Features Specific for Vehicle
without ADAS • Blind Spot Assist
Activating this feature the BSA and
RCP systems assist the driver when
changing lanes, overtaking and
when parking, by detecting the
arrival of other vehicles from a side
or rear blind spot. When this
happens, a light signal appears in
the external rear-view mirror.
When the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) is

activated, the system will show a
warning light in the outside mirrors
as well as give an audible alert when
the turn signal is on. When “Off” is
selected, the system is deactivated.
For description of this system, see
chapter “Blind Spot Assist - BSA” in
section “Driving”. Features Specific for Vehicles
with ADAS • Lane Keeping Assist
Activating this feature the LKA

vehicle.
The current system setting is shown
in blue on the right side of the LKA
soft-key.
Touching this soft-key the set page
of LKA system will be displayed (see

will try to prevent collision between
host vehicle and potential blind
spot collision hazard. System applies
direct input to electric power
steering system to change direction
of vehicle to avoid collision.
The current system setting is shown
in blue on the right side of the
ABSA soft-key. Touching this
soft-key the set page of ABSA
system will be displayed (see

See “Active Blind Spot Assist -

details.
• Forward Collision Warning (with
active braking)
The FCW feature primarily uses the
front radar and forward looking
camera for sensing vehicles and
pedestrian (if the car is equipped
with Pedestrian Emergency Braking
- PEB function) ahead, and will
provide warnings to the driver and
may perform braking maneuvers.
The current system setting is shown
in blue on the right side of the FCW
soft-key.
Touching this soft-key the set page
of FCW system will be displayed (see
picture). FCW is always active: it is possible to
set the sensitivity and the aid of the
active braking.
FCW sensitivity can be set to
“Near”, to “Medium” or to “Far”.
The default status of FCW is the
“Medium” setting. Setting it to
“Far” means the system will warn
you of a possible collision with the
vehicle or pedestrian (if the car is
equipped with Pedestrian
Emergency Braking - PEB function)
in front of you when you are
farther away. This gives you the best
reaction time, though could lead to
some more unwanted warnings.
“Medium” gives instead a little less
time for reacting compared to
“Far”, but at the same time should
lead to less not desired warning.

dynamic driving, select the “Near”Dashboard Instruments and Controls
