windscreen glass, by traffic conditions
(e.g. vehicles that are driving not aligned
with yours, of vehicle in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend
with a narrow radius of curvature), by
road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make
sure the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
FORWARD CROSSING
ALERT SYSTEM
(detection of
pedestrians/cyclists
in the blind spot) AND
BSIS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
(front blind spot
detection)
The vehicle can be equipped with
Forward Crossing Alert and Blind
Spot Information System (BSIS) for
monitoring the front blind spot and the
side blind spot on the passenger side.
The Forward Crossing Alert system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
front side bumper (fig. 186, one on
each side), to detect the presence of
pedestrians and cyclists in the blind
spots from the front of the vehicle,
while the BSIS system uses a radar
sensor, located in the front side wheel
arch on the passenger side, fig. 187,
to detect the presence of cyclists in
the side zone on the side opposite the
driver

Forward Crossing
Alert (detection of
pedestrians/cyclists in
the blind spot)
The Forward Crossing Alert system
warns the driver of the presence
of pedestrians and cyclists in the
detection zone by means of acoustic
and visual alerts through the display of
specific messages on the instrument
panel display, possibly combined with
an acoustic warning.
Sensors
The sensors of the Forward Crossing
Alert system are activated when the
vehicle is running, when any gear other
than reverse is engaged, and at speeds
of 10 km/h or less. The sensors are
temporarily deactivated when reverse
gear is engaged.
Warnings
F1A2082
The Forward Crossing Alert system
does not signal the presence of fixed
object (e.g. safety barriers, poles, walls,
etc.). However, in some circumstances,
the system may activate in the
presence of these objects. This is
normal and does not indicate a system
malfunction.
For the system to operate correctly, the
front side bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
F1A1094
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface. These areas must not be
covered with any kind of object (e.g.
stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
Detection in the front zone
The Forward Crossing Alert system
detects pedestrians and cyclists
entering and passing or stationary in
