Alfa Romeo STELVIO Owner's Handbook Manual page 112

For the system to operate correctly,
the rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the road
surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area where
the radar sensors are located with any
object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.).
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you
wish to install the tow hook, you need to
deactivate the system via the Connect
system. To access the function, on the
main menu select the following items in
sequence: "Settings", "Safety" and "Blind
Spot Alert".
Rear view
The system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear of the car
on both sides and entering the rear
detection area with a difference in speed
of less than approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) with respect to your car.
Overtaking vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly
(with a difference in speed of less than
about 15.5 mph / 25 km/h) and this stays
in the blind spot for about 1.5 seconds,
the warning light on the door mirror of
the corresponding side lights up.
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.
110
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection)
This function helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres 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.
Function activation is signalled to the
driver by means of a visual and acoustic
warning.
WARNING If the sensors are covered by
objects or vehicles, the function 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 engine is started,
the operating mode stored previously
will be recalled and used.
ABSA (Active Blind Spot Assist)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
66) 67) 68)
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
