CITY BRAKE CONTROL -
"Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a driving assistance system that can detect the
presence of cars before the vehicle at a close
distance and, in case of imminent collision,
intervenes automatically braking the car to prevent
the impact or lower its effects.
The system only works if:
❒the ignition key is at MAR-ON;
❒the car speed is between 5 and 30 km/h;
❒the front seat belts are fastened.
The system can be deactivated (and then reactivated)
with the display setup menu (see paragraph “Menu
items” in this chapter).
The system activates if there is risk of imminent
collision and the driver does not press the brake
pedal promptly.
If the system detects that the vehicle ahead could be
hit, it may prepare the car to a possible emergency
braking.
If the driver does not carry out any action to prevent
the collision, the system may automatically slow
down the car, in order to prepare it to a possible
impact.
When there is risk of impact, if the action on the
brake pedal by the driver is not sufficient, the system
may intervene in order to improve the reaction of
the braking system, therefore reducing car speed
further.When driving uphill on a steep slope, the system may
intervene, activating the braking system.
Versions equipped with Start&Stop system:at
the end of the automatic braking, the Start&Stop
system will activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual gearbox:atthe
end of the automatic braking the engine may stall
and turn off, unless the driver presses the clutch
pedal.
Versions equipped with Dualogic automatic
transmission(for versions/markets, where
provided): at the end of braking the last gear stored
remains engaged.
IMPORTANT Both on versions equipped with
manual gearbox and on those with automatic
transmission (for versions/markets, where provided),
after the car is stopped the brake calipers may be
stuck for about 2 seconds for safety reasons. Make
sure you press the brake pedal if the car moves
slightly forwards.
IMPORTANT The system is only active with a car
speed between 5 and 30 km/h.
IMPORTANT The system doesNOTactivate
engaging the reverse. The system doesNOTactivate
if the front seat belts are not fastened.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless
a separate aerial is mounted externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the car in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be negatively affected by the shielding
effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided
by the mobile phone manufacturer.
PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located in the rear bumper fig. 126 and
their function is to detect the presence of any
obstacles near the rear part of the car; they
consequently inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse
gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the vehicle
gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal becomes
more frequent.

WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition key has been removed
and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
WARNING

PERIODIC CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore the following:
❒engine coolant, brake fluid and windscreen washer
fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if required, the
engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE CARIf the car is mainly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long distances at low
speeds or long periods of idleness;
the following checks must be performed more
frequently than prescribed in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change engine oil and
replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner.
