SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
External factors and conditions may
affect the proper operation of the HAS.
The main ones are listed below:
narrow, winding and curvy streets;
poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.);
front lights of incoming cars or direct
sunlight or shade;
damage or obstructions caused by
mud, ice, snow, etc.
bumper damaged or not aligned;
interference with other equipment
that causes electromagnetic waves;
presence of roadworks/road
construction sites;
if the indications given by the
navigation system (if any) of the Connect
system are not yet ready and/or if the
navigation system is recalculating the
route.
SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION
The HAS may have limited or reduced
functionality when one of the following
conditions occurs:
The main ones are listed below:
lane marking lines are not clear or in
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. in heavy
rain, snow, fog, etc.);
either the camera or radar are
damaged, covered or obstructed (e.g. by
mud, ice, snow, etc.);
when driving in the hills or on roads
with narrow turns;
near motorway tollgates;
when the motorway entrance or exit is
more than 20 ft (6 metres) wide;
if the camera is exposed to dazzling
light (e.g. reflection or direct sunlight;
if the Navigation system information
is not available and/or is being
recalculated.
WARNING
135) Many unpredictable situations that can
affect the performance of the HAS system
may arise. The driver must be ready to react
immediately and take control of the car in
place of the HAS system.
136) If the car approaches a bend that is too
narrow with respect to the current speed,
the HAS system turns off. The driver must
therefore be ready to immediately regain
control of the car at any time. To avoid this
situation it is important that the car speed
set does not exceed the current road speed
limit and that the driver keeps his or her
hands on the steering wheel.
137) The HAS system uses a hands on
steering wheel detection sensor: the driver
must keep his hands on the steering wheel
at all times. If the hands are removed from
the steering wheel for a certain period of
time, the system disengages and the ACC is
paused.
138) When using the HAS system, hold the
steering wheel and take into consideration
the road conditions and the surrounding
traffic. The driver must therefore be ready
to immediately regain control of the car
at any time. Failure to observe these
instructions can cause severe injuries with
even lethal consequences.
139) The HAS system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests
with the driver, who must take into account
the traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
140) If the windscreen must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively an Alfa Romeo Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own, risk
of malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the area of
the camera.
