ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (5/6)
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 the vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-
ing wheel, pedals etc.).
The system cannot be activated:
- when the gearbox lever is in neutral or the clutch pedal has been depressed during approximately ten seconds;
- when the parking brake is activated;
- when the Electronic Stability Program (ESC) has started;
- while cornering.
System servicing/repairs
- In the event of an impact, the sensor alignment may become changed, and its operation will consequently be affected.
Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
- Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements, touching up of paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
2.34
CarManuals2.co
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (6/6)
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.);
- ...
In these conditions, the system may not react or may brake inadvertently.
Limitation of the system operation
- Each time the vehicle is started, the system carries out a calibration according to the vehicle surroundings and may be in-
active for a length of time between approximately two to five minutes.
- A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.
- The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system.
- The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles.
In these conditions, the system may not react or may brake inadvertently.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
- the brake lights are not functioning;
- the front of the vehicle has received an impact or has been damaged;
- the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns).
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
Halting the function
You can halt the active emergency braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering
wheel in an avoidance manoeuvre.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (5/6)
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 driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of the system indications.
The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.
System servicing/repairs
- In the event of an impact, the alignment of the sensors may be changed and its operation may consequently be affected.
Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.
- Any work in the area where the sensors are located (repairs, replacements, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified profes-
sional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
System disturbance
Some conditions can disrupt or damage the operation of the system, for example:
- complex surroundings (metal bridges, tunnels, roads with barriers at the edge, etc.);
- poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice, etc.).
Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
2.47
CarManuals2.co
BLIND SPOT WARNING (6/6)
Limitation of the system operation
- The area around the sensors should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper opera-
tion of the system.
- Small objects moving close to the vehicle (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be recognised by the system.
- When turning into a bend, the radars may temporarily cease to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes.
- The system may not provide a warning when the other vehicles are travelling at a significantly different speed.
- The vehicle is travelling on a winding road.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
- the area around the sensors has been damaged;
- the vehicle is fitted with a towbar that is not recognised by the system.

SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The self-locking differential controls the
torque transmitted to each rear wheel.
Depending on the grip conditions on
the road surface, and at low speeds
(under 20 mph/30 kph), this device en-
ables wheel torque to move automati-
cally, thereby providing increased grip.
This enables the grip potential of each
wheel to be used to the fullest possi-
ble extent, thereby enabling the vehicle
to run over areas with decreased grip
(e.g.: work sites, muddy ground, etc.).
Once the rear wheels return to surfaces
with normal grip (eg: return to paved
roads), the self-locking differential
device will be deactivated, sometimes
accompanied by a noise (with no con-
sequence to vehicle behaviour). You
have the option of turning this device
off yourself, once normal grip condi-
tions have resumed, by briefly releas-
ing the accelerator
This function
is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, it does not in-
crease the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
It cannot, therefore, under any cir-
cumstances replace the vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.
