System Limited Operation
The HAS system may have limited or reduced
functionality when one of the following condi-
tions occur:
Lane markings are not clear or in conditions
of poor visibility (e.g. in heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.)
Either the camera or radar are damaged,
covered, or obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice,
snow, etc.)
When driving on hills or roads with narrow
bends
Near highway toll booths
When the highway entrance or exit is wider
than 20 ft (6 m)
If the camera is exposed to glare caused by
reflections or direct sunlight
If the navigation system information is
unavailable or being recalculated

NOTE:

If the vehicle approaches a bend that is too
narrow with respect to the current speed,
the HAS system will disable.
If damage to the windshield occurs, have
the windshield replaced by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
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.

WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the vehicle in the event that the
HAS system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel when the HAS system is activated.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehi -
cles and pay attention to traffic condi -
tions.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers) which
could interfere with the hand detection
sensor.

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.
