(Continued)
(Continued)
The gear selector is a joystick style shifting
mechanism which returns to the center position
automatically. It can be pushed forward twice and
rearward twice, based on the starting condition.
The PARK (P) mode can be enabled/disabled by
pushing the PARK (P) button. PARK (P) mode is
automatically activated if the following conditions
are met simultaneously:
DRIVE (D) mode or REVERSE (R) mode is active
The vehicle’s speed is close to 0 mph (0 km/h)
The brake pedal is released
The driver’s seat belt is not fastened
The driver’s door is open
To transition the vehicle into REVERSE (R) mode
from DRIVE (D) mode, or into DRIVE (D) mode
from REVERSE (R) mode, it is necessary to move
the gear selector by pushing the gear selector
button.
AutoStick can be activated by moving the gear
selector from DRIVE (D) to the left and then
forward toward the - symbol (or backward toward
the + symbol) changing the gear.

To shift out of PARK (P), or to pass from position
NEUTRAL (N) to position DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R),
the vehicle must be moving at a low speed or
stopped, and the brake pedal must also be pressed.

NOTE:

DO NOT accelerate while shifting from position
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to another position.
After selecting a gear, wait a few seconds
before accelerating. This precaution is partic -
ularly important with the engine cold.
It is not possible to select NEUTRAL (N) mode
from PARK (P) mode.
TRANSMISSION OPERATING MODES
PARK (P)
The transmission is locked in this mode. The
engine can be started in this mode.

NOTE:
Never try to engage PARK (P) mode when the
vehicle is moving. Before leaving the vehicle,
make sure this mode is engaged (letter P shown
on the display and gear selector) and that the
parking brake is engaged.
When parking on a flat surface, first engage the
PARK (P) mode and then engage the EPB.
When parking uphill, before activating the PARK
(P) mode, engage the EPB. Otherwise, it could be
difficult to engage the PARK (P) mode.
To check that the PARK (P) mode is actually
engaged, make sure P is illuminated on the
display and on the gear selector.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substitute
for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the gear selector out of PARK with the
brake pedal released. Make sure the
transmission is in PARK before leaving the
vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all
vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Before exiting a
vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift
the transmission into PARK, and turn the
ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF
position, the transmission is locked in PARK,
securing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock the
vehicle.
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 transmission
gear selector.
WARNING!

REVERSE (R)
Select this mode only with the vehicle at a
standstill.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for
prolonged periods with the engine running. The
engine may be started in this range. Apply the
EPB and shift the transmission into PARK (P) if
you must leave the vehicle.DRIVE (D)
Use this mode in normal driving conditions.
Shifting from DRIVE (D) to PARK (P) or REVERSE
(R) modes must take place only after releasing
the accelerator pedal, with vehicle at a standstill
and brake pedal pressed.
This mode ensures automatic engagement of the
most suitable gears for driving needs and
maximum fuel economy in terms of consumption.
In this position, the transmission shifts the gears
automatically, selecting the most suitable for
forward driving among those available as you go.
In this way the vehicle's optimal driving character
-
istics are provided for all conditions.
AutoStick
In the case of frequent shifting (e.g. for sport
driving, when the vehicle is driven with a heavy
load, on slopes, when towing heavy trailers), it is
recommended to use the AutoStick (sequential
shifting) mode to select and keep a lower fixed
ratio.
In these conditions, the use of a lower gear
improves vehicle performance and prevents
overheating.
It is possible to shift from DRIVE (D) mode to
AutoStick mode regardless of vehicle speed. Activation
Starting from DRIVE (D) mode, to activate the
sequential drive mode, move the gear selector to
the left (– and + indication of the trim). The gear
engaged will be shown on the display.
Shifting is made by moving the gear selector
forward, toward symbol – or backward, toward
symbol +.
Steering Column Mounted Shift Paddles —
If Equipped
The gear can be manually shifted also by using
the paddles behind the steering wheel, pull the
right paddle (+) toward the steering wheel and
release it to engage a higher gear, perform the
same operation with the left paddle (-) to engage
a lower gear.
Steering Column Mounted Shift Paddles

NOTE:
If only one manual shift is necessary, the letter D
will remain on the display with the engaged gear
next to it.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in the
ACC position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Before moving the transmission gear
selector out of PARK, you must push the
ignition button to cycle from OFF position to
the ACC position, and also press the brake
pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear
selector could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range,
as this can damage the drivetrain.
WARNING! WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off
the ignition to coast down a hill. These are
unsafe practices that limit your response to
changing traffic or road conditions. You might
lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.

Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential driving mode, bring
the gear selector back in position DRIVE (D)
("automatic" driving mode).

NOTE:

To select the correct gear for maximum
deceleration (engine brake), keep the gear
paddle pulled (–): the transmission goes to an
operating mode in which the vehicle can slow
down easily.
The vehicle will keep the gear selected by the
driver until the safety conditions allow it.
This means, for example, that the system will
try to prevent the engine from switching off,
automatically downshifting if the engine speed
is too low.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIMP HOME
M
ODE
Transmission function is monitored electronically
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays in
FOURTH gear, regardless of the selected gear. Positions PARK (P), REVERSE (R) and NEUTRAL
(N) still work.
The symbol might light up in the instrument
cluster.
Temporary failure
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Push and hold the ignition until the engine turns off.
4. Wait for about 10 seconds, then restart the engine.
5. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmis -
sion will return to normal operation.

NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom -
mend that you visit an authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. An authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could reoccur. If the transmission
cannot be reset, service is required at an autho -
rized dealer.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
(BTSI) S
YSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI that holds
the gear selector in PARK (P) unless the brakes
are applied.
This system prevents you from moving the gear
selector from position PARK (P) unless the brakes
are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK (P), the
ignition must be cycled to the ON/RUN position
(engine running or not) and the brake pedal must
be pressed.
Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing the vehicle,
conveyor vehicle washing systems), inhibit the
automatic activation of PARK (P) mode when
stopping the engine. To do so, follow the
directions below:
1. Bring the vehicle to a standstill.
2. Place the transmission in the NEUTRAL (N)
position.
3. Push the ignition button for at least three seconds.
The automatic activation of PARK (P) when the
engine is stopped can also be deactivated on the
Information and Entertainment system by
selecting the following functions on the main
menu: "Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking
on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could
lose their grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal injury.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Failure to comply with what is reported below may
damage the transmission:
Shift into PARK (P) mode only with the vehicle
at a standstill.
Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass from
REVERSE to another mode only with the
vehicle at a standstill and engine idling.
Do not change between PARK (P), REVERSE
(R), NEUTRAL (N) or DRIVE (D) modes with
engine running at a speed above idling.
Before activating any transmission operating
mode, fully press the brake pedal.

NOTE:
The unexpected movement of the vehicle can
injure the occupants or people nearby. Do not
leave the vehicle with engine running: before
getting out of the passenger compartment always
engage the EPB, select the PARK (P) mode, and
stop the engine.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all
vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Before exiting a
vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift
the transmission into PARK, and turn the
ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF
position, the transmission is locked in PARK,
securing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock the
vehicle.
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
parking brake, brake pedal or the
transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in the
ON/RUN or ACC position. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Only engage the gear with engine at idling
while fully pressing the brake pedal. If the
transmission temperature exceeds the
normal operating limits, the transmission
control unit may change the gear
engagement order and reduce the drive
torque. If the transmission overheats, it
could operate incorrectly until it cools down.
When using the vehicle with extremely low
external temperatures, the transmission
operation may change depending on the
engine and transmission temperature, as
well as vehicle speed. Activation of the
torque converter clutch and of the EIGHTH
gear is inhibited until the transmission oil is
correctly warmed up. Complete operation of
the transmission will be enabled as soon as
the fluid temperature reaches the
predefined value.

ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control, and safety
reasons, the engine can restart automatically
without any action by the driver, under special
conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly).
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on roads
with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start system for
more than approximately three minutes.
With the automatic climate control active, an
adjustment in cabin heating or cooling is made
or with MAX-DEF function active.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped through the Stop/
Start system, if the driver releases their seat belt,
opens the driver's or passenger's door, or opens
the hood from inside the vehicle, the engine can
be restarted only by using the ignition.
This condition is indicated to the driver both
through a buzzer and a message on the
instrument cluster display.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
If the driver does not carry out any action for more
than three minutes after the automatic engine
restart, the Stop/Start system will switch off the
engine in order to prevent fuel consumption.
In this situation, the engine can only be restarted
using the ignition device.

NOTE:
It is possible to keep the engine running by deac-
tivating the system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Stop/Start
system is deactivated.
For failure indications

VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the battery
is replaced), special attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power supply.
Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to disconnect
sensor (battery status monitoring) installed on
the negative pole of the battery. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced. Battery Power Supply

NOTE:
After setting the ignition to OFF and having closed
the driver side door, wait at least one minute
before disconnecting the electrical supply from
the battery. When reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery, make sure that the ignition
is in the OFF position and the driver side door is
closed.

Resume Button Location
In AutoStick (sequential) mode, before resuming
the previously set speed, you should accelerate
until you are close to that speed. Then, push and
release the RES button.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the Cruise
Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise Control
system
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the Cruise Control
functions with controlling the distance from the
vehicle ahead. ACC increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control
function performs differently

Ú
page 98.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC
uses a radar sensor located behind the front
bumper and a camera located in the center/
upper part of the windshield, to detect the
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
The system sets and holds the vehicle at the
desired speed without needing to press the
accelerator. It also sets and holds a distance
from the vehicle ahead (these settings are set by
the driver).
Front Bumper Radar Location Windshield Camera Location
If the system detects a vehicle ahead, it will
automatically intervene by slightly braking or
accelerating in order to maintain the preset
distance. It will not exceed the original set speed
when adapting to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not guar -
anteed under the following circumstances, and it
is recommended to turn the system off when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads, roads
with steep inclines, or roads with numerous
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed

STARTING AND OPERATING

104

Overtake Aid

When driving with ACC engaged and following a
vehicle at a speed greater than 45 mph (70 km/h),
the system will provide an additional acceleration
up to the ACC set speed to assist in passing the
vehicle. This additional acceleration is triggered
when the driver utilizes the left turn signal and will
only be active when passing on the left hand side.

The system detects the direction of traffic
automatically when the vehicle passes from left
hand traffic to right hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active when the
reference vehicle is overtaken on the right. The additional acceleration is deactivated when the
driver uses the right direction indicator and
returns to the original lane.
Stop And Go Function
The Stop and Go operating strategy allows you to
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead
until the vehicle has completely stopped.
In the event that the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following the vehicle
in front, if the vehicle in front starts moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion
without the need for any driver action.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will have to push the RES/
SET switch upward to restart.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated and the set speed is
canceled if:
The on/off button is pushed (when the system
is on or paused)
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
RACE mode is activated (Quadrifoglio models)The system is canceled (the set speed and
distance are stored):
When the system is paused
Ú
page 101
When the conditions shown in the “Activating
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” section occur

Ú
page 101
Limited Operation Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on the display,
a condition limiting the Adaptive Cruise Control
operation may have occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of the
vehicle’s sensor or camera. It could also be due
to a fault in the system. If an obstruction is
detected, clean the area of the windshield
opposite the interior rearview mirror, where the
camera is located, as well as the area of the front
fascia/bumper where the sensor is located. Then
check that the message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake
late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay
alert and may need to intervene. The following
are examples of these types of situations:
Towing A Trailer
Towing a trailer is not recommended when using
ACC.
If the system predicts that the braking level is
insufficient to hold the set distance, either
“BRAKE!” or a dedicated message is
displayed to warn the driver of approaching
the vehicle ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advised to brake
immediately as necessary to hold a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
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.
WARNING!
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision and death or serious personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

116

Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of an obstacle
by displaying a single red arc in the detected
area, in relation to the distance of the object and
the position of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or rear
central area, a single red arc will be displayed as
the obstacle approaches, first constant, then
flashing, in addition to an acoustic signal.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or rear left
and/or right area, a single red flashing arc will be
shown in the corresponding area on the display
and the system will emit an acoustic signal, either
at frequent intervals or constantly.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the obstacle
when a single red flashing arc is shown on the
display and the acoustic signal becomes
continuous.
If several obstacles are detected simultaneously
in the front and rear area, the display will show all
of them, regardless of the area in which they were
detected.
It is not possible to exit from the display screen
while the vehicle is in REVERSE.
Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the front or the
rear of the vehicle, an acoustic signal with
variable frequency will sound:
The acoustic signal increases in frequency as
the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes continuous when
the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 11 inches (30 cm), and
stops if the distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged.

NOTE:
If the sensors detect several front and rear obsta-
cles, the closest obstacle is considered. An inter -
mittent signal will sound if the obstacles are at
the same distance (front and rear).
When the system emits an acoustic signal, the
volume of the radio system, if activated, is
automatically lowered.
An acoustic signal will not sound if the vehicle is
in PARK.
ENABLING AND DISABLING PARKSENSE
For vehicles only equipped with rear sensors, to
turn the system off, push the ParkSense button
located to the left of the headlight switch. The
indicator light within the button will illuminate
when the system is turned off. Pushing the button
a second time will turn the system back on, and
the indicator light will turn off.
ParkSense System On/Off Button For vehicles equipped with front and rear
sensors, to turn the front parking sensors off,
push the ParkSense button located to the left of
the headlight switch. The indicator light within the
switch will illuminate when the system is turned
off. Pushing the button a second time will turn the
front sensors back on, and the indicator light will
turn off.

NOTE:
Deactivation of both the front
and rear parking
sensors can only be done through the radio
system.
The indicator light within the ParkSense system
switch will also be on in case of system failure. If
the switch is pushed with a system failure, the
indicator light will flash for approximately five
seconds. The light will then stay on constantly.

NOTE:
When the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN posi -
tion, the ParkSense system keeps the last state
when the engine was stopped (activated or deac -
tivated) in its memory.
PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be indicated
when REVERSE is engaged by a message on the
instrument cluster display

Ú
page 70.
In case of system failure, a dedicated message
appears on the instrument cluster for about five
seconds.
Cleaning The Front Or Rear Sensors : If the
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that the
outer surface and the underside of the front
and rear bumpers are free of debris (e.g. snow,
mud, ice, etc.). Once these areas are clear,
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 116

117

(Continued)
place the ignition in the OFF position, then
return it to ON/RUN. If the message is still
displayed, contact an authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available
: If the display
shows a message that the audio system is not
available, it means that the acoustic signal will
be emitted by the instrument panel, and not
through the vehicle’s speakers.
OPERATION WITH A TRAILER
The operation of the ParkSense system is
automatically deactivated when a trailer’s
electrical connector is plugged into the vehicle.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when
the electrical connector is removed.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS

NOTE:
Some conditions may influence the performance
of the ParkSense system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to the
presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick paint on
the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false obstacle (echo
interference) due to mechanical interference,
for example when washing the vehicle or in
extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems of trucks or
pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can be influenced by the
position of the sensors. For example, due to a
change in the ride setting (caused by wear to
the shock absorbers or suspension), by changing tires, overloading the vehicle or
operations that require the vehicle to be
lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers or other
adhesives over the sensors as this will affect
system performance.
The presence of a trailer hitch without a trailer.
This may interfere with the operation of the
parking sensors. Before using the ParkSense
system, it is recommended to remove or close
the trailer hitch assembly when the vehicle is
not being used for towing.
LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW) SYSTEM
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING OPERATION
The Lane Departure Warning system uses a
forward looking camera located on the
windshield to detect lane markings and measure
vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are detected and
the vehicle passes over one without an activated
turn signal, the system emits a visual as well as
an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the line of
the lane without any intervention from the driver,
the surpassed line will light up on the display (left
or right) to urge the driver to bring the vehicle
back into the limits of the lane.
WARNING!
Before using the ParkSense system, it is
strongly recommended that the ball mount
and hitch ball assembly be disconnected
from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used
for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury
or damage to vehicles or obstacles because
the hitch ball will be much closer to the
obstacle than the rear fascia when the
vehicle sounds the continuous tone. Also, the
sensors could detect the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkSense system.
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. You are responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rearview mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow, or
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be compromised
by the presence of dust, condensation, dirt
or ice on the windshield, by traffic conditions
(e.g. vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with a
small radius of curvature), by road surface
conditions and by driving conditions (e.g.
off-road driving). Make sure the windshield is
always clean. Use specific detergents and
clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windshield. The camera operation may also
be limited or absent in some driving, traffic
and road surface conditions.
