2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio active

Pausing/Deactivating
With the feature enabled (speed not
set), push the
button to disable.
With the feature active (speed set),
push the
button to pause. The
display will show the icon in white with
the speed in brackets. To deactivate the
feature, push the
button a second
time.
Setting The Desired
Speed
The speed can be set from a minimum
of 20 mph (30 km/h) to a maximum of
110 mph (180 km/h).
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, raise/lower the SET switch and
release it to activate the system. When
the accelerator is released, the vehicle
will keep the selected speed
automatically. While the accelerator pedal is pressed,
the system will not be able to control
the distance between the vehicle and
the one ahead. In this case, the speed
will be determined only by the position
of the accelerator pedal.
The system will return to normal
operation as soon as the accelerator
pedal is released.
The system
cannotbe set:
When pressing the brake pedal.
When the brakes are overheated.
When the electric park brake has
been operated.
When either P (PARK), R (REVERSE)
or N (NEUTRAL) is engaged.
When the engine rpm is above a
maximum threshold.
When the vehicle speed is not within
the operational speed range.
When the ESC (or ABS or other
stability control systems) are operating
or have just operated.
When the ESC system is off.
When the Forward Collision Warning
Plus system (if equipped) is braking
automatically.
In the event of system failure.
When the engine is off.
In case of obstruction of the radar
sensor (in this case the bumper area
where it is located must be cleaned).
If the system is set, the conditions
described above also cause a
cancellation or deactivation of the
system. These situations may vary
according to the conditions.
Note:
The system will not be deactivated
when speeds higher than those set are
reached by pressing the accelerator
pedal above 110 mph (180 km/h). In
these situations, the system may not
work correctly and it is recommended
to deactivate it.
Changing Speed
Increasing speed
Once the system has been activated,
you can increase the speed by lifting
the SET switch. Each time it is
operated, the speed increases by
1 mph.
By holding the button up, the set speed
will increase in increments of five mph
until the button is released. Then, the
new speed will be set.
Decreasing speed
Once the system has been activated,
you can decrease the speed by
lowering the SET switch. Each time it is
operated, the speed decreases by
1 mph.
GUID-07146S0017EMSET Switch
157

By holding the button down, the set
speed will decrease in increments of
five mph until the button is released.
Then, the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you
to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"metric") set on the Connect system
(see dedicated supplement).
When the unit of measurement is
set to metric, holding the SET switch
the speed will change in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In
this case, use the SET switch to set
the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
When you push the SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the vehicle down
sufficiently to reach the set speed. The
device holds the set speed uphill and
downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight
inclines.
The transmission could change to a
lower gear when driving downhill, or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving
if the brakes overheat.
Accelerating When
Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing
the vehicle. This additional acceleration
is triggered when the driver utilizes the
left turn signal and will only be active
when passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is deactivated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator and returns to
the original lane.
Resuming The Speed
Once the system has been canceled
but not deactivated, to resume a
previously set speed, simply push the
RES button and remove your foot from
the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed. Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then push the RES button and
release it.
Warning!
The Resume function should only be used
if traffic and road conditions permit.
Resuming a set speed that is too high or
too low for prevailing traffic and road
conditions could cause the vehicle to
accelerate or decelerate too sharply for
safe operation. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

“Stop And Go” Function
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy
allows you to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead until the vehicle
has completely stopped. It will also
restart the vehicle automatically if the
vehicle ahead drives away within two
seconds, otherwise it is necessary to
press the accelerator pedal or push the
RES button to restart.
Warning!
When the ACC system is resumed, the
driver must ensure that there are no
pedestrians, vehicles or objects in the path
of the vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated and the set
speed is canceled if:
Thebutton on the Active Cruise
Control is pushed (with the system
enabled or paused).
The ignition is in STOP mode.
RACE mode is activated.
The system is canceled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
When the system is paused (Refer to
the “Activation / Deactivation” section).
When the conditions shown in the
“Setting The Desired Speed” section
occur.
Limited Operation
Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on
the display, a condition limiting the
Adaptive Cruise Control operation may
have occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of
the vehicles sensor or camera. It could
also be due to a fault in the system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield opposite the
interior rear view mirror, where the
camera is located, as well as the area
of the front bumper where the sensor is
located. Then check that the message
has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, normal operation will
resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an
authorized dealer.
Precautions While
Driving
The system may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below):
the driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Vehicle Not Aligned
The system may not detect a vehicle
travelling in the same lane, in the same
direction, but is not aligned. It also may not detect a vehicle which is cutting in
from a side lane. Sufficient distance
from the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in
and out of the driving lane causing the
vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering And Curves
Driving on curves with the system set
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability, even if no
vehicles are detected ahead.
When leaving the curve, the system
resets the previously set speed.
Note:
In cases of narrow curves, the
performance of the system could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the system.GUID-07146S0011EMSteering And Curves

the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
11 inches (30 cm), and stops if the
distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
Note: If several obstacles are detected
by the sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of
warning they would like to be displayed
through the Connect system. To access
the function on the main menu, select in
the following order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Driver Assistance”
3. “ParkSense”
4. “Mode”
5. “Sound-Display”
Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
the detected area, in relation to the
distance of the object and the position
of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the rear
central area, a single arc will be
displayed as the obstacle approaches,
first constant, then flashing, in addition
to an acoustic signal. If the obstacle is detected in the rear left
and/or right area, a single flashing arc
will be shown in the corresponding area
on the display and the system will emit
an acoustic signal, either at frequent
intervals or constantly.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single flashing arc is
shown on the display and the acoustic
signal becomes continuous.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the rear area, the
display will show all of them, regardless
of the area in which they were detected.
The color on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.
It is possible to exit from the display
screen by pressing the Rotary Pad,
however, the acoustic alert will remain
active.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated when REVERSE is engaged
by a message on the instrument cluster
display. Refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further
information.
Messages On The Display
In case of system failure, a dedicated
message appears on the instrument
cluster for about 5 seconds.
Cleaning The Front Sensors
:Ifthe
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that
the outer surface and the underside
of the rear bumper is free of debris
(e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these
areas are clear, place the ignition in
STOP mode. Then, return it to ON
mode. If the message is still displayed,
contact an authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available :Ifthe
display shows a message that the
audio system is not available, it means
that the acoustic signal will be emitted
by the instrument panel, and not
through the vehicles speakers.
Note: Some conditions may influence
the performance of the ParkSense
system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could
be due to the presence of ice, snow,
mud, or thick paint on the surface of
the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle or in
extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can
be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
163

The indicator light within the ParkSense
switch will also be on in case of system
failure. If the switch is pushed with a
system failure, the indicator light will
flash for approximately five seconds.
The light will then stay on constantly.
System Activation/Deactivation
When the REVERSE gear is engaged
and the system is on, the front and rear
sensors are activated. If the vehicle
moves from REVERSE to a forward
gear, the rear sensors are deactivated,
while the front sensors remain active
until the speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is
exceeded.
Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the
front or the rear of the vehicle, an
acoustic signal with variable frequency
will sound:
The acoustic signal increases in
frequency as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes
continuous when the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
11 in (30 cm), and stops if the distance
increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
Note: If the sensors detect several
front and rear obstacles, the closest
obstacle is considered. An intermittent signal will sound if the obstacles are at
the same distance (front and rear).
When the system emits an acoustic
signal, the volume of the Connect
system, if activated, is automatically
lowered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of
warning they would like to be displayed
through the Connect system. To access
the function on the main menu, select in
the following order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Driver assistance”

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system
uses a forward looking camera located
on the windshield to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over
one without the an activated turn signal,
the system emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
surpassed line will light up on the
display (left or right) to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield,
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 windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively an authorized dealer.
Do not replace the windshield on your own.
It is advisable to replace the windshield if it
is damaged in the area of the camera.
System Activation/
Deactivation
The system is activated/deactivated by
pushing the button located on the end
of the turn signal lever.
Note: When the engine is started the
system is always activated.
Activation Conditions
The system becomes active only if the
following conditions are met:
The vehicle speed is above 37 mph
(60 km/h).
The lane limit lines are visible at least
on one side.
There are suitable visibility conditions.

The road is straight or with wide
radius bends.
A suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front.
The turn signal is not active.
Symbols And Messages
On The Display
The Lane Departure Warning system
advises the driver when the vehicle
leaves the driving lane by showing
symbols and messages on the
instrument cluster display.
When the system is active and the lane
limits have not been detected, the
display shows a grey vehicle icon. Exiting a lane with detection of a
single limit
When the system is active and only, for
example, the left lane limit has been
detected, the detected lane illuminates
in white on the display; the system is
ready to provide visual warnings on the
display in the event of unintentional
exiting of the lane (turn signal not
activated) to the left.
When the system detects that the
vehicle has approached the lane line
and is about to pass it, the left line on
the display illuminates in yellow.
The system operates in the same way,
but mirrored, in the event of exiting the
right lane when only the right lane limit
has been detected.

168
STARTING AND OPERATING

Exiting a lane with detection of
both limits
When the system is active, both lane
lines on the display illuminate in white to
indicate the successful detection of
both limits.
When lane limits are detected, the
system is ready to provide indications in
case the driver unintentionally leaves
the lane (turn signal not activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system
detects the lane limits while the vehicle
is in motion, it will adjust the display
accordingly (from white to yellow and
vice versa, and increase their
thickness).If a line is crossed, the driver is alerted
by an audible signal as well as the
visual indication in the instrument
cluster. The signal is emitted through
the speakers on the side of the lane
limit which is being crossed (eg. if the
vehicle is exceeding the left line of the
lane, the audible signal will come from
the speakers on the left of the vehicle).
Changing The System Settings
The system's sensitivity can be set
through the Connect system. Sensitivity
“High” or “Low” can be selected.
To access the function, from the main
menu select the following in order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Safety”
3. “Lane Departure Warning”
4. “Sensitivity”Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a
condition limiting the Lane Departure
Warning system operation may have
occurred. This could be an obstruction
of the camera view, or a fault in the
system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield by the interior
rear view mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
not function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system
are corrected, it will go back to normal
operation. Should a fault persist,
contact an authorized dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and
appears
on the display, it means that there is a
system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.GUID-07226S0005EMBoth Lane Limits Detected
