Alfa Romeo STELVIO 2022 Owner's Handbook Manual page 105

In certain particular 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 real
reason behind this message, check if the
sensor is dirty.
It could be necessary to clean or remove
any obstructions in the area shown in
fig. 102.
If the message appears often, even in the
absence of atmospheric conditions such
as snow, rain, mud or other obstructions,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership for a
sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,
cleaning the radar surface, by manually
removing the decorative cover trim,
could be required. Have this operation
performed at an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
WARNING It is recommended that you
do not install devices, accessories or
aerodynamic attachments in front of the
sensor or darken it in any way, as this can
compromise the correct functioning of
the system.
Frontal collision alarm with active
braking
(where provided)
If this function is selected, the brakes are
operated to reduce the speed of the car
in the event of potential frontal impact.
This function applies an additional
braking pressure if the braking pressure
applied by the driver does not suffice to
prevent potential frontal impact.
The function is active with speed above
2.5 mph (4 km/h).
Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as, for
example:
driving close to a bend;
the vehicle ahead is leaving a
roundabout;
vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane;
lane change by other vehicles;
vehicles travelling at right angles to
the vehicle;
System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed. The driver must
therefore be very careful, keeping
control of the vehicle to drive in
complete safety.
WARNING In particularly complex traffic
conditions, the driver can deactivate the
system manually through the Connect
system.
Driving close to a bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend,
the system may detect a vehicle that is in
front of you, but that is not driving in the
same lane fig. 106. In cases such as these,
the system may intervene.
106
The vehicle ahead is leaving a
roundabout
On a roundabout, the system could
detect the presence of a vehicle ahead
which is leaving the roundabout and cut
in fig. 107.
107
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane
The system cannot detect cars in front
of you but outside the range of the radar
sensor and may therefore not react
