Maximum assistance of the HBA
system is obtained pressing the brake
pedal very quickly; in addition, the
brake pedal should be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to obtain benefits
from the system. Do not reduce
pressure on the brake pedal until
braking is no longer necessary. The
HBA system is deactivated when the
brake pedal is released.

WARNING
44)The ESC system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
45)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
46)The capability of the ESC system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
47)For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly, all four tyres must be the
same brand and type, must be in excellent
condition and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.48)The ASR cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
49)The ASR system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
50)The capability of the ASR must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
51)Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to
the road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible for road
safety.

iTPMS System
(indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System iTPMS can monitor the tyre
inflation status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver
if one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the
warning light on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
It is advisable to check the pressure of
all four tyres. This indication is displayed
also when turning the engine off and
on until the “Reset” procedure is carried
out.
“Reset” procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the “Reset”
procedure is carried out.
The “Reset” procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
