and could therefore cause damage to the
car or be damaged.
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to the
presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint,
on the surface of the sensor
The sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the car, in rain (strong
wind), hail
the signals sent by the sensor can also
be altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems
of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the
vehicle
the performance of the system can
be influenced by the position of the
sensors, e.g. by changing the set-up of
the car (due to wear of shock absorbers
or suspensions), replacing the tyres with
others of different sizes, travelling with a
laden car, installing specific set-ups to
lower the car
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place stickers on the sensors
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking
sensors. Before using the Park Sensors
system, it is recommended to remove
the removable tow hook assembly and
the relevant attachment from the car
when the latter is not used for towing
operations. Failure to comply with this
prescription may cause personal injuries
or damage to cars or obstacles since,
when the continuous acoustic warning
is emitted, the tow hook ball is already
in a position that is much closer to the
obstacle than the rear bumper. If you
wish to leave the tow hook fitted without
towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership for the Park
Sensors system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected
as an obstacle by the central sensors
56)
Changing the system settings
System settings can be changed using
the Alfa Connect system (see "Settings"
> "Safety & Driving Assist" > "Volume
Park Sensors front" and "Volume Park
Sensors rear" supplement on Alfa
Connect system online).
WARNING
155) 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) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
56) The sensors 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 sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or
hard cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm
away.
57) Have interventions on the bumper in the
area of the sensors carried out only by an
Alfa Romeo Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
58) Only have the bumper repainted or any
retouches to the paintwork in the area of
the sensors carried out by an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Incorrect paint application could
affect the operation of the parking sensors.
