SAFETY

Lane change by other vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lane,
entering the same lane as your car and
within the radar sensor’s operating
range, may cause the system fig. 62 to
intervene.

F1B0715
Vehicles travelling at right angles to
the vehicle
The system could temporarily react to
a vehicle that is passing through the
radar sensor’s operating range at right
angles fig. 63.

Important notes
The system has not been designed
to prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take
into account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car,
in case of reflecting metal objects
different from other cars, such as safety
barriers, road signs, barriers before
parking lots, toll-gates, level crossings,
gates, railways, objects near road
constructions sites or higher than
the car (e.g. a flyover). In the same
way, the system may intervene inside
multi-storey car parks or tunnels, or
due to a glare on the road surface.
These possible activations follow the
normal operating logic of the system
and must not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven off-
road, the system must be deactivated,
to avoid unnecessary warnings.
Automatic deactivation is signalled
by the dedicated warning light/icon
switching on in the instrument panel
(see the instructions in the "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph,
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter).

Description
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
Correct tyre pressure
If no under-inflated tyres are detected,
the outline of the car will be shown on
the display.
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
warning light on the instrument
panel and a warning message on the
display, along with an acoustic signal.
