After 15 seconds with the hands removed
from the steering wheel, the LKA system will
be deactivated and a dedicated message will
be shown on the instrument cluster display. A
short acoustic signal will sound in this case.
In any of the situations above where the hands
are removed from the steering wheel for more
than 6 seconds, it is necessary to reposition
the hands on the steering wheel.
Changing The System Sensitivity
The system's sensitivity can be set through the
radio system. Select the “Driver Assistance”
menu and then select “Comfort”. Sensitivity
“High” or “Low” can be selected.
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) System
The Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) system
assists the driver during reverse maneuvers in
the case of reduced visibility.
When the ABSA system is active, the RCP
system monitors the rear detection areas on
both sides of the vehicle to detect objects
moving towards the sides of the vehicle at a
minimum speed between 0.6 mph and 2 mph
(1 km/h and 3km/h) from objects moving at a
maximum speed of 22 mph (35 km/h).
These are generally occurrences that happen
in parking areas.
The system activation is signaled to the driver
by means of a visual and audible warning.

NOTE:

If the sensors are covered by objects or vehi-
cles, the system may not work as intended. Changing the system sensitivity
To change the sensitivity and the strength of
the torque intervention on the steering wheel,

Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System — If
Equipped
The Driver Attention Assist (DAA) system
detects when the driver is feeling fatigued and
warns the driver to pull over and take a break.
To Activate/Deactivate
The DAA system can be activated and deacti -
vated through the radio system by selecting
the following in order:
1. “Driver Assistance”
2. “Driver Attention Assist”
System Intervention
Using information from the front camera, the
system implements two operating logics:
The first operating logic takes the driving
style into account, observing the road and
detecting to what extent the driver can
continue driving with few lane crossing
events.
The second operating logic measures the
time spent behind the wheel with the
vehicle speed above 40 mph (60 km/h) and below 110 mph (180 km/h). If the“Standard” option is selected, in these
conditions, the “Dozy Driver” message may
appear after three hours of driving. If the
“Early” option is selected and these condi -
tions occur, the “Dozy Driver” message will
be displayed after two hours of driving.

NOTE:

If the conditions described above are not
detected continuously during the entire driving
period, the “Dozy Driver” message may be
displayed later than two or three hours. If the
driving style indicates that the driver is unable
to follow the road trajectory and respect the
horizontal lane markings, the red symbol will
appear on the instrument cluster display to
suggest that the driver should stop for a break.
An audible signal will also sound.
If the driver accepts the suggestion provided
by the system by pushing the MENU button on
the multifunction lever, the message will
WARNING!
The DAA System is an aid for driving and
does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving the vehicle. If you
experience fatigue while driving, pull over
safely for a break without waiting for the
DAA to intervene. Only return to the road
when you are in the right physical and
mental condition to prevent endangering
yourself and other drivers.

The audible and visual signals warn the driver
before the system activates, depending on the
vehicle speed.

NOTE:

No warning signals are generated at speeds
below 20 mph (30 km/h).The system may lightly brake to warn the driver
if a possible frontal accident is detected
(limited braking). Signals and limited braking
are intended to allow the driver to react
promptly, in order to prevent or reduce the
effects of a potential accident. In situations with the risk of collision, if the
system detects no intervention by the driver, it
provides automatic braking to help slow the
vehicle and mitigate the potential frontal colli
-
sion (automatic braking). If intervention by the
driver on the brake pedal is detected, but not
deemed sufficient, the system may intervene
in order to improve the reaction of the braking
system, therefore reducing vehicle speed
further (additional assistance in braking
stage).
The system will intervene automatically in
case of imminent collision or impact against a
pedestrian crossing the road (speed under
31 mph (50 km/h)).

NOTE:

For safety reasons, when the vehicle has
stopped, the brake calipers may remain
blocked for about two seconds. Make sure to
press the brake pedal if the vehicle moves
slightly forward. Engagement/Disengagement
The system may be disengaged (and engaged
again) in the “Driver Assistance” menu of the
Information and Entertainment system.
The system can be deactivated even with the
ignition device in the ON position.

NOTE:

The system status can be changed with car at
a standstill only.
Select from among three operating modes:
Warning and braking
: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and audible warn -
ings, provides limited braking, automatic
braking and additional assistance in the
braking stage, where the driver does not
brake sufficiently in the event of a potential
frontal impact.
Only warning : the system (if active), does
not provide limited braking, but guarantees
automatic braking or additional assistance
in the braking stage, where the driver does
not brake at all or not sufficiently in the
event of a potential frontal impact.
Disabled : the system does not provide
visual and audible warnings, limited
braking, automatic braking or additional
assistance in the braking stage. The system
will therefore provide no indication of a
possible collision.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow
this warning could lead to serious injury or
death.

To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
equipped with TPMS sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then turn off. The instrument
cluster will display the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message and then display pressure
values in place of the dashes. On the next igni-
tion switch cycle the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message will no longer be displayed, as long
as no system fault exists.

NOTE:

The TPMS is not intended to replace normal
tire care and maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pres -
sure gauge while adjusting your tire pres -
sure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
will cause the tire to overheat, and can lead
to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsi -
bility to maintain correct tire pressure using
an accurate tire pressure gauge, even if underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS Warning
Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the
actual tire pressure in the tire

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in
your vehicle are the restraint systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air
Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized
dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information
in this section. It tells you how to use your
restraint system properly, to keep you and
your passengers as safe as possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air
bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly must be secured
in the appropriate child restraint or
belt-positioning booster seat in a rear
seating position
Ú
page 178.
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint
Ú
page 178.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that
you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and deploy -
ment occurs, the side air bags will inflate

Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs)
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental
Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs).
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs) are located above the side windows.
The trim covering the SABICs is labeled “SRS
AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) Location SABICs may help reduce the risk of head and
other injuries to front and rear seat outboard
occupants in certain side impacts, in addition
to the injury reduction potential provided by
the seat belts and body structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering the
side windows. An inflating SABIC pushes the
outside edge of the headliner out of the way
and covers the window. The SABICs inflate
with enough force to injure occupants if they
are not belted and seated properly, or if items
are positioned in the area where the SABICs
inflate. Children are at an even greater risk of
injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial
or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain side impact
events.
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) determines whether the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side impact
sensors aid the ORC in determining the appro
-
priate response to impact events. The system
is calibrated to deploy the Side Air Bags on the
impact side of the vehicle during impacts that
require Side Air Bag occupant protection. In
side impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy inde -
pendently; a left side impact deploys the left
Side Air Bags only and a right-side impact
deploys the right Side Air Bags only. Vehicle
damage by itself is not a good indicator of
whether or not Side Air Bags should have
deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side
collisions, including some collisions at certain
angles, or some side collisions that do not
impact the area of the passenger
WARNING!

Do not mount equipment, or stack luggage
or other cargo up high enough to block the
deployment of the SABICs. The trim
covering above the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path are located
should remain free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as intended,
do not install any accessory items in your
vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not
add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.
Do not add roof racks that require perma -
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for
installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill
into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.

WARNING! (Continued)

If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.

NOTE:

Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all
collisions. This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:
The air bag material may sometimes cause
abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
occupants as the air bags deploy and
unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction
rope burns or those you might get sliding
along a carpet or gymnasium floor. They are
not caused by contact with chemicals. They
are not permanent and normally heal
quickly. However, if you haven’t healed
significantly within a few days, or if you have
any blistering, see your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a
normal by-product of the process that
generates the non-toxic gas used for air bag
inflation. These airborne particles may irri-
tate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you
have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area
with cool water. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle on
your clothing, follow the garment manufac -
turer’s instructions for cleaning. Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags
have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.

NOTE:

Air bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communica
-
tion network remains intact, and the power
remains intact, depending on the nature of the
event, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
will determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the
following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine (if equipped)
Cut off battery power to the electric motor (if
equipped)
Flash hazard lights as long as the battery
has power
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on
as long as the battery has power or for
15 minutes from the intervention of the
Enhanced Accident Response System
Unlock the power door locks
Your vehicle may also be designed to perform
any of these other functions in response to the
Enhanced Accident Response System:
Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off the
HVAC Blower Motor, Close the HVAC Circula -
tion Door
Cut off battery power to the:
• Engine
• Electric Motor (if equipped)
• Electric power steering
• Brake booster
• Electric park brake
• Automatic transmission gear selector
• Horn
• Front wiper
• Headlamp washer pump
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in another
collision. Have the air bags, seat belt
pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Also, have the
Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
