NOTE:
If the seat belts of the front seats are not correctly
fast
ened, the system will not intervene on the
braking system (only audible and visual signals
will be provided).
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be changed
throu
gh the Information and Entertainment
system menu, choosing from one of the following
three options: "Near", "Medium" or "Far". Refer to
the description in the Information and
Entertainment system Supplement for how to
change the settings.
The default setting is "Medium". With this setting,
the
system warns the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is at a
standard distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far", the
sys
tem will warn the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is at a
greater distance, thus providing the possibility of
acting on the brakes more lightly and gradually.
This setting provides the driver with the maximum
possible reaction time to prevent a potential
collision.
With the option set to "Near", the system will alert
the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front when that vehicle is close. This setting
offers the driver a lower reaction time compared
to the "Medium" and "Far" settings, in the event of
a potential collision, but permits more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in the
mem
ory when the engine is turned off.
System Limited Operation Warning
If a dedicated message is displayed, a condition
l
im
iting the system operation may have occurred.
The possible reasons of this limitation are
something is blocking the camera view or a fault.
If an obstruction is signaled, clean the area of the
radar on the front fascia/bumper, and the
camera area on the windshield.
If a fault in the system is occurring, it will still be
pos
sible to drive the vehicle normally, but
automatic braking will not be available in the
event of an impending collision.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal and
complete operation. Should the fault persist,
contact an authorized dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system turns off and a dedicated message
is
shown on the display, it means that there is a
fault with the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the vehicle,
but
you are advised to contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar cannot
d
etect obstacles correctly, the system is
deactivated and a dedicated message appears
on the display. This generally occurs in the event
of poor visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to obstructions such as
mud, dirt or ice on the fascia/bumper. In such
cases, a dedicated message will be shown on the
display and the system will be deactivated. This
message can sometimes appear in conditions of
high reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflective tiles or
ice or snow). When the conditions limiting the
system functions end, it will go back to normal
and complete operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message could
be
displayed when the radar is not detecting any
vehicles or objects within its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the reason
behi
nd this message, check if the sensor is dirty.
It could be necessary to clean or remove any
obstructions in the area.
If the message appears frequently, even in the
absence of atmospheric conditions such as snow,
rain, mud or other obstructions, contact an
authorized dealer for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions, manually
removing the decorative cover trim and cleaning
the radar surface could be required. Have this
operation performed at an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not install devices,
acc
essories or aerodynamic attachments in front
of the sensor or darken it in any way, as this can
compromise the correct functioning of the
system.
Frontal Collision Alarm With Active Braking —
If Equipped
If this function is selected, the brakes are
o
pe
rated to reduce the speed of the vehicle in the
event of potential frontal impact.
This function applies an additional braking
pres
sure if the braking pressure applied by the
driver does not suffice to prevent potential frontal
impact.
The function is active with speed above 2 mph
(4
km/h).
