BUZZER
The presence of any obstacle and its dis-
tance from the car is indicated by the
buzzers installed in the rear area of the
passenger compartment.
SENSOR DETECTION RANGE
Sensors enable the system to monitor
he rear part of the car.
Actually their position covers the central
and side areas of the rear part of the car.
An obstacle positioned at central area is
detected at a distance less than approx.
1.40 m.
An obstacle positioned at side area is de-
tected at a distance less than 0.6 m.
For proper operation,
the parking sensors shall
always be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. When
cleaning the sensors, take the
utmost care to prevent their
damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors
shall be washed with clean wa-
ter and car detergent, if re-
quired. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping
the vapour jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
Repainting the bumpers
or touch-up in the sen-
sor area, if required,
shall be carried out at Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services on-
ly. Incorrect repainting may im-
pair regular operation of the
parking sensors.
