(Continued)
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 indicating
the end of the speed limit or a “Road Sign Not
Detected” message may appear in this zone.
After a predetermined distance, the previously
displayed road sign changes color to inform
the driver that the speed limit provided may no
longer be valid.1 — Traffic Sign Recognized
INTELLIGENT SPEED
CONTROL (ISC) SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Intelligent Speed Control (ISC) system is
always paired with the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system. The ISC system suggests an
automatic speed adjustment to the driver based
on the speed limit for the road being traveled. The
driver can decide whether to accept or reject the
automatic speed adjustment, using the switch on
the steering wheel.
If the speed limit is exceeded according to the
road signs or traffic conditions, a dedicated
graphic message is displayed on the instrument
panel display. RES/SET Switch
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
temperatures. Strong light contrasts can
influence the recognition capability of the
sensor.
The area surrounding the sensor must not be
covered with stickers or any other object.
Do not tamper or perform any operations in
the area of the windshield glass directly
surrounding the sensor.

system is deactivated

NOTE:
Selecting “Speed Offset” allows the driver to set
the speed up to a maximum of 6 mph (10 km/h)
above or below the suggested speed set by the
ISC system. In this instance, the road sign infor -
mation shown in the instrument cluster display
will continue to be detected by the TSR system.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The system status is indicated by a white or green
icon in the instrument cluster display (similar to
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) device) to the
left of the road sign indications provided by the
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system.
ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION OF THE
S
UGGESTED SPEED
The system can be activated if the driver has
activated the following systems beforehand:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the
rear, and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper
and a detected obstacle when backing up or
moving forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
The vehicle brakes may be automatically applied
and released when performing a reverse parking
maneuver if the system detects a possible
collision with an obstacle.
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and the
system is on, the front and rear sensors are
activated. If the vehicle moves from REVERSE to
a forward gear, the rear sensors are deactivated,
while the front sensors remain active until the
speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.

NOTE:
In certain operating conditions, the system could
start detecting an obstacle only after the vehicle
has moved slightly (a few inches).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
The ParkSense sensors located in the rear
fascia/bumper and (if equipped) in the front
fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field
of view. These sensors detect the presence of any
obstacles and warn the driver through an
acoustic signal and visual indications, which will
be displayed on the instrument cluster display.Front Sensor Location
Rear Sensor Location
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the ParkSense system. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for the safety
of your surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense system is only a parking aid
and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or
below the sensors will not be detected when
they are in close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the ParkSense system in order to be
able to stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using the
ParkSense system.

PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be indicated
when REVERSE is engaged by a message on the
instrument cluster display

Ú
page 70.
In case of system failure, a dedicated message
appears on the instrument cluster for about five
seconds.
Cleaning The Front Or Rear Sensors : If the
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that the
outer surface and the underside of the front
and rear fascias/bumpers are free of debris
(e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these areas
are clear, place the ignition in the OFF position,
then return it to ON/RUN. If the message is still
displayed, contact an authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available : If the display
shows a message that the audio system is not
available, it means that the acoustic signal will
be emitted by the instrument panel, and not
through the vehicle’s speakers.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS

NOTE:
Some conditions may influence the performance
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 interference,
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 suspension), 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
windshield 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 activated
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, or
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be compromised
by the presence of dust, condensation, 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 curvature), 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.

The system operates in the same way, but
mirrored, in the event of exiting the right lane
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the system is active, both lane lines on the
display illuminate in white to indicate that both of
the lane markings have been detected.
When lane markings are detected, the system is
ready to provide indications in case the driver
unintentionally leaves the lane (turn signal not
activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system detects
the lane markings while the vehicle is in motion,
it will adjust the display accordingly (from white to
yellow and vice versa, and increase their
thickness).
If a lane line is crossed, the driver is alerted by an
audible signal as well as the visual indication in
the instrument cluster. The signal is emitted
through the speakers on the side of the lane
marking which is being crossed (e.g. if the vehicle
is exceeding the left line of the lane, the audible
signal will come from the speakers on the left of
the vehicle).
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a condition
limiting the Lane Departure Warning system
operation may have occurred. This could be an
obstruction of the camera view, or a fault in the
system.If an obstruction is detected, clean the area of the
windshield by the interior rearview mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in normal
conditions, the system may not function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system are
corrected, it will go back to normal operation.
Should a fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and the warning light
appears on the display, it means that there is a
system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the vehicle,
but you are advised to contact an authorized

LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system uses a
camera located on the windshield to detect the
lane markings and calculate the position of the
vehicle within such markings, in order to make
sure that the vehicle remains inside the lane. This
is an active system that will apply torque to the
steering wheel if it senses that the vehicle is
drifting out of the lane.
When one or both lane markings are detected
and the vehicle passes over one without a turn
signal being applied, the system will apply torque
to the steering wheel and a visual signal will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. An
audible signal may also sound.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the lane line
without any driver intervention, the surpassed
lane line (left or right) will light up on the
instrument cluster display to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back inside the lane limits.
