2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sensors Owner’s Manual

With its cutting-edge sensors for collision avoidance, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control, the 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia promises increased safety and driving accuracy. The smooth integration of these sensors with the vehicle’s sophisticated systems improves both performance and driver assurance.

Alfa Romeo PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED Guide

The ParkSense system provides visual and audible indications of the distance between the rear, and
if equipped, the front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle when backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a parking manoeuvre). The vehicle brakes may be automatically applied and released when performing a reverse parking manoeuvre if the system detects a possible collision with an obstacle.
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and the system is on, the front and rear sensors are activated. If the vehicle moves from REVERSE to forward gear, the rear sensors are deactivated, while the front sensors remain active until the speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.
NOTE:
In certain operating conditions, the system could start detecting an obstacle only after the vehicle has moved slightly (a few inches).

WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the ParkSense system. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

• The ParkSense system is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are nearby.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the ParkSense system to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when using the ParkSense system.

PARKSENSE SENSORS

The ParkSense sensors located in the rear
fascia/bumper and (if equipped) in the front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. These sensors detect the presence of any obstacles and warn the driver through an acoustic signal and visual indications, which will be displayed on the instrument cluster display.

PARKSENSE DISPLAY

The driver can select the type of warning they would like to be displayed through the radio system. To access the function on the main menu, select in the following order:

1. Driver Assistance
2. ParkSense
3. Mode
4. Sound and Display

Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of an obstacle by displaying a single red arc in the detected area, about the distance of the object and the position of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or rear central area, a single red arc will be displayed as the obstacle approaches, first constant, then flashing, in addition to an acoustic signal.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or rear left and/or right area, a single red flashing arc will be shown in the corresponding area on the display and the system will emit an acoustic signal, either at frequent intervals or constantly.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the obstacle when a single red flashing arc is shown on the display and the acoustic signal becomes continuous.
If several obstacles are detected simultaneously in the front and rear area, the display will show all of them, regardless of the area in which they were detected.
It is not possible to exit from the display screen while the vehicle is in REVERSE.

Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the front or the rear of the vehicle, an acoustic signal with variable frequency will sound:

• The acoustic signal increases in frequency as the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle decreases.
• The acoustic signal becomes continuous when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 11 inches (30 cm), and stops if the distance increases.
• The acoustic signal is constant if the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is unchanged.

NOTE:
If the sensors detect several front and rear obstacles, the closest obstacle is considered. An intermittent signal will sound if the obstacles are at the same distance (front and rear).
When the system emits an acoustic signal, the volume of the radio system, if activated, is automatically lowered.
An acoustic signal will not sound if the vehicle is in PARK.

ENABLING AND DISABLING PARKSENSE

For vehicles only equipped with rear sensors, to turn the system off, push the ParkSense button located to the left of the headlight switch. The indicator light within the button will illuminate when the system is turned off. Pushing the button a second time will turn the system back on, and the indicator light will turn off.ParkSense On/Off Switch
For vehicles equipped with front and rear sensors, to turn the front parking sensors off, push the ParkSense button located to the left of the headlight switch. The indicator light within the switch will illuminate when the system is turned off. Pushing the button a second time will turn the front sensors back on, and the indicator light will turn off.

NOTE:
Deactivation of both the front and rear parking sensors can only be done through the radio system.
The indicator light within the ParkSense system switch will also be on in case of system failure. If the switch is pushed with a system failure, the indicator light will flash for approximately five seconds. The light will then stay on constantly.

NOTE:
When the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position, the ParkSense system keeps the last state when the engine was stopped (activated or deactivated) in its memory.

PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY

Parking sensor faults, if any, will be indicated when REVERSE is engaged by a message on the instrument cluster display on page 74.
In case of system failure, a dedicated message appears on the instrument cluster for about five seconds.

• Cleaning The Front Or Rear Sensors: If the display shows a message requiring the sensors to be cleaned, make sure that the outer surface and the underside of the front and rear fascias/bumpers are free of debris (e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these areas are clear, place the ignition in the OFF position, then return it to ON/RUN. If the message is still displayed, contact an authorized dealer.
• Audio System Not Available: If the display shows a message that the audio system is not available, it means that the acoustic signal will be emitted by the instrument panel, and not through the vehicle’s speakers.

PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE PRECAUTIONS

NOTE:
Some conditions may influence the performance of the ParkSense system:

• Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to the presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick paint on the surface of the sensor.
• The sensors may detect a false obstacle (echo interference) due to mechanical interference, for example when washing the vehicle or in extreme weather.
• The signals sent by the sensors can be altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
• System performance can 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 or suspension), by changing tyres, overloading the vehicle or operations that require the vehicle to be lowered.
• Be sure not to place bumper stickers or other adhesives over the sensors as this will affect system performance.
