2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Turn

Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically turns from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
This function is enabled with the
Information and Entertainment System,
and can only be activated with the light
switch turned to the
(auto) position.
If the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/warning light
will illuminate
in the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 37 mph
(60 km/h) and the function is active, the
lights will turn off if the multifunction
lever is pushed again.
When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function turns the high beam headlights
off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
again (pushing the multifunction lever
towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will illuminate in the
instrument panel, and the main beam
headlights only will be on until the speed
exceeds 37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic
functioning is reactivated. If the multifunction lever is pushed again
with the Automatic High Beam
Headlights activated, the function
deactivates.
This feature can also be deactivated by
rotating the headlight switch to the
position.
Note: If the system recognizes heavy
traffic areas, the automatic functions
remain disabled independently of the
vehicle’s speed.
Turn Signals
To activate the turn signals, move the
multifunction lever, located on the left
side of the steering wheel, up or down
until it reaches the detent. Moving the
lever upward flashes the right turn signal
and moving the lever downward will flash
the left turn signal.
The
orturn signal will blink on the
instrument panel.
The turn signals turn off automatically
when the vehicle is brought back onto a
straight course.
“Lane Change” Function
Tap the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash five times.
Then, the turn signal (right or left) will
automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of
the cycle, move the lever in the opposite
direction until the first click (about half
way).
