ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (6/7)
Active emergency braking
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be
delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of t\
he vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-
ing wheel, pedals etc.).
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera alignment may be changed, an\
d its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the radar-camera is located (repairs, replac\
ements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be car- ried out by a qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the su\
rrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo- cated in a snowy area etc.);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.

TYRES (1/3)
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have tread wear indica-
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.
When the tread has worn down to the
wear warning strips,
these strips will
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at
most, resulting in poor road holding
on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.
