2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia lane assist

47)The capability of the TC must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
48)The PBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot increase
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
49)The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
50)The capability of the PBA system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to compromise
the safety of the driver, the other occupants
of the vehicle or any other road user.
51)The HSA system is not a parking brake;
therefore, never leave the vehicle without
having engaged the electric parking brake,
turned the engine off and engaged first gear,
so that it is parked in safe conditions.
52)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle laden,
in which the Hill Start Assist system may not
activate, causing a slight reversing motion
and increasing the risk of collision with
another vehicle or object. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
53)The AST system is an aid for driving and
does not relieve the driver of responsibility
for driving the vehicle.DRIVING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
The vehicle can feature the following
driving assistance systems:
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring);
FCW (Forward Collision Warning);
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System).
For the operation of the systems, see the
following pages.
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring)SYSTEM
The BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring) system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
rear bumper (one for each side - see
fig. 66 ), to detect the presence of
vehicles (vehicles, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of your
vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detectionarea by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirror fig. 67.
When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that the
system is active.
Sensors
54)
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than about 6 mph (10 km/h), or
when reverse is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary and the P
(Park) mode active.
The detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the vehicle
(around 10 ft (3 m)).
This area begins from the door mirror and
6606016S0001EM

indicators, thus indicating the intention
to change lane.
The warning will be fixed if the driver
stays on the same lane.
"Blind spot alert" function deactivation
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
Spot Alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSM or
RCP systems will not emit neither
acoustic 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.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
SYSTEM
54) 55) 56) 57) 58) 59)
19) 20) 21) 22) 23) 24) 25) 26) 27)
This is a driving assistance system
composed of a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 68 and a camera
located in the central part of the
windscreen fig. 69.In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.
The system provides the driver with
acoustic and visual signals through
specific messages on the instrument
panel display.
The system may lightly brake to warn the
driver if a possible frontal accident isdetected (limited braking). Signals and
limited braking are intended to allow the
driver to react promptly, in order to
prevent or reduce the effects of a
potential accident.
In situations with the risk of collision, if
the system detects no intervention by
the driver, it provides automatic braking
to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the
potential frontal collision (automatic
braking). If intervention by the driver on
the brake pedal is detected but not
deemed sufficient, the system may
intervene in order to improve the
reaction of the braking system, therefore
reducing vehicle speed further
(additional assistance in braking stage).
The system will intervene automatically
in case of imminent collision or impact
against a pedestrian crossing the road
(speed under 30 mph (50 km/h)).
IMPORTANT For safety reasons, when
the car has stopped, the brake callipers
may remain blocked for about 2 seconds.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if
the vehicle moves slightly forwards.
Engagement/disengagement
The Forward Collision Warning system
can be deactivated (and then reactivated)
via the Connect system. To access the
function, on the main menu select the
6806016S0003EM
6906016S0004EM

46)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windscreen,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle driving
in a transverse or opposite way on the same
lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid
scratching the windscreen. The camera
operation may also be limited or absent in
some driving, traffic and road surface
conditions.REAR BACK-UP CAMERA /
DYNAMIC GRIDLINES
DESCRIPTION
The Rear Back-up Camera is located on
the boot, near the opening button,
fig. 114.

Camera activation/deactivation
The function can be activated/
deactivated on the Connect system.
Activating the device
To access the function, on the main menu
select the following items in sequence:
"Settings", "Driver assistance" and "Rear
Back-up Camera". The following
sub-menu appears:

Grille.
Select "Activate" to activate the camera
view on the Connect system display.
Every time reverse is engaged, the
display of the Connect system, fig. 115,
shows the area around the vehicle, as
seen by the Rear Back-up Camera.
SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAY
If activated, the grid is positioned on the
image to highlight the width of the
vehicle and the expected reversing path
in accordance with the steering wheel
position.
A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the vehicle to
facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow
hook alignment. The various coloured
areas indicate the distance from the rear
of the vehicle.
