KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

ERM (Electronic Rollover
Mitigation) SYSTEM
The system monitors the tendency of the
wheels to rise from the ground if the
driver performs extreme manoeuvres like
quick steering to avoid an obstacle,
especially in poor road conditions.
If these conditions occur, the system
intervenes on the brakes and engine
power to reduce the possibility that the
wheels are raised from the ground. It is
not possible to avoid tendency to roll over
if the phenomenon is due to reasons
such as driving on high side gradients,
collision with objects or other vehicles.
59)
TSC (Trailer Sway Control)
SYSTEM
The system employs a series of sensors
located on the vehicle to identify
excessive swerving of the trailer and take
the necessary precautions to eliminate it.
System intervention
When the system is active, the
warning light flashes on the
instrument panel, the engine power is
reduced and braking can be felt on the
individual wheels, following the attempt
to eliminate the swerving of the trailer.
The system is active only with ESC
engaged.When the ESC system is deactivated (by
pressing the button on the central
tunnel), the TSC system is deactivated as
well.
60) 61)
HDC (Hill Descent Control)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
62) 63)
On cars equipped in this way, this
function is an integral part of the ESC
system and is aimed at keeping the car
at a constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously and in different
ways on the brakes.
In this way the vehicle stability and
completely safe driving are guaranteed,
above all in poor grip conditions and
steep descents.
Enabling the system
To enable the system, press the button
fig. 70.The system is enabled if the following
conditions are met:
theSelec-Terrain™device is in 4WD
LOW mode;
the vehicle speed is below 12 km/h;the electric parking brake (EPB) is
deactivated;
the driver side door is closed.
The system activation is reported by the
continuous switching-on of the icon
on
the display along with a dedicated
message.
Activation of the system
Once enabled, the HDC system will
activate automatically if the vehicle is
driven downhill on a steep slope, higher
than 8%.

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system uses two radar sensors,
located in the rear bumper (one for each
side - see fig. 72) to detect the presence
of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of the
vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of cars in the detection area by
lighting up, on the relevant side, the
warning light located on the door mirror
fig. 73, along with an acoustic warning.
When the ignition device is in MAR
position, or when the engine is started,the warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated by shifting to
any forward gear at a speed higher than
about 10 km/h, or when reverse is
engaged. The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and electric
parking brake engaged (versions with
manual gearbox).
The detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the vehicle
(around 3 metres). This area begins from
72J0A0921C
73J0A0217C
108
SAFETY

the door mirror and extends for about
6 metres towards the rear part of the
vehicle.
With the sensors 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.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a warning needs to be sent to
the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Important notes
68)
The system does not signal 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 warn the driver
about the presence of cars coming from
the opposite direction, in the adjacent
lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the car, the
system automatically deactivates.
For correct system operations, the rearbumper 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.).
If a tow hook has to be installed after
purchasing the vehicle, the system must
be deactivated from the display Menu or
through theUconnect™system.
Rear view: the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle is
overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this stays
in the blind spot for about 1.5 seconds,
the warning light on the door mirror of
the corresponding side lights up. If the
speed delta between the two vehicles is
higher than about 25 km/h, the warning
light does not light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection) system
This system helps during reverse
manoeuvres in the case of reduced
visibility. During "RCP" operating mode,
the system produces acoustic and visual
indications when if the presence of an
object is detected. When an acousticwarning is sent, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
The system can be activated/deactivated
through the display Menu or the
Uconnect™system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the sides
of the vehicle at a minimum speed
comprised between about 1 km/h and
3 km/h and objects moving at a
maximum speed of 35 km/h, as generally
happens in the parking areas. The system
activation is signalled to the driver by
means of a visual and acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode: when this
mode is active, the BSM system sends a
visual warning to the door mirror relating
to the object detected. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual and
acoustic warnings when the presence of
an approaching object is detected. When
an acoustic warning is sent,
theUconnect™volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Sound & Display" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the door
mirror relating to the object detected. If
the direction indicator on the side where

Important notesThe system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to anaccident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to serious
or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car, in
case of reflecting metal objects different
from other cars, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
tollgates, level crossings, gates, railways,
objects near road constructions sites or
higher than the car (e.g. a flyover). In the
same way, the system may intervene
inside multi-storey car parks or tunnels,
or due to a glare on the road surface.
These possible activations follow the
normal operating logic of the system and
must not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven
off-road, the system must be deactivated,
to avoid unnecessary warnings. By
selecting the 4WD LOW mode, the
system is automatically deactivated.
Automatic deactivation is indicated by
the dedicated warning light/icon
switching on in the instrument panel.
The system is only active if a trailer
has not been connected with the original
tow hook.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
(where provided)
73) 74) 75) 76) 77) 78) 79)42)
The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) reports low tyre pressure based
on the cold pressure indicated in the
"Technical specifications” chapter.
The system consists of a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which sends
information on the inflation pressure of
each tyre to the control unit.
The system automatically updates and
warning light
switches off each time
the system receives the updated inflation
pressures. The vehicle might need to be
driven at a speed higher than about
25 km/h up to 20 minutes for the TPMS
to receive this information.
IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. The
pressures and alarms reported by the
TPMS are defined according to the
size of the tyres fitted on the vehicle.
Using spare wheels of a different sizes,
types and/or designs from the original
ones may cause the system to operate
incorrectly and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre
