loads (refer to the "Weights" chapter in
the "Technical Data" section).
116) The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the
speed, stop the car in a safe place and
arrange the load correctly to prevent the
trailer from swerving.
117) A prolonged use of the system could
cause the braking system to overheat. If
the brakes overheat, the HDC system will
be gradually deactivated, if active, after
warning the driver (the LED on the button
will turn off); it can be reactivated only
when the brake temperature has gone
down enough. The distance that can be
covered depends on the temperature of
the brakes and therefore on the gradient,
load and speed of the car.
118) The capabilities of an HDC-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the driver’s safety or the
safety of others.
DRIVING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
BSA (Blind-Spot Assist) SYSTEM
(where provided)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSA)
system uses two radar sensors, located
inside the rear bumper, to detect
highway licensable cars (cars, trucks,
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind
spot zones from the rear/front/side of the
car.
Rear Detection Zones
111 0304052885
When the car is started, the BSA warning
light
will momentarily illuminate in
both door mirrors to let the driver know
that the system is operational. The BSA
system sensors operate when the car is
in any forward gear or reverse and enters
stand-by mode when the car is in the P
(Park) position (versions with automatic
transmission).
The BSA detection area covers
approximately one lane width on both
sides of the car 3.8 m. The zone length
starts at the door mirror and extends
approximately 3 m beyond the rear
bumper of the car. The BSA system
monitors the detection zones on both
sides of the car when the car speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or higher
and will alert the driver of cars in these
areas.
119)
NOTES:
The BSA system does NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching cars
that are outside the detection zones.
The BSA system detection area DOES
NOT change if your car is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the
adjacent lane is clear for both your car
and trailer before making a lane change.
If the trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle,
sports equipment) extends beyond the
side of the car, this may result in the
BSA warning light remaining on for the
entire time the car is in a forward gear. It
may be necessary to deactivate the BSA
system manually to avoid miss-detection.
Refer to the “Settings” paragraph in
the “Multimedia” section for further
information.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSA)
system may experience drop outs
(blinking on and off) of the side mirror
warning lights when a motorbike or any
small object remains at the side of the
car for extended periods of time (more
than a couple of seconds).
