turn signal FIAT 500X 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (where provided)
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning light
on in the instrument panel and symbols
on the display) and an acoustic signal
(see the following paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic
warning permanently go to a Fiat
Dealership. The acoustic warning can
be reactivated at any time through the
display Menu (see the "Display"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
FRONT SEAT BELT
WARNING LIGHT
BEHAVIOUR
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
(see fig. 68 )
lights up for a few seconds, regardless
of the status of the front seat belts.
With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant present) is
unfastened, the warning light stays on
constantly.As soon as the threshold of 8 km/h is
exceeded for a few seconds with driver
or passenger side (with passenger
present) seat belts unfastened, an
acoustic warning is activated together
with the flashing of the
warning light
for approximately 105 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the vehicle speed) or until
the seat belts are fastened again.
When the reverse is engaged, during
the cycle of warnings, the acoustic
signal is deactivated and the
warning light turns on constantly.
The cycle of warnings will be
reactivated as soon as speed exceeds
8 km/h again.
REAR SEAT BELT ICON
BEHAVIOUR
The icons are shown on the display
(fig. 69 versions with colour display or
fig. 70 versions with monochromatic
display) after a few seconds have
elapsed since the ignition device is
turned to MAR.
The icons will disappear after
approximately 30 seconds or after the
seat belts are fastened.

SAFETY

DRIVE MODE
The device allows the driver to
select three different driving
modes (car response) according to their
needs and to the road and traffic
conditions, by manually adjusting the
central tunnel knob ring nut A fig. 104.
- "Auto" mode
- "Traction" mode (4x4 or
4x2 versions depending on the trim
level)
- "All Weather" mode (only
4x2 versions depending on the trim
level)
- "Sport" mode.The device, through the on-board
electronic system, operates on the
dynamic control systems of the car:
engine, steering, ESC system,
4x4 system (if available),
gearbox/transmission, and is interfaced
with the instrument panel.
The rotating ring nut is monostable
type. In other words, it always returns
to the central position when released.
The acceptance by the system of the
requested driving mode is signalled by
the LED, located besides the symbol,
coming on, and by the corresponding
symbol appearing on the instrument
panel display.
When the engine is started, the system
usually maintains the driving mode that
was active before the engine was
stopped. For versions/markets where
provided, on start-up, the system is set
to the "Auto" mode.
"Auto" MODE
Recommended mode for normal
driving, aimed at comfort and safety in
normal grip and driving conditions. On
4x4 versions, this mode also reduces
fuel consumption, since it automatically
disconnects the transmission from the
rear wheels if the road and driving
conditions allow it, in addition to
changing drive torque distribution
between the front and rear axles.
Activation
Starting from the active "Traction/All
Weather" mode, turn the ring nut
anticlockwise, keeping it in this position
for at least half a second, and in any
case until the relevant LED turns on,
and the selected mode is shown on the
display. The LED for the previously set
mode will simultaneously turn off. Upon
release, the ring nut will return to the
central position.
Starting from the active "Sport" mode,
turn the ring nut clockwise, keeping it in
this position for at least half a second,
and in any case until the relevant LED
turns on, and the selected mode is
shown on the display. The LED for the
previously set mode will simultaneously
turn off. Upon release, the ring nut will
return to the central position.

STARTING AND DRIVING
(where provided)
MOOD SELECTOR/

LANE ASSIST
SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
57) 58) 59) 60) 61) 62)
The Lane Assist system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate the
position of the vehicle within such limits,
in order to make sure that it remains
inside the lane.
When both limits of the lane are
detected and the vehicle crosses one of
them without the awareness of the
driver (direction indicator off), the Lane
Assist system provides a tactile warning
by applying torque to the steering wheel
(vibration), thus advising the driver that
he must take an action to remain in the
lane.
IMPORTANT The torque applied to the
steering wheel by the system is
sufficient for the driver to notice it, but
always limited, so that they can easily
override it, and the driver always
maintains control of the vehicle. The
driver can therefore turn the steering
wheel as required at all times.
If the vehicle continues going beyond
the line of the lane without anyintervention from the driver, the
warning light (or the icon on the
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on the
steering wheel. If they are not detected,
the system emits an acoustic signal and
deactivates until it is reactivated by
pressing the dedicated button (see
description below).
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light
(or the
icon on the display) will be displayed on
the instrument panel to urge the driver
to bring the vehicle back into the lane.
In this case, the tactile warning
(vibration on the steering wheel) is not
provided.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The Lane Assist system can be
enabled/disabled using button A
fig. 106, located on the left stalk.Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status
there was when it was previously
switched off.
On some versions, a dedicated
message appears on the display when
it is activated and deactivated.
Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;
vehicle speed ranges between
60 km/h and 180 km/h;
the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;
