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.
If the speed set by the ACC system is the same as
the speed detected by the TSR system, the speed
limit indicator on the instrument cluster display
will be highlighted with a green circle. 1 — Suggested Speed Higher Than Current Speed
2 — Suggested Speed Lower Than Current Speed
1 — Road Sign Recognized
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the
rear, and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper
and a detected obstacle when backing up or
moving forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
The vehicle brakes may be automatically applied
and released when performing a reverse parking
maneuver if the system detects a possible
collision with an obstacle.
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and the
system is on, the front and rear sensors are
activated. If the vehicle moves from REVERSE to
a forward gear, the rear sensors are deactivated,
while the front sensors remain active until the
speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.

NOTE:
In certain operating conditions, the system could
start detecting an obstacle only after the vehicle
has moved slightly (a few inches).
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the ParkSense system. 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.

SAFETY

132

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.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
The following auxiliary driving systems are
available in this vehicle:
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driver Attention Assist (DAA)
The vehicle may also be fitted with the following
driving assistance systems:
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
Highway Assist System (HAS)
Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Intelligent Speed Control (ISC)
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
For the operation of the LDW, LKA, HAS, TJA, ACC,
ISC, or TSR systems, see

Ú
page 81.

NOTE:
When driving on two-way roads where there is no
lane dividing center line (e.g. on unpaved roads),
the use of the Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA), HAS, TJA, and LKA systems is strongly discour
-
aged as the system could detect the entire road
as single-lane dividing lines.

NOTE:
The driving assistance systems are designed to
aid in driving the car. The driver must always
maintain a sufficient level of attention to the
traffic and road conditions and control the trajec -
tory of the car.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
S
YSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The BSM system uses two radar sensors, located
in the rear fascia/bumper (one on each side), to
detect the presence of other vehicles in the rear
side blind spots of your vehicle.
Rear Sensor Location
The system warns the driver about the presence
of other vehicles in the detection area by illumi -
nating the BSM 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 radio system). BSM Indicator Light
When the engine is started, the warning light
illuminates briefly 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 approximately
6 mph (10 km/h). The sensors are temporarily deactivated when
the vehicle is stationary or the vehicle is in PARK.
The detection area of the system covers approxi -
mately one lane on both sides of the vehicle.
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for approximately 19 ft (6 m) towards the
rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system
monitors the detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle and warns the driver about the possible
presence of vehicles in these areas.
