Radar Indication Not Available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.This
generally occurs in the event of poor
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The function of this system can also be
temporarily reduced due to obstructions
such as mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In
such cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system will
be deactivated.This message can
sometimes appear in conditions of high
reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflective
tiles or ice or snow). When the conditions
limiting the system functions end, it will
go back to normal and complete
operation.
In certain cases, this dedicated message
could be displayed when the radar is not
detecting any vehicles or objects within
its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the
reason behind this message, check if the
sensor is dirty. It could be necessary to
clean or remove any obstructions in the
area.
If the message appears frequently, even
in the absence of atmospheric conditions
such as snow, rain, mud or other
obstructions, contact your authorized
dealer for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,
manually removing the decorative cover
trim and cleaning the radar surface could
be required. Have this operation
performed at your authorized dealer.
Note:
It is recommended that you do not
install devices, accessories or
aerodynamic attachments in front of the
sensor or darken it in any way, as this can
compromise the correct functioning of
the system.
Frontal Collision Alarm With Active
Braking
If this function is selected, the brakes are
operated to reduce the speed of the
vehicle in the event of potential frontal
impact.
This function applies an additional
braking pressure if the braking pressure
applied by the driver does not suffice to
prevent potential frontal impact.
The function is active with speed above
4 mph (7 km/h).
Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system
intervention might be unexpected or
delayed.The driver must therefore be
very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a
roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the
vehicle.
Note:
In particularly complex traffic
conditions, the driver can deactivate the
system manually through the Information
and Entertainment System.
Driving Close To A Bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend, the
system may detect a vehicle in front you,
but not driving in the same driving lane. In
cases such as these, the system may
intervene.

SAFETY
The Vehicle Ahead Is Leaving A
Roundabout
On a roundabout, the system could
intervene when it detects a vehicle ahead
that is leaving the roundabout.
Vehicles With Small Dimensions
And/Or Not Aligned In The Driving Lane
The system cannot detect vehicles in
front of the vehicle if they are outside the
range of the radar sensor or may not
react to small vehicles, such as bicycles
or motorcycles.
Lane Change By Other Vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lanes to enter
the same lane as your vehicle within the
operating range of the radar sensor, may
cause the system to intervene.
Vehicles Traveling At Right Angles To
The Vehicle
The system could temporarily react to a
vehicle that is passing at right angles
through the radar sensor’s operating
range.
Warning!
The system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect possible
conditions leading to an accident in
advance. Failure to take into account this
warning may lead to serious or fatal injuries.
The system may activate, assessing the
trajectory of the vehicle, for the presence of
reflecting metal objects different from
other vehicles, such as safety barriers, road
signs, barriers before parking lots, tollgates,
level crossings, gates, railways, objects near
road constructions sites or higher than the
vehicle (e.g. a fly-over). In the same way, the
system may intervene inside multi-story
parking lots or tunnels, or due to a glare on
the road surface.These possible activations
are a consequence of the real driving
scenario coverage by the system and must
not be regarded as faults.

The system has been designed for road
use only. If the vehicle is driven on a track,
the system must be deactivated to avoid
unnecessary warnings. Automatic
deactivation is signaled by the dedicated
warning light/symbol switching on in the
instrument panel (refer to the instructions in
the "Warning Lights And Messages OnThe
Instrument Panel" in "GettingTo Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information).
General Information
This vehicle has systems that operate on
radio frequency that comply with Part
15 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules and with
Industry Canada Standards RSS-
GEN/210/220/310.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. The device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. The device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to any of these
systems by other than an authorized
service facility could void authorization
to use this equipment.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The vehicle is equipped with aTire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
sends the inflation pressure information
of each tire to the control unit, and will
signal the driver in the event of
insufficient tire pressure.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature
by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every
12°F (6.5°C).This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will also decrease.Tire pressure
should always be set based on cold
inflation tire pressure.This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not
been driven for at least three hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a
three hour period.The cold tire inflation
pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire
sidewall. Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing
And Maintenance” for information on
how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the
vehicle is driven.This is normal, and there
should be no adjustment for this
increased pressure.
TheTPMS will signal the driver if
pressure falls below the warning limit for
any reason, including the effects of low
temperature and normal loss of pressure
from the tire.
TheTPMS will stop indicating insufficient
tire pressure when pressure is equal to or
greater than the prescribed cold inflation
level.Therefore, if insufficient tire
pressure is indicated by the (
) warning
light displaying in the instrument cluster,
increase the inflation pressure up to the
prescribed cold inflation value.
The system will automatically update,
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Warning Light” will turn off once the
system receives the updated tire
pressures.The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for theTPMS
to receive this information.
Operating Example
For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more than
three hours) placard pressure of 33 psi
(227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is
68°F (20°C), and the measured tire
pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a
temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will
decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 24 psi (165 kPa).This tire
pressure is low enough to turn on the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light.”
Driving the vehicle may cause the tire
pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi
(193 kPa), but the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will still be on.
In this situation, the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will turn off
only after the tires are inflated to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value.

SAFETY
Caution!
TheTPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS
pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style.TheTPM
sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance or sensor
damage. Customers are encouraged to use
OEM wheels to assure properTPM feature
operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause theTire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
your authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap.This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage theTPMS sensor.
Insufficient Tire Pressure Indication
If an insufficient pressure value is
detected on one or more tires, the
warning light in the instrument cluster
will display alongside the dedicated
messages, the system will highlight the
tire or tires with insufficient pressure
graphically, and an acoustic signal will be
emitted.
In this case, stop the vehicle, check the
inflation pressure of each tire, and inflate
the necessary tire or tires to the correct
cold inflation pressure value, shown on
the display or in the dedicatedTPMS
menu.
TPMS Temporarily Disabled:
TPMS Check Message
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light” will
flash on and off for 75 seconds, and then
remain on solid.The system fault will also
sound a chime. If the ignition is cycled,
this sequence will repeat, provided that
the system fault still exists.The “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light” will
turn off when the fault condition no
longer exists. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the
same radio frequencies as theTPMS
sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Packed snow or ice around the wheels
or wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
After the punctured tire has been
repaired with the original tire sealant
contained in theTireKit, the previous
condition must be restored so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
TPMS Deactivation
TheTPMS can be deactivated by
replacing all four wheel and tire
assemblies (road tires) with wheel and
tire assemblies that do not haveTPMS
Sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate theTPMS, first replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires not equipped withTire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h).TheTPMS will
chime, the "TPMS Warning Light" will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on.The instrument cluster will
display the “SERVICETPM SYSTEM”
message and then display dashes (--) in
place of the pressure values.
