This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers...
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs)...
Other information:
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions"...
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum
towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10%
per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower air
density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance...
