If an obstruction is signaled, clean the
area of the windshield.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in
normal conditions, the system may be not
completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation. Should the fault
persist, contact your authorized dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system turns off and a dedicated
message is shown on the display, it
means that there is a fault with the
system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display. This
generally occurs in the event of poor
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to obstructions
such as mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In
such cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system will
be deactivated. This message can
sometimes appear in conditions of high
reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflectivetiles or ice or snow). When the conditions
limiting the system functions end, it will
go back to normal and complete
operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message
could be displayed when the radar is not
detecting any vehicles or objects within
its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the
reason behind this message, check if the
sensor is dirty. It could be necessary to
clean or remove any obstructions in the
area.
If the message appears frequently, even
in the absence of atmospheric conditions
such as snow, rain, mud or other
obstructions, contact your authorized
dealer for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,
manually removing the decorative cover
trim and cleaning the radar surface could
be required. Have this operation
performed at your authorized dealer.
Note:
It is recommended that you do not
install devices, accessories, or
aerodynamic attachments in front of the
sensor or darken it in any way, as this can
compromise the correct functioning of
the system. Frontal Collision Alarm With Active
Braking
If this function is selected, the brakes are
operated to reduce the speed of the
vehicle in the event of potential collision.
This function applies an additional
braking pressure if the braking pressure
applied by the driver does not suffice to
prevent potential collision.
The function is active with speed above
4 mph (7 km/h).
Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system
intervention might be unexpected or
delayed. The driver must therefore be
very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle.
Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a
roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the
vehicle.
Note: In particularly complex traffic
conditions, the driver can deactivate the
system manually through the Information
and Entertainment System.
97
Driving Close To A Bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend, the
system may detect a vehicle in front you,
but not in the same driving lane. In cases
such as these, the system may intervene.
The Vehicle Ahead Is Leaving A
Roundabout
On a roundabout, the system could
intervene if it detects a vehicle ahead
which is leaving the roundabout.Vehicles With Small Dimensions
And/Or Not Aligned In The Driving Lane
The system cannot detect vehicles in
front of you but outside the range of the
radar sensor and may therefore not react
in the presence of small vehicles, such as
bicycles or motorcycles.
Lane Change By Other Vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lanes to enter
the same lane as your vehicle within the
operating range of the radar sensor, may
cause the system to intervene.
Vehicles Traveling At Right Angles To
The Vehicle
The system may temporarily react to a
vehicle that is passing through the radar
sensor’s operating range at right angles.

SAFETY
Certification Label for the size
designation of your tire. The Load Index
and Speed Symbol for your tire will be
found on the original equipment tire
sidewall.
See the Tire Sizing Chart example found
in the “Tire Safety Information” section of
this manual for more information relating
to the Load Index and Speed Symbol of a
tire.
It is recommended to replace the two
front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever
replace a wheel, make sure that the
wheel’s specifications match those of the
original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an
authorized tire dealer or original
equipment dealer with any questions you
may have on tire specifications or
capability. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
Warning!
Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating,
or speed rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may change
suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to
steering, handling, and braking of your
vehicle. This can cause unpredictable
handling and stress to steering and
suspension components. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings approved for
your vehicle.
Never use a tire with a smaller load index
or capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire
overloading and failure. You could lose
control and have a collision.
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires
having adequate speed capability can result
in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.
Caution!
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Spare Tires — If Equipped
Note: For vehicles equipped with Tire
Service Kit instead of a spare tire, please
refer to “Tire Service Kit” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
Caution!
Because of the reduced ground clearance,
do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash with a compact or
limited use temporary spare installed.
Damage to the vehicle may result.
Spare Tire Matching Original
Equipped Tire And Wheel — If
Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
spare tire and wheel equivalent in look
and function to the original equipment
tire and wheel found on the front or rear
axle of your vehicle. This spare tire may
be used in the tire rotation for your
vehicle. If your vehicle has this option,
refer to an authorized tire dealer for the
recommended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary
emergency use only. You can identify if
your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare by looking at the spare tire
description on the Tire and Loading
Information Placard located on the
driver’s side door opening or on the
sidewall of the tire. Compact spare tire
descriptions begin with the letter “T” or
“S” preceding the size designation.
