STARTING AND DRIVING
186
WARNING
159) Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always
make sure that there are no other people
(especially children), animals or obstacles
on the route you want to take. The system
is a help for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
160) The system is designed to be used
during the day or in good light conditions.
Do not use or rely on the system in low light
conditions.
161) The distance and trajectory lines should
be used as references and only if the car
is on a level road. The distance shown on
the Alfa Connect system display should be
regarded as a reference and may differ
from the actual distance between the
vehicle and any objects displayed.
162) Any objects above the cameras are not
detected.
IMPORTANT
61) To avoid damage to the car, the camera
system should only be used as a parking
assist system because the cameras cannot
detect every type of obstacle or object
located in the trajectory of the car.
62) When using the system, the car must
also be driven at low speed to allow it to
stop quickly if an obstacle is detected. When
reversing, the driver is advised to look
behind when using the system.
63) The cameras must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the cameras while cleaning it.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
cameras must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of vehicle shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations which use
steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
cameras quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors.
64) Take care that the side mirrors
are correctly opened to ensure correct
positioning and operation of the cameras.
65) If one or more cameras fail, the
corresponding view and the top view will be
obscured.
66) In the event of a system malfunction,
it is possible that the buttons on the Alfa
Connect system display for view selection
are temporarily inoperative and are
consequently shown in grey.

an acoustic warning and with visual
indications on the Alfa Connect system
display.
