SAFETY
112
must never be tested irresponsibly
or dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the
safety of others.
77)
If the driver presses the accelerator
pedal fully or steers abruptly during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
78)
The system intervenes on vehicles,
pedestrians and cyclists travelling in
the same lane. Animals and things
(e.g. pushchairs) are not taken into
consideration.
79)
If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance or if it is washed in
an automatic car wash with an obstacle
in the front part (e.g. another vehicle, a
wall or another obstacle), the system
may detect its presence and activate.
Therefore, in this case the system must be
deactivated.
80)
If the iTPMS system signals a pressure
drop on the tyres, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.
81)
The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacement system for
maintenance or a safety system.
82)
Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
83)
The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (for example when a
tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
84)
The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
85)
Insufficient tyre inflation increases
electrical energy consumption, reduces the
tread duration and may affect your ability
to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
29)
The system may have limited operation
or not work at all in weather conditions
such as, low sun, heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow.
30)
System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other cars
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the car.
31)
Operation can be adversely affected
by any structural change made to the
car, such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the car.
32)
Incorrect repairs in the zone where the
camera is mounted may interfere with its
field of vision and reduce its performance
(e.g. application of fillers or glues to
remove scratches). Go to a Dealership for
any operation of this type.
33)
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Dealership.
34)
The camera may have limited
or absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on
the windscreen glass.
35)
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of
dust, condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen glass, by traffic conditions
(e.g. cars that are driving not aligned
with yours, car driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend
with a small radius of curvature), by
road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make
sure the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.

PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the car comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that
the protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
