Traffic Signs Detected
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
graphic message is displayed on the instrument
panel display.

NOTE:
The driver should always obey traffic laws and
speed limits. Never drive above the applicable
speed limit restrictions.RES/SET Switch
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
To Activate
The system can be activated in the radio system
within the “Driver Assistance” menu. The symbol
illuminates in the instrument cluster display
when the system is active.1 — ISC System Active
To Deactivate
The system is deactivated under the following
conditions:
When the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
system is deactivated
When the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system is deactivated

NOTE:
Selecting “Speed Offset” allows the driver to set
the speed up to a maximum of 6 mph (10 km/h)
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.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)
The vehicle is equipped with a TPMS that sends
the inflation pressure information of each tire to
the control unit, and will signal the driver in the
event of insufficient tire pressure. The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel
rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel
as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature by
approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
also decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours, or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three hour
period. The cold tire inflation pressure must not
exceed the maximum inflation pressure molded
into the tire sidewall. The tire pressure will also
increase as the vehicle is driven. This is normal,
and there should be no adjustment for this
increased pressure. See

Ú
page 206 for
information on how to properly inflate the
vehicle’s tires.
The TPMS will signal the driver if pressure falls
below the warning limit for any reason, including
the effects of low temperature and normal loss of
pressure from the tire.
The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient tire
pressure when pressure is equal to or greater
than the prescribed cold inflation level.
Therefore, if insufficient tire pressure is indicated
by the ( ) warning light displaying in the
instrument cluster, increase the inflation
pressure up to the prescribed cold inflation value. The system will automatically update, and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will turn off once the system receives the updated
tire pressures. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this information.

NOTE:
The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tire pressure
drops (e.g. if a tire bursts). In this case, proceed
with caution and avoid abrupt steering.
Operating Example
For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more than three
hours) placard pressure of 33 psi (227 kPa). If
the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the
measured tire pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a
temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease
the tire pressure to approximately 24 psi
(165 kPa). This tire pressure is low enough to turn
on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light. Driving the vehicle may cause the tire
pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi
(193 kPa), but the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will still be on. In this
situation, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will turn off only after the tires are
inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold
placard pressure value.
WARNING!
The system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect possible
conditions leading to an accident in
advance. Failure to take into account this
warning may lead to serious or fatal injuries.
The system may activate, assessing the
trajectory of the vehicle, for the presence of
reflecting metal objects different from other
vehicles, such as safety barriers, road signs,
barriers before parking lots, tollgates, level
crossings, gates, railways, objects near road
constructions sites or higher than the vehicle
(e.g. a fly-over). In the same way, the system
may intervene inside multi-story parking lots
or tunnels, or due to a glare on the road
surface. These possible activations are a
consequence of the real driving scenario
coverage by the system and must not be
regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for road use
only. If the vehicle is driven on a track, the
system must be deactivated to avoid
unnecessary warnings. Automatic deacti
-
vation is signaled by the dedicated warning
light/symbol switching on in the instrument
panel
