Space-saver spare wheel (where provided):
the space-saver spare wheel is not
equipped with a TPMS sensor. Once
fitted, while driving, the warning light
comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds and then fixed). This condition
lasts until a wheel equipped with an
original TPMS sensor is fitted on the car.
Full size spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving, the
warning light comes on (flashing for
about 75 seconds and then fixed).
This condition lasts until a wheel
equipped with an original TPMS sensor
is fitted on the car. The system is then
restored and the warning light
switches off.
Full size spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving, the
warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-mentioned
cases it is advisable to check the spare
wheel tyre pressure before starting
driving.
WARNING If the tyres are replaced,
driving the car for short stretches, some
time might be needed before the system
is restored.
TPMS deactivation
(where provided)
The TPMS can be deactivated if
replacing all four wheel and tyre
assemblies (road tyres) with wheel and
tyre assemblies that do not have TPMS
sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tyre assemblies on your car.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace
all four wheel and tyre assemblies (road
tyres) with tyres not equipped with Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) sensors.
Then, drive the car for 10 minutes
above 24 km/h. The TPMS will acoustic
warning and the warning light will
flash for 75 seconds and then remain on
fixed. The instrument panel will display
the dedicated message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values.
Beginning from the next ignition cycle,
the TPMS will no longer acoustic warning
or display a dedicated message in the
instrument panel but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all
four wheel and tyre assemblies (road
tyres) with tyres equipped with TPM
sensors. Then, drive the car for up to 10
minutes above 24 km/h. The TPMS will
acoustic warning, the warning light
will flash for 75 seconds and then turn
off. The instrument panel will display
the dedicated message and then display
pressure values in place of the dashes.
On the next ignition cycle the TPM
service request message will no longer be
displayed if there are no other system
faults.

98) The BSM system is intended as a
driving aid, it does NOT warn the driver of
approaching vehicles that are outside the
detection zones. The driver must always
maintain an appropriate level of attention
to traffic and road conditions and
controlling the trajectory of the vehicle.
99) The BSM system is only an aid to
help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the
BSM system, always check your vehicles
mirrors, glance over your shoulder,
and use your direction indicator before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
100) Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is
not a back up aid system. It is intended
to be used to help a driver detect an
oncoming vehicle in a parking lot
situation. Drivers must be careful when
backing up, even when using the RCP
function. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure
to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots
before backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
101) The FCW system is a driving aid:
the driver must always pay full attention
while driving. Driving is always the
responsibility of the driver, who must take
into consideration the traffic conditions
to drive in complete safety. The driver
