Warning
Forward collision warning is just a
warning system and does not apply the
brakes. When approaching a vehicle
ahead too rapidly, there may not be
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full responsibility
for the appropriate following distance
based on traffic, weather and visibility
conditions.
The complete attention of the driver
is always required while driving. The
driver must always be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.
Activation
Forward collision warning operates up to
80 km/h when a pedestrian or a cyclist
has been detected.
Forward collision warning operates from
5 km/h to 135 km/h when a moving or
stationary vehicle has been detected.
Alerting the driver
flashes on the cluster and a
warning chime sounds accompanied by
a message, when a collision is imminent
and immediate driver's action is required.
Caution
The colour lighting of this control
indicator does not correspond to local
traffic laws on following distance.
The driver bears full responsibility
for maintaining safe following distance
according to applicable traffic rules,
weather and road conditions etc. at all
times.
Deactivation
The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalization.
System limitations
Forward collision warning is designed
to warn on vehicles, cyclists and
pedestrians, but may react also to other
objects.
The system performance may be
degraded or not available in the following
cases:
●
driving on winding or hilly roads
●
driving during nighttime
●
weather limits visibility, such as fog,
rain, or snow
●
the sensor in the windscreen is blocked
by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt etc.
●
the windscreen is damaged or affected
by foreign objects, e.g. stickers
Vehicle Stability
Assistance System
ANTI-SLIP REGULATOR (ASR)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control)
optimises traction by using engine
braking and by applying the brakes on
the driving wheels to avoid one or more
wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the
vehicle’s trajectory and the path desired
by the driver, the dynamic stability
control system automatically uses engine
braking and the brakes on one or more
wheels to return the vehicle to the
desired path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
These systems are activated
automatically every time the vehicle is
started.
These systems are activated in the
event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing
on the instrument panel).
