MAX-DEF function takes precedence over the control
strategies: - LO (maximum cooling).
- HI (maximum heating).
These control strategies are interrupted when the MAX-DEF function is enabled.
The rear window heating can be switched on both with the respective button and via the Max-Def function.
Operation is indicated with a lit LED. The rear window heating can only be switched on with Key-on.
The REAR WINDOW HEATING function is not saved at key-off.
After power on, the various parameters are controlled based on the automatic or manual setting that was chosen before power off.
All manual changes that were made before the engine was turned off are saved and are retained for the next start.
If the MAX-DEF function was enabled when the ignition was switched off, then when the ignition was switched on, the setting that was active before the
MAX-DEF function was selected will be selected.

The demister actuator controls the rotation of the windshield and side windows diverter valve.
The motor is supplied with 12V and by reversing the polarity the direction of rotation can be changed. A potentiometer measures the position and

There are four temperature sensors on the air duct/distributor that supply a signal to the climate control unit that is dependent on air temperature at the right
and left air outlets. Two sensors are located at the FLOOR vents and two in the center vents in the dash.
In addition, the system includes an interior temperature sensor (located in the climate control unit) and the exterior temperature sensor (located on the
underside of the right-hand door mirror).
The air quality sensor is an electronic system whose task is to send a control signal that closes the recirculation valve in the distribution unit, if the
pollution of the air exceeds a certain threshold; this prevents polluted air from entering the interior; the sensor is located in the outside air supply of the
distribution unit.
With a special sensitive element, the presence in the air to the interior of certain pollutants (such as CO and NOx) can be detected.
The sensitivity of the system is optimal for potentially hazardous polluting gases according to the MAK index (maximum concentration of harmful gases).

- To evaporator The
functions of this valve are: - To separate the
high pressure from the low pressure circuit; - Expand the
refrigerant (transition from liquid to gas phase); - Control the
evaporation process (yield); - Control evaporating temperature; -
Protect compressor from liquid refrigerant.
The thermostatic expansion valve is mounted between the supply and return connections of the evaporator and has the task of controlling the refrigerant
flow and the expansion (pressure drop) of the refrigerant R134a before the refrigerant flows into the evaporator.
The diameter of the refrigerant passageway in the expansion valve is automatically controlled by a sensor element that reacts to the refrigerant
temperature. This controls the extent to which expansion occurs, as it controls the cross-section of a duct by means of a spring actuating a valve.
If the temperature rises after the evaporator, the sensor element opens the valve further, increasing the amount of refrigerant to the evaporator.
If the temperature drops, the cross-section of the conduit opening is reduced and the amount of refrigerant is limited.
The adjusting screw is adjusted during production and must NOT be turned; to prevent loss of system efficiency.
The expansion valve can be reached directly from the engine compartment, see image below:
A - Expansion
valve The refrigerant passes through the expansion valve
twice in this type: - At the bottom of the moisture filter (4) to the evaporator (7); the overheating protection spring (5) and the modulating element
are accommodated in this channel. The modulating element consists of a ball (6) and a calibrated opening.
- At the top of the evaporator (1) to the compressor (3); this channel houses the temperature sensor (2), which is connected to the upper part of the
diaphragm and ball (6).
The flow is controlled by moving the ball (6). This ball is connected via shaft (9) to temperature sensor (2).
The movement of the ball (6) is counteracted by reaction spring (5). This causes the refrigerant to flow into the evaporator in gaseous form, without liquid.
The liquid could damage the compressor when priming.
The position of the ball (6) depends on the pressure acting on the membrane in the sensor (2); this pressure again depends on the refrigerant temperature
after the evaporator (top of the evaporator).
If the refrigerant temperature after the evaporator (1) is too high (when a lot of heat is converted), the pressure in the temperature sensor (2) will
increase. This moves the pin (9) and ball (6) and enlarges the passage opening. As a result, the yield of the refrigerant (7) increases.
Conversely, the pressure decreases at a lower refrigerant temperature after the evaporator (1).

The linear pressure sensor controls the correct operation of the system and thus replaces the four-stage pressure regulator. The sensor continuously analyzes the pressure in
the air-conditioning system at the same wide range and immediately transmits the pressure changes to the injection control unit, allowing very flexible adjustment of the switch-on
thresholds.
Whenever the pressure changes, the voltage signal that the injection control unit uses to control the blower speed and shut down the compressor will change if the pressure rises or
falls above/below the allowable limit (safety function).
The range of the linear sensor is 3.018 to 29.508 bar and follows the graph of pressure (Bar) - percentage output voltage (% Vcc) shown below.
The permission to start the compressor and control the fan speed, depending on the pressure, takes place within this pressure range; below or above these values, the compressor
will shut down for safety reasons to avoid damage to the system.

In a manual system, the blower is controlled by the blower switch in the passenger compartment; it sends a signal to a voltage divider, causing the different
speeds. The resistor group is located in the air guide between the air supply and the cooling unit.
With the automatic system, the blower is controlled by the special push buttons on the control panel; these send the signal to the Climate Control
Node, which generates the different voltages for the corresponding speeds.
pollen filter
The pollen filter's job is to remove small dust particles from the outside air into the interior.
This is located in the stove house.
This filter is present in both the manual and the automatic system.
The car is equipped with an additional PTC heater that serves to quickly heat the interior when the engine is running under unfavorable atmospheric
conditions (e.g. in a very cold climate).
It is a resistor near the cooler element with a maximum power of 750 W.
Control strategy
The auxiliary heater (PTC) is controlled by an electronic control unit in the climate control via relays, which are energized when the following conditions
occur for at least three seconds:
- PTC activation request via CAN from the climate control unit (on versions with automatic climate control) OR a switch-on signal from the blower and a
maximum heating command (on vehicles with manual climate control)
- Outside temperature (< 20 °C)
- Engine speed > 700/min
- Coolant < 70 °C
- Battery voltage > 12.6 V
The two relays are energized in three steps within 5 seconds:
The PTC heater will turn off if at least one of the following conditions occurs for at least 3 seconds.
- PTC switch-off request via CAN by the climate control unit (on versions with automatic climate control) or a switch-off signal from the blower and the lack of a maximum heating
command (on vehicles with manual climate control)
- Outside temperature (< 20 °C)
- Engine speed < 600/min
- Coolant < 70 °C

191 - Giulietta 1.4 Turbo MultiAir INTRODUCTION - AIR CONDITIONING CASING AND COMPONENTS
INTRODUCTION
The climate control system fitted on the vehicle is a system that allows the variation of the ambient features of the air introduced into the passenger compartment
(temperature and humidity). It allows all glass surfaces to be demisted and prevents the entrance of pollutants, thereby making the environment of the
passenger compartment more healthy.
The air conditioning system is a comfort factor that contributes to improving the physiological wellbeing of the vehicle occupants.
Operating principle
The aim of refrigeration equipment is to absorb heat from an environment. In order to do this an air conditioner has recourse to certain fluids (known
as refrigerants) capable of cooling down (lowering their temperature) and changing state (from liquid to gas) when they are subject to a large drop in pressure,
thus expanding. They are therefore capable of absorbing heat from their environment. When their temperature increases, causing an increase in pressure as
well, they change state yet again (from gas to liquid) on condensing.
The first problem is therefore to liquify this gas, by bringing it to a temperature below the evaporation (or boiling) temperature which, as has already been
stated, is -26°C at atmospheric pressure for R134a.
In order for this to be achieved at ambient temperature which, in our case, may be rather high (in the engine compartment), it is necessary to increase
the evaporation point of the gas so that it remains liquid until the moment it is made to expand, in order to produce the desired refrigerant effect.
To raise the boiling point of the gas its pressure must be increased, at the same time, decreasing the temperature.
In order for this to take place the system requires a certain amount of power. This power, supplied by the compressor, is subtracted from the power produced
by the engine.
The operating principle of the refrigerant cycle phases in the air conditioning system for a motor vehicle can be summed up as follows.
The gaseous R134a refrigerant is drawn in by the compressor at a pressure of between 0.5 and 2 bar and is compressed at a value of between 10 and 17 bar.
Boiling point becomes around 60 °C at these pressures.
This fluid, heated by the compression stage to 80-100°C, still in a gaseous state, in the compressor where, through the effect of the cooling air flow (produced
by the vehicle moving forward or through the action of the fan) that passes through it, reaches condensation point, changing at high pressure to a liquid state.
Later on the coolant passes through a filter with three functions: to trap impurities, to absorb the moisture contained in the circuit and to work as a spare
reservoir for the coolant itself.
The refrigerant therefore reaches the expansion valve which introduces it into the evaporator where the pressure is around 1.5 atm. (1.52 bar). At this
pressure, the liquid-vapour system saturated with coolant fluid is balanced at a temperature of about -7°C. At the same time, the air passing through the
evaporator (through the action of a fan), is at a considerably higher temperature than the coolant fluid it contains, causing it to boil and complete evaporation
through heat transfer. When it cools down, the air deposits some of the humidity it contains on the evaporator fins in the form of droplets which are collected
in a chamber and drained outside the vehicle.
The air, cooled and dehumidified in this way, is sent inside the vehicle. The refrigerant at the evaporator outlet is drawn in again by the compressor giving rise
to a new cycle.
The route of the refrigerant fluid can be summarized as follows:
- In the compressor, the fluid coming from the evaporator is gaseous (temperature -5, -7°C, pressure 0.5 - 2 bar). Compression phase: the gaseous fluid is
heated (temperature 80 - 100 °C, pressure 10 - 17 bar).
Machine Translated by Google
- Condenser - Compression phase: the fluid transmits heat to the outside, cools down and returns to a liquid state (temperature 40 - 60°C, pressure 10 - 17 bar).
- Thermostatic expansion valve - Expansion phase - the fluid loses pressure (0.5 - 2 bar, possibly even 3 bar) becomes a gas + liquid mixture; the
temperature is low, typical of air conditioning.
- Evaporator - Evaporation phase: the fluid becomes completely gaseous because the hot air driven by the fan has a higher temperature than the coolant
fluid and causes it to boil and evaporate completely giving off heat. The temperature is low, that of air conditioning (pressure 0.5 - 2 bar).
Types of system
This vehicle is available with different climate control systems for the passenger
compartment: - manual climate control
- dual zone automatic climate control.
Manual climate control system: the user sets the air temperature, distribution and flow rate and they remain as such until they are altered by the user later on.
Automatic climate control (dual zone): the user can set the parameters and select automatic system management. If they so wish, the user can preseve the
facility to manage the system manually.
The automatic climate control system on this vehicle is the dual zone type (driver's zone and front passenger zone) in other words the system has two
sets of controls for the driver and the front passenger and the various settings can be managed separately, by altering the air temperature and distribution
parameters (the flow rate cannot be different in the two zones) providing a certain degree of independence.
Operation
The maual air conditioner allows the use to manage the temperature and intake of air into the passenger compartment using the knobs and control buttons.
The following parameters/functions can be altered
manually: - Temperature - Distribution in 5 positions - Fan
speed - Engagement of compressor - Recirculation.
The activation of the air mixing and air distribution controls by the knobs to the climate control casing takes place by means of electric motors.
The recirculation is activated by an electric motor as well.
The compressor can only be activated if a fan speed is set.
Commands
All the non adjustment buttons are dual (ON/OFF) including the recirculation.
The control panel for the climate control system control unit is illustrated in the diagram below.

Operating logic
The control unit that manages the automatic climate control is capable of producing and maintaining the desired comfort within the two areas of the passenger compartment by controlling the
following parameters and functions: - Air temperature at the driver's/passenger side vents; - Fan speed (continuous variation); - Air distribution; - Engagement of compressor; - Recirculation.
The climate control system control system is managed in such a way as to regulate the "equivalent temperature", i.e. the temperature correlated to the thermal sensation and defined by a series of
parameters such as humidity, passenger compartment air flow rate, average temperature, etc.
Therefore the user sets an equivalent temperature and the system acts on all the variables in its control to ensure the thermal sensation requested; for this reason the temperature in degrees centigrate
measured in the passenger compartment may not coincide with the temperature shown on the display.
The following parameters/functions can be altered manually: - Driver's/
passenger side temperatures - Fan speed - Distribution in 7 positions -
Compressor - Defrosting/demisting function - Recirculation.
Manual selections always take priority over automatic ones and are memorised until the user restores the automatic mode.
The manual setting of a function does not adversely affect the control of the other automatic functions, in particular the temperature control is always automatic when the system is operating.
Each time it is switched on, the system restores the conditions memorized when it was turned off, except for: - the MAX DEF function
which is reset; - the recirculation which, with the compressor OFF, is forced open; - fan speed (continuous variation).
By turning the knob for the required zone (driver's knob 1 or passenger's knob 2) the temperature is increased (clockwise) or decreased (anticlockwise) and is shown on the relevant display (14 or
15).
The temperature settings are memorized at the key off and then restored at the next key on.
The knob works in steps of 0.5 °C and one complete revolution of the knob produces 34 steps.
The temperature range that can be set is from 16 °C to 32 °C. Below 16 °C the setting is LOW, whilst above 32 °C it is HI.
The HI condition or maximum heating (shown on the display 14 and 15) is reached by setting an equivalent T requested by the user greater than 32°C.
The request by the user (driver's knob 1 or passenger's knob 2) for the "HI" condition or maximum heating switches off the AUTO button (12) and forces the MONO condition (13) regulating the
following parameters:
Machine Translated by Google
When the LO condition or maximum cooling is set (shown on displays 14 and 15), the AUTO button is switched off and the MONO mode is forced, entailing the
following actions: - Enabling of the compressor (AC LED on); - Mixer flaps in maximum cold position; - Distribution flap in VENT position and LED on; - Air flow
rate at preset value; - Recirculation remains unchanged as requested by user.
All the manual settings are allowed in the LO condition in accordance with the planned logics.
The Auto command is accepted, the LO function and the 16 °C temperature setting for both zones are reset.
If the driver adjusts the temperature setting this moves the passenger setting out of LO to 16°C.
If the passenger changes the temperature setting this also moves the driver's setting out of LO (to 16 ºC), then the passenger can change their own setting setting
the system to Dual Zone mode.
If the compressor is switched off (AC LED off), the system may not be capable of controlling/maintaining one or both of the temperatures set. The digits
indicating the temperature will flash in these conditions.
Pressing this button (12) makes the AUTO button LED switch on and the system switches to automatic management which controls:
- Air distribution;
- Fan speed;
- Compressor;
- Recirculation.
The AUTO LED switches off when at least one manual distribution, flow rate, recirculation or compressor control is carried out. At this point the system only
returns to AUTO mode if the AUTO button is pressed again.
If the compressor is switched off (AC LED off), the system may no longer be capable of controlling/maintaining one or both of the temperatures set. The digits
indicating the temperature will flash in these conditions.

Recirculation
The recirculation button and the LED operate according to ROLLING logic.
By pressing this button repeatedly, the 3 possible types of operation are
recalled: - Recirculation forced closed (passenger compartment air)
- Recirculation forced open (outside air).
- Automatic recirculation (management transferred to the control unit).
RECIRCULATION FORCED CLOSED This
type of operation is signalled by the recirculation LED being on (button 7).
Machine Translated by Google
The air flow rate can be adjusted manually (using knob 11) to eight levels displayed on the LED above the knob itself.
To increase the air flow in the compartment, just turn the knob clockwise and to decrease it turn it anticlockwise.
In automatic operation the speed is continuously controlled by the control unit and displayed on the LEDs.
If the ventilation control is operated manually, the AUTO condition is exited.
At KEY ON the air flow rate is at the first bar (minimum flow rate) until the engine is started.

Compressor enablement
The LED in the compressor button (6) indicates the setting desired by the user: if the LED is on, the user wishes the compressor to be activated.
With the LED on, pressing the button switches off the LED and deactivates the compressor. This selection remains memorised indefinitely even after
the car has stopped, the same as for the other manual controls. The button has a dual function and therefore pressing it again re-activates the
compressor and switches on the LED.
Pressing the compressor button (6) activates the compressor and switches on the LED.
From this moment, if the requirements relating to the outside temperature are met, the system produces the necessary cold for controlling the
climate control system inside the passenger compartment with the dehumidification effect of the evaporator.
This functional state is maintained even after the next Key Off/On.
When the user deactivates the compressor the following takes
place: - the LED in the compressor button switches off.
- The AUTO LED switches off.
The check verifies whether, with the current outside temperature, the system is capable of reaching/maintaining the requested
temperature: - If the answer is YES, then the system works normally and is capable of meeting the requirements even without the compressor switched on.
- If the answer is NO, then the system is not capable of meeting the user's requirements and signals this by making the temperature setting values flash.
mono control
The MAX DEF function manages the air flow rate and distribution to demist the windows in the shortest possible time (the flow rate is minimal with the
engine switched off).
The activation of the function lasts for three minutes starting from when the temperature of the cooling water exceeds a preset level.
When the MAX DEF button (8) is pressed, the system carries out the following
operations: - Switching on of the MAX DEF LED (8); - Memorizing of the functional
status and previous displays of MAX DEF control; - Switching off of the AUTO and
RECIRCULATION function LEDs; - Switching on of the DEF distribution, compressor
enablement, MONO, recirculation open and heated rear windscreen LEDs; - Display of the max hot temperature (HI) on
both temperature displays (14 and 15); - Displaying of the air flow on the LED.
The rear defrosting is implemented both with the appropriate button pressed and through the Max-Def procedure.
The operating status is displayed by the relevant led switching on or off. The function requesting the activation of the heated rear windscreen is only
subject to the presence of the key-on.
The HEATED REAR WINDSCREEN function is not memorized at the key-off.
On switching on the various parameters are controlled manually or automatically depending on the selections made by the user before switching off.
Therefore all manual interventions carried out before the car stops are memorised and maintained at the next starting except for those relating to
safety (e.g. misting).
If at the previous key off, the control was MAX-DEF, at the next key on the system will assume the position memorised before MAX-DEF.
Self-learning procedure
After the control unit or one of the actuators (excluding the recirculation one) has been replaced, it is necessary to proceed as follows.
CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT
Some of the CAN nodes (including the climate control system control unit) are programmed with default settings which the customer will discover on
acquiring the vehicle. If the control unit is being replaced, the Parts Dept. will send a blank component: once fitted, the data memorized in the Body
Computer must be transferred to it.
- Connect the Examiner.
- Select "Active Diagnosis".
- Launch the "Autotest" procedure.
- Select the "Flap Actuator Learning" test.
ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT
The self-learning procedure must be carried out using the Examiner selecting the "Flap Actuator Learning" test (automatic procedure) or
following the instructions given below (manual procedure).
The activation of the "Self-diagnosis" mode is signalled by the switching off of the ECU backlighting LEDs.
ACTIVATION OF THE SELF-LEARNING ROUTINE
Once in the Self-Learning channel, the LEDs of the buttons (2, 3, 4) report the status of the last Self-Learning procedure carried out, with the
following codification:
Self-Learning NOT completed successfully Backlight OFF and Function buttons LEDS OFF To start a new Self-learning
procedure, just press the AC button (2); for the entire duration of the routine, the LEDs of the function buttons will be OFF and the backlight LEDs
will flash (RUN).
A positive outcome will be shown at the end of the procedure: the backlight LEDs will be off and the function buttons LEDs will be on.
A negative outcome will be shown at the end of the procedure: the backlight LEDs and the function buttons LEDs will be off.
To leave the "Self-Diagnosis" mode, press the LUN and REC buttons simultaneously (3 and 4), or switch the ECU off and on again (key off followed
by key on).
The activation of "Self-diagnosis" mode is signalled by the change of the displayed value on both control unit displays (3 and 4).
ACTIVATION OF THE SELF-LEARNING ROUTINE
Once in the Self-Learning channel, the Passenger Temperature Display (4) reports the status of the last Self-Learning procedure carried out, with the
following codification:
Self-Learning RUNNING 0
successfully To start a new a Self-learning procedure, simply press the AUTO button (5); for the entire duration of the routine the Passenger
Temperature Display (4) signals 0 (RUN) and shows the positive outcome at the end (value displayed = 1) or negative outcome (value displayed = 2).

There are four temperature sensors on the duct/distributor assembly - for automatic climate control system - which provide the climate control system control

The frost sensor is located next to the evaporator.
The TMR is a new sensor that replaces the standard passenger compartment temperature sensor and the solar sensor used in standard automatic systems.
The new sensor measures the mean radiant temperature in the compartment and gives an optimised signal regarding the current temperature conditions inside

Passenger compartment moisture sensor (only available for automatic climate control system)
The moisture sensor allows the automatic system to intervene to prevent the windscreen and the front side windows from misting up, which happens in certain outside climate
conditions, and ensure optimum visibility.
This sensor is incorporated in the TMR sensor.
The AQS is an electronic device which sends a control signal for opening/closing the recirculation flap for the distributor unit when the air pollution index exceeds pre-set
pollution levels to prevent the introduction of polluted air into the passenger compartment; it is fitted on the distributor unit outside air intake.
Through the use of a special sensitive element, the presence of oxidising pollutant particles (e.g. CO) or reducing agents (e.g. NOx) in the air surrounding the vehicle can be
detected.
The sensitivity of the system is optimised according to the potential danger of the pollutant gases according to the M.A.K. index (maximal concentration of harmful substances
at work at an exposure of over 8 hours).
The sensitive element is regulated and heated to a constant temperature of 300°C to give a consistent performance in an ambient temperature operating range of -
25°C to -85°C. It is not affected by the speed or the temperature of the air passing through.
The sensor produces a PWM signal within around 40 secs from when it is first supplied.
Expansion valve
The section of the expansion valve and the main parts are illustrated in the diagram below.
A - Expansion valve
This type of expansion valve has two different refrigerant fluid flows: -
Lower flow, from point (4), gas coming from the drier filter, to point (7), gas outlet towards the evaporator, containing the overheating spring (5) and the modulating
element which, in this case, is the ball (6) housed in the calibrated duct.
- Upper flow, from pint (1), gas coming from the evaporator, to pin (3), gas outlet towards the compressor, containing the thermostatic sensor (2) which is
connected to the upper part of the diaphragm and to the ball (6).
The flow rate control function is exerted through the movement of the ball (6) connected, via the rod (9), to the thermostat sensor (2).
The action of the ball (6) is opposed by the spring (5) which is suitably calibrated and ensures that the refrigerant in the evaporator is in a gaseous state without the
presence of any fluid which, if drawn in by the compressor, could damage it.
The position of the ball (6) depends on the difference in pressure acting on the diaphragm inside the sensor (2); this, in turn, depends on the temperature of the
refrigerant leaving the evaporator (upper flow of the valve).
High evaporator (1) gas outlet temperatures, corresponding to conditions where heat dissipation is high, increase the pressure inside the thermostatic sensor (2); this
involves the movement of the rod (9) and the ball (6) connected to it, which increases the area of the flow and, as a result, the refrigerant (7) flow rate.
The opposite takes place when the temperature of the gas coming out of the evaporator (1) is low.
The go ahead for the activation of the compressor and the adjustment of the fan speed, depending on the variation in pressure, takes place in this pressure range; the
compressor is deactivated above and below these values for safety reasons to prevent damage to the system.
The pin out for the sensor is illustrated in the diagram below.
The supply voltage can vary +/- 10% and the operating temperature of the sensor is between 5°C and 80°C

The compressor external control changes the temperature downstream of the evaporator, thereby reducing post-heating.
This allows fairly good energy saving when an intermediate temperature is required at the vents.

Fan
On the manual system, the fan is activated by the passenger compartment air speed selector which sends the signal to a resistive divider which produces
the different speeds. The resistive divider is fitted in the duct between the dynamic air intake and the unit to cool it.
In the automatic system the fan is operated by dedicated buttons in the control panel which send the signal to the Climate Control Node which produces different
voltage values for the different speeds.

Pollen filter
The pollen filter is designed to filter the outside air entering the passenger compartment.
It is located inside the air conditioner casing.
The filter is fitted on both the manual version and the automatic version of the climate control system.
Operating logic
The additional heater (PTC) is managed by an electronic control unit located at the edge of the climate control unit which activates the ignition relays for at least three seconds
consecutively if the following conditions prevail: - Request for PTC activation from the CAN by the climate control unit (on versions with automatic climate control system) OR fan
activation signal and maximum hot request (on versions with manual climate control)
The PTC is deactivated if at least one of the following conditions persists for at least 3 seconds.
- Request for PTC deactivation from the CAN by the climate control unit (on versions with automatic climate control system) or fan deactivation signal and NOT maximum hot request (on
versions with manual climate control)
- Outside temperature (> 20 °C)
- Engine speed < 600 rpm -
Engine coolant > 70 °C - Battery
voltage < 11.2 V
Thermal balance
The PTC is disabled in successive steps according to the engine coolant temperature, as shown in the following table:
> 70 C 0
< 60 C 100
Electrical balance
The PTC is disabled in steps also depending on the battery voltage as set out in the table below:

SPECIFICATIONS
The installation with which the car is equipped serves to clean and keep the windscreen clean. In addition, a headlamp washer system is available as an
option.
Reservoir
The reservoir is located on the left side of the wheel arch. The reservoir supplies the water/antifreeze mixture to the windshield washer pump for cleaning the
windscreen. In addition, the headlamp washers (if fitted) are supplied with liquid by means of a separate pump.
The capacity of the reservoir is large enough to carry out a minimum of 25 wipe/wash cycles. Depending on the function, the volume is approximately 5
liters for versions without and approximately 6 liters for versions with headlamp washers.
The plastic reservoir has outer seats for the windshield washer pump and headlight washer pump (if equipped).
Controls
The functions of the wiper unit:
- windscreen wipers: wipe
frequency; - rear wiper: wiping frequency and activation when
reversing; - windscreen washers for: intelligent wash/wipe; - rear
window washer: intelligent wash/wipe; are performed by the
electronic control unit in the steering column switch.
The various functions can be switched on with the right lever.

Automatic operation
A rain sensor controls the automatic operation: this is a sensor on the windshield of the car, which is equipped with an infrared LED; this
allows the presence of rain to be signaled and thus the wiping can be controlled depending on the water on the window.
The rain sensor is turned on by turning the rotary switch on the right lever of the steering column switch to the interval/automatic position. The wiping
frequency of the windscreen wipers is adjusted to the amount of water on the windscreen. This frequency can vary from zero strokes (no rain - dry
window) to the second speed (lots of rain - wet window).
After activating the rain sensor, the windscreen wipers make 1 stroke as feedback that the activation of the sensor has taken place.
The user can set the sensitivity of the rain sensor using the instrument panel setup menu.
If the engine is turned off and the rotary switch is left in the interval/automatic position, the wipe cycle will not start after restart, even if
not when it rains; this prevents unexpected activations that could lead to dangerous conditions (e.g. if the windows are washed by someone, if the
wiper rubbers are frozen, etc.).
To reset the system to automatic operation, move the rotary switch from the interval/automatic position to any other position and then back to the
interval/automatic position.
If the rain sensor is faulty, the following strategies are performed: - if the
fault is present when switching on (turning the rotary switch), the wipers will wipe at the interval speed, regardless of the presence of rain on the window
- if the fault occurs during operation (with the rain sensor activated): the windscreen wipers are controlled according to the last command sent from the
rain sensor, until another operation is switched on or the windscreen wipers are switched off.
In all cases, the malfunction of the sensor is displayed on the instrument panel; this can determine the incorrect operation of the sensor.
The fault display remains until the fault has been rectified.

When mounting in the workshop, check that there are no air bubbles between the glass and the sensor. Press the sensor with at least 50 N to remove
the air bubbles.
When the rotary switch for the rear windscreen wiper on the right lever of the steering column switch is turned, one of the following windscreen wiper
functions is activated: - interval: with a pause between the strokes of 2.7 seconds - same with the windscreen wipers if at the same time the front and
rear windshield wipers are on. In this situation, the operation is synchronous, but at half the wiping frequency relative to the frequency of the front
windshield wipers - continuously, when reverse gear is engaged.
Pulling the right lever of the steering column switch towards the steering wheel activates the front windshield washers.
If the lever is held for longer than 0.5 second, the wipers will also operate at the first constant speed.
When the lever is released, 3 more cleaning strokes are performed plus an additional stroke after 6 seconds (to clear any drips).
If the wipers are already operating before the windshield washer command is given, the washer function will only change the operation of the wipers if
they are in intermittent mode.

Headlight Washers
The headlamp washer system features a pump mounted in addition to the windshield washer pump specified above, which directs the
cleaning fluid to two telescopic washer nozzles on the front bumper, cleaning the headlamps with a powerful jet.
If the front windscreen washers are switched on when the low beam is on, the headlamp washers are also switched on for 1.2 s.
The windshield washer pump operates with successive pulses for approximately half a second.

191 - Giulietta 1.4 Turbo MultiAir INTRODUCTION - SCREEN WASHERS AND HEADLAMP WASH/WIPE
SPECIFICATIONS
The vehicle is equipped with a system that cleans and washes the front windscreen. The vehicle may be fitted as an option with a pressurized liquid
washing system for the front headlamps.
Reservoir
The reservoir is located in the left side of the wheel arch compartment and it allows the screen washer system pump to supply the water-antifreeze
mixture required to clean the front window.If the vehicle is equipped with the relevant option, it also supplies the headlamp washer system via a special pump.
The reservoir is made out of plastic and contains external housings for the pump that supplies the windscreen washer and headlamp washers (if fitted).
Commands
The control of the wiping functions and, in particular, of
the: - windscreen wiper: sweep rate; - rearscreen wiper:
sweep rate and control during reversing; - windscreen
wiper function: smart washing; - rearscreen washer
function: smart washing; is managed by the electronic
module inside the steering column switch unit.
The right lever allows the activation of the various functions.
Operation
Windscreen wipers
Manual mode operation
First speed continuous: the windscreen wiper is operated at the first speed at 45 strokes/minute.
Second speed continuous: the windscreen wiper is operated at the second speed at 65 strokes/minute.
A special rain sensor manages the automatic operation: it is a sensor with an infrared LED installed in the windscreen capable of detecting the presence
of rain and, consequently, of managing the wiping depending on the water present on the glass.
The rain sensor is activated by placing the ring nut for the right steering column stalk lever in the AUTO position. The frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes is automatically adjusted depending on the amount of water on the windscreen. This frequency can vary from no stroke (no rain - windscreen dry)
up to the second continuous speed (heavy rain - windscreen wet).
The activation of the rain sensor involves a windscreen wiper arm stroke as feedback to confirm that it has been switched on.
The user can alter the sensitivity of the rain sensor, using the vehicle set up menu in the instrument panel.
If the car is stopped off leaving the ring nut in the AUTO position, the next time it is started there is no wiping cycle even if it is raining; this
prevents accidental activation which could cause dangerous conditions for the user (for example, washing the windscreen by hand, blades frozen in place, etc.).
To restore the automatic operation of the system, move the ring nut from the AUTO position to any other position and then return it to the AUTO position.
If there is a problem with the rain sensor (sensor faulty), the following strategies are
activated: - if the problem is present at the activation (operation of the ring nut), the windscreen wiper immediately works in intermittent operation,
irrespective of whether or not there is rain on the glass - if it occurs during operation (with the rain sensor activated): the windscreen wiper is operated in
accordance with the last command sent by the rain sensor until another mode is selected or the operation of the windscreen wiper is deactivated.
In any of these cases the instrument panel signals the failure of the sensor; this makes it possible to highlight the incorrect operation of the sensor.
The fault reading remains activated until the fault disappears.
Rain sensor
The device consists of a sensitive element (1) containing infra red transmission elements and a reception element.
A containment structure (2) and a cover (3) that protects the sensitive element.
A contact disc (4) spread with silicone material (SilGel612) to bond it to the glass.

The layer of silicone material is protected by a film that is removed when the component is installed. Avoid touching with your hands to prevent damage
to the silicone. Because it is not possile to disconnect and reconnect the part without damaging the silicone layer, the sensor should be replaced if the
windscreen is replaced.
If a new part is installed during service, check that no air bubbles remain between the glass and sensor, apply a load of at least 50N to ensure any
bubbles emerge.
When the rearscreen wiper ring nut located on the right steering column switch unit lever is turned, the rearscreen wiper is activated in one of the
following modes: - intermittent: with a pause between strokes of 2.7 secs - subject to the windscreen wiper (if there is a simultaneous windscreen/
rearscreen wiper request): In this case the operation is synchronous with a frequency equal to half that of the windscreen wiper - if reverse gear is
engaged it is continuous.
Windscreen washer
Pulling the right steering column switch unit lever activates the front washing.
Keeping the lever pulled for more than 0.5 secs produces the automatic operation of the windscreen wiper at the first continuous speed.
When the control is released there are a further 3 strokes to clean the windscreen plus another one 6 seconds later (to remove any drips).
If the windscreen wiper was already activated before the washing command using the lever, the washing logic is only effective for activating intermittent
operation.

START&STOP SYSTEM
The Start&Stop system automatically switches off the engine when the car is stationary and starts the engine as soon as the driver wants to start driving again.
This results in lower fuel consumption, a reduction in exhaust emissions and lower noise production.
COMPONENTS
The Start&Stop system essentially consists of a starting system (battery and starter motor) that can restart the engine quickly and relatively quietly
and should be able to perform a much larger number of starts than a traditional system.
The system is supplemented by several other components (sensors and control software) that control stops and starts without restricting the driver's
driving behavior and guaranteeing the safety, driving characteristics and energy balance of the car with minimal influence on climate comfort. in the interior
and the usability of the electrical accessories.
Stopping and restarting the engine is controlled under safe conditions by operating the accelerator, brake or clutch pedal or the gear lever on which
specific sensors are mounted.
In order to guarantee user comfort, starting speed (when the engine is warm), reliability, service life and safety, a much more powerful and robust starting
system has been used.
In order to prevent irregularities in the operation/settings of the Infotainment system (car radio, navigation system and Hi-Fi system) due to the voltage
drop during the first revolutions of the starter motor, a voltage stabilizer is included to compensate for the voltage drops.
The regulation and control strategy for the stops and starts of the engine is performed by two control units:
- The Engine Management Node (NCM); - The Body Computer (BC).
The control signals and the necessary information for the operation of the Start&Stop system come from or are supplied by these control units via
separate wiring or via the CAN.
The NCM and BC continuously exchange information about the health of the Start&Stop system and whether the system is temporarily or
permanently on or off.
The NCM is the "master" control unit that, based on the collected information about the condition of the car and the components of the Start&Stop
system, controls the shutdown and start of the engine.
The Body computer (BC) collects some of the information about the condition of all vehicle systems that interact with the Start&Stop system and that are
not directly controlled by the NCM. The body computer informs the NCM of the activation/deactivation (temporary or permanent) of the engine shutdown
function, the restart of the engine or the advice to the NCM to "permanently" switch off the engine in unsafe situations, so that the next start can only be
performed using the ignition key.
The picture shows the main components of the system.

Dynamo
The car is also equipped with a larger alternator for a higher charging current.
Battery
The battery of a car with a Start&Stop system is exposed to a greater electrical load due to the higher number of starts and the current consumption with the engine
stopped (where the alternator is not working). To increase reliability, a "Heavy Duty" type battery with a larger capacity is used. This is better suited for the higher
electrical load.
Replacing the "Heavy Duty" battery with a battery without this technology can, in addition to reducing the availability of the START&STOP system, also
lead to rapid battery wear and therefore a short service life.
Voltage Stabilizer
The purpose of the voltage stabilizer is to maintain a constant voltage in systems that are sensitive to voltage drops and, in particular, to provide power for the
functions of the Infotainment system (car radio, navigation system and Hi-Fi system). During the automatic start of the car, the voltage stabilizer keeps the supply
voltage within certain limits so that no problems with the power supply arise.
However, when starting with the ignition key, a stabilized voltage is not guaranteed.
In the event of a malfunction, the BCM receives a signal from the voltage stabilizer. A malfunction of the voltage stabilizer could, among other things, cause
the radio to turn off or reset during restart.
The voltage stabilizer is located under the passenger side dashboard, next to the glovebox.

Neutral sensor
The NCM receives information about engaging neutral from a sensor on the gearbox.
clutch sensor
The NCM receives information about the position of the clutch pedal from the rotation sensor on the clutch pedal. It can have the
following values: - HIGH (pedal not pressed)
- MIDDLE (pedal partially depressed)
- LOW (pedal fully depressed)
OPERATION
The system is armed every time at Key-on.
Engine shutdown method When
the vehicle is almost stationary (speed below 3 km/h for longer than 0.5 seconds and the accelerator pedal released), the engine will
shut down under the following conditions: - gearbox in neutral - clutch pedal released
The engine will only turn off automatically after driving faster than approximately 10 km/h to avoid repeated engine shutdowns when
driving at walking pace.
The engine shutdown is indicated by a light on the instrument panel.
RULE PROGRAM
Due to comfort requirements, to limit emissions and for safety reasons, the normal operation of the system is blocked in some cases.
When the system is switched on, the engine will not be switched off if one of the following occurs: - engine still
cold (temperature sensor indicates that the temperature is below approx. 40 °C); - battery insufficiently charged
(less than 75%) or battery condition sensor defective; - limited underpressure in the braking system (observed by
the relevant sensor, for example after repeatedly depressing the brake pedal); - particulate filter regeneration in progress (only
for diesel engines with DPF) - voltage stabilizer defective - rear window heating switched on (in this case it is assumed that the
driver wants to demist the windows, which requires the engine to continue running so that warm and/or cooled air remains
available) - windshield wipers longer switched on for more than 4 seconds at maximum speed (in this case it is assumed that the weather
conditions are such that maximum driving comfort is preferred) - driver's door not closed; - driver's seat belt not fastened; - reverse engaged
(to prevent the engine from being switched off during parking manoeuvres); - with automatic air conditioning, as long as a comfortable
interior temperature has not been reached (difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature in the car more than 4 °C) or
if the MAX-DEF function is activated; - Faulty in one or more sensors or systems found - in the first period of use when the system sets itself
up. - very low outside temperature (with accompanying message)
In the above cases, a message appears on the display and the warning light (if fitted) on the instrument panel flashes.
The engine is forced to restart automatically, even without driver intervention, under the following circumstances: - too
low underpressure for the braking system: if the negative pressure sensor indicates too low a value, indicating a possible loss of braking
capacity, this prevent the car from making an unwanted movement due to a possible loss of pressure in the brake booster when it is stationary
on a slope with the engine switched off - car is driving: if the speed is higher than 5 km/h, this prevents a dangerous situation that can arise if
the car is cannot slow down a descent on the engine. - engine switched off by the system for too long: the engine is restarted when it has been
switched off by the system for more than 160 seconds, provided the gear lever is still in neutral.
Machine Translated by Google
- reverse engaged: to prevent the engine from being switched off during parking manoeuvres. - cold
engine: the temperature sensor indicates that the temperature is lower than approx. 30°C - catalytic
converter temperature too low - handbrake applied while the car is moving: when the handbrake is
applied while the car is driving with the engine stopped at a speed of more than 3 km /h, this safety intervention prevents a dangerous situation that arises if the car
is unable to brake on the engine on a descent. - particulate filter regeneration in progress (only for diesel engines with DPF) - battery insufficiently charged (less
than 70%)
- accuconditiesensor defect
- very low outside temperature (with accompanying
message); - difference between set temperature of automatic air conditioning and actual temperature in car more than 7°C or MAX-DEF function on - wipers
on for more than 4 seconds at maximum speed
When the gear is engaged, automatic restart of the engine is only allowed when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. The driver is requested to do this by
means of a message on the display and by the light on the instrument panel flashing.
If the clutch pedal is not depressed, the engine can only be restarted after a period of 3 minutes after switching off using the ignition key.
If the engine has stalled inadvertently, for example because the clutch pedal was released too quickly with a gear engaged, and the Start&Stop system is
engaged, the engine can be restarted by depressing the clutch pedal all the way or by putting the gear lever in neutral .
Security Features
If the engine has been switched off by the Start&Stop system and the driver unfastens their seat belt and opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine can only
be restarted afterwards using the ignition key.
The driver is made aware of this situation by an audible signal, a message on the display and the flashing of the warning light on the instrument
panel.
Other situations where the system will shut down are: - Large
number of unsuccessful automatic start attempts: To prevent damage to the starter motor from too many consecutive starting attempts, up to five attempts are made
to start the engine automatically. - found a defect in one or more sensors or systems; - late response by the driver to a request to perform an action (must be done
within 175 seconds after the engine has been turned off). For example, if automatic restart of the engine fails because the clutch pedal is not pressed or the gearbox is
not in neutral, the driver is prompted to enable an automatic restart by depressing the clutch pedal or putting the gear into neutral. If it does not do this within 175
seconds after the engine has been switched off, restarting is only possible with the ignition key. - bonnet open (only if applicable).
If, after an automatic engine start, the driver does not take any action within 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system switches the engine off permanently to save fuel. In this
case, the engine can only be restarted using the ignition key.
In all cases it is possible to keep the engine running by switching off the Start&Stop system.

Starting is done by the driver turning the ignition switch to the start position with the key. This is done as follows: - When
the key is in the OFF position, both starter relays are not supplied with power and are therefore open - When the key is turned
to the AVV (+50) position, the NCM closes (signal from pin 72 of connector A) relay R1 to supply power to the starter motor.
As soon as the key is released, injection control unit NCM opens relay R1 and performs a diagnosis on both relays (signal on pin 28 of connector
A): This diagnosis can give the following results: a) Both relays are operating normally: the Body Computer (signal from pin 2 of connector B)
relay R2 closes and the Start&Stop function is activated. b) Relay R1 appears to be "sticking": R2 remains open and the Start&Stop function is
disabled. c) Relay R2 appears to be "sticking": R1 remains open and the Start&Stop function is disabled.
Automatic start
When an automatic restart is required due to driver action or system operation, the engine is started - without the driver having to use the key -
according to the following logic: - Relay R1 is closed by a command from the NCM (signal from pin 72 of connector A: because relay R2 was
already closed at the end of the key starting procedure, the starter motor is now supplied with voltage.
- When the engine has started, the NCM instructs the relay R1 to open and then the control unit re-diagnoses R1. It can have the following
results: a) R1 is open (as intended): the Start&Stop function is switched on b) R1 appears to be "sticking": relay R2 is opened and the
Start&Stop function is switched off.

STRUCTURE
The exterior lighting of the car is designed and constructed with two objectives: -
maximum yield of the various components, within the limits of international standards for lighting technology. - design in line with
the design of the car, so that the image is enhanced.
Operation
Daytime low beam (drl)
With the ignition key at MAR and the rotary switch of the steering column switch in position "O", the daytime running lights are switched on. The other lighting
and the interior lighting remain switched off.
For the operation of the daytime dipped beam, see the section "Menu options" in this chapter.
If the daytime running lights function is turned off - using the instrument panel setup menu - and the rotary switch is turned to the "O" position, none of the
lights will come on.
When the daytime running lights are turned on, the Body Computer powers the two lights, right and left, in the headlamp units.
A diagnosis is performed on the individual lamps of the daytime lighting; if a fault is detected, the body computer switches on the message "daylight failure".
outdoor lighting
When the ignition switch is at MAR and the rotary switch is turned to the "dipped beam" position, the daytime running lights go out and the exterior lights
and dipped beams come on.
The corresponding lights come on on the instrument panel.
When the exterior lights are turned on, the Body Computer powers the four lights (right and left/front and rear).
With Key-ON, the exterior lighting is always on at the same time as the low beam.
When the "Follow Me Home" function is switched on, all lamps of the outdoor lighting are supplied for a desired time.
With Key-OFF, the "External entrance lighting" function leaves the exterior lighting on for a certain time when the doors or tailgate are unlocked with the
remote control.
A diagnosis is performed on the individual lamps of the exterior lighting. If a malfunction is detected, the Body Computer switches on the message "outside
lighting malfunction".
The two license plate lights come on when the exterior lights are switched on.
Machine Translated by Google
With Key-OFF, the "External entrance lighting" function makes the license plate light come on for a certain time when the doors or tailgate are unlocked with the remote
control.
A diagnosis is also performed on the individual license plate light bulbs and a "license plate light malfunction" message is displayed on the instrument panel.
Parking lights
This function allows the exterior lights and license plate lights to come on at Key-OFF to draw attention to the parked car.
The function can only be activated with Key-OFF by turning the rotary switch of the left lever from position "O" to position "dipped beam". To switch off the function,
turn the rotary switch from the "dipped beam" position to the "O" position.
With Key-ON, the "Parking light" function is switched off and the steering signal is interrupted; then the exterior lighting and the license plate lighting
go out, unless they have been switched on automatically by the twilight sensor (where provided) in the meantime. The function will not be re-enabled at the next Key-
OFF; to re-enable the function, the procedure must be repeated.
dipped beams
When the ignition switch is at MAR and the rotary switch is turned to the "dipped beam" position, the daytime running lights go out and the exterior lights and dipped
beams come on.
The corresponding lights come on on the instrument panel. when the low
beams are turned on, the Body Computer operates the power relay for the lamps.
With Key-ON, the dipped beam exterior lighting is always on at the same time as the exterior lighting.
The dipped headlights can be switched on for a certain period after Key-OFF with the "Follow Me Home" function.
With Key-OFF, the "External courtesy lighting" function makes the dipped beams turn on for a certain time when the doors or tailgate are unlocked with the remote
control.
With Key-ON, the twilight sensor transmits the ambient light intensity to the body computer via the LIN serial connection, if the function is activated by
turning the rotary switch of the left lever to the "Auto" position, but also if the rotary switch not in that position.
When the rotary switch of the left lever is in the "Auto" position, the sensor is activated, the instrument panel displays the last entered light intensity and
the driver can enter a new value.
When the sensor is activated, the sensitivity can be changed using the instrument panel setup menu. The Body Computer controls the switching on and off of the
outdoor lighting, depending on the intensity of the ambient light received from the sensor. At a high light intensity, the daytime lighting is switched on; at a low
intensity, the exterior lighting and the indicator light on the instrument panel, license plate light and dipped beam are switched on.
If a sensor malfunction is detected, the message "Twilight sensor malfunction" lights up on the instrument panel. In addition, when the rotary switch of the lever is in
the "Auto" position, the exterior lighting and the corresponding lamp on the instrument panel, the license plate lamp and the dipped beam light come on.
Follow me home
With the "Follow Me Home" function: the exterior lighting and dipped beam are switched on for a limited time shortly after Key-OFF.
The function can only be activated within 2 minutes of key-OFF using the high beam signal lever of the steering column switch.
If the function is switched on and the exterior lighting and the dipped beam are on, the burning time is increased by 30 seconds with a further high beam signal.
Up to 7 "high beam" signals are accepted, so the lights stay on for a maximum of 210 seconds.
The "Follow Me Home" function can be turned off by a high beam signal for longer than 2 seconds. This command is only valid when the function is switched on
and causes the exterior lighting and dipped beam to go off and the timer for the "Follow Me Home" function and the counter for the 7 "high beam signals" to be reset to
zero.
After switching off, it is possible to switch on the "Follow Me Home" function again by means of a high beam signal, if this takes place within 2 minutes after Key-
OFF.
Note: Key-ON disables the active "Follow Me Home" function.
When the entered time has elapsed, the "Follow Me Home" function is switched off and the exterior lighting and dipped beam are turned off.
With Key-ON, the Body Computer controls the direction indicators, depending on the steering signal from the left lever of the steering column switch.
The direction indicators (front, side and rear) on one side of the car (left or right) are activated.
At the same time, an acoustic signal sounds in the interior.
When the lever is returned to the rest position, the direction indicators will turn off.
If the direction indicators are on, they go out at key-OFF.
When the hazard warning switch is operated (both Key-ON and Key-OFF), the Body Computer activates all 6 direction indicators (front, side and rear, left and right) and
sounds a chime in the passenger compartment.
When the direction indicators on one side of the car are switched on and the hazard warning switch is operated, the already switched on direction indicators and
indicator lamps will continue to operate without interruption or delay.
If a fault is detected in one of the front or rear direction indicators, the warning lamp will illuminate on the side of the car selected or both lamps will illuminate when
the hazard warning lights are on; at the same time, the flashing frequency of the indicator lamps and the frequency of the acoustic signal in the passenger compartment
are increased.
Note: The flashing frequency of the direction indicators themselves remains unchanged.
The flashing of the turn signals is also used by the car's access system, which controls the turn signals with a high priority to indicate locking/unlocking with the
remote control.
The turn signals can also be turned on by the alarm control unit via the Body Computer to indicate an alarm condition.
The Body Computer also activates the direction indicators during emergency braking and when the "Fire Protection Strategy" function is activated.
mister light
The rear fog lamp is switched on when the "rear fog lamp" button is pressed, if the exterior lighting and dipped beam are already on and goes out when the button is
pressed again or if the exterior lighting and dipped beam are switched off.
When the rear fog lamp is switched on, the corresponding message in the instrument panel also illuminates.
If the rear fog lamp was switched on with Key-OFF, it will not come on again with the next Key-ON. The Body Computer carries out the diagnoses for the rear fog light.
If a lamp malfunction is detected, a "rear fog lamp malfunction" signal is sent.

The front fog lights come on when the fog lights button is pressed, if the exterior lights and dipped beam are already on, and go out when the button is pressed again
or when the exterior lights and dipped beam are turned off.
If the fog lights are turned off because the exterior lights and dipped beams are turned off, and the exterior lights and dipped beams are turned back on, the fog lights
will not turn on again. After switching on the exterior lighting and the dipped beam, the fog lamps must be switched on again using the button.
When the fog lamps are switched on, the corresponding message on the instrument panel also illuminates.
If the fog lamps were switched on with Key-OFF, they will not come on again with the next Key-ON.
If the fog lamps are switched on and the engine is started at Key-OFF, the lamps will be switched off during starting, but the steering signal will not be
reset.
When the low beam is switched on, the height/adjustment of the light beam can be adjusted in 4 fixed positions using the buttons on the left switch panel
on the dashboard: the four positions correspond to the following loads: - 0: 1 person (driver), 2 people ( on the front seats) - 1: 5 people, 2 people (on the
front seats), 3 people (on the rear seats) - 2: 5 people plus maximum load - 3: 1 person (driver) plus maximum load in the luggage compartment without
the backrest folded down The maximum load is: max. permissible load on the rear axle or: total max. load of the car. A person is considered to be one
who weighs 75 kg.
The display of the instrument panel visually shows the status of the corresponding setting.
An electric motor is integrated in the headlamp unit: it controls the position of the reflector of the dipped beam by means of a gear transmission and an adjusting bolt.
LED-lighting
The main functions of the rear light unit are performed by LEDs (light emitting diodes).
This technology contributes to a compact and light unit, with low energy consumption and high light intensity (the LEDs consume 60% less
energy compared to traditional lamps and do not get hot).
In addition, unlike with the traditional lamp, the most vulnerable part has maximum resistance to vibration, allowing a lifetime of 100,000
hours of operation (this is 3-5,000 hours with incandescent lamps); As a result, the life of the lighting is even longer than the already long
average life of the car.
In addition, the visibility is increased by a higher switching on speed of, for example, the brake lights, so that the car is noticed faster (the
LEDs light up faster: 1 thousandth of a second compared to 200 before, so that the car traveling behind sees the start of the braking maneuver
much faster (with an advantage of about 5 meters at a speed of 120 km/h).

191 - Giulietta 2.0 JTDM GENERAL - XENON HEADLAMPS (Gas Discharge Headlamps)
- a more efficient light output due to a smaller amount of electrical energy absorbed during normal operation -
a greater light output which reduces the dimensions of the light unit (especially the height) so that greater freedom is created when designing the
front. - an average life of twice as long as a halogen lamp. - a better view of obstacles; the Xenon headlights provide 3 times more light than a
normal halogen headlight - faster response time; the road, edges and emergency lane are better lit, increasing the reaction time to avoid any
obstacles. - increased safety, better visibility and faster obstacle detection reduce the effort required when driving at night and under adverse
meteorological conditions, making the ride more comfortable.
The headlight adjustment when the lighting is switched on is controlled by an automatic dynamic system, which allows the beam to be adapted
to the load of the car or the irregularity of the road surface.
It mainly consists of feelers on the front and rear suspension, which control the height of the beam.

headlights
The components for the operation of the system are integrated in each unit (lamp, igniter, ballast, servomotor) as well as the components of traditional
lighting (exterior lighting, direction indicators, high beam).
The unit consists of:
Bulbs present: -
Xenon D1S bulb for low beam/high beam -
W21/5W glass socket bulb for daytime running/exterior lighting - 12V-21/5W -
12V-21W turn signal bulb - Halogen H7 for spot high beam 12V - 55W.
Xenon lamp
The light source of the dual-function xenon lighting is a D1S lamp, which is mounted in an elliptical module and is supplied with a high voltage supplied by
the igniter; the igniter is powered by the control unit (called Ballast), which increases the voltage to the value necessary to ignite the voltage arc. This value
should be increased from 85 Volts to 20,000 Volts and maintained for about 15 seconds.
The emission of light is caused by an arc between two electrodes in the glass lamp; the arc is maintained during operation.

3 - Ceramic insulation
4 - Plug The operation
of the xenon lamp can be divided into four phases.
- Ignition: In this phase, the control unit supplies a voltage that activates a system in the igniter. A circuit in which the voltage is increased
supplies the high voltage to the lamp, causing a discharge between the electrodes.
- Voltage arc maintenance (take-over): during this phase (a few seconds), the lamp is supplied with an overvoltage. This is necessary
to quickly evaporate the halogen metals in the lamp glass, so that the normal light output is quickly achieved. Under these conditions, the lamp
emits a flash of light at twice the intensity of normal operation for approximately 100 microseconds.
- Warm-up: for about 2 minutes, the control unit regulates the light output depending on the physical state of the lamp by means of the impedance
(closed-loop control).
- Normal operation (steady state): the light beam is continuously controlled in closed-loop, even during normal operation. The igniter is mounted
on the underside of the lamp, while the ballast is in the control unit.
The dynamic headlight adjustment also improves driving comfort, because the illuminated part is kept stable and the eye does not have to adapt
to the change in lighting.
The system consists
of: - a stepper motor for each headlamp.

- two ride height sensors, connected to the right front and rear suspension.
Correction
The beam is adjusted using the signal from the ride height sensors, which provide information about the car's load, as they are connected to the
wheel suspension.
With each "Key-ON" the control unit sets the headlights to an exactly calculated basic position (depending on the vehicle's load). To do this, the
reflector is first directed completely downwards and then placed in the correct position.
The signals from the ride height sensors are regularly adjusted and averaged, so that the position of the headlamps can be adjusted if necessary
(eg when refueling during a ride). This adjustment does not take place immediately, but gradually, so as to avoid unwanted corrections (potholes,
uneven road surface, etc.).
This correction is also made when the lights are turned off, so that the beam is correctly focused when the lights are turned on.
The sensors are attached to the body, but a lever of a certain shape follows the movement of the suspension.
The sensor is fed by the headlamp control unit and provides a linear signal that depends on the position of the suspension in relation to the
body.
Actuator
The regulation takes place by means of a stepper motor in the headlamp unit. It consists of an electric stepper motor and a worm gear, which
converts the rotational movement of the motor into a rectilinear movement of the pin, which is attached to the reflector via a ball joint.
Self-diagnosis
The system's control electronics include a self-diagnosis function that continuously monitors operation.
The control unit performs a continuous self-diagnosis of the system. Any malfunctions are signaled and saved.
The faults stored in the control unit can be read out using the Examiner or other diagnostic equipment.
Recovery
The self-diagnosis function includes a "recovery" function: if faults are detected, the system can no longer work properly, causing the light beam
to dazzle drivers of other cars.
The light beam is then set as low as possible, so that glare cannot occur under any circumstances; however, there is still sufficient light output,
so that a workplace can be reached safely.
The beam is also adjusted downwards if a fault is present or if the control unit is not / incorrectly programmed.
Idle position
If the "master" control unit (in the left headlight) has been replaced, then self-adjustment of the system must be carried out with connected
diagnostic equipment. This automatically resets the system, sets the position of the light beam correctly (position "0") and allows the
necessary settings to be made from this position.

On some versions, the lights are also automatically switched on by the twilight sensor.
This sensor - located on the windscreen behind the interior mirror - is able to detect the differences in ambient light intensity based on the sensitivity set: the
greater the sensitivity, the less outside light is needed to switch on the outside lighting.
The sensitivity of the dusk sensor can be adjusted via the instrument panel settings menu.
If there is a fault with the dusk sensor, the 'general fault' light will illuminate and the information will be shown on the display.

removed). If the lamps remain on, the indicator lamp for the position lamps on the instrument panel will illuminate. You can switch on the lights with the lighting
lever within 2 minutes of turning the key to STOP: activating the lever increases the burn time of the lights by 30 seconds, with a maximum time of 210 seconds.
If the key is turned to MAR or if you continue to pull the lighting lever for a further 2 seconds, this function is deactivated.
The lever has two engagement positions: a temporary position for changing lanes and a fixed position for changing direction.
The locked position has an automatic release that returns the lever to the rest position when the steering wheel is returned to the straight-ahead position.
The unlocked contact opens again when the lever is released.
Lane change function: To indicate a
change of direction, move the left lever to the provisional position for less than half a second; the direction indicator of the selected side will flash 5 times
and then turn off automatically.

INSTRUMENTS
Introduction
The instruments of this car are designed to create a "family feeling" with the other models of the brand with the distinctive illumination of the dials and
the red display.
A sporty version is also available with white illuminated dials.
The instrument panel is located behind the steering wheel.
This arrangement allows the driver to perceive the information to the maximum under all conditions of use of the car (day/night), without
reflections, distortions or double images.
In addition, a "Welcome movement" is applied: an animation of the hands at key-on with a guided turn on of the lights and an animation on the display
Meters
The instrument panel is located behind the steering wheel, is connected to the CAN and consists of four meters equipped with a stepper motor.
A - Electronic Speedometer
B - Fuel Level (with fuel reserve warning light)
C - Coolant Temperature (with Over Temperature Warning Light)
D - Electronic tachometer
E - Display (available in two different versions)
Warning/Control Signals
It is also equipped with numerous LEDs with negative contrast (there are also some installation preparations for signals that can be controlled
directly and/or via the CAN).
Buzzer
A buzzer is incorporated in the instrument panel, which allows warnings of varying intensity (8 levels) to be displayed. The buzzer has the following
functions: - alerting to alarms / warnings / danger - signals from the automatically operated gearbox (if applicable) - signaling from parking sensor (if
fitted)

Speedometer
For safety reasons, the instrument panel indicates a slightly too high speed (6% + 1 km/h, but this increase also depends on the tire size fitted) and never exceeds the maximum
permissible tolerance set in the countries where the cars are sold.
The increase is a calculation performed by the instrument panel.
With Key-on, the gauge will read 0 (zero) km/h (or mph) and the instrument panel will then display the vehicle's speed.
tachometer
With Key-on, the gauge will read 0 (zero)/min and the instrument panel will then display the RPM.
In addition, there is an anti-cycling function for the tachometer when the engine is idling.
fuel gauge
After 2 seconds after Key-on, the gauge will display the fuel level.
The area of the gauge that corresponds to the "fuel reserve" is red and the corresponding light is amber colored and incorporated into the gauge. The meter is adjusted so that the
display is most accurate at the beginning of the red area
After 2 seconds after Key-on, the gauge will display the coolant temperature.
The area of the meter that corresponds to the "danger zone" is red and the corresponding red light is incorporated into the meter. The meter is adjusted so that the display is most
accurate at the beginning of the red area. How the meter works: - If the temperature is lower than 50°C, the pointer moves to the first notch of the scale.

The lighting of the Comfort display is switched on with Key-ON and the brightness is regulated in night mode ("Night mode"); the backlight of the Matrix display is turned on and controlled at
Key-ON ("Day mode" and "Night mode").
The illumination of the symbols and the meters is switched on and controlled in the night mode ("Night mode").
With error messages (except for "Slippery warning" and feedback messages), the display illumination is automatically set to the maximum daytime value, even if night mode is activated.
The instrument panel with light dials has a light sensor to regulate the brightness in the interior. The light sensor is integrated in the instrument panel.
The instrument panel distinguishes between day mode ("Day mode") and night mode ("Night mode") depending on the exterior lighting position (on/off) and the information from the sensor.
If the sensor is not present (versions with dark dials), the difference between the day mode and the night mode of the instrument panel depends solely on the exterior lighting position.
In the day mode ("Day mode"), the display of the Comfort instrument panel is illuminated by 100% and the light intensity (dimming) cannot be adjusted. Control is only possible in night mode
("Night mode").
With the Matrix instrument panel, the brightness (dimming) of the display can also be adjusted in daytime mode.
In night mode, the light intensity of the display is automatically set to a certain value and the symbols and meters are illuminated. The driver can adjust the brightness of the instrument
panel, the car radio, the Radionav and the automatic climate control (on 8 levels) in the setup
menu.
The light intensity cannot be reduced to zero.
When the light intensity is controlled, a special message is shown on the display and the symbols for the light intensity control go on or off.
When all symbols are lit, maximum illumination occurs.
The effect of the setting is immediately visible.

The displayed quantities are shown in the decimal system (km, km/h, km/l, l/100km) or in the imperial system (mi, mph, mpg), depending on the driver's choice (see Setup menu) .
In the Matrix display, when a Trip value is called up using the key, the display is started with a text for 2 seconds and then the text is replaced by a symbol: e.g. the value "range"
Distance traveled [km] or [mi]: The distance of the car from the start of the journey, ie from the moment the driver has reset. The information must match the information on the
odometer. The display is updated every 0.1 km.
Average fuel consumption [l/100km] or [mpg]: Indicates the average consumption from the start of the journey.
Current fuel economy [l/100km] or [mpg]: Indicates the adjusted fuel economy continuously. This allows the driver to identify the difference in fuel consumption
depending on the driving style.
Average speed [km/h] or [mph]: calculated from the start of the trip.
Driving time [hh:mm]: indicates the driving time from the start of the trip between 0:00 and 99:59 with an accuracy of 1 minute; the display changes every minute. When the
maximum possible value is reached, a reset is performed automatically.

These components are also resistant to water.
This concerns a loudspeaker with a double cardboard cone, a plastic support (ABS), ferrite magnet and an aluminum coil support.
Antenna
The antenna construction
consists of: - FM1 rod antenna, placed in the
center of the back of the roof; - FM2 antenna that uses the heating elements of the rear defroster;
- antenna for the telephone (GSM) and navigation system (GPS) on the roof (also for use with Blue&Me
Nav); See descriptions 5580M NAVIGATION SYSTEM - antenna only for the navigation system (GPS)
on the roof (also for RadioNav); The FM2 antenna in the rear window is used in addition to the rod
antenna if the radio or radio navigation system has the PHASE DIVERSITY function. This function is based on a processor for the
internal signal to the radio, which uses the dual antenna to tune to the station with the best signal at all times.
The quality of the FM signal is improved under all limiting conditions, such as distortions of the multipath (multipaths) or interference in the
same channel.
The FM2 signal travels from the rear window defogger wires to a special amplifier and then continues over a coaxial cable to the radio module.
The FM1 signal goes from the rod antenna - which integrates the GSM and GPS antenna on the extended versions - to a special amplifier
integrated into the base of the antenna itself; then it goes with a coaxial cable to the radio module.

Anti-theft code
The radio is mounted during production and connected to the CAN, so that communication can take place with the Body Computer; this is where the anti-theft code
"Exchange Code" is stored.
With each subsequent Key On (and also if the battery is disconnected), an automatic verification procedure is carried out: the radio display shows
Machine Translated by Google
'CANCHECK' displayed. If the 'Exchange Code' check is positive, the system starts working. If the codes are not the same, the display will show a
message asking the user to enter the code manually ("Master Code" - 4 digit code from "1111" to "6666") - as stated on the radio's Code Card.
The "Master Code" is pre-programmed during production, differs per radio and is also different from the "Exchange Code".
Switch on the radio and when the code is requested, the display will show "CODE" for about 2 seconds, followed by four dashes "----".
The secret code consists of four digits from 1 to 6, which must be entered on the dashes.
To enter the first digit, press the appropriate preset button (1-6). Enter the other digits of the code in the same way.
If the fourth digit is not entered within 20 seconds, the display will reappear "CODE" for 2 seconds and then the four dashes "----". This is not
considered as entering a wrong code.
When the fourth digit is entered (within 20 seconds), the radio will work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will beep, the display will show "CODE" for 2 seconds and then four dashes "----" to indicate that the
correct code must be entered.
After three attempts, the radio considers the last code "invalid"; each time an invalid code is entered, the waiting time increases (1 min, 2 min, 4
min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h), until the maximum waiting time of 24 hours has been reached. The waiting time is indicated on
the display as "RADIO BLOCKED, WAIT".
When the display is finished, the code can be entered again.
Code card
This document is the proof of ownership of the radio. The code card shows the model of the radio, the serial number and the secret code.
The procedure for entering the 'Master Code' manually is only necessary when replacing the Body Computer and when installing a radio that
has already been used in another vehicle with CAN network.
A "new" radio (which has never been fitted to any other vehicle) can be fitted using the automatic authentication procedure, where the
"Master Code" does not need to be entered manually.

The current hands-free system with Bluetooth technology is suitable for all mobile phones that support Bluetooth 1.1 and Hands-free Profile 1.0 (for the
specifications of the Bluetooth connection, see the mobile phone manual).
Due to the differences in the available software, with different mobile phone models, some additional functions (e.g.: call waiting, transferring a call
from the hands-free system to the mobile phone and vice versa, etc.) may not work in exactly the same way as is described in the manual of the mobile phone.
Operation
Incoming call:
Machine Translated by Google
- when the phone receives a signal of an incoming call: the radio switches on the mute function, the loudspeakers play the sound signal of the user's mobile phone and the instrument
panel display shows the number/name of the user caller displayed (if available) - at this point the user accepts or rejects the call - during the call, the user listens through the audio
system and speaks through the microphone - when the call is ended, the radio returns to the situation of before the call (volume, mode, etc.)
During the call, the user can perform the following actions: - adjust the volume of
the call using the Vol+ and Vol- buttons on the radio. The set level is reset after the call ends: the next call is made at the default radio volume. - transfer the call from the Bluetooth
control unit to the mobile phone (and vice versa) for a private conversation - temporarily interrupt the conversation (hold function) for a private conversation with a passenger in
the car, without the caller can listen in on the phone - answer another call and switch between calls - reject an incoming call The last 2 functions of this list depend on the
presence on the GSM network, the user's profile and whether the mobile phone has the specifications and the ability to handle 2 calls simultaneously.
Outgoing call
The user can make a call in 4 ways - using the mobile phone
keys
- using the last calls list - using the
mobile phone's calendar - by saying the number
to be called.
Media player
The Blue&Me multimedia player allows you to play digital audio from a USB memory device through the audio system in your car, by connecting it to the USB port on the bottom of
the center console next to the power strip/cigarette lighter.

The front airbag - on the driver's side and on the passenger side - has a double detonator whose activation parameters are automatically adjusted
according to the severity of the collision: - in the event of a less severe collision, the control unit triggers the airbag's first deployment phase in such a
way that the occupant is not injured by the released energy. - in more severe collisions, the second phase is activated with a very small delay compared
to the first phase. This absorbs the kinetic energy of the occupant before it comes into contact with the steering wheel. - in addition, in the event of a
moderate impact, the second stage is also activated after a certain time, so that the charge is consumed.
The airbag system components are designed for a particular vehicle. Therefore, they are NOT ALLOWED to be repaired, modified or installed in any
other type of vehicle.
For safety reasons NO checks of the cables for interruptions are allowed.
TURNING OFF MUST BE PERFORMED WITH THE SETUP FUNCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOT THE KEY.
When the function is deactivated, the corresponding light on the instrument panel comes on.
If the car is fitted with sidebags, and the passenger's front airbag is deactivated, the associated sidebag module is also deactivated.
STRUCTURE
The system consists of the following
components: - an electronic control unit; - two
front airbags - for driver and passenger - with "dual activation" (Dual Stage); - a driver's
knee airbag with "single activation"; - an additional ECS sensor (Early Crash Sensor) for
detecting a collision;
- two sidebags for the front seats;
- two head bags to protect the occupants in the event of a side impact;
- two sidebag sensors in the side pillars; - two electronic pretensioners
on the front seat belt retractors. - two electronic pretensioners on the attachment
point near the front seat belt sill.
To indicate the functioning of the system are provided: -
warning light for system faults on the instrument panel; - passenger airbag
deactivated warning light on the instrument panel; - warning light for unfastened
seat belt on the instrument panel; - display seat belt not fastened (also behind); -
connection via the B-CAN to the diagnostic plug to check the function using the EXAMINER.

The control unit is the central processing unit of the occupant protection system and is solidly connected to the underbody of the car at the tunnel. It controls
all signaling and activation components of the system, by processing the signals provided by the sensors. The sensors are located in various places in the
car and in the control unit.
The control unit must always be mounted with the arrow on the sticker in the direction of travel of the vehicle.
Always check that there are no objects between the control unit and the bodywork before tightening the bolts with torque.
If the control module falls to the floor or is subjected to strong impacts, it MUST be replaced.
Machine Translated by Google
Structure
The control unit has an electronic deceleration sensor which, in combination with the ECS sensor at the front and sidebag sensors in the sides of the car and associated
calculation software, regulates the activation of the front airbags, the sidebags and the belt tensioners.
Operation
Frontal impact: In
the event of a less severe impact, the control unit activates the first activation phase of the front airbags in such a way that the occupant is not injured by the released
energy.
In the event of severe collisions, the control unit switches on both phases almost simultaneously, so that as much kinetic energy from the occupant as possible is
absorbed before it hits the steering wheel or dashboard.
Side impact: If
a side impact is detected, the control unit is also able to determine its direction and severity and engage the sidebags and pretensioners on the side of the impact. To provide
total side impact protection, two sidebag sensors are used in both center pillars.
In the event of a side impact, the sidebag sensors register the deceleration as a result of the collision and supply a signal to the control unit, which uses the software
program to regulate the activation of the sidebags and the seat belt pretensioners.
The sidebags and headbags (Window bags) fire simultaneously and independently of the front airbags.
The control unit, after activating one of the systems (pretensioners, front airbags, side and head bags), stores the activation in the non-erasable memory and illuminates
the malfunction warning lamp on the instrument panel.
The control unit guarantees the activation of the individual components, during a maximum of: - 3 collisions
where only the belt tensioners are activated; - 3 collisions in which the side and head bags are activated (right or
left); - 1 collision in which the pretensioners and front airbags were deployed; - a combination of the above
options, until one of the maximums is reached.
If one of the maximums is not reached, after the working parts of the system have been restored, the control unit can be used again, if first a RESET procedure is performed
with the EXAMINER. After the last activation, reaching the maximum, no further recovery procedures can be performed.

Self-diagnosis
The control unit performs a continuous self-diagnosis of the system. In particular:
- recognition and storage of possible malfunctions; - diagnosis of the connection
to the system components and, if necessary, the nature of the malfunction; - warn of a
detected malfunction by a lit lamp on the instrument panel.
The faults stored in the control unit can be cleared with the Examiner after the fault has been repaired.
The control unit must be replaced in the event of a failure due to an internal fault in the control unit.
Specifications
The driver's side airbag is a passive safety system, which consists of a cushion that inflates between the driver and the body in the event of a
frontal impact. The airbag module is located in the steering wheel hub and the cover also serves as a control unit for the horns.
Structure
The module consists
of: - a plastic cover, which tears when the module is activated, allowing the cushion to inflate properly; - a
60-litre cushion made of nylon fabric to minimize skin abrasions and folds so that inflation is gradual and not directly towards the driver; - a
pyrotechnic gas generator; - a plastic housing;
Machine Translated by Google
Operation
The airbag is inflated by a gas generator, which has two activation phases and can be used separately depending on the severity of the collision.
The gas generator is activated with two electrical resistors, which ignite the ignition substance in the generator, causing the cushion to
inflate.
The fully inflated airbag is in the correct position to accommodate the occupant. The cushion deflates immediately, thanks to the two
openings on the underside of the cushion. These openings also serve to "soften" the occupant's contact with the cushion, thus preventing
abrasions.
SPIRAL MECHANISM
The image shows the spiral mechanism.
Specifications
The spiral mechanism transmits the electrical signal from the steering wheel controls (horn and optionals) and connects the airbag module
without the risk of cable breakage.
The system is provided with two plates, the lower one is fixed to the steering column switch and the upper one is fixed to the steering wheel.
Between the two plates, the connecting cables of the module and the horn switches are wound in a spiral, so that the movements of the steering
wheel can be followed.
Structure
On the steering wheel side, the spiral mechanism has three cables, two of which are for connection to the airbag module (1st and 2nd stage) and
one for connection to the electrical functions of the steering wheel (horn, radio).
There is a locking ring on the steering wheel side of the top plate, which automatically blocks the rotation between the two plates when the
system is removed from the steering wheel. A new system is always delivered with a safety pin for transport. The pin must be removed after assembly.
Operation
Between the two plates, the connecting cables of the module and the horn switches are wound in a spiral shape. The number of strokes is
sufficient to follow the movements of the steering wheel.
The rotation of the top plate takes place through the connections in the locking ring, which engage the seats in the steering wheel hub. In the
operating position, the steering wheel presses on the ring and releases the fasteners, allowing the plates to rotate relative to each other.
When the steering wheel is removed, a spring compresses the ring and the rotation between the two plates is blocked. This prevents the top
plate, which is no longer connected to the steering wheel, from rotating freely, which could cause the internal cables to unwind or break and to break.
The following precautions must be observed when carrying out work that requires the removal of the steering wheel and the system: - always
put the front wheels in the straight ahead position beforehand; - always fix the two plates with a cable tie before removing the mechanism
from the steering wheel.
If the spiral mechanism is used again, the two plates must be secured with a cable tie so that they cannot twist with respect to each other.
If for any reason the top plate twists relative to the bottom one and the original position cannot be accurately retraced, the spiral mechanism
MUST be replaced.
Specifications
The passenger airbag module is a passive safety system that protects the passenger in the front seat in the event of a frontal impact by means of a cushion
between the occupant and the dashboard.
Structure
The module consists
of: - a plastic housing; -
a cushion with a capacity of approximately 120 liters made of nylon fabric, so as to limit abrasions on contact with the skin, and folded in such a way that
it does not inflate directly towards the occupant; - a pyrotechnic gas generator.
Operation
The airbag is inflated by a gas generator, which has two activation phases and can be used separately depending on the severity of the collision.
The gas generator is activated with two electrical resistors, which ignite the ignition substance in the generator, causing the cushion to inflate.
When the cushion is inflated, the cover integrated in the dashboard opens on the fracture lines. The fully inflated airbag is in the correct position to
accommodate the occupant.
The interconnection in the airbag and its dimensions and operation are designed in such a way that a maximum volume is created in relation to the
interior, so that the injuries of the occupants are limited in the event of a collision.
When the function is switched on, an indicator light on the instrument panel remains on.
Specifications
To provide the occupants with maximum protection in the event of a side impact, two sidebags are fitted in the front seats.
Due to this arrangement, the airbag is always in the correct position in relation to the occupant, regardless of the seat position or the occupant's posture.
The sidebag protects the upper body and, together with the door panels, critical parts of the body such as the ribs and abdomen.
The arrangement in the seat ensures that the maximum effect is always achieved, regardless of the position of the seat, even if the occupant has not
been seated correctly. The method of inflating the cushion minimizes the risk of injury from contact with the car body.
Do not cover the backrests of the front seats with fabric or covers.
Do not wash the back of the chair with pressurized water or steam.
Structure
The sidebag consists
of: - a metal holder;
- a gas generator; -
a nylon cushion with a volume of approximately 12
litres; - a plastic cover.
When the system is activated, the lid ruptures at predetermined points, allowing the cushion to inflate properly.
The module is connected to the electrical installation with a yellow cable. This cable is housed in a cable duct together with the ground cable of the chair.
The gutter is attached to the seat frame.
Operation
The gas generator is switched on electrically with a signal from the control unit. Following this signal, a pyrotechnic igniter in the generator is ignited,
causing the gas in the generator to expand. The expanding gas flows through the openings causing the cushion to inflate. When inflated, the seams
tear that easily separate from the backrest cover, allowing the cushion to inflate properly.
The fully inflated airbag is in the correct position to accommodate the occupant.
No work can be carried out on a seat with an airbag, except for removing and installing the seat.
It is absolutely forbidden to disassemble seats with airbags.
HEADBAG
Machine Translated by Google
Specifications
The headbags deploy at the same time as the sidebags and position themselves between the occupant and the vehicle, preventing contact between
the head and dangerous components such as windows, pillars, etc.
The headbags run from the front pillar to the luggage compartment and protect both the front and rear occupants; the "curtain" version offers the
best performance, thanks to the large effective surface area and the self-aligning effect, even without supporting the cushion.
Structure
The headbag module
consists of: - a gas generator mounted on the rear pillar with
two brackets; - a metal connecting tube between the gas
generator and the pad; - a cushion with a volume of approximately 30 liters, made of permeable nylon fabric and folded in a tubular housing. The
cushion is designed in such a way that the fully inflated cushion correctly absorbs the impact energy and keeps the occupants' head a sufficient
distance from the impact zone; after the cushion is fully inflated, it deflates immediately, thanks to the permeability of the fabric. - plastic clips for
attaching the cushion to the roof molding; - plastic fasteners for the airbag on the car; - a retaining strap mounted on the front pillar to keep the
inflated cushion in the correct position.
Operation
The gas generator is switched on electrically with a signal from the control unit. Following this signal, a pyrotechnic igniter in the generator is ignited,
causing the gas in the generator to expand.
The expanding gas flows through orifices and is evenly distributed along the entire length causing the cushion to inflate.
As the cushion expands, the seams of the tubular housing break and the cover opens, allowing the cushion to properly inflate downwards.
Correct positioning of the cushion is ensured by a fastening strap on the end at the front of the cushion.
The fully inflated airbag is in the correct position to accommodate the occupant.
After the cushion is inflated by the gas, it immediately deflates, thanks to the permeability of the fabric.

BELT TENSIONERS
Specifications
The pretensioner is a pyrotechnic system integrated into the seat belt retractor, which can be electrically activated with a signal from the
control unit. The control strategy for deploying the airbags is also applied to the seat belt pretensioners.
The belt tensioners absorb any stretching of the belt, pulling the occupant against the backrest during the first moments of the impact,
reducing displacement in the passenger compartment.
The belts are also fitted with tensile force limiters, which reduce the force of the belt on the upper body: the force at which the limiters
operate ensures that the risk of fractures of the shoulder blades and ribs also in people with fragile bones (e.g. the elderly days) is significantly
reduced.
Operation
The following figure shows the belt tensioner mechanism on the retractor.
1 - Gas
generator 2 -
Plug 3 - Strap
4 - Automatic
retractor If a car deceleration of a sufficiently high value is detected, measured by the system deceleration sensors, the electronic sensor
in the control unit sends an ignition signal for the pyrotechnic charges of the gas generators. Burning the fuel creates an (inert) gas, the
pressure of which exerts a force on the piston upwards. As a result, the direction of rotation of the retractor is made opposite to the
extension of the belt webbing, so that the belt webbing is rolled up a few centimetres.
After activation, the belt tensioners remain blocked and must be replaced.
The combined action of the two belt tensioners, acting at different points, almost completely eliminates the belt stretch; this reduces the
forward sliding of the occupant on the seat ("submarining").

Unfastened seat belt warning light ("basic" version showing only the front seat belts)
The "seat belt" light indicates an unfastened seat belt (driver's or passenger's side) by illuminating continuously at Key-ON.
The light starts flashing and there is first a steady beep for 6 s and then an intermittent beep for 90 s if one of the following conditions occurs: - Trip
duration 50 s and speed above 10 km/h - Vehicle speed higher than 20 km/h - Distance traveled longer than 400 m If the belt is fastened during the cycle,
the warning cycle is automatically interrupted and only repeated if a seat belt not fastened is detected again. The cycle is also interrupted if reverse gear
is engaged (only the warning light remains on) and is repeated only if a seatbelt not fastened again is detected at a speed above 10 km/h.
The driver can temporarily disable the warning cycle (the warning is reactivated after each Key-OFF for 1 minute), by fastening the seat belt(s) for Key-
ON, keeping them fastened for at least 20 seconds at Key-ON and then take off within 1 minute of Key ON.
The user can only permanently disable the warning cycle by the dealer.
The switch-off procedure must be carried out using the diagnostic tool (Examiner) via a dialogue with the instrument panel.
It is not possible to switch off the display using the warning lamp on the instrument panel. This always remains permanently lit when the seat belt is
not fastened.
The driver can reactivate the warning cycle (if it is permanently disabled) at the dealer or using an item in the Setup menu. This item disappears when the
warning cycle is re-enabled.
Indication of seat belt not fastened (complete version, also for rear belts)
On some versions there is a display above the interior mirror that visually and acoustically warns all passengers (including those in the rear seats) if the
seat belt is not correctly fastened.
The two lights on the side indicate the situation in the front seats, and the three lights in the middle indicate the situation in the rear seats.
The lights are red and green and operate as
follows: - off when the ignition switch is turned to MAR with the seat belts fastened; -
red if the seat belts have not been fastened before; - flashing red (only the lights for the
rear seats) if the front seat belts are not fastened; - green when the seat belts are fastened.
If only the driver is in the car and all seat belts are not fastened, the first four lights are red and the last green.
The three center lights will flash for about 30 seconds, the rest will glow red.
The operation of the lamps associated with the front and rear seats is not the same:
Driver:
If only the driver is present and the speed is exceeded 20 km/h or at a speed between 10 km/h and 20 km/h for more than 5 seconds, an audible warning
cycle starts for the front seats (a continuous sound signal during the first 6 seconds followed by single signals "beep" for 90 seconds) and the light flashes.
When the cycle is complete, the remaining lights will remain on until the engine is turned off.
The audible signal is immediately interrupted when the driver's seat belt is fastened and the warning light turns green.
If the belt is then removed again during the journey, the acoustic signal sounds and the light flashes as described above.
Passenger:
The situation is similar to the front passenger, with the difference that the light turns green and the signal is interrupted even if the passenger leaves the
car.
If both front belts are removed one after the other while the car is moving, the sound signal applies to the last belt removed, the two lamps indicate the
situation separately.
Rear seats
For the rear seats, it is only indicated if one of the seat belts is removed. In this situation, the off-seat belt light will flash for approximately 30
seconds.
In addition, an acoustic signal sounds.
If several belts are removed, this situation is displayed independently per belt per lamp.
All lights will always remain on if at least one front seat is seated and a seat belt is not fastened.
All lights go off (after 30 seconds after the last seat belt is removed) when all front seats are occupied, regardless of the rear seat belts.
All lights illuminate when at least one seat belt is removed or fastened. All lights remain off if all seat belts are fastened during starting.

ALARM SYSTEM
The alarm system consists
of: - perimeter protection, -
interior protection, - tilt
detection, - protection
against cutting power cables.
The operation of the system is controlled by the body computer, which sends/receives commands over the serial link.
The system is turned on/off using the remote control via a receiver in the NBC. The remote control and receiver operate on a radio frequency.
The control unit has self-diagnosis that detects and stores faults in the control unit and the connected components; in addition, the connection
cables are checked and the number of times the alarm has been activated and sounded is saved.
The control strategy of the control unit can be adapted to the requirements for anti-theft alarm systems in different countries.

Operation
The alarm has 8 different positions:
- TURNED OFF;
- REST MODE;
- ARMING;
Machine Translated by Google
-
SURVEILLANCE;
- ALARM; - POWER
OFF; - PROGRAMMING;
- DIAGNOSIS.
These modes are described in the following sections.
Turned off
The disabled state is the state the BC (body computer) is in every time the stored key is recognized by the ALFA ROME CODE.
Idle position
The idle state is the default state in which the alarm system is.
From this position you can switch to the following positions: -
diagnosis: when a diagnosis is performed using the diagnosis instrument connected to the body
computer. - monitoring: if an arming command has enabled the system to monitor the vehicle -
disarming: if a stored key is recognized by ALFA ROMEO CODE.
In the idle state, the body computer continues to receive the +15 signal, preventing it from entering the monitoring phase, and then, the
alarm phase.
This information distinguishes between the two basic idle states: auto is used (+15 present) or auto exit (+15 not present); the last position precedes
the monitoring phase.
In the rest position, within one minute after "KEY-OFF", the interior security and the tilt detection can be manually switched off.
activation
If the control commands are not responded to within the specified time, the module in question is considered not working.
Checking the probability of the status of the switch doors (2 or 4), hood and tailgate (perimeter protection): if one of the inputs is not closed properly,
this input is not monitored by the system.
DISPLAY DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION:
Activation problems are indicated by the instrument panel light at the next Key-ON.
Self-arming
The self-arming methods depend on the operation of the system (see country map table "PASSIVE SELF-ARMING" and "KEY-OFF SELF-ARMING").
From self-arming, the monitoring of all inputs is complete; it is possible to: - switch
the volumetric monitoring on or off.
Machine Translated by Google
Restart
Upon re-arming, the alarm system can automatically switch from idle mode to monitoring if, after an authorized disarm, no door, bonnet, or tailgate has
been opened or other associated operations have been performed.
The re-arming procedure is as follows: - The
alarm system is disarmed.
- The restart counter starts counting.
- If a transition is detected from open to closed door, bonnet or tailgate, re-engagement is cancelled.
- The counter reaches the value "SELF SWITCHING DURATION".
- The alarm is armed, taking into account the components that were disabled during the last activation (motion detection, siren...).
Surveillance
During the monitoring phase, the body computer performs the following operations:
- CHECKING +15 SIGNAL The body computer receives the information if the +15
signal is present: if the +15 signal is not detected for 100 ms and the shutdown command is not given, the body computer interprets this as
an attempted theft and activates the alarm phase.
- TAKING EXTERNAL MODULES OUT OF OPERATION AT LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE If
the battery voltage drops below 8.5V for more than 30 minutes, the body computer will disable the external modules (motion/tilt sensors) to extend battery
life and ensure that the engine starts next time.
- perimeter protection The
body computer monitors the status of the 4 doors, the hood and the tailgate: if one of these inputs changes status for more than 500 ms, the body
computer switches to the alarm phase.
- PROTECTION AGAINST FALSE ALARM CAUSED BY RESETTING THE BODY COMPUTER During the
monitoring phase, an external fault or an attempted intrusion may reset the body computer, thereby reinitializing its functions.
In this case, the body computer checks whether the alarm was already armed before the reset, so that the external modules can be switched on again,
except for the modules that were switched off during the last switching on.
- ARMING THE ALARM During the
monitoring phase, the alarm can be activated both by the perimeter protection and by the external modules or by the siren (if cables are cut).
Upon receipt of an alarm enable signal, the body computer immediately enters the alarm stage and performs the determined cycles for the type of alarm
signal received.
Alarm
If one of the monitoring sensors detects an abnormal situation (attempted or actual intrusion, attempted or theft of the car), the alarm system switches
to the alarm phase.
The alarm phase is characterized by optical/acoustic signals (siren is activated and direction indicators flash).
SIGNALING The
signaling consists of a sequence of "alarm cycles".
The respective parameters are described in the table "Operation".
The type, number and duration of the alarm cycles depend on the operation of the system and are controlled by the body computer: the siren can only be
switched on (audible signals) and deactivated (audible signals interruption).
For example, if three alarm cycles are performed for a duration of 26 sec. and at 6 sec intervals, the body computer behaves in the following manner: -
Turn on turn signals and turn on command to the siren with corresponding configuration parameters for the sound output.
- After 26 sec. turn off turn signals and turn off command to the siren.
- Waiting time of 6 sec.
- Repeat the previous points until the prescribed cycles are completed.
STORING ALARM CAUSES For
diagnostic purposes, the alarm causes recognized by the body computer are stored.
The body computer stores the last 10 alarm causes in a table and associates with each cause the status of the alarm system at the time of arming.
- +15
- cut cable +30 - cracking
siren with wrong siren disable command - cracking external
modules with disable command for motion/tilt sensors - wrong heart beat
For each alarm cause, the status of the system is stored and described as follows: - left door
open - right door open - bonnet open - tailgate open - system armed with self-arming - system
armed with remote control - motion sensor defective
Machine Translated by Google
Shutdown
The system can be disarmed during both the monitoring and alarm phases.
To do this, press the button on the transmitter that instructs the body computer to disarm the alarm system according to the following procedure: disarming is
indicated by two flashes of the direction indicators with a frequency of 1 Hz and two beeps (signaling depends on how the system works).
This signaling is activated within 100 ms after receiving the disarm command: - the siren is
disarmed. - the external modules are switched off. - the body computer interrupts the perimeter
protection and, if provided, all measures taken.
During production, the car-mounted alarm system can be configured, indicating the presence/absence of the following modules: - siren; - motion sensors; -
tilt detection module.
This information can be read, but not changed, using diagnostic equipment. This equipment adapts the diagnosis procedure to the existing settings.
The settings are transferred to the body computer using the vehicle's "Adjustment Procedure" (PROXI).
Programming Operation
In the programming state, the body computer can store the operation of the system in the EEPROM memory.
This allows the alarm system to be adapted to the legal provisions indicated in the "operation" table.
Programming mode is accessible from idle mode.

It is possible to switch between markets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 by means of diagnostic equipment or with a manual procedure.
It is not possible to declare the market authorized/unauthorized by entering the value 0.
The body computer diagnoses the operation of the serial link to the siren and the external modules and checks for ground shorts, shorts to battery voltage and open
circuits.
The diagnostic check on the serial link is performed the moment communication is activated, ie when the alarm system is armed.
The diagnosis of the external modules is performed when the system is turned on using diagnostic commands from which the following information is obtained: There are no
diagnostic checks present on the perimeter protection switch.
The diagnostic data received at the time of power up is stored in the EEPROM memory to facilitate repair of the system.
Active diagnosis
While performing the diagnosis, the body computer may be asked to perform a diagnostic check on the external modules: the body computer then sends the appropriate
command and transfers the result to the diagnostic instrument.
If during this procedure the body computer fails to connect to the module, the response to the diagnostic tool will be: - serial connection interrupted - module not
responding.
In the same way, a diagnostic check can be performed on the serial link, which may have the following results: OK, ground short or short to battery voltage.
It is also possible to read the table of alarm causes stored by the body computer.
Recovery
If an external module (motion sensors, tilt sensor,...) is found not to be working, it is disabled during the entire monitoring phase.
At the next power up of the system, the diagnostic check is performed again on the modules that must be reactivated if they are determined to be working.
Components
Siren theft protection
The siren (stand-alone) is connected to the rest of the system via: - a separate
serial connection between the body computer and the siren; - a power supply
for the siren and the internal battery charger.
The siren is capable of responding to the diagnostic messages sent by the Body Computer (internal self-diagnosis).
The siren is located under the fender in the engine compartment.

The motion and tilt sensors are mounted in the ceiling light in the interior.
The motion sensors are equipped with a receiver and an ultrasonic transmitter that are integrated in a module. The module is again connected to
the anti-theft control unit.
The tilt sensor detects changes in the longitudinal and transverse angle of the car.
Both sensors can be disabled (simultaneously and not separately) using the appropriate switch.
Recipient
The following functions can be activated via the body computer with the remote control/receiver: - central
locking/unlocking of the doors and, if present, opening/closing of the windows, - arming/disarming any
alarm system.
The remote control consists of:
- transmitter: integrated in the key: it works with a radio wave and sends a variable code to the receiver. The transmitter has three function keys and an
LED to monitor code transmission and battery status. - receiver: (radio wave) integrated in the Body Computer with an operating frequency has 433.92
MHz.
The receiver is placed in the Body Computer and is equipped with a wire antenna that extends out of the Body Computer.
The receiver has the following
functions: - receiving, encoding and processing the signal from the remote
control; - store channels (maximum 8); - providing the door locking and
unlocking commands (supplying the flashing output signal); - switching the theft alarm on and off; The remote control and receiver have
two functions: - switch on; - Switch off.
The switch-on command requires the button on the transmitter to be pressed: it is signaled by the lighting (2.5 sec.) of the direction indicators
(this display method can be stored in the EEPROM).
Switching on is never possible (except during diagnosis) if the +15 signal of the ignition switch on is present.
When the button is pressed, the flashing frequency of the LED of the transmitter is 3 Hz.
The transmitter will perform the full transmission of the variable code if the key is pressed for at least 50 ms.
If the button is kept pressed continuously, the transmitter will stop after 20 sec. the transmission; for transmission, the key must be released
and then pressed again.
If the receiver signals a continuously transmitted signal (the received code is always the same), the mode changes once and cannot be switched
continuously.
1 - Mechanical key 2
- Door lock/unlock and alarm arm/disarm keys ARMING The
receiver receives the variable code and determines whether this
code matches one of the codes stored during programming.
If the code is recognised, the receiver commands the doors to be locked and the transition from the rest mode to the anti-theft alarm monitoring
phase on a body computer prepared for this.
With body computer with anti-theft alarm, if the car was previously locked with the mechanical key, when the transmitter button is activated, the
body computer must activate the door lock and alarm in accordance with the following: - doors locked with key and alarm deactivated (auto-arm
time not yet expired): no door lock action and no alarm setting; - doors locked with key and alarm activated (automatic activation time has already
expired): door unlocking (opening) and deactivation of the alarm; - doors unlocked and alarm disarmed (automatic activation time not yet expired):
doors locking and alarm activation; - doors unlocked and alarm enabled (auto-arm time expired): no door lock action and alarm disarmed.
POWER OFF
The receiver receives the disarm command from the transmitter and sends a message to the Body
Computer which: - provides the command to unlock the doors. - enables the transition from monitoring
phase to rest position with a prepared body computer.
To switch off, the transmitter button must be pressed: this is indicated by the direction indicators flashing twice at a frequency of 1 Hz, dc 50%
(permission/blocking function stored in the EEPROM).
Disarming is also allowed if the +15 signal is present.
The receiver provides the unlock command according to the same principle as described in the arming section (of course only if the lock status is
activated).
In addition, the theft alarm is disabled (if equipped).

ALFA CODE
To block the engine operation, the cars are equipped with an electronic system called ALFA ROMEO CODE.
With ALFA ROMEO CODE, the engine can only be started using the Injection Control Unit (NCM) if a previously stored secret code is received.
The second generation CODE system is integrated into the Node Body Computer (NBC).
The ALFA ROMEO CODE consists, in addition to the body computer that serves as the control unit, of the
following parts: - C-CAN connection for communication between the Body Computer and the Node
Injection Control Unit: - Node Injection Control Unit. - electronic key with a transponder with a secret code;
- antenna that reads the code of the transponder in the keys;
Operation
The ALFA ROMEO CODE allows the control of engine operation by the NCM through a codified connection between NBC and NCM during the
pre-start phase.
With the ignition switched on, the NCM sends a request for the code to the NBC, which only answers if, via the antenna, a known electronic key has
been recognized in the lock.
If the secret code is valid, the NCM continues with the usual engine control functions, allowing the engine to be started.
The NCM can only store the secret code with a special procedure.
Dialog between injection control unit node and alfa romeo code
The connection between the ALFA ROMEO CODE Control Unit (NBC) and the NCM is made by the C-CAN.
All exchange of information between the ALFA ROMEO CODE and the NCM is controlled by the NCM (the NBC never interrogates the NCM, but
only responds to a request from the NCM).
From the moment the ignition is turned on, the exchange of codes between the NBC and the NCM is dependent on the status (empty or stored) of
the NCM.
If the NCM is empty, then the NBC is requested for the secret code: in that case the NCM receives and stores the secret code. This procedure is
called CODE RECORDING.
If codes are stored in the NCM, then the correspondence between the codes stored in the injection control module and the NBC is checked.

Code recording
CODE RECORDING is the storage of the secret codes in the injection control unit.
When the NBC has stored the identification codes and secret codes, the system is ready to fulfill the request for a code from the still empty NCM.
The injection control unit initializes the software after "key-ON" and receives (if empty) the secret codes.
If the NBC is not empty, then the secret codes are requested, but only if a key is recognized. If a key is not recognized or if no key is present, the NBC will
not respond.
If the NBC is empty and there is no Transponder in the key and the NCM requests the secret codes, the NBC will not respond.
Code verify
This is the standard procedure performed during the life of the car whenever the driver inserts a key in the ignition and turns it to MAR (key-ON): this
procedure allows the engine to be started if the key is inserted and known .
The "code-verify" procedure, if not yet completed, continues even if the driver turns the ignition switch to AVV.
After the ignition is turned to MAR (key-ON), the NBC recognizes the Transponder in the key as a known Transponder.
At the same time, with ignition key on MAR or AVV, the NCM initializes the software and checks whether secret codes have already been stored. If this is
the case, a request is sent to the NBC.
If the Transponder is not recognized (invalid Transponder, no Transponder in key, etc.), the NBC sends a negative response to the injection control
unit.
In response to this request, the NBC transmits the encrypted secret codes to the injection control unit, provided the Transponder is known.
If the NBC is empty and the NCM sends a request for the secret codes, the NBC sends a positive response, provided a Transponder is recognized.
The communication between body computer and NCM takes place with the following two CAN messages:
- Request real estate code (sent from NCM and received by NBC)
- Reply immo-CODE (sent from NBC and received by NCM)
Protection Codes
Listed below are the protection codes used by the NBC and NCM - UNIVERSAL CODE:
The code sent by the empty NBC to the NCM when a recognized Transponder is present in the key. The "vehicle protection" light will flash at a frequency
of 1.6 Hz and a duty cycle of 50%. The flashing light indicates that the system is properly connected and working, but the vehicle is not code protected.
- SECRET CODES: These are fixed codes in the Transponder. It is stored in the Transponder in the keys of the car during the programming of the Transponder
and in the NBC during the programming of the keys during production.
- ELECTRONIC CODE (PIN): it is printed on the CODE CARD. The CODE CARD is handed over to the owner of the car and is a 5 digit decimal code (the 0 is not
allowed). It is used to protect the NBC's memory for reprogramming or to program new remote controls and/or perform certain diagnostics.
- IDENTIFICATION CODE: This is a fixed code in the Transponder. Each Transponder has its own code. This is stored in the NBC during programming. The
NBC maintains a table of authorized and expired identification codes
Body computer
THE ALFA ROMEO CODE is an internal function in the Node Body Computer (NBC).
The main functions of ALFA ROMEO CODE are: -
recognizing that a key is inserted and turned in the ignition (MAR); - communicate with
the Transponder in the key via the CODE antenna; - store up to 8 identification codes; -
storing the secret codes; - maintain a list of 4 permanently expired identification codes;
- control CAN to the injection control unit; - control the light on the instrument panel
through the connection to the instrument panel;

Antenna
The antenna consists of a toroidal antenna coil with a plug integrated with the antenna
housing The connecting cables to the NBC are integrated in the dashboard cable bundle The
antenna is powered by the NBC to energize the transponder in the key Because the antenna
(due to the electromagnetic resistance, the small dimensions and the limited transponder range) should come as close as possible to the
transponder, it is mounted around the ignition switch.

Reprogramming keys
Reprogramming the keys allows the NBC to store the known keys.
Machine Translated by Google
Both the new keys to be programmed and those already programmed must be inserted into the ignition so that they are recognized by the NBC:
it stores in the identification code table those present during the procedure and switches off the identification codes that are no longer present.
If an authorized key is no longer present (lost, stolen or not working), then the next time the keys are programmed (if this key is no longer present),
the relevant key will be canceled.
The NBC then maintains a table in the EEPROM, in which the data of 4 expired keys are stored: in this table are placed the identification
codes of the known keys, which were not present during programming.
If the table with the expired keys is full, any new key will replace the first key entered in the table.
This table can be used to determine which keys have been used with the car.
Reprogramming keys
The reprogramming of the keys is carried out/supervised by the Diagnostic device EXAMINER: the procedure is enabled via a PINCODE-protected
access on the car.
Follow the instructions on the diagnostic tool/EXAMINER.
Up to 8 known keys can be programmed.
At some point, using the Diagnostic Tool/EXAMINER, a lost key can be erased from the memory. The identifier of this key is transferred to the
expired identifiers table and is no longer recognized.
Code card
On the card are indicated:
- The emergency code "electronic code", with which the Dealer can program the electronic keys (TEGs) and the remote controls using the
EXAMINER. - the mechanical code of the emergency keys (mechanical code), which indicates the mechanical profile of the key and must be stated
when ordering in order to receive a key in the correct form.
Operation
The emergency code "electronic code" is also used in system diagnosis and other work with the Examiner or similar equipment.
Many of these operations (eg "Saving keys") can only be performed after entering this code.
Therefore, before carrying out any work, the Code Card must be obtained from the customer.
To prevent theft, the CODE Card may not be left in the car.
Diagnose
The ALFA ROMEO CODE allows a self-diagnosis of parts of the system to be performed.
The NBC can signal the following faults and store them in the EEPROM:
Transponder: - defective or absent or with incorrect secret code -
erased/disabled - not recognized/not saved Antenna for transponder:
- electrical connection defective (interruption, earth short or short
circuit to the battery voltage)

GENERAL
The "Parking aid" provides the driver with information about the distance, when reversing, to an obstacle that is approached; the system is a parking
aid that detects obstacles out of the driver's view.
The information on the presence and distance of an obstacle is transmitted to the driver by means of an acoustic signal, the frequency of which
depends on the distance to the obstacle (if the distance to the obstacle decreases, the frequency of the acoustic signal).
Display on the instrument panel (only on display MATRIX)
If the rear parking sensors are activated while parking, the following image is shown on the display:
When the vehicle approaches obstacles, the affected areas illuminate. There are 8 areas.
Distance measurement only takes place when the system is armed. If the system is not armed, only the Control Unit is armed.
The parking sensor system consists of the following
components: - electronic control unit - ultrasonic sensors in
the rear bumper - buzzer in the instrument panel which is
built into the instrument panel.
REAR SENSORS:
USAGE
Turn system on and off
The control unit processes the information from the sensors and activates the two buzzers (or the buzzer in the instrument panel) to warn of the
presence of any obstacles.
The displayed pitch from the speakers indicates that the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. The sound lasts 75 ms, while the pause between the tones
is directly proportional to the distance from the obstacles: if the signals come in quick succession, an object is very close. A continuous tone indicates
that the distance to the obstacle is less than 30 cm.
The sound signal stops immediately when the distance to the obstacle increases. The display of the tones remains the same if the distance
measured by the middle sensors remains the same. If this situation occurs with the side sensors, the signal will be interrupted after 3 seconds (to
prevent the sound from continuing when driving past a wall).
The control unit operates the sensors, which convert the electrical signals from the control unit into ultrasonic pulse sequences, taking between 3
and 10 measurements per second.
The signal reflected by a possible obstacle is received by the sensor, amplified, converted into a digital signal and sent in this form to the control
unit.
The control unit compares the transmitted signal with the received signal and calculates the time between sending the signal and receiving the
echo. This information is converted into a distance and passed on to the driver by means of sound signals.

When the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the "first threshold distance to the obstacle" will be the distance at which the system produces the first
beeps and then the distance will be used as the "second threshold distance to the obstacle", with the audible signal being continuous.
The distances described are measured perpendicular to the bumper up to the point concerned.
The reference obstacle is a pipe with a height of 100 centimeters and a diameter of 7.5 centimeters (ISO obstacle).
The "first threshold distance to the obstacle" must be at least approximately 150 centimeters from the outside of the vehicle across the entire width of the rear
(excluding mirrors). The "second distance threshold to the obstacle" must be within 20 and 30 centimeters from the outside of the vehicle over the entire width
of the rear (excluding mirrors). Outside the width of the vehicle, the distance before the first threshold is approximately 60 centimetres.
The minimum height of the obstacle that can be recognized corresponds to the maximum height of an obstacle that cannot be hit by the vehicle while parking.
The reflection from the background is ignored unless it has the characteristics of an obstacle.
Trailer presence
No obstacles are detected behind when driving with a trailer, thanks to a special connection between the control unit and the socket of the tow bar.
This connection must be made afterwards during the installation of the towbar.

Ultrasonic Sensors
The ultrasonic sensor works as an intelligent transmitter/receiver for ultrasonic pulses. Both the frequency and the voltage of the impulses are generated by the sensor.
The transmitted impulses are reflected by any obstacles; the receiver thus receives an echo which is amplified and converted into a digital signal, which is sent to the control unit via the same
channel as the activation signal.
Each sensor can also act as a receiver alone, allowing triangulation between two sensors.

This technique makes it easier to detect small obstacles and improves performance in the event of poor reflections.
All sensors have the same electrical and mechanical properties; the maximum measuring distance of each sensor is adjusted by software, depending on the position of the sensor on the bumpers.

The radio/navigation system is equipped with an SD card reader, which allows to read and use SD cards with SPI technology with maps for the navigation
system.
To manage the SD card, there is a special menu that can be accessed from the configuration menu as "MANAGE SD CARD".
The system recognizes a new cartographic SD card and allows use up to a mileage of approximately 1000 km.
To activate the cartographic SD card without this limit, an activation code must be entered.
To obtain the activation code, contact the NAVTEQ Call Center during business hours at the toll free number provided on the SD card packaging and
provide the following information: - System serial number: it is 11 alphanumeric characters, found in the “MANAGE SD CARD” configuration menu under
the “SYSTEM SERIAL NUMBER” item; - version of the cartography and any license number present on the packaging of the SD card; - vehicle data and
personal data for any additional activations.
With this information, the NAVTEQ Call Center provides the activation code which consists of 16 characters.
This code must then be entered in the "MANAGE SD CARD" configuration menu under the "LICENCE CARDS ACTIVATION" item.
Each cartography can only be used by the device for which registration has taken place; if the SD card is inserted into another device, the software will not be
accepted.
The possible states of the radio/navigation system with regard to power supply and operation in general are: - switched
off (OFF) - normal state - standby.
The system's configuration keeps track of which functions the user has activated (function means: tuner, CD, MediaPlayer, etc.).
- Disabled (OFF): all functions of the radio/navigation system are disabled and the various hardware modules are not supplied with power.
- Normal state: In the normal state, the radio/navigation system is fully switched on and all functions of the system are used according to the system configuration.
The internal modules are operational as well as the internal communication lines.
Leaving this state saves the system configuration; returning to normal state restores the configuration (except "dark on/off" which is always set to "off" so the display will
always be on).
- Standby: in this state the radio/navigation system is switched on, but the situation appears to be the same as the switched-off state; in any case, the network
communication is the only module that works fully.
Arming: The
user can arm the system (from off to normal) by pressing the ON/OFF button regardless of the ignition switch position.
If the ignition is switched on (+ key active from the first ignition switch position) when the system is switched off (OFF), the radio/navigation system continues with the anti-
theft procedure (exchange of codes with the Body Computer node), then returns to the normal state (obviously, the functions are only available if the codes are approved;
if not, standby is enabled).
Disarm: The
user can disarm the system in several ways, depending on the state of the system.
Normal situation:
If the ignition key is removed and there is no phone call or service call, the system will turn off (of course the system configuration and backup data will be saved first). If
a call is made to a mobile phone via Blue&Me or a service call is made via the telephone integrated in Blue&Me, the radio/navigation system switches off with a delay after
the call (20 minutes of operation without a key and without pressing the buttons on the device). front panel or steering wheel).
If the system is in the normal state with the ignition off, it can be turned off as follows: - automatically when the above timeout has
expired. - by the user by pressing the on/off key.
Standby:
Shutdown (transition to off) occurs when the ignition lock signal is no longer present (+key not active).
Transition to standby (apparent shutdown): Transition
from normal state to standby (it appears as if the system is shutting down, but in reality radio remains
/navigation system works and it just cannot be operated) if the user presses the ON/OFF button, but the ignition remains on.
From this state, the normal state can be restored with the ON/OFF button.
The radio/navigation system will remain locked automatically if there is no connection to the CAN: in this case the master code must be entered manually so that the body
computer grants permission and the system can work.

Navigation
With the radio/navigation system, the position of the car can be determined and the "route guidance" carried out. The position
is determined using: - GPS satellites; - Dead reckoning; - Folder matching.
Position determination with GPS: the position determination is made using the received GPS signals; at least three satellites must be received with the antenna on the roof
of the car. The GPS position is accurate to less than 20 meters (under normal operating conditions).
Dead reckoning: refers to the determination of position by integrating the following signals together: the direction of the car, the speed and the direction of travel
(provided by the sensors on board). This ensures that the position can be determined if GPS signals are missing (tunnels, covered areas, etc.).
Map matching: the route traveled is compared with the topographical features of the environment. In this way the position data is associated with the street names.
The navigation module receives the position data; in addition, the progress data and the direction changes from the sensors in the car are received.
This data is collected and processed by a special algorithm that also takes into account the current position obtained from the GPS satellites, and thus calculates the
estimated position of the car (localization of the car).
Route guidance
The navigation module can extract, manage and edit all information to guide the driver to the entered destination.
Machine Translated by Google
Reception of RDS-TMS traffic information from the radio module (the navigation module receives traffic information from the radio module via
the RDS-TMC announcements in geographic areas where it is available). This type of information is always in text form.
Map display
When the navigation function is active, the user can choose from the following map display options: -
scale: from 1:10,000 to 1:20,000,000; - possible direction display “north up” (north always at the top) or
“heading up” (driving direction always up) depending on the scale set; - display of map details (car parks, water, etc.); - place names; - POI
icons (categories only: restaurants, hotels, gas stations, parking options); - BIRD VIEW function (view of the map from above as a bird's eye
view).
The system calculates the optimal route to reach the entered destination; the following priorities can be set: - fastest -
shortest - best distance/time ratio - highways yes/no - ferry services yes/no - RDS TMC yes/no.
Calendar destinations
The destination can be saved in a personal destination calendar for easy recall next time.
This system allows a descriptive name to be associated with a destination.

system in the car.
When the device is connected to the USB port, the radio/navigation system display shows the message that the Media player is activated and
that the music information is available for the "radio" function.
The controls on the front panel of the radio/navigation system allow you to skip to the previous/next track (left and right arrows) and change
the search method (up and down arrows).
The context-sensitive menu of the "radio" function (or in the main menu) allows you to make the settings of the Media Player and to
choose the navigation method between the tracks (genre, album, artist, playlist).

microphone, - end call.
When the phone is connected and Blue&Me privacy is disabled, the radio/navigation system displays pop-up information when a new SMS is
received or when a call is received/transferred that the user can answer/reject.
Front view
Numerous buttons and two rotary switches (consisting of a ring and a push button) are located on the front panel of the radio/navigation system.

The operation of the rear controls can be disabled with the push button (3): the function is indicated by a lit LED next to the corresponding
button and the extinguished lighting in the buttons for the rear windows.
When the lock is on, the windows cannot be operated with any buttons.
All windows operate exclusively "via the ignition", with the following exception: after key-off the windows can be closed manually or automatically
for 3 minutes. After this time has elapsed, the system will no longer be able to process new commands.
If a door is opened during the time control, the system will not execute any new commands, but will finalize the commands received before the
door was opened.
If at key-off a door has already been opened, the system will complete the commands received before the door was opened.
With this function, all windows can be completely closed with one action.
All door windows can be closed while the doors are locked by holding the key in the lock position or by pressing and holding the button on
the remote control.
In this way it is also possible to open the windows when the doors are unlocked.
Anti-injury protection
The anti-injury function reverses the motor movement of the window mechanism if an obstacle (e.g. thumb or hand) is detected during the movement of the
Machine Translated by Google
If the system detects an obstacle in the "non-reversing zone", only the window movement of the closing window is interrupted.
No commands will be accepted during this period.
If the anti-injury function is activated 5 times in a row within a minute or if a fault persists, the system will disable the automatic closing and only
steps of 500 ms can be performed, each time releasing the button.
To restore the correct functioning of the system, one of the following remedial actions must be performed: - switch
ignition off and on (key-off - key-on); - fully open the relevant window by the driver.
The anti-injury function uses a Hall sensor that signals an overload of the window motor: the switch-on threshold is reached when the force on an
obstacle (eg a thumb or a hand) during the window movement exceeds approximately 7/8 kg.
Initialization
If the power supply has been interrupted, the power windows must be reset by performing the following procedure using the controls on the driver's
door.
For each door, proceed as follows:
- turn the key to MAR; - press and
hold the "manual" window closing button until the window is completely closed, then keep the button pressed for at least 1 second.
After this procedure, the "anti-injury function" and the automatic operation of the windows are again operational.

191 - Giulietta 1.4 Turbo MultiAir INTRODUCTION - SUN ROOF INTRODUCTION - SUN ROOF
INTRODUCTION
The vehicle may be equipped with an exclusive sun roof, comprising two glass panels, one fixed, the rear one and one moving, which is electrically operated.
There are two manual sun blinds on the inside of the roof that slide independently towards the front of the vehicle.
This sun roof system therefore provides the opportunity of various permutations and it is possible to travel with the roof open or let light into the
passenger compartment even with the roof closed.
The front blind opens together with the glass. It is closed manually.
Composition
The diagram illustrates the sun roof components.

motor 5. Wiring 6.
Deflector 7. Front
blind 8. Rear blind
9. Front moulding
10. Rear moulding
11. Seal The sun
roof comprises an
internal structure with various components.
The glazed surface is divided into two panels, the rear one is fixed in heat-proof glass like the front sliding panel activated by a dual switch located next
to the centre courtesy light assembly.
A sealing strip to protect against infiltration around the edges of the sliding section opening is in contact with the front sliding panel profile.
The control system is composed of an electric motor with an integrated electronic control unit located on the central part of the roof. The movement takes
place by means of the motor pinion that drives two flexible racks (bowden).
The front and rear blinds used to protect against sunlight are sliding roller blinds.They slide along guides supported by teflon slide pads with rubber
bearings between pad and guide.
The blinds are moved manually.
The blind is accompanied and stops in every position of its travel.
The main sun roof sub-assemblies
are: - Single frame.
- A system of right and left mechanisms, inserted in the aluminium guides, for moving the front glass panel, operated by the electric motor by means of a
metal spiral cable. - 2 aluminium front guides for the sliding function: for the front pulley, the metal spiral cable and the front blind. - 2 aluminium rear
guides covered by the mouldings and the rear glass for the rear pulley sliding function. - 2 rear guides for the sliding of the rear blind.
- Polyester front blind, retained at the sides, which, on opening, wraps around the centre section of the roof allowing full visibility outside the vehicle.
- Rear polyester curtain retained at the sides, which, whilst opening, wraps around the centre section of the roof allowing full visibility outside the
vehicle. - 2 glass panels 5 mm thick with a brightness transmission TL of 5.6 % +/-3% and an energy transmission TE of 5.2% +/- 3%.
- Aluminium deflector with retractable plastic corners to avoid the effects produced by aerodynamic turbulence (buffeting and passenger comfort) in all
driving conditions.
- Plastic side moulding
- Motor activating front glass panel with control unit for anti-crush safety function.
Functional characteristics
The water drainage function is produced by channels on the roof.
The positioning of the assembly on the bodyshell is guaranteed by references on the sun roof frame and by drillings in the bodyshell.
The bonding to the bodyshell guarantees the water tightness (before and after fatigue/ageing) and is resistant to a vertical force equal to that
produced by a pressure of 6000 N/m² applied to the perimeter of the bonded frame.

Whilst opening, the front glass panel slides horizontally above the rear panel sliding along outer side guides.
The colour of the glass used for the panels is grey and the light transmission is TL 5.6 % +/-3% and the energy transmission is TE 5.2% +/- 3%.
Operation
BLIND OPENING/CLOSING To
open the blinds: grab handle A and accompany it following the direction shown by the arrows until it is in the desired position. To close them, carry
out the procedure in reverse.
The opening of the front blind is linked to the position of the roof. When the glass opens, the blind opens too and cannot be closed unless the glass is closed.
The front blind can be opened and closed with the roof closed.
Initialisation procedure
The sunroof must be re-initialised after disconnecting the battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as
follows: - press button A until the roof is completely closed. Release
the button; - press button A and keep it pressed for at least 10 seconds and/or until the glass panel clicks forwards.
Release the button at this
point; - press button A within 5 seconds of this operation and keep it pressed: the glass panel will complete a full opening and closing cycle.
Only release the button at the end of this cycle.
Emergency operation
If the switch does not work, the sunroof can be operated manually as
follows: - remove the protective cap located on the central part of the
inner trim; - take the Allen key that comes with the vehicle located with the vehicle documentation or in the tool
box in the boot; - introduce the key provided into housing A and working on the engine B, turn clockwise to open the roof or anticlockwise to close the roof.

191 - Giulietta 2.0 JTDM GENERAL - OPEN ROOF/WINDOWS GENERAL - OPEN ROOF/WINDOWS
GENERAL
The car can be equipped with an exclusive sunroof consisting of two panes of glass; one fixed panel (the rear) and one electrically operated
movable panel.
The sunroof in the interior is equipped with two manually adjustable sunblinds, which can be moved independently to the front of the car.
It is possible to use the various options of the sunroof during the journey, whereby the sunroof can be opened or light can reach the interior,
even when the sunroof is closed.
The front sunshade opens at the same time as the roof. The screen must be closed by hand.
Structure
Components of the sunroof
The open roof consists of one whole that supports the various components.
The glass surface is divided into two panels. A fixed rear heat-insulating window and a movable front window panel that slides out and is
operated by a double switch next to the center ceiling light.
A rubber is mounted along the edges of the sliding part of the open roof, which forms the seal with the roof.
The control system consists of an electric motor with an integrated electronic control unit on the rear of the sunroof. Driven by the pinion of the
motor that drives two rack and pinion cables (bowden).
The front and rear awnings can be moved. They slide through the guides using Teflon sliding blocks. Rubber bearings are located between
the sliding blocks and the guide.
The awnings are operated manually.
The awning must be guided and can stop in any position.
The main subgroups of the open roof are:
- One-piece frame.
- A movement mechanism on the left and right in the aluminum guides in front of the window, operated by an electric motor via a
metal spiral cable. - 2 front aluminum slides for sliding: the front carriage, the metal spiral cable and the front sunshade. - 2 rear
aluminum guides, which are covered with moldings and the rear window panel, which allow the rear carriage to slide. - 2 rear guides
for sliding the rear sunshade.
- Polyester front sunshade with side lock, which is stowed open in the middle of the roof, allowing an unobstructed view to the outside from the
interior.
- Polyester rear sunshade with side lock, which is stowed open at the rear of the roof, allowing an unobstructed view to the outside from the
interior. - 2 glass panels with a thickness of 5 mm and a light transmission TL equal to 5.6% +/-3% and a heat transmission TE of 5.2% +/- 3%.
- Retractable aluminum windshield with plastic corners to prevent the effects of air turbulence (buffeting and passenger comfort) in all
driving conditions.
- Plastic molding on the side.
- Power window motor for the front window panel with control unit for the anti-injury function.
Characteristics
Operation
OPENING/CLOSING SUNSHADES To open
the sunshades: hold the handle A and guide it in the direction indicated by the arrows until the desired position is reached. To close, perform the
operations in reverse order.
Machine Translated by Google
The opening of the front sunshade depends on the position of the sunroof. When the roof is opened, the sunshade also opens; however, the screen does not
close when the roof closes.
When the sunroof is closed, the front sunshade can be opened and closed.
ROOF OPENING
The sunroof can only be operated with the ignition switch set to MAR.
If button B is pressed and held, the front window panel will be moved to the tilt position; if button B is pressed again and held for longer than half a second, the
window panel will open automatically until an intermediate position is reached ("Comfort" position).
If the "open" button is pressed again for more than half a second, the window panel opens automatically to the extreme position; the window panel can be closed
in an intermediate position when the button is pressed again.
CLOSE ROOF
When the roof is in the fully open position, pressing button A for more than half a second will automatically move the front window panel to an intermediate
position ("Comfort" position).
If the button is pressed again for about half a second, the panel will return to the tilt position. Finally, pressing the "close" button again will close the panel
completely.
The sunshade must be closed manually.
Anti-injury function
The sunroof is equipped with an anti-injury function that is able to detect any obstacle during the closing of the sunroof; in the event of an obstacle, the
control unit interrupts the closing process and immediately reverses the movement.
Initialisatieprocedure
If the battery has been disconnected or a fuse has blown, the sunroof operation must then be re-initialized.
Proceed as follows:
- keep button A pressed until the roof is completely closed. Release the key;
- press and hold button A for at least 10 seconds and/or until a short forward movement of the sunroof is detected.
At that point, release the key; -
within 5 seconds of the previous work, press and hold button A: the roof performs a complete opening and closing cycle.
Release the button only after this cycle.
Emergency service
If the sunroof cannot be operated electrically in the event of a switch failure, it can also be operated manually; to do this, proceed as follows: - remove protective
plug A on the back of the inner lining; - take the hexagonal key supplied with the car, which is located in the on-board documentation holder or in the luggage
compartment; - insert the key into seat B and turn it clockwise to open the roof or counterclockwise to close the roof.

191 - Giulietta 1.4 Turbo MultiAir INTRODUCTION - BODY INTERIOR FITTINGS AND TRIM
INTERIOR FITTINGS
The style and design philosophy pursued for the interiors follows the same formal and aesthetic standards which embody the Alfa Romeo philosophy:
to convey to people who see an Alfa Romeo the same great passion and emotion as those who conceived, designed and produced it.
In the Giulietta, the main body of the dashboard extends vertically with the central console to emphasise the sporty cockpit concept that has always
exemplified the sporting spirit of Alfa Romeo cars and give the driver the impression of being in full control of all driving controls and info-telematic information.
This is expressed by the instrument dome and classic tubular instrument casings facing the driver. The main body of the dashboard is a horizontal
band that involves the central and passenger area, to give the overall volume an impression of greater dynamism.
The horizontal arrangement of a highly characteristic feature such as the dashboard forms part of the formal legacy of historical Alpha Romeo interiors.
Separating the dashboard from the tunnel console volume helps to emphasise the concept of lightness.
The horizontal facia made out of different materials, surface finishes and colours, defines the various trim levels in the elegant and sporty versions.
The dynamic effect has been further emphasised by extending the side heads of the dashboard toward the door panel volume so that the occupants
perceive an expanded space offering more room to enjoy a more comfortable environment.
The dashboard trim is fastened to the mounting crossmember underneath through an innnovative system for impact absorption.
The two side brackets have been designed to guarantee a progressive yield in the event of an accident, in order to absorb the impact of the passengers
against the dashboard trim, which can retract reducing the injury to the passengers themselves.
This solution make the adoption of passenger and driver's knee bag superfluous.
SAFETY BELTS
The car is equipped with three-point inertia reel seat belts, including the center rear seat belt.
The front seat belts are fitted with electrically operated belt tensioners and traction limiters.
A second belt tensioner is used in this car, also of the electronically controlled pyrotechnic type. This tightens the hip belt section, so that the pelvis
and legs will slide forward much less vigorously and therefore the shins and knees will come against the lower part of the dashboard much less hard.
In addition, the combined action of the two pretensioners at different points prevents the belt from stretching almost completely, thus minimizing the
risk of the occupant slipping under the belt (so-called submarining).
The mechanism on the lap belt section "tightens" the seat belt in such a way that the passenger cannot move forward.
1 - Seat belt 2 -
Height adjustment
3 - Automatic retractor with belt
tensioner 4 - Belt tensioner for lap belt
section 5 - Closure The side rear seats
also have a three-point seat belt with automatic retractor in the stile and belt tension limiter (on the retractor), while the center seat is equipped of a
three-point belt with an inertia reel in the backrest of the rear seat.
Warning against unfastened seat belts ("basic" version indicating only the front seat belts)
The car is equipped with an SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system, which consists of a warning buzzer which, together with the flashing "seat belt" -
warning light on the instrument panel warns the driver and front passenger if the appropriate seat belt is not fastened.
If the belt is fastened during the cycle, the warning cycle is automatically interrupted and only repeated if a new seat belt unfastened is
detected.
The warning cycle can be switched off temporarily or permanently using the diagnostic tool (Examiner) via a dialogue with the instrument panel.
See descriptions 5560 INSTRUMENTS
Warning for seat belts that have not been fastened (complete version, also for the rear belts)
On some versions, a display is provided above the interior mirror, which visually and acoustically warns all occupants (including those in the rear
seats) if the seat belt has not been correctly fastened.
Machine Translated by Google
The two lights on the side are for the front seats, while the three lights in the center are for the rear passengers.
The lights are red and green and operate as follows: -
extinguished when the key is turned to MAR and the seat belts are already fastened; -
red if the front seat belts are not fastened; - flashing red (for rear seat belts only) if the
seat belts are not fastened - green if the seat belts are fastened.
If only the driver is in the car and no seat belts are fastened, the first four lights will turn red and the last green.
The three lights in the center will flash for about 30 seconds and then turn solid red.
The operation of the lights for the front and rear seats is different: Driver:
If only the driver is in the car, it starts, if you drive faster than 20 km/h or if
you maintain a speed between 10 km for more than 5 seconds /h and 20 km/h, there is a pre-seat warning cycle (an uninterrupted acoustic signal for the
first 6 seconds, then a further 90 seconds “beep” and the light starts to flash).
When the cycle is complete, the lights will remain solid until the engine is turned off.
The acoustic signal will stop immediately and the warning light will turn green as soon as the driver's seat belt is fastened.
If the seat belt is released again while driving, the acoustic signal will sound again and the warning lamp will flash again as described above.
Passenger:
The same situation applies to the front passenger, with the difference that the warning lamp lights up green and the acoustic signal is also interrupted
when the passenger leaves the car.
In the event that both seat belts are unfastened shortly after each other while a vehicle is moving, the acoustic signal refers to the most recently
unfastened seat belt, while the two lamps work independently of each other.
Rear seats: In the
rear seats, there is only a signal if one of the seat belts is unfastened. In this situation, the corresponding seat belt light will flash for approximately 30
seconds.
In addition, an acoustic signal sounds.
If more seat belts are unfastened, the lights give a visible signal independently of each other.
All lights will always remain on if at least one of the front seats is occupied with an unfastened seat belt.
All lights go off (30 seconds after the last seat belt is fastened) as soon as all front seats are occupied, regardless of whether the rear seat belts are
fastened or not.
All lights come on when at least one fastened seat belt is unfastened or vice versa. All lights will remain off if all seat belts are fastened when
starting.
The belt tensioners are mounted on the retractor and on the 3rd attachment point.

interior mirror
The electronically dimmable interior mirror contains an electronic system that automatically adjusts the anti-dazzle mode.
In the mirror, a photodiode sensor measures the strength of the light beam striking the mirror and sends a signal to the electronic control unit (also in the
mirror). This partially obscures the Liquid Crystal Diodes, making the mirror "matter"; in this way the anti-dazzle function protects the driver's view.

ACCESS TO INTERIOR
The "Vehicle Protection System" using the central locking of the doors/tailgate with remote control is designed in such a way that breaking into the
car is very difficult.
The Body Computer manages the electric locks and the associated commands and controls from the following
overview: - Lock/unlock motor - Motor with "dead-lock" anti-theft mechanism - Actuator for opening tailgate -
Switch only on driver's door lock cylinder for central door locking with mechanical key - Button in the passenger
compartment for locking/unlocking the doors - Button ("logo") on the tailgate for opening the luggage compartment
Remote control
The radio frequency remote control is equipped with a folding beard. The transmitter has a range of approximately twenty
meters. It operates the central door lock and has three buttons with the following functions:
1 - Unlock key
2 - Lock key
3 - Tailgate Button
unlock key
With a short press: unlock the doors and the tailgate remotely and at the same time deactivate the alarm (if equipped), the interior lighting comes on
with time control and the direction indicators flash twice.
With a longer press (more than 2 seconds): the windows open and the interior lighting is switched on; when the button is released, the windows
will stop in the position reached.
Lock key
With a short press: remotely lock the doors and tailgate and simultaneously activate the alarm (if equipped), the interior lighting switches off
and the direction indicators flash once.
If the button is pressed again soon after the first time, the "Dead-lock" function is activated.
If one or more doors are open, the locking will not take place. This is indicated by the rapid flashing of the direction indicator LED on
the instrument panel.
With a longer press (more than 2 seconds): the windows close and the interior lighting is switched off; when the button is released, the windows
will stop in the position reached.
When the battery is empty, the transmitter can be operated about 100 more times, during which the data is sent correctly.
When the corresponding button is pressed, the tailgate or remote unlocks (opens) even if the anti-theft alarm (if equipped) is activated.
Unlocking the tailgate is indicated by two flashes of the direction indicators; lock by flashing once (only with alarm enabled).
If the alarm is armed and the tailgate is opened, the alarm system will disable the motion detection and the tailgate perimeter protection sensor.
When the tailgate is closed again, the motion detection and perimeter protection sensor are reactivated.
TANK COVER:
The tank hatch can be opened by hand. The fuel cap can be opened using the mechanical key.

On the switch panel in the center of the dashboard, there is a RED LED next to the lock/unlock button.
When the doors are locked, the LED lights up for a few seconds and then the LED flashes (monitoring function).
If one or more doors or the tailgate are not closed properly when the doors are locked, the LED and the direction indicators will flash quickly.
Operation
Door locking from the outside
When the doors are closed and the button on the remote control is pressed or the key is turned in the driver's door lock, the doors are locked.
The locking of the doors is indicated by the activation of the LED on the button in the center of the dashboard.
Machine Translated by Google
This occurs when the appropriate button on the remote control is pressed or when the key is turned in the driver's door lock.
This occurs when the button in the center of the dashboard is pressed.
The button has a status LED (doors locked or unlocked): LED lit: doors locked Pressing the button again unlocks the doors
centrally and turns off the LED. LED off: doors unlocked.
By pressing the button again, the doors are centrally locked.
The doors will only lock if all doors are properly closed.
If the doors are locked with the remote control or door lock, they cannot be unlocked with the button in the center of the dashboard.
When centrally locked and a door unlock button is pulled, the relevant door unlocks (if this is the passenger door, the LED on the button remains
lit).
If there is no power supply (blown fuse, disconnected battery, etc.), it is still possible to unlock the doors manually.
luggage compartment
The luggage compartment is unlocked electrically and cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
When the luggage compartment is unlocked, it can be opened from the outside using the button (Alfa Romeo logo); press the button until unlocking
is detected or press the appropriate button on the remote control.
When the luggage compartment is opened, the direction indicators flash twice and an interior lighting unit comes on: the lighting switches off
automatically when the luggage compartment is closed. If you forget to close the luggage compartment, the lighting switches off automatically after a few minutes.
Dead-lock function
Via the "Setup menu" of the instrument panel, you can set whether all doors should be locked automatically above a speed of 20 km/h.
All door windows can be closed while the doors are locked by holding the key in the lock position or by pressing and holding the button on the
remote control.
The window movement continues as long as the key is kept turned.
In this way it is also possible to open the windows when the doors are unlocked.
All windows operate exclusively "via the ignition", with the following exception: after key-off the windows can be closed manually or automatically for 3
minutes. After this time has elapsed, the system will no longer be able to process new commands.
If a door is opened during the time control, the system will not execute any new commands, but will finalize the commands received before the door
was opened.
If at key-off a door has already been opened, the system will complete the commands received before the door was opened.
Anti-injury protection
The anti-injury function reverses the motor movement of the window mechanism if an obstacle (eg thumb or hand) is detected during the movement of
the window. This prevents injury.
This provides a high degree of safety, even if accidentally operated by children in the interior.
This allows the central opening and closing of the windows to be used when leaving the car.
The anti-injury function is enabled during manual and automatic window operation.
There are two zones defined in the anti-injury function: "the reversal zone" and the "non-reversal
zone": - the "reversal zone" is an area between 200 mm below the top edge and the top edge -
the "non-reversal zone" is the remaining area.
If the system detects an obstacle in the "reversing zone" while closing the window, the closing movement is interrupted and immediately reversed.
If the system detects an obstacle in the "non-reversing zone", only the window movement of the closing window is interrupted.
No commands will be accepted during this period.
If the anti-injury function is activated 5 times in a row within a minute or if a fault persists, the system will disable the automatic closing and only
steps of 500 ms can be performed, each time releasing the button.
To restore the correct functioning of the system, one of the following remedial actions must be carried out: - switch
the ignition off and on (key-off - key-on) - open the relevant window completely by the driver.
The anti-injury function uses a Hall sensor that signals overload of the window motor: the switch-on threshold is calculated if the force on the obstacle
(eg a thumb or a hand) during the window movement exceeds 7-8 kg.
1. open the window in the driver's door completely and keep the button pressed for at least 3 seconds after the window has been fully opened
(lower stop); 2. close the window in the driver's door completely and keep the button pressed for at least 3 seconds after the window has been
completely closed (upper stop); 3. carry out the procedure in the same way on the passenger door; 4. check whether the initialization has been
performed correctly by checking the automatic working of the windows.
After this procedure, the "anti-injury function" and the automatic operation of the windows are again operational.
