Snow chains
The system does not have to be r einitialised after fitting or removing
sn
ow
c
hains. Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be
c
hecked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
r
einitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the u

Safety
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly the
s
ystem automatically applies the brakes to
a
void a collision. The
collision can be avoided automatically if the d
ifference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
ahead does not exceed 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above
this threshold, the system will do what
i
s possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering
the speed of impact.
The
automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a
complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily
(for about 1.5 seconds) to allow
t
he driver to take back control by pressing the
b
rake
