The system sets and holds the vehicle at the
desired speed without needing to press the
accelerator. It also sets and holds a distance
from the vehicle ahead (these settings are set
by the driver).Front Bumper Radar Location
Windshield Camera Location If the system detects a vehicle ahead, it will
automatically intervene by slightly braking or
accelerating in order to maintain the preset
distance. It will not exceed the original set
speed when adapting to the speed of the
vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not
guaranteed under the following circum
-
stances, and it is recommended to turn the
system off when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or construction
zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads, roads
with steep inclines, or roads with numerous
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed
Ú
page 273.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve -
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driver involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake oper -
ation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn -
ings can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• May react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g.,
a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a
disabled vehicle) at speeds between
2 mph and 35 mph (4 km/h and
60 km/h).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and
weather conditions into account, and
may be limited upon adverse sight
distance conditions.

TRAFFIC JAM ASSIST (TJA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system can be acti -
vated on all road types. The system uses a
camera to detect lane markings and keep the
vehicle in the center of the lane.
When the system is unable to detect lane
markings, it will still operate using surrounding
traffic. This can occur in congested traffic
scenarios, when the vehicles ahead or
surrounding obstruct the visibility of the lane
markings. When the speed is below 12 mph
(20 km/h), the system can use a lock-on
strategy that allows the vehicle to automati -
cally follow the vehicle ahead. The TJA system combines Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) functions with Lane Departure
Warning functions to maintain vehicle speed
and steering wheel behavior.

NOTE:

Do not use the TJA system while driving in
urban areas.
To Activate/Deactivate
To activate the system, push the button on the
left side of the steering wheel.
To deactivate the system, push the button
again.

TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION
(TSR) SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
uses a camera mounted on the windshield to
detect recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
Signs indicating the end of the situations
indicated above
If the camera does not detect valid speed
limits, the radio system navigation system may
suggest unregulated speed limits.
The system always checks the traffic signs
indicating the current speed limit signs. The
system is able to recognize and display up to
two different road signs in the instrument
cluster display.
Depending on the unit of measurement (km or
mph) set through the “Unit of Measurement”
menu in the radio system, the TSR system will
automatically show the indication of the road
sign in the unit of measurements selected in
the instrument cluster display.
To Activate/Deactivate
The TSR System can be activated/deactivated
in the radio system in the “Driver Assistance”
menu. The system activation is signaled by
road signs shown on the instrument cluster
display.
NOTE:

By selecting “Blinking”, the driver can acti
-
vate a warning to display when the speed
exceeds the limit indicated by the TSR
System. The speed road sign on the instru -
ment cluster display will blink until the
vehicle speed drops below the displayed
limit.
Selecting “Offset” will set the speed at
which “Blinking” is activated up to a
maximum of 6 mph (10 km/h) above the
limit detected by the system.
If no speed limit signs are found, the system
will revert to the speed limit signs that are
stored in the NAV system.
Indications On The Display
The system status can always be viewed
through the instrument cluster display.
The instrument cluster display shows only the
speed limit indications and consists of the
following steps:
The new speed limit recognized by the
system, which is indicated by means of a
predetermined color. The road sign indi -
cating the end of the speed limit or a “Road
Sign Not Detected” message may appear in
this zone.
After a predetermined distance, the previ -
ously displayed road sign changes color to
inform the driver that the speed limit
provided may no longer be valid. 1 — Traffic Sign Recognized
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the vehicle in the event that the
TJA system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel when the TJA system is activated.

Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
and pay attention to traffic conditions.

CAUTION!
Functionality may be limited or the system
may not work if the sensor is obstructed.

The system may have limited operation or
not work at all in weather conditions such as
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, and low tempera
-
tures. Strong light contrasts can influence
the recognition capability of the sensor.

ParkSense System Usage Precautions

NOTE:

Some conditions may influence the perfor-
mance of the ParkSense system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to
the presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick
paint on the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical inter -
ference, for example when washing the
vehicle or in extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can be influenced by
the position of the sensors. For example,
due to a change in the ride setting (caused
by wear to the shock absorbers or suspen -
sion), by changing tires, overloading the
vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers or
other adhesives over the sensors as this will
affect system performance.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
Lane Departure Warning Operation
The Lane Departure Warning system uses a
forward looking camera located on the wind -
shield 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 an acti -
vated turn signal, the system emits a visual as
well as an audible 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!
Projecting loads on the roof of the vehicle
may interfere with the correct operation of
the camera. Before starting, make sure
the load is correctly positioned in order to
not cover the camera operating range.
Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects.
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rearview 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 compro -
mised by the presence of dust, condensa -
tion, 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 curva -
ture), 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 your 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.
