36) The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
37) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
38) The capability of the ABS must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
39) For the correct operation of the ABS, the
tyres must of necessity be the same make
and type on all wheels, in perfect condition
and, above all, of the prescribed type and
dimensions.
40) The ASR cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
41) The ASR system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
42) The capability of the ASR must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in

43) The HBA system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
44) The HBA system cannot prevent

TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
(where provided)
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52) 53) 54) 55)
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle can be equipped with the tyre
pressure monitoring system T.P.M.S.
which informs the driver about the tyre
inflating condition through viewing on the
display specific warning messages.
This system comprises a radio frequency
transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the
wheel rim inside the tyre), which is able to
send information on the tyre inflation
pressure of each wheel to the control
unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
The fault indications are not stored and
will therefore not be displayed after the
engine has been switched off and then on
again.
If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to
the instrument panel only after the car
has been in motion for a short time.
