(Continued)
“Blind Spot Alert” Function Deactivation
When the system is deactivated (“Blind Spot
Alert” mode off), the BSM or RCP systems will not
emit an audible or a visual warning.
The BSM system will store the operating mode
that was active when the engine was stopped.
Each time the engine is started, the operating
mode stored previously will be recalled and used.
ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIST (ABSA)
S
YSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) system
function is to help avoid/limit lateral collisions
with cars located in the blind spot zones, even
changing the vehicle’s trajectory in order to keep
it in the detected lane.
The system warns the driver about the presence
of other vehicles in the detection area by illumi -
nating the warning light located within the door
mirror on the side in which the other vehicle was
detected. The system will also provide an
acoustic signal and/or vibration on the steering
wheel and/or counter-steering torque on the
steering wheel (if the respective item on the
“Driver Assistance” menu is set up and “Safety”
is selected on the radio system).
When the engine is started, the warning light
illuminates briefly to signal the driver that the
system is active (the warning light comes on even
if the system is activated through the radio
system menu). ABSA Indicator Light
Sensors
The system uses two radar sensors, located in
the rear fascia/bumper (one for each side) 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 m).
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for about 20 ft (6 m) 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.
WARNING!
The accident risk persists despite the
application of torque to the steering wheel by
the ABSA system.
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 anytime
turning the steering wheel in the opposite
direction.
WARNING!

Have a flat tire or a burnt-out bulb?
At times, a problem such as these may interfere
with your driving experience.
The section on emergencies can help you to deal
with critical situations independently.
HAZARD WARNING
FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning Flashers button is located in
the switch bank below the radio screen.
Push the button once to turn the Hazard Warning
Flashers on. When the button is activated, all
directional turn signals will flash on and off to
warn oncoming traffic of an emergency. Push the
button a second time to turn the Hazard Warning
Flashers off.
This is an emergency warning system and it
should not be used when the vehicle is in motion.
Use it only when your vehicle is disabled or
signaling a safety hazard warning for other
motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning Flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition is
cycled to OFF.Hazard Warning Flashers Button
SOS EMERGENCY CALL —
IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle has an on-board assistance feature
that is designed to provide support in case of an
accident and/or emergency. This feature is
automatically activated by air bag intervention, or
can be activated manually by pushing the button
located on the base of the rear view mirror.

NOTE:
SOS Emergency Call will only work with an
enabled network operator. SOS Emergency Call Button
The SOS Emergency Call system automatically
forwards a call to emergency services in the event
of an accident with air bag intervention providing
that the ignition device is in RUN position and the
air bags are working. When the connection
between the vehicle and a public safety operator
is made, your vehicle will automatically transmit
location and vehicle information to the
emergency service operator.
Only a public safety operator can remotely end
the SOS Emergency Call and, if necessary, call the
vehicle back through the Emergency Call system.
Once the call has ended, you can still call the
emergency service operator to indicate additional
information by pushing the button again.
To Use SOS Emergency Call
Push and hold the SOS Emergency Call button for
a few seconds. The LED, located next to the SOS
button, will blink once and then stay on indicating
a call has been placed.
CAUTION!
Prolonged use of the Hazard Warning Flashers
may discharge the vehicle’s battery.
