seat memory Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016 Owner's Manual

following items in sequence: "Settings",
"Safety", "Forward Collision Warning" and
"Status".
The system can be deactivated even with
the ignition device ON.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill only.
Activation/deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning system is
activated whenever the engine is started
regardless of that shown on the Connect
system.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
collision with the preceding vehicle,
regardless of the setting selected with
the Connect system.
IMPORTANT Each time the engine is
started, the system is activated
regardless of where was when it was
previously switched off.
This function is not active at a speed
lower than 4 mph (7 km/h) or higher than
125 mph (200 km/h).
The system is active when:
each time the engine is started;
is active (ON) on the Connect system;
the ignition device is at ON;
the vehicle speed is between 4 (7) and
125 mph (200 km/h);
the front seat belts are fastened;
the "Alfa DNA™ Pro" selector is not in
RACE position (where present).
Changing the system sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Connect system
menu, choosing from one of the following
three options: "Near", "Med" or "Far". See
the description in the Connect system
supplement for how to change the
settings.
The pre-set option is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when that vehicle is at a greater distance,
thus providing the possibility of acting on
the brakes more lightly and gradually.
This setting provides the drivers with the
maximum possible reaction time to
prevent a potential accident.
With the option set to "Near", the system
will warn the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when that vehicle
is close. This setting offers the driver a
lower reaction time compared to the
"Med" and "Far" settings, in the event of a
potential collision, but permits more
dynamic driving of the vehicle.The system sensitivity setting is kept in
the memory when the engine is switched
off.
System limited operation signal
If the dedicated message is displayed, a
condition limiting the system operation
may have occurred. The possible reasons
of this limitation are something blocking
the camera view or a fault.
In this condition it will still be possible to
drive the car normally, but automatic
braking will not be available in the event
of an impending collision.
If an obstruction is signalled, clean the
area of the windscreen indicated in
fig. 69.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation. Should the fault
persist, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
System failure signalling
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as
possible.
