circumstances, you can disengage the park 
brake following the emergency disengagement 
procedure  
Ú
page 84.
If you are still able to drive the vehicle (park brake 
is not engaged), drive to the nearest authorized 
dealer and remember, when executing any 
maneuvers/commands, that the electric park 
brake is not operational.

the ignition is cycled to ON position, to indicate a 
possible break-in attempt detected by the alarm 
system.
Electronic Key Not Recognized  The telltale will 
illuminate when the engine is started and the 
electronic key is not recognized by the system.
 WARNING!
If a failure is present with sharp braking, the 
rear wheels may lock and the vehicle may 
swerve.

Camera Activation/Deactivation
To activate the Rear Back Up Camera features, 
select “Driver Assistance” from the Main Menu of 
the radio system. Under Driver Assistance, Rear 
Back Up Camera features can be selected:
View
Camera Delay
Camera Guidelines
Selecting “View” will activate the camera view on 
the display.
Selecting “Camera Delay” will allow the camera 
view to remain on the display shortly after the 
vehicle is no longer in REVERSE, followed by the 
previously active screen.
Selecting “Camera Guidelines” will activate the 
display of the dynamic guidelines that indicate 
the route of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the radio system 
display will show the area behind the vehicle, as 
seen by the Rear Back Up Camera, along with a 
warning message.
Rear Back Up Camera Display When enabled in the radio settings, active 
guidelines are overlaid on the image to illustrate 
the width of the vehicle and its projected backup 
path based on the steering wheel position. A 
dashed center line overlay indicates the center of 
the vehicle to assist in rear parking maneuvers or 
trailer hitch alignment. Different colored zones 
indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. 
The following table shows the approximate 
distances for each zone:
Messages On The Display
If the liftgate is opened, the camera will not detect 
any obstacle behind the vehicle. The display will 
show a dedicated warning message.
Make sure the liftgate is closed by pushing next to 
the lock until it clicks.
Important Notes
Ice, snow or mud on the surface of the camera 
may reduce its sensitivity. It is important to 
keep the camera surface clean, and free from 
debris.
When parking, be aware of obstacles that may 
be above or below the camera range.
AreaDistance From The 
Rear Of The Vehicle
Red 0–11.8 inches
(0–30 cm)
Yellow 11.8 inches to 3.3 feet 
(30 cm–1 m)
Green 3.3 feet or more 
(1 m or more)
 WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even 
when using the Rear Back Up Camera. 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!
To avoid vehicle damage, Rear Back Up 
Camera should only be used as a parking 
aid. The Rear Back Up Camera is unable to 
view every obstacle or object in your drive 
path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must 
be driven slowly when using the Rear Back 
Up Camera to be able to stop in time when an 
obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the 
driver look frequently over his/her shoulder 
when using the Rear Back Up Camera.

SAFETY
142
Sensors
The system uses radar sensors, located in the 
rear fascia/bumper, to detect the presence of 
vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes, etc.) in the 
rear side blind spots of the car.
The sensors are activated when any forward gear 
is engaged at a speed higher than about 6 mph 
(10 km/h), or when REVERSE (R) is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated when 
the car is stationary and in PARK (P).
The detection area of the system covers about a 
lane on both sides of the car around 10 ft 
(3 meters).This area begins from the door mirror and 
extends for about 20 ft (6 meters) towards the 
rear part of the car.
When the sensors are active the system monitors 
the detection areas on both sides of the car and 
warns the driver about the possible presence of 
cars in these areas.
Rear Sensor Location
While driving, the system monitors the detection 
zone in three different situations:
when you are being overtaken by a vehicle;
when you are overtaking a vehicle;
when a vehicle approaches from the side;
to check if it is necessary to intervene in order to 
keep the vehicle inside the lane on both sides.
NOTE:
The system does not signal the presence of fixed 
object (e.g. safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.). 
However, in some circumstances, the system 
may activate in the presence of these 
objects.This is normal and does not indicate a 
system malfunction.  The system does not warn the driver about the 
presence of cars coming from the opposite direc
-
tion, in the adjacent lanes.
Activation/Deactivation
The system can be activated/deactivated using 
the “Driver Assistance” menu in the radio system. 
Select signal type, strength levels and sensitivity.
NOTE:
Vehicles with an active system will display the 
following screen, on the radio system.
ABSA Menu Screen
System Intervention
The system intervenes in the following 
conditions:
the turn signals have been activated;
there is a vehicle in the adjacent lane on the 
same side of the turn signal (blind spot area);
lane lines are not correctly detected;
the driver tries to change lanes intentionally.
Applying a torque that corrects the steering 
wheel alignment does not always prevent an 
accident. It is always the driver's responsi -
bility to steer, brake or accelerate, especially 
after the ABSA system warning or after the 
steering wheel torque intervention. The 
driver is responsible for ensuring that there 
are no pedestrians, other vehicles or objects 
along the direction of the vehicle. Failure to 
comply with these precautions may cause 
serious accidents and injuries. The driver is 
fully responsible for holding a safe distance 
from the vehicle ahead respecting the 
highway code in force in the respective 
country.
In some cases, the system could apply an 
improper torque to the steering wheel. This 
application can be interrupted at any time by 
turning the steering wheel in the opposite 
direction.
 WARNING!
