WARNING
The PreCrashsystem cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Risks
that compromise safety are never justified
by the use of this system. The system is not
a replacement for driver awareness and
cannot prevent a collision.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
●
The system is not always able to recognise
objects.
●
The system may not react to people or
animals or objects that cross length-wise or
that are hard to detect.
●
Metallic objects (e.g. fences) or other el-
ements of the public road or adverse
weather conditions can hinder its opera-
tion and thus its ability to detect collision
risk.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps that light
up or the messages shown on the dash-
board.
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries.
●
Never change settings on the Infotain-
ment System while driving.

worn properly and the correct sitting posi-
tion must be assumed.
The airbag system is not a substitute for seat
belts, but it is an integral part of the vehicle's
overall passive safety system. Please bear in
mind that the airbag system can only work
effectively when the vehicle occupants are
wearing their seat belts correctly and have
adjusted the headrests properly. Therefore,
it is most important to properly wear the seat
belts at all times, not only because this is re-
quired by law in most countries, but also for
your safety

wherefores of seat belts.
The airbag inflates in a matter of seconds, so
if you are not properly seated when the air-
bag is triggered, you may sustain fatal inju-
ries. Therefore, it is essential that all vehicle
occupants assume a correct sitting position
while travelling.
Sharp braking before an accident may cause
