STARTING AND DRIVING 202 object and the position in relation to the car. simultaneously in the rear area, the display will show all of them, regardless of the area in which they were detected. The colour on the display depends on the distance from and position of the obstacle. Fault indication Any faults of the parking sensors are signalled by the relative message displayed on the instrument panel display (see the "Warning lights and messages" chapter in the "Getting to know the instrument panel” section) and by the respective icon displayed on the Alfa Connect system display. General warnings When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles that may be above or under the sensor. Objects close to the car are not detected under certain circumstances and could therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged. 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 Changing the system settings System settings can be changed using the Alfa Connect system (see "Settings" > "Safety & Driving Assist" > "Park Sensors Front Volume" supplement on Alfa Connect system online). VERSIONS WITH 8 or 12 SENSORS The parking sensors, located in the front side, for the 12-sensor version only) and each side, for the 12-sensor version only), are designed to detect obstacles in the vicinity of the car. The sensors warn the driver about the presence of obstacles with an intermittent acoustic signal and also with visual indications on the Alfa Connect display. 199 9650046 200 9650047 |
