If the vehicle approaches a bend that is too
narrow with respect to the current speed, the
TJA system will deactivate.
TRAFFIC SIGN
RECOGNITION (TSR)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system uses a
camera mounted on the windshield to detect
recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
Signs indicating the end of the situations
indicated above If the camera does not detect valid speed limits,
the radio system navigation system may suggest
unregulated speed limits.
The system always checks the traffic signs
indicating the current speed limit signs. The
system is able to recognize and display up to two
different road signs in the instrument cluster
display.
Depending on the unit of measurement (km or
mph) set through the “Unit of Measurement”
menu in the radio system, the TSR system will
automatically show the indication of the road sign
in the unit of measurements selected in the
instrument cluster display.
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
The TSR System can be activated/deactivated in
the radio system in the “Driver Assistance” menu.
The system activation is signaled by road signs
shown on the instrument cluster display.

NOTE:

By selecting “Blinking”, the driver can activate
a warning to display when the speed exceeds
the limit indicated by the TSR System. The
speed road sign on the instrument cluster
display will blink until the vehicle speed drops
below the displayed limit.
Selecting “Offset” will set the speed at which
“Blinking” is activated up to a maximum of
6 mph (10 km/h) above the limit detected by
the system.
If no speed limit signs are found, the system
will revert to the speed limit signs that are
stored in the NAV system.
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the car in the event that the TJA
system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel when the TJA system is activated.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
and pay attention to traffic conditions.
The TJA system should only be used as a
driving aid. The driver must always pay
attention to their surroundings when the
system is operating and be ready to take
control of the vehicle at any time.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers) that could
interfere with the hand detection sensor on
the steering wheel.

The system status can always be viewed through
the instrument cluster display.
The instrument cluster display shows only the
speed limit indications and consists of the
following steps:
The new speed limit recognized by the system,
which is indicated by means of a
predetermined color. The road sign indicating
the end of the speed limit or a “Road Sign Not
Detected” message may appear in this zone.
After a predetermined distance, the previously
displayed road sign changes color to inform
the driver that the speed limit provided may no
longer be valid.1 — Traffic Sign Recognized
INTELLIGENT SPEED
CONTROL (ISC) SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Intelligent Speed Control (ISC) system is
always paired with the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system. The ISC system suggests an
automatic speed adjustment to the driver based
on the speed limit for the road being traveled. The
driver can decide whether to accept or reject the
automatic speed adjustment, using the switch on
the steering wheel.
If the speed limit is exceeded according to the
road signs or traffic conditions, a dedicated

above or below the suggested speed set by the
ISC system. In this instance, the road sign infor -
mation shown in the instrument cluster display
will continue to be detected by the TSR system.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The system status is indicated by a white or green
icon in the instrument cluster display (similar to
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) device) to the
left of the road sign indications provided by the
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system.
ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION OF THE
S
UGGESTED SPEED
The system can be activated if the driver has
activated the following systems beforehand:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
When these systems are active, a telltale will
display in the instrument cluster display
indicating the suggested speed provided by the
TSR system. The driver has the option to accept
or reject this using the RES/SET switch on the
steering wheel.
To accept the proposed speed and adjust the
speed set by ACC, move the RES/SET switch up or
down in the direction indicated in the telltale.
To reject the proposed speed, move the RES/SET
switch up or down in the direction opposite of the
arrow in the telltale. The ACC system will continue
to regulate to the previously set speed.

The system operates in the same way, but
mirrored, in the event of exiting the right lane
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the system is active, both lane lines on the
display illuminate in white to indicate that both of
the lane markings have been detected.
When lane markings are detected, the system is
ready to provide indications in case the driver
unintentionally leaves the lane (turn signal not
activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system detects
the lane markings while the vehicle is in motion,
it will adjust the display accordingly (from white to
yellow and vice versa, and increase their
thickness).
If a lane line is crossed, the driver is alerted by an
audible signal as well as the visual indication in
the instrument cluster. The signal is emitted
through the speakers on the side of the lane
marking which is being crossed (e.g. if the vehicle
is exceeding the left line of the lane, the audible
signal will come from the speakers on the left of
the vehicle).
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a condition
limiting the Lane Departure Warning system
operation may have occurred. This could be an
obstruction of the camera view, or a fault in the
system.If an obstruction is detected, clean the area of the
windshield by the interior rearview mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in normal
conditions, the system may not function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system are
corrected, it will go back to normal operation.
Should a fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and the warning light
appears on the display, it means that there is a
system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the vehicle,
but you are advised to contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
CHANGING LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
S
TATUS
The system's sensitivity can be set through the
radio system. Sensitivity “High” or “Low” can be
selected.
To access the function, from the main menu
select the following in order:
1. Driver Assistance
2. Lane Departure Warning
3. Sensitivity

LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system uses a
camera located on the windshield to detect the
lane markings and calculate the position of the
vehicle within such markings, in order to make
sure that the vehicle remains inside the lane. This
is an active system that will apply torque to the
steering wheel if it senses that the vehicle is
drifting out of the lane.
When one or both lane markings are detected
and the vehicle passes over one without a turn
signal being applied, the system will apply torque
to the steering wheel and a visual signal will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. An
audible signal may also sound.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the lane line
without any driver intervention, the surpassed
lane line (left or right) will light up on the
instrument cluster display to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back inside the lane limits.

NOTE:
The system operates in the same way, but
mirrored, in the event of exiting the right lane
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the system is active, both lane lines on the
display illuminate in white to indicate the
successful detection of both limits.
When lane markings are detected, the system is
ready to provide indications in case the driver
unintentionally leaves the lane (turn signal not
activated).
As the Lane Keeping Assist system detects the
lane markings while the vehicle is in motion, it will
adjust the display accordingly (from white to
yellow and yellow to white, and increase their
thickness).
If a lane line is crossed, the driver is alerted by an
audible signal as well as the visual indication in
the instrument cluster. The signal is emitted
through the speakers on the side of the lane
marking which is being crossed (e.g. if the vehicle
is exceeding the left line of the lane, the audible
signal will come from the speakers on the left of
the vehicle).
Hands Presence On The Steering Wheel
Detection
The system is able to detect the presence of the
driver’s hands on the steering wheel.
When the system does not detect the presence of
hands on the steering wheel for a few seconds
(up to 6 seconds), the following screen will be
displayed on the instrument cluster display. No
acoustic warning will be emitted in this case.Hand Presence On The Steering Wheel Not
Detected Display (Up To 6 Seconds)
When the system does not detect the presence of
hands on the steering wheel for a few seconds
(from 6 to 15 seconds), the following screen will
be displayed on the instrument cluster display. A
short acoustic signal will sound if hands are not
detected on the steering wheel for 6 to 12 sec-
onds. A continuous signal will sound if hands are
not detected on the steering wheel for 12 to
15 seconds.
Hand Presence On The Steering Wheel Not Detected Display (6 To 15 Seconds) After 15 seconds with the hands removed from
the steering wheel, the LKA system will be
deactivated and a dedicated message will be
shown on the instrument cluster display. A short
acoustic signal will sound in this case.
In any of the situations above where the hands
are removed from the steering wheel for more
than 6 seconds, it is necessary to reposition the
hands on the steering wheel.
Changing The System Sensitivity
The system's sensitivity can be set through the
radio system in the Driver Assistance menu.
Sensitivity “Early” or “Late” can be selected.
Changing The System Strength
The system’s strength can be set through the
radio system in the Driver Assistance menu.

Rear Back Up Camera Display
When enabled in the radio settings, active
guidelines are overlaid on the image to illustrate
the width of the vehicle and its projected backup
path based on the steering wheel position. A
dashed center line overlay indicates the center of
the vehicle to assist with parking. Different
colored zones indicate the distance to the rear of
the vehicle. The following table shows the
approximate distances for each zone: Messages On The Display
If the trunk lid is lifted, the camera will not detect
any obstacle behind the vehicle. The display will
show a dedicated warning message.
Make sure the trunk lid is closed by pushing next
to the lock until it clicks.
Important Notes
Ice, snow or mud on the surface of the camera
may reduce its sensitivity. It is important to
keep the camera surface clean, and free from
debris.
When parking, be aware of obstacles that may
be above or under the camera range.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
Before refueling, make sure that the fuel type is
correct.
Also, stop the engine before refueling.

NOTE:
An inefficient catalytic converter leads to harmful
exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollu
-
tion.

WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the Rear Back Up Camera. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for the safety
of your surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage, Rear Back Up
Camera should only be used as a parking
aid. The Rear Back Up Camera is unable to
view every obstacle or object in your drive
path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must
be driven slowly when using the Rear Back
Up Camera to be able to stop in time when
an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that
the driver look frequently over his/her
shoulder when using the Rear Back Up
Camera.
CAUTION!
Never introduce leaded fuel to the tank, even
in small amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter beyond
repair.
CAUTION!

(Continued)
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 Brake System (ABS)
Active Torque Vectoring (ATV)
Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)
Drive Train Control (DTC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
Panic Brake Assist (PBA)
Traction Control System (TCS)
For the operation of the systems, see the
following pages.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE 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 emergency braking, allowing the driver to
optimize 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 pulsation that is felt on the
pedal with the traditional system is no longer
noticeable.
ACTIVE TORQUE VECTORING (ATV) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The dynamic drive control is used to optimize and
balance the drive torque between the wheels of
the same axles. The ATV system improves the grip
in turns, sending more drive torque to the
external wheel.
Given that, in a turn, the external wheels of the
car travel more than the internal ones and
therefore turn faster, sending a higher thrust to
the external rear wheel allows for the car to be
more stable and to not suffer an "understeer"
condition. Understeer occurs when the vehicle is
turning less than appropriate for the steering
wheel position.
WARNING!
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be susceptible to
interference caused by improperly installed
or high output radio transmitting equipment.
This interference can cause possible loss of
anti-lock braking capability. Installation of
such equipment should be performed by
qualified 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 efficiency
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.
WARNING!
22_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 129

SAFETY

130

DYNAMIC STEERING TORQUE (DST)
DST uses the integration of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system with the electric
power steering to increase the safety level of the
whole vehicle.
In critical situations (braking on surfaces with
different grip conditions), the ESC system
controls the steering through the DST function to
implement an additional torque contribution on
the steering wheel in order to suggest the most
correct maneuver to the driver.
The coordinated action of the brakes and
steering increases the sensation of safety and
control of the vehicle.

NOTE:
The DST feature is only meant to help the driver
realize the correct course of action through small
torques on the steering wheel, which means the
effectiveness of the DST feature is highly depen-
dent on the driver’s sensitivity and overall reac -
tion to the applied torque. It is very important to
realize that this feature will not steer the vehicle,
meaning the driver is still responsible for steering
the vehicle.
DRIVE TRAIN CONTROL (DTC) SYSTEM —
I
F EQUIPPED
Some models of this vehicle are equipped with an
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which offers an
optimal drive for countless driving conditions and
road surfaces. The system reduces the slipping of
the tires to a minimum, automatically
redistributing the torque to the front and rear
wheels as needed. To maximize fuel savings, the vehicle with AWD
automatically passes to Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
when the road and environmental conditions are
such that they wouldn't cause the tires to slip.
When the road and environmental conditions
require better traction, the vehicle automatically
goes to AWD mode.

NOTE:
If the system failure symbol switches on, after
starting the engine or while driving, it means that
the AWD system is not working properly. If the
warning message activates frequently, it is
recommended to carry out the maintenance
operations.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
The ESC system improves the directional control
and stability of the vehicle in various driving
conditions.
The ESC system corrects the vehicle’s understeer
and oversteer, distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels. The torque supplied by the
engine can also be reduced in order to maintain
control of the vehicle.
Oversteer
occurs when the vehicle is turning
more than it should according to the angle of
the steering wheel.
Understeer occurs when the vehicle is turning
less than it should according to the angle of
the steering wheel.
The ESC system uses sensors installed on the
vehicle to determine the path that the driver
intends to follow and compares it with the
vehicle’s effective path. When the real path
deviates from the desired path, the ESC system
intervenes to counteract the above conditions. System Intervention
The intervention of the system is indicated by the
flashing of the ESC Warning Light on the
instrument panel, to inform the driver that the
vehicle stability and grip are critical.
WARNING!

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of
vehicle control due to inappropriate driver
input for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive,
and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s
safety or the safety of others.

Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly
maintain your vehicle, may change the
handling characteristics of your vehicle, and
may negatively affect the performance of the
ESC system. Changes to the steering system,
suspension, braking system, tire type and
size or wheel size may adversely affect ESC
performance. Improperly inflated and
unevenly worn tires may also degrade ESC
performance. Any vehicle modification or
poor vehicle maintenance that reduces the
effectiveness of the ESC system can
increase the risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

SAFETY

134

(Continued)
“Blind Spot Alert” Function Deactivation
When the system is deactivated (“Blind Spot
Alert” mode off), the BSM or RCP systems will not
emit an audible or a visual warning.
The BSM system will store the operating mode
that was active when the engine was stopped.
Each time the engine is started, the operating
mode stored previously will be recalled and used.
ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIST (ABSA)
S
YSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) system
function is to help avoid/limit lateral collisions
with cars located in the blind spot zones, even
changing the vehicle’s trajectory in order to keep
it in the detected lane.
The system warns the driver about the presence
of other vehicles in the detection area by illumi -
nating the warning light located within the door
mirror on the side in which the other vehicle was
detected. The system will also provide an
acoustic signal and/or vibration on the steering
wheel and/or counter-steering torque on the
steering wheel (if the respective item on the
“Driver Assistance” menu is set up and “Safety”
is selected on the radio system).
When the engine is started, the warning light
illuminates briefly to signal the driver that the
system is active (the warning light comes on even
if the system is activated through the radio
system menu). ABSA Indicator Light
Sensors
The system uses two radar sensors, located in
the rear fascia/bumper (one for each side) to
detect the presence of vehicles (cars, trucks,
motorbikes, etc.) in the rear side blind spots of
the car.
The sensors are activated when any forward gear
is engaged at a speed higher than about 6 mph
(10 km/h), or when REVERSE (R) is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated when
the car is stationary and in PARK (P).
The detection area of the system covers about a
lane on both sides of the car around 10 ft (3 m).
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for about 20 ft (6 m) towards the rear
part of the car.
When the sensors are active the system monitors
the detection areas on both sides of the car and
warns the driver about the possible presence of
cars in these areas.
WARNING!
The accident risk persists despite the
application of torque to the steering wheel by
the ABSA system.
Applying a torque that corrects the steering
wheel alignment does not always prevent an
accident. It is always the driver's responsi
-
bility to steer, brake or accelerate, especially
after the ABSA system warning or after the
steering wheel torque intervention. The
driver is responsible for ensuring that there
are no pedestrians, other vehicles or objects
along the direction of the vehicle. Failure to
comply with these precautions may cause
serious accidents and injuries. The driver is
fully responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
In some cases, the system could apply an
improper torque to the steering wheel. This
application can be interrupted at anytime
turning the steering wheel in the opposite
direction.
