2022 ALFA ROMEO STELVIO light

STARTING AND OPERATING

100

Resume Button Location
In AutoStick (sequential) mode, before resuming
the previously set speed, you should accelerate
until you are close to that speed. Then, push and
release the RES button.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the Cruise
Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise Control
system
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the Cruise Control
functions with controlling the distance from the
vehicle ahead. ACC increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control
function performs differently

Ú
page 98.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC
uses a radar sensor located behind the front
bumper and a camera located in the center/
upper part of the windshield, to detect the
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
The system sets and holds the vehicle at the
desired speed without needing to press the
accelerator. It also sets and holds a distance
from the vehicle ahead (these settings are set by
the driver).
Front Bumper Radar Location Windshield Camera Location
If the system detects a vehicle ahead, it will
automatically intervene by slightly braking or
accelerating in order to maintain the preset
distance. It will not exceed the original set speed
when adapting to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not guar -
anteed under the following circumstances, and it
is recommended to turn the system off when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads, roads
with steep inclines, or roads with numerous
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed

(Continued)
When you push the RES/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 shift 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.
To Resume
Once the system has been canceled but not
deactivated, to resume a previously set speed,
simply push the RES/SET switch upward and
remove your foot from the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored speed.
Setting The Distance Between Vehicles
The distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead may be set to one bar (short), two
bars (medium), three bars (long), or four bars
(maximum).Distance Icons
The distances from the vehicle ahead are propor -
tional to speed.
The interval of time with relation to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies from one
second (for the short distance one-bar setting) to
two seconds (for the maximum distance four-bar
setting).
The set distance is shown on the display by a
dedicated icon.
The setting is four bars (maximum) the first time
the system is used. After the distance has been
modified by the driver, the new distance will be
stored even if the system is deactivated and
reactivated.
To Decrease The Distance
Push and release the distance button to decrease
the distance setting. The distance setting
decreases by one bar (shorter) every time the
button is pushed. Distance Button
The set speed is held if there are no vehicles
ahead. Once the shortest distance has been
selected, the next push of the button will set the
maximum distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the same lane,
the vehicle icon on the display illuminates from
grey to white. The system automatically adjusts
the vehicle’s speed to keep the set distance,
independently of the set speed.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
higher than the set speed.
The vehicle ahead leaves the lane or the
detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control
system sensor.
The distance setting is changed.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system is
deactivated/paused.
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.
WARNING!
The maximum braking applied by the system
is limited. The driver may apply the brakes in
all cases if needed.

OPERATION
HAS only operates when the driver’s hands are on
the steering wheel.
If the system detects that the driver’s hands have
been removed from the steering wheel, the
system will alert the driver to place their hands
back on the steering wheel

Ú
page 108.
If the vehicle crosses the lane boundary, the
steering wheel will vibrate and the dedicated
screen will appear in the instrument cluster
display.

NOTE:
HAS may take up to five seconds to turn on once
all conditions are met. During this time, a grey
indicator light will appear on the instrument
cluster display and the system will automatically
activate as soon as all of the conditions are met
with no intervention from the driver.
The following conditions must be met before HAS
turns on:
HAS must be enabled by pushing the button on
the steering wheel
The vehicle must be on a highway
ACC must be activated
The right and left lane boundaries must be
visible
The vehicle speed must be between 0 and
90 mph (0 and 145 km/h)
The camera, radar, and radio system must be
functioning properly
The road lane width must be between 8.5 ft
and 13.7 ft (2.6 m and 4.2 m)
The turn signals must not be activated
HAS must be functioning properly
Other operating limits:
If the speed of ACC can be set to a higher value
(top speed 110 mph (180 km/h), HAS is only
available as long as the vehicle speed is equal
to or less than 90 mph (145 km/h).
When the ACC speed is reduced and the
vehicle speed is less than 90 mph (145 km/h),
the system will automatically reactivate.
If the ACC speed is set to 90 mph (145 km/h),
traveling downhill may increase the vehicle
speed. HAS will deactivate until the speed
returns to 90 mph (145 km/h).
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The HAS status can always be viewed in the
instrument cluster display.
The system status is indicated by the color of the
symbol on the display.
HAS uses sensors in the steering wheel to detect
if the driver’s hands are on it.
If the driver’s hands are not on the steering
wheel, a series of warnings will appear in the
instrument cluster display to alert the driver to
reposition their hands on the steering wheel. An
acoustic signal will also sound. After a period of
time, HAS will disable if the driver’s hands do not
return to the steering wheel.

TRAFFIC JAM ASSIST (TJA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system can be
activated on all road types. The system uses a
camera to detect lane markings and keep the
vehicle in the center of the lane. When the system is unable to detect lane
markings, it will still operate using surrounding
traffic. This can occur in congested traffic
scenarios, when the vehicles ahead or
surroundings obstruct the visibility of the lane
markings. When the speed is below 12 mph
(20 km/h), the system can use a lock-on strategy
that allows the vehicle to automatically follow the
vehicle ahead.
The TJA system combines Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) functions with Lane Departure Warning
functions to maintain vehicle speed and steering
wheel behavior.

NOTE:
Do not use the TJA system while driving in urban
areas.
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
To activate the system, push the button on the
left side of the steering wheel.

TRAFFIC SIGN
RECOGNITION (TSR)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system uses a
camera mounted on the windshield to detect
recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
Signs indicating the end of the situations
indicated above If the camera does not detect valid speed limits,
the radio system navigation system may suggest
unregulated speed limits.
The system always checks the traffic signs
indicating the current speed limit signs. The
system is able to recognize and display up to two
different road signs in the instrument cluster
display.
Depending on the unit of measurement (km or
mph) set through the Unit of Measurement menu
in the radio system, the TSR system will automat
-
ically show the indication of the road sign in the
unit of measurements selected in the instrument
cluster display.
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
The TSR system can be activated/deactivated in
the radio system in the Driver Assistance menu.
The system activation is signaled by road signs
shown on the instrument cluster display.

NOTE:

By selecting “Blinking”, the driver can activate
a warning to display when the speed exceeds
the limit indicated by the TSR system. The
speed road sign on the instrument cluster
display will blink until the vehicle speed drops
below the displayed limit.
Selecting “Offset” will set the speed at which
“Blinking” is activated up to a maximum of
6 mph (10 km/h) above the limit detected by the system.
If no speed limit signs are found, the system
