107 HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST (assistance during emergency braking) (for versions/markets, where provided) of the ESC system and is designed to improve the vehicle’s braking capacity during emergency braking. The system detects emergency braking by monitoring the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pressed, and consequently applies the optimal brake pressure. This can reduce the braking distance: the HBA system therefore completes the ABS. system is obtained pressing the brake pedal very quickly; in addition, the brake pedal should be pressed continuously during braking, avoiding intermittent presses, to obtain benefits from the system. Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal until braking is no longer necessary. the brake pedal is released. 65) 66) 67) 57) The ESC system cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 58) The ESC system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 59) The capability of the ESC system must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. 60) For the correct operation of the ESC and ASR systems it is vital that the tyres are the same make and the same type on all the wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, the recommended type and size. 61) The ASR cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 62) The ASR system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 63) The capability of the ASR must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. 64) Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your vehicle is fitted with this system. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is always responsible for road safety. 65) The HBA system cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 66) The HBA system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 67) The capability of the HBA must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) (for versions/markets, where provided) The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System iTPMS can monitor the tyre inflation status through the wheel speed sensors. The system warns the driver if one or more tyres are flat by switching on the warning light on the instrument panel and a warning message on the display dedicated with an acoustic signal. It is advisable to check the pressure of all four tyres. This indication is displayed also when turning the engine off and on until the “Reset” procedure is carried out. “Reset” procedure The iTPMS needs an initial "self- learning" phase (with length depending on the driving style and road conditions: optimal conditions being |
