SAFETY
This very important section describes the
safety systems that your vehicle may be
equipped with, and provides instructions on
how to use them correctly.
ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The vehicle may be equipped with the
following active safety devices:

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

Drive Train Control (DTC) System

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) System

Traction Control System (TCS)

Panic Brake Assist (PBA) System

Hill Start Assist (HSA) System

Dynamic Steering Torque (DST) System

Active Torque Vectoring (ATV) System (If
Equipped)
For the operation of the systems, see the
following pages.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
An integral part of the braking system, the
ABS prevents one or more wheels from
locking and slipping in all road surface
conditions, regardless of the intensity of the
braking action. The system ensures that the
vehicle can be controlled even during emer
-
gency braking, allowing the driver to opti -
mize stopping distances.
The system intervenes during braking when
the wheels are about to lock, typically in
emergency braking or low-grip conditions
where locking may be more frequent.
The system also improves control and
stability of the vehicle when braking on a
surface where the grip of the left and right
wheels varies, such as in a corner.
The Electronic Braking Force Distribution
(EBD) system works with the ABS, allowing
the brake force to be distributed between the
front and rear wheels.
System Intervention
The ABS equipped on this vehicle is
provided with the "Brake-by-wire" (Integrated
Brake System - IBS) function. With this
system, the command given by pressing the
brake pedal is not transmitted hydraulically,
but electrically. Therefore, the light pulsa
-
tion that is felt on the pedal with the tradi -
tional system is no longer noticeable.
WARNING!

The ABS contains sophisticated elec -
tronic equipment that may be suscep -
tible to interference caused by
improperly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interfer
-
ence can cause possible loss of anti-lock
braking capability. Installation of such
equipment should be performed by qual
-
ified professionals.

Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may
lead to a collision. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase braking or steering effi
-
ciency beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires
or the traction afforded.

The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.

The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety
of others.
