Understanding the Vehicle
equipped with the ESC electronic
system and related subsystems. These
allow, during braking, not to block
the wheels while maintaining good
maneuverability and stability of the car.
Even during the acceleration phases, the
TCS system can be of help avoiding the
slipping of the driving wheels.
External Lights
To drive safely it is essential to be able
to see the road well and be seen by
others; this is why the car is equipped
with the most sophisticated lighting
systems.
Air Conditioning System
Even the air conditioning of the
passenger compartment avoids fogging
conditions and helps to increase the
comfort on board and therefore the
promptness of reflexes.
Occupants Restraint
Systems (ORS)
The listed ORS are some of the most
important safety functions in your
vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
shoulder belts) for the driver and all
passengers.
• Advanced front airbags for driver and
passenger.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side
airbags.
• Supplemental Side AirBag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and front
passenger.
• An energy-absorbing steering column
and steering wheel.
• All passengers seat belts include
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR),
which lock the seat belt webbing into
position by extending the belt all the
way out and then adjusting the belt to
the desired length to restrain a child
seat or secure a large item in a seat.
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible. If you
are carrying children too small for adult-
sized seat belts, the seat belts or the
Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren
(LATCH) function also can be used to
hold infant and child restraint systems.
For more information on LATCH, refer to
“Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren
(LATCH)” in this section.
WARNING!
To help provide maximum protection,
you are advised to keep the seatback in
the most upright position possible and
the seat belt close to your chest and
pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in the
event of an accident you could move
too far forward and could be injured.
Traveling with the seatback too far
reclined could also be dangerous: even if
the seat belts are fastened, they may
not work correctly. In fact, the belt itself
may not be close enough to your body
and, if it is in front of you, it could cause
neck wounds or other injuries in an
accident. Additionally, in an accident,
the lower section of the belt could press
against the upper part of your stomach
rather than the pelvic area, causing
serious internal injuries.
NOTE:
The advanced airbags have a multi stage
inflator. This allows the airbag to have
different stages of inflation based on the
severity and type of collision.
