Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 2017 Owner's Manual page 99

Disable: the system does not
provide visual and audible warnings,
limited braking, automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage.
The system will therefore provide no
indication of a possible accident.
Activation/Deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning system
is activated whenever the engine is
started regardless of what is shown on
the Information and Entertainment
System.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
collision with the preceding vehicle,
regardless of the setting selected with
the Information and Entertainment
System.
Note: Each time the engine is started,
the system is activated regardless of
what setting was selected when it was
previously switched off.
This function is not active at a speed
lower than 4 mph (7 km/h) or higher
than 124 mph (200 km/h).
The system is active when:
The engine is started.
Is active (on) in the Information and
Entertainment System.
The ignition is in the ON position.
The vehicle speed is between 4 mph
(7 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
The front seat belts are fastened.
The Alfa DNA Pro Selector is not in
"RACE" position (where present).
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Information and
Entertainment System menu, choosing
from one of the following three options:
"Near", "Med" or "Far". Refer to the
description in the "Information and
Entertainment System Supplement" for
how to change the settings.
The pre-set option is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a greater
distance, thus providing the possibility
of acting on the brakes more lightly and
gradually. This setting provides the
drivers with the maximum possible
reaction time to prevent a potential
accident.
With the option set to "Near", the
system will alert the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front when
that vehicle is close. This setting offers
the driver a lower reaction time
compared to the "Med" and "Far"
settings, in the event of a potential
collision, but permits more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in
the memory when the engine is
switched off.
System Limited Operation Signal
If the dedicated message is displayed,
a condition limiting the system
operation may have occurred. The
possible reasons of this limitation are
something blocking the camera view or
a fault.
If an obstruction is signaled, clean the
area of the windshield indicated in.
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
be not completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to
normal and complete operation. Should
the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display. This
generally occurs in the event of poor
