Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect 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 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 behind 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 your 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 your authorized dealer.
Note: It is recommended that you do not
install devices, accessories 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
operated to reduce the speed of the
vehicle in the event of potential frontal
impact.
This function applies an additional
braking pressure if the braking pressure
applied by the driver does not suffice to
prevent potential frontal impact.
The function is active with speed above
4 mph (7 km/h).
Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system
intervention might be unexpected or
delayed. The driver must therefore be
very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a
roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the
vehicle.
Note: In particularly complex traffic
conditions, the driver can deactivate the
system manually through the Information
and Entertainment System.
Driving Close To A Bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend, the
system may detect a vehicle in front you,
but not driving in the same driving lane. In
cases such as these, the system may
intervene.
