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
06016S0002EMBSM Indicator Light

Page 96 of 260
Rear View
The system detects vehicles coming from
the rear part of your vehicle on both sides
and entering the rear detection area with
a difference in speed of less than 31 mph
(50 km/h) with relation to your vehicle.
Overtaking Vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly,
with a difference in speed of less than
15 mph (25 km/h) and the vehicle stays in
the blind spot for approximately
1.5 seconds, the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side
illuminates.
If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater than 15 mph
(25 km/h), the warning light will not
illuminate.
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP)
System
This system helps the driver during
reverse maneuvers in the case of reduced
visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle to detect objects moving towards
the sides of the vehicle, with a minimum
speed between 1 mph (1 km/h) and
2 mph (3 km/h) and objects moving at a
maximum speed of 21 mph (35 km/h), in
areas such as parking lots.
The system activation is signaled to the
driver by an acoustic warning.Note:
If the sensors are covered by objects
or vehicles, the system will not warn the
driver.
For the system to operate correctly,
the rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located with
any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack,
etc.).
Warning!
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
RCP. 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.
Operating Mode
The system may be activated/
deactivated via the Information and
Entertainment System. To access the
function, select the following items on
the main menu in sequence:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Safety.”
3. “Blind Spot Alert.”
"Blind Spot Alert” Visual Mode
When the system is enabled, the warning
light within the door mirror on the side of
the detected object illuminates.
The visual warning on the mirror will blink
if the driver activates the turn signals,
indicating a lane change.
The warning will be fixed if the driver
stays in the same lane.
"Blind Spot Alert" Function
Deactivation
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
Spot Alert" mode off), the BSM or RCP
systems will not emit an acoustic or a
visual warning.
The BSM system will store the operating
mode running when the engine was
stopped. Each time the engine is started,
the operating mode stored previously will
be recalled and used.

Page 137 of 260
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
The vehicle is equipped with electric park
brake to guarantee better use and
optimal performance compared to a
manually operated park brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch located on the center console, a
motor with caliper for each rear wheel,
and an electronic control module.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.
Automatically, in "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
Note: Normally, the electric parking
brake is engaged automatically when the
engine is stopped. This function can be
deactivated/activated on the
Information and Entertainment system
by selecting the following items in sequence on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic
Parking Brake".
In addition to engaging the electric park
brake, along with steering and positioning
chocks in front of the wheels (when on a
steep slope), you must always place the
vehicle in the PARK (P) mode before
leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to
unlock the electric park brake.
Engaging The Park Brake Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the
center console to manually engage the
electric park brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.
A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake engaged,
the BRAKE warning light on the
instrument panel and the switch will
illuminate.
Caution!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated. In
this case the driver is responsible for brake
activation and vehicle parking in complete
safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on the
center console pulled as long as the brake
action is necessary.
The BRAKE warning light may turn on
with the hydraulic system temporarily
unavailable, in this case braking is
controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically
turn on in the same way as for normal
braking with the use of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console
to stop the braking action with the
vehicle in motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph
(3 km/h) is reached and the switch is kept
pulled, the park brake will definitively
engage.
Note:
Driving the vehicle with the
electric parking brake engaged, or using
it several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the braking
system.

electric parking brake disengaged, this
indicates a fault: in this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the park brake, brake pedal or
the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle or in a location accessible to children.
A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
Be sure the park brake is fully disengaged
before driving; failure to do so can lead to
brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the park brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause
damage or injury.
Caution!
Never use gear position PARK (P) instead of
the electric parking brake. Always engage
the electric parking brake when parking the
vehicle to prevent injury or damage caused
by the unexpected movement of the vehicle.
