Tire Pressure Low
The indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the tire
pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases,
optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.In any situation in which the message on the display is
"See Manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer to “Auxiliary
Driving Systems” in “Safety,” strictly complying with the
indications that you find there.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) INDICATOR

illuminates, but should turn off as soon as the engine is
started.
ESC System Intervention

indicated by the flashing of the indicator light: it indicates
that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure : If the indicator light does not turn off,
or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found
in the ESC system. In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
The following auxiliary driving systems
are standard in this vehicle:
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
rear bumper (one for each side), to detect
the presence of other vehicles in the rear
side blind spots of your vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of other vehicles in the
detection area by illuminating the
warning light located within the door
mirror on the side in which the other
vehicle was detected. If equipped, an audible chime will also be heard to alert
the driver (if option is selected within the
Information and Entertainment System).
When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that the
system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) or when
REVERSE is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is in PARK.
The detection area of the system covers
approximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle.
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for 19 ft (6 m) towards the rear
part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system
monitors the detection areas on bothsides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.
While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different points
(side, rear and front) to check whether an
alert needs to be sent to the driver.
The system can detect the presence of a
vehicle in one of these three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
for the presence of fixed object (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring 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 vehicle’s mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.06016S0001EMRear Sensor Location
