STARTING AND DRIVING
190
for driving the car. Always respect the
highway code of the country you are driving
in.
165) When the system is active, the driver
is responsible for controlling the car and
monitoring the system, and must be ready
to intervene as appropriate if necessary.
IMPORTANT
69) Functionality may be limited or the
system may not work if the sensor is
obstructed.
70) The system may have limited operation
or not work at all in weather conditions,
such as heavy rain, hail, thick fog and low
temperatures. Strong light contrasts can
influence the recognition capability of the
sensor.
71) The area surrounding the sensor must
not be covered with stickers or any other
object.
72) Do not tamper or perform any
operations in the area of the windscreen
glass directly surrounding the sensor.
73) Clean the windscreen glass from
foreign matters such as bird droppings,
insects, snow or ice. Use specific detergents
and clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windscreen.
INTELLIGENT SPEED ASSIST
(where provided)
The system can be used to set a speed
limit equal to that indicated on the
road sign detected by the “Traffic Sign
Recognition” system (see the respective
chapter in this section for more
information), indicated to the driver by
means of an indication on the instrument
panel.
The maximum speed can be set both with
car stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
SPEED LIMIT PROGRAMMING
The system can be activated if the driver
has activated the systems beforehand:
Speed Limiter
Traffic Sign Recognition
A message indicating that a speed
limit switch to that detected by the
Traffic Sign Recognition system can be
programmed on the instrument panel
display with these systems active.
If the speed is higher than the current
speed level stored by the Speed
Limiter, message
will appear on the
instrument panel.
If the speed shown by the Traffic Sign
Recognition is lower than the current
speed level stored by the Speed
Limiter, message will appear on the
instrument panel.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
If the driver has selected the
confirmation capture option on the
Alfa Connect system settings (see
"Settings" > "Safety & Driving Assist" >
"Intelligent Speed Assist" on the Alfa
Connect system online supplement),
upon recognition of a new speed limit,
the "Traffic Sign Recognition" system
will suggest the new limit via a message
on the instrument cluster display.
The driver can accept the new limit by
turning the ring (1) fig. 198 towards SET+
within the first 5 seconds of the new road
sign appearing to set the new system
speed limit to the speed suggested by
the sign.
If the driver has selected the automatic
capture option on the Alfa Connect
system settings, on recognition of a new
road sign, the Traffic Sign Recognition
system will automatically set the speed
of the newly detected limit on the
Adaptive Cruise Control. The driver
can reject the new limit by turning the
ring (1) towards SET+ within the first 5
seconds of the new road sign appearing
and the speed being adjusted. Activation
is indicated by the symbol
on the
display (e.g. in the case of a 30 km/h
