System Limited Operation Signal; Changing The System Sensitivity; System Failure Signaling; Radar Indication Not Available - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Owner's Manual

The vehicle speed is between 4 mph
(7 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
When the front seat belts are
fastened.

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 default setting 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 turned
OFF.

System Limited Operation Signal

If a 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 turns off and a dedicated
message is shown on the display, it
means that there is a fault with 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
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to
obstructions such as mud, dirt or ice on
the bumper. In such cases, a dedicated
message will be shown on the display
and the system will be deactivated. This
message can sometimes appear in
conditions of high reflectivity (e.g.
tunnels with reflective tiles or ice or
snow). When the conditions limiting the
system functions end, it will go back to
normal and complete operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated
message could be displayed when the
radar is not detecting any vehicles or
objects within its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the
reason behind this message, check if
the sensor is dirty. It could be
necessary to clean or remove any
obstructions in the area.
If the message appears frequently, even
in the absence of atmospheric
conditions such as snow, rain, mud or
other obstructions, contact an
authorized dealer for a sensor
alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,
manually removing the decorative cover
trim and cleaning the radar surface
could be required. Have this operation
performed at an authorized dealer.
