Here’s a quick movie demonstrating the degree 2 highway assist perform out there on the 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio products. This attribute is readily available on the Maserati Levante, Quattroporte, and Ghibli, but the steering wheel button structure for activation is slightly distinctive on these versions as opposed to the Giulia and Stelvio. On the other hand, the purpose performs the identical on all types – only on registered divided highways (limited access w/selected off/on-ramps), and it will only perform in primarily obvious weather conditions (daytime or nighttime) in which the road lines are totally visible to the windshield camera and the radar is not obstructed by snow, filth, or large rain.
