For the operation of the DAA, LDW, LKA, HAS,
TJA, ACC, ISC, or TSR systems, see
Ú
page 86.
NOTE:
When driving on two-way roads where there is
no lane dividing center line (e.g. on unpaved
roads), the use of the ABSA, HAS, TJA, and LKA
systems is strongly discouraged as the system
could detect the entire road as single-lane
dividing lines.
NOTE:
The driving assistance systems are designed
to aid in driving the car. The driver must always
maintain a sufficient level of attention to the
traffic and road conditions and control the
trajectory of the car.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System — If
Equipped
The BSM system uses radar sensors, located
in the rear fascia/bumper, to detect the pres -
ence of other vehicles in the rear side blind
spots of your vehicle.
Rear Sensor Location The system warns the driver about the pres
-
ence of other vehicles in the detection area by
illuminating the warning light located within
the door mirror on the side in which the other
vehicle was detected. If equipped, an audible
chime will also be heard to alert the driver (if
option is selected within the radio system).
BSM Indicator Light
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.
The detection area of the system covers
approximately one lane on both sides of the
vehicle, which is around 9 ft (3 m). This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for approximately 19 ft (6 m) towards
the rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system moni
-
tors 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 detec -
tion zone in three different situations:
when you are being overtaken by a vehicle;
when you are overtaking a vehicle;
when a vehicle approaches from the side;
to check whether it is necessary to send a
signal to the driver on both sides.
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 acti -
vate 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.
If a trailer is hitched to the car, the system
automatically deactivates.

151
NOTE:
For the system to operate properly, the rear
fascia/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 fascia/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 radio system.
To access the function, select the following
items in sequence on the main menu:a. “Driver Assistance”
b. “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 differ
-
ence in speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h)
in relation to your vehicle.
Overtaking Vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly, with a
difference in speed of less than approximately
15 mph (25 km/h) and the vehicle stays in the
blind spot for approximately 1.5 seconds, the
warning light on the door mirror of the corre -
sponding side illuminates.
If the difference in speed between the two
vehicles is greater than approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h), the warning light does not illumi -
nate.
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) System
The Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) system
assists the driver during reverse maneuvers in
the case of reduced visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle to detect
objects moving toward the sides of the vehicle,
with a minimum speed between approximately
1 mph (1 km/h) and 2 mph (3 km/h) and objects moving at a maximum speed of
21 mph (35 km/h), in areas such as parking
lots. The system activation is signaled to the driver
by an audible warning.
NOTE:
If the sensors are covered by objects or
vehicles, the system may not work as
intended.
For the system to operate correctly, the rear
fascia/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 fascia/bumper area
where the radar sensors are located with
any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.).
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.
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Operating Mode
The system may be activated/deactivated via
the radio system. To access the function,
select the following items on the main menu in
sequence:
1. “Driving Assistance”
2. “Blind Spot Alert”
“Blind Spot Alert”, “Visual” Mode
When the system is enabled, the warning light
within the door mirror on the side of the
detected object illuminates.
The visual warning on the mirror will blink if the
driver activates the turn signals, indicating a
lane change.
The warning light will be constant if the driver
stays in the same lane.
“Blind Spot Alert” Function Deactivation
When the system is deactivated (“Blind Spot
Alert” mode off), the BSM or RCP systems will
not emit an audible or a visual warning.
The BSM system will store the operating mode
that was active when the engine was stopped.
Each time the engine is started, the operating
mode stored previously will be recalled and
used

page 268.
Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) System — If
Equipped
The ABSA system is to help avoid/limit lateral
collisions with cars coming from adjacent lanes changing the vehicle’s trajectory in order
to try to keep it in the detected lane.
The system warns the driver about the pres
-
ence of other vehicles in the detection area by
illuminating the warning light located within
the door mirror on the side in which the other
vehicle was detected and by means of an
acoustic signal and/or vibration on the
steering wheel and/or counter-steering torque
on the steering wheel (if the respective item on
the “Driver Assistance” menu is set up and
then “Safety” is selected on the radio system).
When the engine is started, the warning light
illuminates briefly to signal the driver that the
system is active (the warning light comes on
even if the system is activated through the
radio system menu).
ABSA Indicator Light Sensors
The system uses radar sensors, located in the
rear fascia/bumper, to detect the presence of
vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes, etc.) in the
rear side blind spots of the car.
WARNING!
The accident risk persists despite the
application of torque to the steering wheel
by the ABSA system.
Applying a torque that corrects the
steering wheel alignment does not always
prevent an accident. It is always the
driver's responsibility to steer, brake or
accelerate, especially after the ABSA
system warning or after the steering wheel
torque intervention. The driver is respon
-
sible for ensuring that there are no pedes -
trians, other vehicles or objects along the
direction of the vehicle. Failure to comply
with these precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
In some cases, the system could apply an
improper torque to the steering wheel.
This application can be interrupted at any
time turning the steering wheel in the
opposite direction.
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 152
Page 156 of 280

SAFETY
154
The application of torque, as well as of the
vibration, is suppressed/inhibited if:
The torque given by the driver of the
steering wheel is high
Lateral acceleration is high
The trailer is connected to the correct
control module
At least one hand is not detected on the
steering wheel for longer than a specific
time
The turn signal is turned off
NOTE:
The steering wheel torque is not applied if the
system is unable to detect a lane and if the
direction indicator for the appropriate side has
not been switched on.
The steering wheel detects the presence of
the driver’s hands by a capacitive sensor
installed in the steering wheel and by the
applied torque measured on the steering
column.
System availability
Aggressive driving of the car, or driving on the
median lines, will prevent the correct opera -
tion of the system. In case of intervention of the stability and
braking systems (FCW, ESC, ABS) they will
prevent the system from operating.
Lane change will disable the system for a
certain period of time.
The road must also comply with some specific
characteristics, such as:
Maximum/minimum lane width.
Clearly identified and defined double yellow
lines and, for a limited period of time, a lane
with a single demarcation line.
NOTE:
In some cases, for a limited period of time, the
system may be activated by a lane with a
single median line.
In cases of good road surface conditions, the
system could correctly recognize other types
of valid lane markings (e.g. road edges, side -
walks, etc.).
Hands Presence On The Steering Wheel
Detection
The system is able to detect the presence of
the driver’s hands on the steering wheel.
When the system does not detect the pres -
ence of hands on the steering wheel for 0 to 6
seconds, the following screen will be displayed
on the instrument cluster display. No acoustic
warning will be emitted in this case. Hand Presence On The Steering Wheel Not
Detected Display (Up To 6 Seconds)
When the system does not detect the pres -
ence of hands on the steering wheel from 6 to
15 seconds, the following screen will be
displayed on the instrument cluster display. A
short acoustic signal will sound if hands are
not detected on the steering wheel for 6 to
12 seconds. A continuous signal will sound if
hands are not detected on the steering wheel
for 12 to 15 seconds.
Hand Presence On The Steering Wheel Not Detected Display (6 To 15 Seconds)
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 154
Page 157 of 280

155
After 15 seconds with the hands removed
from the steering wheel, the LKA system will
be deactivated and a dedicated message will
be shown on the instrument cluster display. A
short acoustic signal will sound in this case.
In any of the situations above where the hands
are removed from the steering wheel for more
than 6 seconds, it is necessary to reposition
the hands on the steering wheel.
Changing The System Sensitivity
The system's sensitivity can be set through the
radio system. Select the “Driver Assistance”
menu and then select “Comfort”. Sensitivity
“High” or “Low” can be selected.
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) System
The Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) system
assists the driver during reverse maneuvers in
the case of reduced visibility.
When the ABSA system is active, the RCP
system monitors the rear detection areas on
both sides of the vehicle to detect objects
moving towards the sides of the vehicle at a
minimum speed between 0.6 mph and 2 mph
(1 km/h and 3km/h) from objects moving at a
maximum speed of 22 mph (35 km/h).
These are generally occurrences that happen
in parking areas.
The system activation is signaled to the driver
by means of a visual and audible warning.
NOTE:
If the sensors are covered by objects or vehi-
cles, the system may not work as intended. Changing the system sensitivity

Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System — If
Equipped
The Driver Attention Assist (DAA) system
detects when the driver is feeling fatigued and
warns the driver to pull over and take a break.
To Activate/Deactivate
The DAA system can be activated and deacti -
vated through the radio system by selecting
the following in order:
1. “Driver Assistance”
2. “Driver Attention Assist”
System Intervention
Using information from the front camera, the
system implements two operating logics:
The first operating logic takes the driving
style into account, observing the road and
detecting to what extent the driver can
continue driving with few lane crossing
events.
The second operating logic measures the
time spent behind the wheel with the
vehicle speed above 40 mph (60 km/h) and below 110 mph (180 km/h). If the“Standard” option is selected, in these
conditions, the “Dozy Driver” message may
appear after three hours of driving. If the
“Early” option is selected and these condi -
tions occur, the “Dozy Driver” message will
be displayed after two hours of driving.
NOTE:
If the conditions described above are not
detected continuously during the entire driving
period, the “Dozy Driver” message may be
displayed later than two or three hours. If the
driving style indicates that the driver is unable
to follow the road trajectory and respect the
horizontal lane markings, the red symbol will
appear on the instrument cluster display to
suggest that the driver should stop for a break.
An audible signal will also sound.
If the driver accepts the suggestion provided
by the system by pushing the MENU button on
the multifunction lever, the message will
WARNING!
The DAA System is an aid for driving and
does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving the vehicle. If you
experience fatigue while driving, pull over
safely for a break without waiting for the
DAA to intervene. Only return to the road
when you are in the right physical and
mental condition to prevent endangering
yourself and other drivers.

disappear from the display and the symbol will
be displayed in the dedicated area of the
instrument cluster display until the next
engine shutdown.
If the driver ignores the warning provided by
the system and does not stop, the message
will continue to remain on the display, along
with the symbol.
NOTE:
In the event of a DAA system failure, an
amber symbol will appear in the instrument
cluster display along with a dedicated
message.
If the ABS system activates, “ABS ACTIVE”
will display in place of the DAA symbol and
will remain active until the ABS system
deactivates.

Changing The System Sensitivity
The DAA system intervention sensitivity can be
adjusted through the radio system within the
“Driver Assistance” menu.
NOTE:
If “Race” mode (if equipped) is activated,
the DAA system will be automatically deacti -
vated.
The system sensitivity cannot be changed in
the event of a camera system failure.
Forward Collision Warning Plus (FCW+)
System — If Equipped
This is a driving assistance system composed
of a radar located behind the front fascia/
bumper and a camera located in the center of
the windshield. Front fascia/bumper Radar Location
Windshield Camera Location
In the event of an imminent collision, the
system intervenes by automatically applying
the vehicle’s brakes to prevent a collision or
reduce its effects.
The system provides the driver with audible
and visual signals through specific messages
on the instrument cluster display.
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 156
Page 159 of 280

157
The audible and visual signals warn the driver
before the system activates, depending on the
vehicle speed.
NOTE:
No warning signals are generated at speeds
below 20 mph (30 km/h).The system may lightly brake to warn the driver
if a possible frontal accident is detected
(limited braking). Signals and limited braking
are intended to allow the driver to react
promptly, in order to prevent or reduce the
effects of a potential accident. In situations with the risk of collision, if the
system detects no intervention by the driver, it
provides automatic braking to help slow the
vehicle and mitigate the potential frontal colli
-
sion (automatic braking). If intervention by the
driver on the brake pedal is detected, but not
deemed sufficient, the system may intervene
in order to improve the reaction of the braking
system, therefore reducing vehicle speed
further (additional assistance in braking
stage).
The system will intervene automatically in
case of imminent collision or impact against a
pedestrian crossing the road (speed under
31 mph (50 km/h)).
NOTE:
For safety reasons, when the vehicle has
stopped, the brake calipers may remain
blocked for about two seconds. Make sure to
press the brake pedal if the vehicle moves
slightly forward. Engagement/Disengagement
The system may be disengaged (and engaged
again) in the “Driver Assistance” menu of the
Information and Entertainment system.
The system can be deactivated even with the
ignition device in the ON position.
NOTE:
The system status can be changed with car at
a standstill only.
Select from among three operating modes:
Warning and braking
: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and audible warn -
ings, provides limited braking, automatic
braking and additional assistance in the
braking stage, where the driver does not
brake sufficiently in the event of a potential
frontal impact.
Only warning : the system (if active), does
not provide limited braking, but guarantees
automatic braking or additional assistance
in the braking stage, where the driver does
not brake at all or not sufficiently in the
event of a potential frontal impact.
Disabled : the system does not provide
visual and audible warnings, limited
braking, automatic braking or additional
assistance in the braking stage. The system
will therefore provide no indication of a
possible collision.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow
this warning could lead to serious injury or
death.

Activation/Deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning system is acti-
vated whenever the engine is started regard -
less of what is shown on the radio system.
Following a deactivation, the system will not
warn the driver about the possible collision
with a preceding vehicle, regardless of the
setting selected in the radio system.
NOTE:
Each time the engine is started, the system is
activated regardless of what setting was
selected when the engine was turned off.
This function is not active at a speed lower
than 4 mph (7 km/h) or higher than 124 mph
(200 km/h).
The system is active:
Each time the engine is started
When feature is selected within the radio
system
When the ignition is in the ON position
When the vehicle speed is between 2 mph
(4 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h)
When the front seat belts are fastened
The "Alfa DNA Pro" selector is not in RACE
position (if equipped)
NOTE:
If the seat belts of the front seats are not
correctly fastened, the system will not inter -vene on the braking system (only audible and
visual signals will be provided).
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be changed
through the Information and Entertainment
system menu, choosing from one of the
following three options: "Near", "Medium" or
"Far". Refer to the description in the Informa
-
tion and Entertainment system Supplement
for how to change the settings.
The default setting is "Medium". 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 colli -
sion 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 driver
with the maximum possible reaction time to
prevent a potential collision.
With the option set to "Near", the system will
alert 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 "Medium" 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 turned off. System Limited Operation Warning
If a dedicated message is displayed, a condi
-
tion limiting the system operation may have
occurred. The possible reasons of this limita -
tion are something is blocking the camera
view or a fault.
If an obstruction is signaled, clean the area of
the radar on the front fascia/bumper, and the
camera area on the windshield.
If a fault in the system is occurring, it will still
be possible to drive the vehicle normally, but
automatic braking will not be available in the
event of an impending collision.
When the conditions limiting the system func -
tions end, this will go back to normal and
complete operation. Should the fault persist,
contact an authorized dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system turns off and a dedicated
message is shown on the display, it means
that there is a fault with the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar cannot
detect obstacles correctly, the system is deac -
tivated and a dedicated message appears on
the display. This generally occurs in the event
of poor visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 158
Page 161 of 280

159
The function of this system can also be tempo-
rarily reduced due to obstructions such as
mud, dirt or ice on the fascia/bumper. In such
cases, a dedicated message will be shown on
the display and the system will be deactivated.
This message can sometimes appear in condi -
tions of high reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with
reflective tiles or ice or snow). When the condi -
tions limiting the system functions end, it will
go back to normal and complete operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message
could be displayed when the radar is not
detecting any vehicles or objects within its
view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the reason
behind this message, check if the sensor is
dirty. It could be necessary to clean or remove
any obstructions in the area.
If the message appears frequently, even in the
absence of atmospheric conditions such as
snow, rain, mud or other obstructions, contact
an authorized dealer for a sensor alignment
check.
In the absence of visible obstructions, manu -
ally removing the decorative cover trim and
cleaning the radar surface could be required.
Have this operation performed at an autho -
rized dealer.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not install
devices, accessories or aerodynamic attach
-
ments in front of the sensor or darken it in any
way, as this can compromise the correct func -
tioning of the system.
Frontal Collision Alarm With Active Braking — If
Equipped
If this function is selected, the brakes are
operated to reduce the speed of the vehicle in
the event of potential frontal impact.
This function applies an additional braking
pressure if the braking pressure applied by the
driver does not suffice to prevent potential
frontal impact.
The function is active with speed above 2 mph
(4 km/h).
NOTE:
When using an automatic car wash it is recom -
mended to deactivate the system through the
settings of the radio system. The system may
detect the presence of a car, a wall or another
obstacle and activate.
Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system interven -
tion might be unexpected or delayed. The
driver must therefore be very careful, keeping
control of the vehicle to drive in complete
safety.Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or not
aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
In particularly complex traffic conditions,
the driver can deactivate the system manu -
ally through the Information and Entertain -
ment system.
If the driver depresses the brake pedal fully
or makes an excessive steering maneuver
during system operation, the automatic
braking function may deactivate (e.g. to
allow a possible maneuver to avoid the
obstacle).
The FCW system is automatically deacti -
vated when operating in race mode and a
warning message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that sends the
inflation pressure information of each tire to
the control unit, and will signal the driver in the
event of insufficient tire pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel
rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature by
approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
also decrease. Tire pressure should always be
set based on cold inflation tire pressure. This
is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three
hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
must not exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire sidewall. The tire
pressure will also increase as the vehicle is
driven. This is normal, and there should be no
adjustment for this increased pressure.
See
Ú
page 233 for information on how to
properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The TPMS will signal the driver if pressure falls
below the warning limit for any reason,
including the effects of low temperature and
normal loss of pressure from the tire. The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient tire
pressure when pressure is equal to or greater
than the prescribed cold inflation level. There
-
fore, if insufficient tire pressure is indicated by
the ( ) warning light displaying in the instru -
ment cluster, increase the inflation pressure
up to the prescribed cold inflation value.
The system will automatically update, and the
TPMS Warning Light will turn off once the
system receives the updated tire pressures.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
NOTE:
The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tire pres -
sure drops (e.g. if a tire bursts). In this case,
proceed with caution and avoid abrupt
steering.
Operating Example
For example, your vehicle may have a recom -
mended cold (parked for more than three
hours) placard pressure of 33 psi (227 kPa). If
the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C), and
the measured tire pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa),
a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will
decrease the tire pressure to approximately
24 psi (165 kPa). This tire pressure is low
enough to turn on the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Warning Light.” Driving the vehicle may cause
the tire pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi
(193 kPa), but the TPMS Warning Light will still
be on. In this situation, the TPMS Warning Light
WARNING!
The system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an accident
in advance. Failure to take into account
this warning may lead to serious or fatal
injuries.
The system may activate, assessing the
trajectory of the vehicle, for the presence
of reflecting metal objects different from
other vehicles, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
tollgates, level crossings, gates, railways,
objects near road constructions sites or
higher than the vehicle (e.g. a fly-over). In
the same way, the system may intervene
inside multi-story parking lots or tunnels,
or due to a glare on the road surface.
These possible activations are a conse -
quence of the real driving scenario
coverage by the system and must not be
regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for road
use only. If the vehicle is driven on a track,
the system must be deactivated to avoid
unnecessary warnings. Automatic deacti -
vation is signaled by the dedicated
warning light/symbol switching on in the
instrument panel
