USB Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018 Owner's Manual

When the engine is started, the warning
light illuminates briefly to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) or when REVERSE is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary or the
vehicle is in PARK (P).
The detection area of the system covers
approximately a lane on both sides of the
vehicle which is around 9 feet (3 m).
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for approximately 19 feet (6 m)
toward the rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether an alert needs to be sent to the
driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
of the presence of fixed objects (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an
aid to help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the
BSM system, always check your vehicle’s
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use
your turn signal before changing lanes.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
Note:
For the system to operate properly,
the rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located with
any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack,
etc.).
If you wish to install a rear tow eye
after purchasing the vehicle, you will
need to deactivate the system via the
Information and Entertainment System.
To access the function, select the
following items in sequence on the main
menu:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Safety.”
3. “Blind Spot Alert.”
Rear View
The system detects vehicles coming from
the rear part of your vehicle on both sides
and entering the rear detection area with
a difference in speed of less than 31 mph
(50 km/h) in relation to your vehicle.0434132127USBSM Indicator Light

BATTERY RECHARGING
Important Notes
Warning!
Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery: it may explode because of the
nitrogen trapped inside the ice crystals.
At all times while charging or recharging
the battery, make sure that any sparks or
open flames are kept sufficiently far away
from the battery.
Note:
Before using the charging device,
always make sure that it is appropriate
for the installed battery, with constant
voltage (below 14.8 V) and low
amperage (maximum 15 A).
Recharge the battery in a well
ventilated environment.
Before using any devices to charge or
to maintain the charge of the battery,
carefully follow the instructions
provided with the device in order to
properly and safely connect it to the
vehicle battery.
You can recharge the battery without
disconnecting the wires of the vehicle's
electrical system.
To reach the battery, remove the load
floor inside the liftgate.
Locate the battery access panel under
the load floor.
Remove the protective cover and
connect the positive cable terminal of the
charger (usually red) to the positive
terminal (+) of the battery.
Connect the negative terminal of the
charger (usually black) to nut next to the
negative terminal (-) of the battery.
