Alfa Romeo Giulia Owner's Handbook Manual page 81

If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater than about
15.5 mph (25 km/h), the warning light does
not light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection)
This function helps the driver during
reverse maneuvers in the case of
reduced visibility.
The RCP function the rear detection
areas on both sides of the car, to detect
objects moving towards the sides of the
car at a minimum speed between about
0.6 mph (1 km/h) and 2 mph (3 km/h) and
objects moving at a maximum speed of
22 mph (35 km/h), as generally happens in
parking areas.
The function activation is signaled to the
driver by a visual and acoustic warning.
WARNING If the sensors are covered by
obstacles or vehicles, the system will not
warn the driver.
Operating mode
The system may be
activated/deactivated via the Connect
system. On the main menu select the
following items in sequence: "Settings",
"Safety" and "Blind Spot Alert".
"Blind Spot Alert", "Visual" mode
When the system is enabled and
presence of a vehicle in the blind spot is
detected, a visual warning is sent to the
door mirror on the side of the detected
object.
The visual warning on the mirror will blink
if the driver switches on the direction
indicators to indicate the intention to
change lane in the direction of the
detected object.
The warning will be fixed if the driver
stays on the same lane.
"Blind Spot Alert" function
deactivation
When the function is deactivated ("Blind
Spot Alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSM
or RCP systems will not emit neither
acoustic nor visual warnings.
The BSM system will store the operating
mode running when the engine was
stopped. Each time the vehicle is started
the previously stored mode will be
recalled and used.
ABSA (Active Blind Spot Assist)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
63) 64) 65)
It is a driving assistance system able to
avoid/limit lateral collisions with cars
coming from adjacent lanes by changing
the trajectory of the vehicle with the aim
of keeping it in the detected lane.
If the direction indicator on the
corresponding side is switched on, the
system alerts you of the presence of
vehicles in the detection area by flashing
the light on the door mirror fig. 62 on the
corresponding side. Acoustic warnings
and/or steering wheel vibrations and/or
counter-steering torque on the steering
wheel may be applied according to
the corresponding settings set in the
"Driver Assistance" menu on the Connect
system.
When the engine is started, the warning
light turns on to indicate to the driver
that the system is active (the warning
light comes on if the system is activated
through the Connect system menu).
