Lane Departure Warning (Ldw) System - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Owner's Manual

Warning!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Parking Sensor
system. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
Caution!
The Parking Sensor system is only a
parking aid and it is unable to recognize
every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily
detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close
proximity
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the Parking Sensor system in order
to be able to stop in time when an obstacle
is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using the Parking Sensor system.

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system
uses a forward looking camera located
on the windshield to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over
one without the an activated turn signal,
the system emits a visual as well as an
acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
surpassed line will light up on the
display (left or right) to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on
the same lane, bend with a small radius of
curvature), by road surface conditions and
by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively an authorized dealer.
Do not replace the windshield on your own.
It is advisable to replace the windshield if it
is damaged in the area of the camera.
