compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
49) For the correct operation of the ESC
system, the tyres must necessarily be of the
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and size.
50) ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
51) For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be the
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
52) TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
53) The TC system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot increase
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
54) The TC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
55) The capability of the TC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
56) The PBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot increase
108
the grip available according to the condition
of the road.
57) The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
58) The capability of the PBA system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise the safety of the driver, the
other occupants of the car or any other road
user.
59) The HSA system is not a parking brake;
therefore, never leave the car without
having engaged the electric parking brake,
turned the engine off and engaged first
gear, so that it is parked in safe conditions
(for further information read the "Parking"
paragraph in the "Starting and driving"
chapter).
60) There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle laden,
in which the Hill Start Assist system may not
activate, causing a slight reversing motion
and increasing the risk of collision with
another vehicle or object. The driver is, in
any case, responsible for safe driving.
61) The AST system is an aid for driving and
does not relieve the driver of responsibility
for driving the car.
62) The performance of a car with HDC
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring) SYSTEM
(where provided)
The BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring) system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
rear bumper (one for each side - see
