park assist Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 Owner's Manual

43)TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
44)The TC system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot increase
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
45)The TC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
46)The capability of the TC must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
47)The PBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot increase
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
48)The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
49)The capability of the PBA system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to compromise
the safety of the driver, the other occupants
of the vehicle or any other road user.
50)The HSA system is not a parking brake;
therefore, never leave the vehicle without
having engaged the electric parking brake,
turned the engine off and engaged first gear,
so that it is parked in safe conditions (for
further information read the "Parking"
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).51)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle laden,
in which the Hill Start Assist system may not
activate, causing a slight reversing motion
and increasing the risk of collision with
another vehicle or object. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
52)The AST system is an aid for driving and
does not relieve the driver of responsibility
for driving the vehicle.
53)The performance of a vehicle with HDC
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.DRIVING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
The vehicle can feature the following
driving assistance systems:
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring);
FCW (Forward Collision Warning);
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System).
For the operation of the systems, see the
following pages.
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring)SYSTEM
The BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring) system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
rear bumper (one for each side - see
fig. 60 ), to detect the presence of
vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes, etc.) in
the rear side blind spots of your vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up the warning light on
6006016V0001EM

SAFETY

RCP (Rear Cross Path detection) system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection areas on both sides of the car,
to detect objects moving towards the
sides of the car at a minimum speed
between about 0.6 mph and 2 mph
(1 km/h and 3 km/h) and objects moving
at a maximum speed of 22 mph
(35 km/h), as generally happens in
parking areas.
The system activation is signalled to the
driver by means of a visual and acoustic
warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will not
warn the driver.
Operating mode
The system may be activated/
deactivated via the Connect system. To
access the function, on the main menu
select the following items in sequence:
"Settings", "Safety" and "Blind Spot
Alert"."Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode
When the system is enabled, a visual
warning is sent to the door mirror on the
side of the detected object.
The visual warning on the mirror will blink
if the driver switches on the direction
indicators, thus indicating the intention
to change lane.
The warning will be fixed if the driver
stays on the same lane.
"Blind spot alert" function deactivation
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
Spot Alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSM or
RCP systems will not emit neither
acoustic warnings.
The BSM system will store the operating
mode running when the engine was
stopped. Each time the engine is started,
the operating mode stored previously will
be recalled and used.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
SYSTEM
54) 55) 56) 57) 58)
19) 20) 21) 22) 23) 24) 25) 26) 27)
This is a driving assistance system
composed of a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 62 and a camera
located in the middle of the windscreen
fig. 63.In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the car to prevent the impact or
reduce its effects.
The system provides the driver with
acoustic and visual signals through
specific messages on the instrument
panel display.
The acoustic and visual signals before the
system cuts in depend on the car speed.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT
30)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
31)When the engine stopped never leave
the ignition device in the ON position to
prevent useless current draw from draining
the battery.
32)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be regularly
used, but an Alfa Romeo Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
33)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
104) 105) 106)
IMPORTANT In addition to parking the
vehicle with the parking brake always
engaged, the wheels turned, chocks or
stones positioned in front of the wheels
(when on a steep slope), you must always:
engage P (Park) mode;
always take the key with you when
leaving the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Always engage the electric
parking brake before leaving the vehicle.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The car is equipped with electric parking
brake to guarantee better use and
optimal performance compared to a
manually operated parking brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch, located on the central tunnel
fig. 96, a motor with caliper for each rear
wheel and an electronic control module.The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
manually, by pulling the switch on the
central tunnel;
automaticallyin "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
IMPORTANT Normally, the electric
parking brake is engaged automatically
when the engine is stopped. This function
can be deactivated/activated on the
Connect system by selecting the
following items in sequence on the main
menu: "Settings", "Driver assistance" and
"Automatic parking brake".
IMPORTANT Should the vehicle battery
be faulty, to unlock the electric parking
brake the battery must be replaced.

START & STOP EVO
The Stop/Start Evo automatically stops
the engine each time the vehicle is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
NOTE The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run at
about 6.2 mph (10 km/h). After an
automatic restart, to stop the engine you
only need to move the car (exceed a
speed of 0.3 mph (0.5 km/h).
Engine stopping is signalled by the
symbol lighting up on the instrument
panel display.Restarting the engine
To restart the engine, release the brake
pedal.
With the brake pressed and the
transmission in automatic mode D
(Drive), the engine will restart by shifting

VERSIONS WITH 4/8 SENSORS
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 111 (4-channel versions) or
front and rear fig. 112 (8-channel
versions), detect the presence of any
obstacles and warn the driver about
them, through an acoustic warning and,
where provided, visual indications on the
instrument panel display.On/off
To disengage the system, press button
fig. 113.
The LED in the button will light up or not
when the system switches from on to off
(and vice versa).
LED off: system activated;
LED light on steady: system
deactivated;
If the button is pressed with a systemfailure, the LED flashes for about
5 seconds, then it stays on constantly.
When the ignition device is set to ON the
Park Sensors system keeps the last state
when the engine was stopped (activated
or deactivated) in its memory.
System activation/deactivation
When the reverse gear is engaged, the
system when engaged, activates the
front and rear sensors (where provided).
When the reverse gear is engaged and
the system is on, the front and rear
sensors are activated. If a different gear
is engaged, the rear sensors are
deactivated, while the front sensors
remain active until 9.3 mph (15 km/h) are
exceeded.
Operation with a trailer
The operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer is plugged to the tow hook socket
of the car, while the front sensors (where
provided) stay active and can provide
acoustic and visual warnings.
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
Important notes
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance

127

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 vehicle, 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;
parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres,
overloading the vehicle or carrying out
specific tuning operations that require
the vehicle to be lowered;
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 tow hook
ball assembly when the vehicle is not
used for towing. Failure to comply with
this prescription may cause personal
injuries or damage to vehicles or
obstacles since, when the continuous
acoustic warning is emitted, the tow hook
ball is already in a position that is muchcloser 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.
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to place
stickers on the sensors.
WARNING
120)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
44)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.
45)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.
46)Only have the bumpers 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.
