SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION
WARNING
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, 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 signalled,
clean the area of the windscreen
indicated in fig. 171 and check that the
message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below): the
driver must control the car at all times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
VEHICLE not aligned
The device may not detect a car travelling
on the same lane but which is not aligned
along the same direction of travel or a car
which is cutting in from a side lane.
Sufficient distance from the cars ahead
may not be guaranteed in these cases.
The non-aligned car can weave in and out
of the driving direction causing the car to
brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
166
Steering and bends
On bends fig. 178 with the device set, it
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability even if no
vehicles are detected ahead.
When leaving the bend, the device resets
the previously set speed.
178
IMPORTANT In case of narrow curves,
the performance of the device could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the device. Moreover,
remember that the device only limits the
speed DURING a bend and not BEFORE
it, so always take great care.
Using the device on gradient
When driving on roads with variable
gradient, the device may not detect the
presence of a vehicle on the lane. Device
performance could be limited according
to speed, load, traffic conditions and
gradient steepness.
Lane change
The device may not detect the presence
of a vehicle until it is fully in your lane.
179
In this case, sufficient distance from the
vehicle which is changing lane may not be
guaranteed: it is advisable to pay the
07146S0011EM
utmost attention at all times and be
always ready to press the brakes if
needed.
Small cars
Some narrow vehicles (e.g. bicycles and
motorcycles fig. 180 ) travelling near the
outer edges of the lane or which enter the
lane from kerbside are not detected until
they are fully in the lane.
07146S0012EM
