Page: 169 / 324

Sufficient distance from the cars ahead
may not be guaranteed in these cases.
Stationary objects and cars
The device cannot detect the presence of
stationary cars or objects. For example,
the device will not operate if the vehicle
ahead leaves the lane and a vehicle ahead
of that one is standing on the lane. Pay
the utmost attention at all times and be
always ready to press the brakes if
needed.
Objects and cars moving in opposite or
crosswise direction
The device cannot detect the presence of
objects or vehicles travelling in opposite
or crosswise direction fig. 181 and
consequently will not be operated.
WARNING
120) Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press the
brakes if needed.
121) The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
122) The device is not activated in presence
of pedestrians, oncoming vehicles in the
opposite direction of travel or moving in the
crosswise direction and stationary objects
(e.g. a vehicle standing in a queue or a broken
down vehicle).
123) The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
124) The device does not always fully
recognise complex driving conditions that
could cause it to determine the safe distance
to be held incorrectly or not at all.
125) The device cannot apply the maximum
braking force: the car will not be stopped
completely.
IMPORTANT
40) The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
41) The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with adhesives,
auxiliary headlights or any other object.
42) Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front geometry,
tyre change, or a heavier load than the
standard load of the vehicle.
43) Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to an Alfa
Romeo Dealership for any operation of this
type.
44) Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of a
sensor failure, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
45) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical connector.
