STARTING AND DRIVING
182
During the manoeuvring phase, the driver
is also supported by information from
the parking sensors, which warn of any
obstacles around the car.
If the Active ParkAssist function is
activated after the ParkAssist system
has previously been deactivated, the
sensors will be temporarily reactivated
for the duration of the parking
manoeuvre.
PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR
PARKING DESCRIPTION
Activation
To activate the Active ParkAssist
system, press the button located on the
central tunnel fig. 193: the system will be
activated in the search phase and the
ultrasonic sensors will start scanning
the space around the car for the most
suitable parallel and perpendicular
parking spaces.
If the system has detected a suitable
parking space before it has been
activated, the search phase will not be
carried out and the Alfa Connect system
display will directly give instructions to
start the insertion manoeuvre.
Selecting the type of parking
During the search phase and, in general,
before reverse gear is engaged to begin
the parking manoeuvre, it is possible to
change the type of parking desired by
acting on the Alfa Connect system:
“ Parallel ”: the car will search a parking
place parallel to the travel direction
“ Perpendicular ”: the car will search a
parking place perpendicular to the travel
direction
Selection of the search side
To choose the search side on which the
manoeuvre is to be carried out, use the
direction indicator.
If no direction indicator is set, the system
will consider the passenger's side as the
default search side.
Search for a parking place
Through the side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking
place, suitable for the car’s dimensions.
While searching the vehicle should
continue following its lane at a speed
of below 30 km/h and at a distance
of around 50 cm to 2 m from parked
vehicles.
A parking space is considered suitable
if it is approximately 80 m longer
compared to the dimensions of the car.
WARNING While searching, vehicle
speed should not exceed 30 km/h;
when 25 km/h have been reached, the
driver is asked to decrease the speed;
if the speed of 30 km/h is exceeded, it
is deactivated (in this case, press the
button on the instrument panel fig. 193
again).
Manoeuvre
The movements of the car can be
controlled while manoeuvring using the
accelerator and brake pedals. Once
a parking place has been found, you
will be asked to engage reverse, leave
the steering wheel and use the pedals,
while the system handles the steering
automatically to perform the parking
operation in the dedicated area.
While manoeuvring, the acoustic and
visual indications provided by the
parking sensors can be used, but it is
always recommended to maintain visual
control of the surrounding area.
The car can be stopped during the
manoeuvre and, whilst remaining
stationary, temporarily stopping the
movement (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to go by in the area of the
manoeuvre).
The parking manoeuvre will be
interrupted in the following cases:
the speed of the car is above 7 km/h
the steering is (voluntarily or
unintentionally) moved (by grabbing it or
preventing it from moving)
uneven road surface or obstacles
before the wheels, affect movements of
the car, thus preventing it from following
the correct path
following the opening of the driver's
side door or the tailgate
