OPERATION
The system is not active when the vehicle is started. It is
only activated when button A-fig. 71 in the dashboard
is pressed. The LED in the button lights up to confirm
that the system has been switched on plus a dedicated
warning message in the instrument panel display. Once
it is turned on the system will recognise the operating
conditions and this is signalled to the driver by the LED
located in the button flashing and the symbol
ein the
amber coloured panel in the instrument panel display
flashing too. Once the system has recognised the operat-
ing conditions, it becomes active. Therefore: the
eicon
in the display switches off and the LED on the button
remains on constantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no longer
present then the system will deactivate. This is signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button flashing and the
amber
eicon on the display flashing.
OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following conditions are present:
❍always keep at least one hand on the steering wheel;
❍vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍presence of lane demarcation lines not deteriorated
and visible on both sides;
❍suitable visibility conditions;
❍straight line or wide radius bends;
❍visual field condition sufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front). ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the side of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to stay within the lane. If the driver turns
on the direction indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch off momentarily.
If the driver wishes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that they are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change
lanes, the system will be temporarily deactivated and
then switch back on again once it has recognised the new
driving lane. This temporary deactivation will be sig-
nalled to the driver by the LED in the button flashing and
by the
esymbol in the amber coloured panel in the in-
strument panel display also flashing.
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is sufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can easily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

DEACTIVATING THE SYSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated by pressing button A-fig.
71 in the dashboard. Confirmation that the system has
been switched off is given by the LED in the button
and the message 1-fig.72 in the instrument panel display
going out.
Automatic mode
The system can be switched off in automatic mode (there-
fore it must be activated again to use it). The driver is ad-
vised that the system has been turned off automatically
by three consecutive acoustic signals and the message
1 – fig. 72 in the instrument panel display after the fol-
lowing situations:
❍the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2-fig. 72 is shown on the instrument
panel and a buzzer sounds until the driver places their
hands back on the wheel. This is considered a dan-
gerous condition and the system is automatically de-
activated);
❍intervention of the vehicle safety systems (ABS, ESP,
ASR, DST and TTC);
❍the driver activates the sports driving setting pressing
the SPORT button (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
IMPORTANT The system cannot be activated if the dri-
ver has previously selected the sports driving mode. The
impossibility of using the system will be communicated
to the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the dis-
played message 1 in fig. 72.SYSTEM FAILURE
In the case of a malfunction, the system notifies the dri-
ver of the fault with message 3-fig. 72 in the instrument
panel display plus a buzzer.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The driving advisor is not capable of operation follow-
ing a malfunction of the following safety systems – ABS,
ESP, ASR, DST and TTC.
When the lane demarcation lines are not suf-
ficiently visible, covered or non-existent, the
driving advisor cannot help the driver and
the system will not be activated.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and does not replace the driver
in controlling the trajectory of the vehicle.
The driver is personally responsible for maintain-
ing a suitable level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the vehicle safely.
The operation of the driving advisor can be adversely af-
fected by poor visibility conditions (fog, rain, snow), ex-
treme light conditions (glare of the sun, darkness), lack
of cleanliness or damage, even partial, to the windscreen
in the area behind the TV camera.
The area of the windscreen by the TV camera must not
be partly or totally obscured by objects (e.g. stickers, pro-
tective film, etc.).

START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the engine
each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off. In this way, the ve-
hicle efficiency is increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound pollution.
The system is active every time the engine is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with gearbox in
neutral and clutch pedal released.
NOTE The engine can only be stopped automatically
over about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from being re-
peatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.
SymbolUfig. 74 appears on the display when the engine
stops.
Engine restarting mode
To restart the engine, press the clutch pedal.SYSTEM MANUAL ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system manually, press the
buttonTfig. 75 on the dashboard control trim.

SAFETY155
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a collision, all pas-
sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, a child’s head is proportionally
larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while mus-
cles and bone structure are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary which
are different from adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child restraint system
are contained in the European Standard ECE-R44, which
enforces the use of restraint systems classified into five
groups:
Group 0 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
DANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backwards on the front seat if the front pas-
senger airbag is enabled. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby. It is advisable always to
carry children on the rear seat which is the most
protected position in the event of an accident. Never
fit child seats systems on the front seat if the car
is provided with passenger’s air bag: as the airbag
could even cause fatal injury regardless of the
severity of the collision which caused its deploy-
ment. If necessary, children can stay on the front
seat, but only if the passenger’s airbag can be dis-
abled. In this case be sure to verify that the air bag
is actually deactivated, observing the “warning
light on the dashboard (see “Front air bag – pas-
senger side” in paragraph “Front air bags”). Move
the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.

SAFETY163
FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (for versions/markets
where provided) and front side bags (side bags – window
bags).
The front air bags (driver, passenger driver’s knee bag)
protect the occupants of the front seats in the event of
moderate to serious front impacts by positioning the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or the dash-
board.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself be-
tween the front occupants body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement the seat
belts, which you are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt
could move forward and come into contact with a bag
which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case.The front air bags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❍front collisions against highly deformable objects not
affecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❍car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection compared
with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropri-
ate. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above
circumstances does not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, on the dashboard in the pas-
senger side airbag area, on side upholstery
on roof and on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mo-
bile phones) on the passenger’s side dashboard since
they could interfere with proper air bag inflation
and also cause serious injury to the passengers.

164SAFETY
The front air bags (driver, passenger, driver’s knee bags)
are designed and calibrated to protect front seat passen-
gers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation fills
most space between the steering wheel and the driver, be-
tween the lower post guard and the knees on passenger
side and between the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In
the event of frontal impact they guarantee correct posi-
tioning of the passenger. FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 7
It consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
FRONT AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE fig. 8
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver’s.

SAFETY165
KNEE BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 9
(for versions/markets where provided)
It consists of an instantly cushion housed into a special
compartment provided for the purpose under the lower
post guard at driver’s knee level, designed to give fur-
ther protection in the event of frontal impact.MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER FRONT
AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front and side airbags can be de-
activated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on con-
stantly until the passenger front air bag and the Side Bag
are reactivated.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger’s front air bag
and the Side Bag (for versions/markets where provided),
refer to paragraphs “Multifunction display” and “Recon-
figurable multifunction display” in chapter “1”.
SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle
child seats facing backwards on the front
passenger’s seat of cars with active passen-
ger’s air bag. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Always deactivate the passenger air bag
when placing a child seat on the front seat. Move
the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.
Even when this is not mandatory by law, the air
bag should be immediately reactivated when chil-
dren are no longer carried to ensure better protec-
tion for the adults.
