LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system
uses a forward looking camera located
on the windshield to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over
one without the an activated turn signal,
the system emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
surpassed line will light up on the
display (left or right) to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on
the same lane, bend with a small radius of
curvature), by road surface conditions and
by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively an authorized dealer.
Do not replace the windshield on your own.
It is advisable to replace the windshield if it
is damaged in the area of the camera.

Symbols And Messages
On The Display
The Lane Departure Warning system
advises the driver when the vehicle
leaves the driving lane by showing
symbols and messages on the
instrument cluster display.
When the system is active and the lane
limits have not been detected, the
display shows a grey vehicle icon. Exiting a lane with detection of a
single limit
When the system is active and only, for
example, the left lane limit has been
detected, the detected lane illuminates
in white on the display; the system is
ready to provide visual warnings on the
display in the event of unintentional
exiting of the lane (turn signal not
activated) to the left.
When the system detects that the
vehicle has approached the lane line
and is about to pass it, the left line on
the display illuminates in yellow.
The system operates in the same way,
but mirrored, in the event of exiting the
right lane when only the right lane limit
has been detected.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Exiting a lane with detection of
both limits
When the system is active, both lane
lines on the display illuminate in white to
indicate the successful detection of
both limits.
When lane limits are detected, the
system is ready to provide indications in
case the driver unintentionally leaves
the lane (turn signal not activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system
detects the lane limits while the vehicle
is in motion, it will adjust the display
accordingly (from white to yellow and
vice versa, and increase their
thickness).If a line is crossed, the driver is alerted
by an audible signal as well as the
visual indication in the instrument
cluster. The signal is emitted through
the speakers on the side of the lane
limit which is being crossed (eg. if the
vehicle is exceeding the left line of the
lane, the audible signal will come from
the speakers on the left of the vehicle).
Changing The System Settings
The system's sensitivity can be set
through the Connect system. Sensitivity
“High” or “Low” can be selected.
To access the function, from the main
menu select the following in order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Safety”
3. “Lane Departure Warning”
4. “Sensitivity”Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a
condition limiting the Lane Departure
Warning system operation may have
occurred. This could be an obstruction
of the camera view, or a fault in the
system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield by the interior
rear view mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
not function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system
are corrected, it will go back to normal
operation. Should a fault persist,
contact an authorized dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and
appears
on the display, it means that there is a
system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.GUID-07226S0005EMBoth Lane Limits Detected

type is correct.
Also, stop the engine before refueling.
Note: An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
Caution!
Never introduce leaded fuel to the tank,
even in small amounts in an emergency, as
this would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
Refueling Capacity
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top off twice after the first
click of the fuel nozzle.
Further top-off could cause faults in the
fuel feeding system.

Driving On Race Tracks
Before driving on a track using a racing
style, it is necessary to:
Attend a race track driving course.
Check the liquid levels in the engine
compartment. For more information,
see the “Checking Levels” section in
the “Servicing And Maintenance”
chapter.
Have the car inspected at your
authorized dealer.
Remember that the car was not
designed to be driven exclusive on the
race track and that this use increases
stress and component wear.
Preheating the carbon ceramic
material brake discs
The brake discs must be warmed up to
make them fully efficient. You are
advised to perform the following
procedure:
Brake nine times from 80 mph to
18 mph (130 km/h to 30 km/h) with
deceleration equal to 0.7g (the
longitudinal acceleration value is shown
on the instrument panel display by
setting RACE mode and selecting the
“Performance” page) with 20 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph (60 km/h
and 100 km/h) and do not brake for
4 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down;
Then brake three times from
124 mph to 18 mph (200 km/h to
30 km/h) with deceleration equal to
1.1g (ABS operation) with 30 second
intervals between brake applications;
keep the car at a speed comprised
between 37 mph and 62 mph (60 km/h
and 100 km/h) and do not brake for
5 minutes to allow the brakes to cool
down.

ENGINE OIL
The engine oil level can be seen on the
instrument cluster display every time
the engine is started, or on the Connect
system display by activating on the
main menu (MENU button) the following
functions in sequence: “Apps”; “My
Car” and “Oil Level”.
Check on the display using the
6 notches that the oil level is between
the MIN and MAX level: 1 notch MIN
level, 6 notches MAX level.
If the oil level is close to or below the
MIN mark, add oil gradually through the
filler, considering that each notch
shown on the display corresponds to
approximately 8.8 fl oz (250 ml).
The oil level can also be checked
manually.
Caution!
Make sure not to add too much oil when
topping off the engine. Engine oil in excess
may damage the engine. Have the vehicle
checked. Never exceed the MAX level
when topping off engine oil. It is advisable
to check the oil level in intermediate steps
using the oil dipstick.
The oil level is not refreshed immediately on
the display after topping off. Consequently,
wait for the oil level to be refreshed on the
display and follow the procedure below.
Manual oil level checking
procedure
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on dipstick, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract the dipstick again and check
that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Top-up and oil level indication
update on display
Ifaengineoiltop-offisneeded,inorder
to ensure the correct indication of the
oil level on the display, leave the car on
flat ground with the engine running for
approximately 5 minutes (temperature
higher than 176°F (80°C)) and proceed
with the process below:
Wait for five minutes, turn the ignition
to the ON mode without starting the
engine and wait for a few seconds. If
the indication is not correct after the
procedure, contact your authorized
dealer. Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 14.1 ounces (400 grams,
0.88 pounds) every 620 miles
(1,000 km). When the vehicle is new,
the engine needs to be run in; therefore
the engine oil consumption can only be
considered established after the first
3,100 - 3,730 miles (5,000 - 6,000 km).
Warning!
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait for
the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (if equipped). WARNING:
risk of burns!
Caution!
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
If the MAX mark is exceeded MAX (last
notch on the right turns red) after the fill-up,
go to your authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the oil in excess removed.
Do not add oil with specifications different
from those of the oil already in the engine.
Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
we advise you to contact your authorized
dealer.

Useful Advice For
Extending The Life Of
Your Battery
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
When you park the car, ensure that
the doors and trunk are closed properly
to prevent any lights from remaining on
inside the passenger's compartment.
Do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running.
Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If you wish to install electrical
accessories after purchasing the car
that require permanent electrical supply
(e.g. alarm, etc.), or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact your authorized
dealer, whose qualified staff will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption.
Caution!
If the charge level remains under 50% for a
long time, the battery may be damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency at start the vehicle. The battery
is also more prone to the risk of freezing
at temperatures as high as 14°F (-10°C).
Note:
After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialized. The
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn the
steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.
