The system is active:
Each time the engine is started.
In the Information and Entertainment
System.
When the ignition is in the ON position.
The vehicle speed is between 4 mph
(7 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
When the front seat belts are fastened.
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be changed
through the Information and Entertainment
System menu, choosing from one of the
following three options: "Near", "Med" or
"Far". Refer to the description in the “Infor
-
mation and Entertainment System Supple
-
ment” for how to change the settings.
The default setting is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when that vehicle is at a standard distance,
between that of the other two settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far", the
system will warn the driver of a possible colli
-
sion with the vehicle in front when that
vehicle is at a greater distance, thus
providing the possibility of acting on the
brakes more lightly and gradually. This
setting provides the drivers with the
maximum possible reaction time to prevent a
potential collision.
With the option set to "Near", the system will
alert the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front when that vehicle is
close. This setting offers the driver a lower
reaction time compared to the "Med" and
"Far" settings, in the event of a potential
collision, but permits more dynamic driving
of the vehicle.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in the
memory when the engine is turned OFF.
System Limited Operation Signal
If a dedicated message is displayed, a condi
-
tion limiting the system operation may have
occurred. The possible reasons of this limita
-
tion are if something is blocking the camera
view, or a fault is present.
If an obstruction is signaled, clean the area
of the windshield.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in
normal conditions, the system may be not
completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation. Should the fault
persist, contact your authorized dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system turns off and a dedicated
message is shown on the display, it means
that there is a fault with the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact you
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar cannot
detect obstacles correctly, the system is
deactivated and a dedicated message
appears on the display. This generally occurs
in the event of poor visibility, such as when
it is snowing or raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to obstructions
such as mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In
such cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system will be
deactivated. This message can sometimes
appear in conditions of high reflectivity (e.g.
tunnels with reflective tiles or ice or snow).
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, it will go back to normal and
complete operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message
could be displayed when the radar is not
detecting any vehicles or objects within its
view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the reason
behind this message, check if the sensor is
dirty. It could be necessary to clean or
remove any obstructions in the area.
If the message appears frequently, even in
the absence of atmospheric conditions such
as snow, rain, mud or other obstructions,
