Alfa Romeo STELVIO 2022 Owner's Handbook Manual page 104

This function is not active at a speed
lower than 2.5 mph (4 km/h) or higher
than 124 mph (200 km/h).
The system is active:
each time the engine is started;
when the ignition device is at ON;
when it is activated ("ON") on the
Connect system;
when the vehicle speed is between 2.5
and 124 mph (4 and 200 km/h);
when the front seat belts are correctly
fastened.
WARNING If the safety belts of the
front seats are not correctly fastened,
the system will not intervene on the
braking system (only acoustic and visual
warnings will be provided).
Changing the system sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Connect system
menu, choosing from one of the following
three options: "Near", "Med" or "Far". See
the description in the Connect system
supplement for how to change the
settings.
The default option is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of
a possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
102
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when that vehicle is at a greater distance,
thus providing the possibility of acting on
the brakes more lightly and gradually.
This setting provides the drivers with
the maximum possible reaction time to
prevent a potential accident.
With the option set to "Near", the system
will warn the driver of a possible accident
with the vehicle in front when that
vehicle is close. This setting offers the
driver a lower reaction time compared to
the "Med" and "Far" settings, in the event
of a potential collision, but permits more
dynamic driving of the vehicle.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in
the memory when the engine is switched
off.
Limited System Functionality Message
If the dedicated message is displayed, a
condition limiting the system operation
may have occurred. The possible reasons
of this limitation are something blocking
the camera view or a fault.
In this condition it will still be possible
to drive the car normally, but automatic
braking will not be available in the event
of an impending collision.
If an obstruction is signalled, clean the
area of the windscreen indicated in
fig. 103.
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.
System Fault Message
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
Radar indication not available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.
This generally occurs in the event of poor
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The system can also be temporarily
dimmed due to obstructions such as
mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In such
cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system
will be deactivated. This message can
sometimes appear in conditions of high
reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflective
tiles or ice or snow).
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation.
