OPERATION
The system is always active when the
vehicle is started. It can be deactivated
or re-activated by pressing button A
fig. 128 on the dashboard (see
following description).
The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been
activated and a dedicated message
appears on the display.
When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.
The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel light up).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore
the two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel switch off
to prevent excessively frequent
warnings while driving in towns or on
winding roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
and on
the instrument panel switching on
constantly.
