Dynamic Steering Torque (DST) System
The DST function uses the integration of
the ESC system with the electric power
steering to increase the safety level of
the whole vehicle.
In critical situations (braking on surfaces
with different grip conditions), the ESC
system controls the steering through the
DST function to implement an additional
torque contribution on the steering wheel
in order to suggest the most correct
maneuver to the driver.
The coordinated action of the brakes and
steering increases the sensation of
safety and control of the vehicle.
Note: The DST feature is only meant to
help the driver realize the correct course
of action through small torques on the
steering wheel, which means the
effectiveness of the DST feature is highly
dependent on the driver’s sensitivity and
overall reaction to the applied torque. It
is very important to realize that this
feature will not steer the vehicle,
meaning the driver is still responsible for
steering the vehicle.
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
The following auxiliary driving systems
are available in this vehicle:
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) If
Equipped
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) If
Equipped
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
If Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
rear bumper (one for each side), to detect
the presence of other vehicles in the rear
side blind spots of your vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of other vehicles in the
detection area by illuminating the
warning light located within the door
mirror on the side in which the other
vehicle was detected. If equipped, an
audible chime will also be heard to alert
the driver (if option is selected within the
Information and Entertainment System).
When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that the
system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) or when
REVERSE is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is in PARK.
The detection area of the system covers
approximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle.
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for 19 ft (6 m) towards the rear
part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system
monitors the detection areas on both
