Dynamic Steering
Torque (DST) System
The DST function uses the integration
of the ESC system with the electric
power steering to increase the safety
level of the whole vehicle.
In critical situations (braking on surfaces
with different grip conditions), the ESC
system controls the steering through
the DST function to implement an
additional torque contribution on the
steering wheel in order to suggest the
most correct maneuver to the driver.
The coordinated action of the brakes
and steering increases the sensation of
safety and control of the vehicle.
Note: The DST feature is only meant to
help the driver realize the correct course
of action through small torques on the
steering wheel, which means the
effectiveness of the DST feature is
highly dependent on the driver's
sensitivity and overall reaction to the
applied torque. It is very important to
realize that this feature will not steer the
vehicle, meaning the driver is still
responsible for steering the vehicle.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
The following auxiliary driving systems
are available in this vehicle:
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system uses two radar sensors, located
in the rear bumper (one for each side),
to detect the presence of other vehicles
in the rear side blind spots of your
vehicle.
Rear Sensor Location
The system warns the driver about the
presence of other vehicles in the
detection area by illuminating the
warning light located within the door
mirror on the side in which the other
vehicle was detected.

BSM Indicator Light

When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that
the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) or when REVERSE is
engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary and in
PARK (P).
The detection area of the system
covers approximately a lane on both
06016S0001EM
sides of the vehicle which is around 9 ft
(3 m).
This area begins from the door mirror
and extends for approximately 19 ft
(6 m) towards the rear part of the
vehicle.
